JEAN HARLOW
PICTURE
IT IS with a deep sense of personal
loss that we announce Jean Harlow's
last picture, "Saratoga," in which she
is co-starred with Clark Gable. This is
the M-G-M production which she had
aimost finished and it has been
brought to the screen as a result of
preview ?howings and test engagements ?n theatres where the public
evidenced most strongly its desire to
see her final picture.
Which of her p ^ j r u s .!id you like
best? Check it and mail this slip to
the management. The ones receiving
the highest number of votes will appear at this theatre in return engagement in the near future.
