Provided you think that cow-punching, bronco-busting, and taming belligerent Mexicans is simple! Not to mention dare-devil movie stunts. But it all seems simple to Buck Jones, and that's the life he loves.

It was a small picture house in Glendale. In the crowded lobby hung a huge lithograph announcing the evening’s comedy. Beside it stood the manager of the theatre in deep conversation with a boyish looking, blue-eyed chap. A ragged newsboy rounded the corner and emitted a shrill Whoopee! at sight of the lithograph. For a minute or two he studied it in ecstasy, then he tugged at the young fellows coat. “Hey, mister, who are you?” he demanded, curiously.

Part I: A full score of talented and optically pleasing young people smile and prance before your eyes on the screen, but you rarely read anything about them. Often you do not even know their names.

In Arlette Marchal, brought from France by Paramount, is found the carefully reared flower of that great institution, the French home, rather than the little devil of the boulevards.

The great German actor, discussaing art and his coming visit to this country to make pictures for Paramount, betrays a desire with which many will sympathize and which some may try to alleviate.

Richard Dix explains how he and his director, Gregory La Cava, evolve their popular screen comedies, from the moment the scenario — which sometimes is nothing more than a scrap of paper — is placed in their hands.
