Phil RHeas. Jimmie Durante, Do
rothy Provine, Rite Adams and
others.
Every day tar (ha last two weeks,
1.000 extras have shown up for the
filming. Most all of ths faces are
new, although regular extras also
report tor work. The vast number
of extras ware drawn Dorn ths cltys
unemployment rolls.
Everyone is stin talking about
last week's shooting Incident. Ne

Guards are extra cautious on the
lot now. but tho now people tUII
rush madly to ths set for vantsgs
points where they can be seen In
the front row (although this Is
doubtful In a crowd). They also run
over each other to get to lunch and
to tho departing buses.
Considering the fact that most
of them have never been on a stu
dio lot before, one can make some
allowances for them. Everyone I
talked with Is anxious to do more
pictures. This seems likely as thou
sands are to be used In George Ste

Told,“ which Is now on location In
Utah. All of the extras are getting
a chance to work a considerable
length of time In “Mad, Mad, Mad

little Christmas cheer this year. Ths
film will Shoot Indefinitely.
