"CAFE METROPOLE” MAKES
FILM HISTORY
In the motion-picture world, tha
milestones upon the road of produc
tion progress are often marked by
outstanding sets, looming in the his
tory of the movies just as triumphal
arches mark the paths of conqueroat
in the history of mankind. Thn
most triumphal of these, the largeal
set ever built for any motion pic
ture, is that of “Cafe Metropole, **
Twentieth Century-Fox romance op
ening Thursday and Friday at the
Roosevelt Theatre, with Loretta
Young, Tyrone Power and Adolphe
Menjou in the starring roles.
The “Cafe Metropole” set occu
pies the entire Will Rogers Memorial
Stage, and is the equivalent in size
of a whole city block. Roughly cir
cular in shape, it is ringed about by
twenty huge columns, witTf a maple
laid dance floor in the center big
enough for a skating rink. A cock
tail lounge, foyer, offices and apart
ments are included.
Darryl F. Zanuck planned “Cafe
Metropole” as one of the costliest
and most elaborate films of the
year, with Loretta Young and Ty
rone Power carrying the romantic
young-love story of an Americas
heiress and an American boy “broke**

guides the course of events at bis
