LIZARDS, SPIDERS AND TARANTULAS!
The spot on the globe where housewives have the most trouble to keep their domiciles in order has been discovered by the research department at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. This area was found to exist near Cochin, China, which serves as a locale for “Red Duet,” the production in which Clank Gable and Jean Harlow are co-starred, to be shown at the Regent Theatre on Saturday. For one slight household disaster it was found that moths in the closets of rubber plantations of the region gpow to be bigger than butterflies! Another terrible trial for housewives would be the fierce storms that blow almost daily, raising huge dust clouds over a large part of Indo-China. Layers of dirt almost an inch thick are left after the terrible winds. Other choice household companions that would be encountered during house-cleaning were found to be lizards, tarantulas, spider monkeys, black spiders, and a choice collection of snakes. All of these items
of authentic plantation “atmosphere”
are included in sets of the picture through which Gable, Miss Harlow, Gene Raymond, Mary Astor, Donald Crisp and other members of the cast go warily through their action.
