Rogers Picture Stays at Apollo 'County Chairman' Held Over for Second Week. To meet the demand of theatergoers. "The County Chairman.” a Fox Film production with Will Rogers in the title role, which is being shown currently on the Apollo screen, has been held over for a second week’s engagement, it is announced by the management. Appearing in support of Rogers are many well known screen stars including Evelyn Venable, Kent Taylor. Louise Dresser, Stepin Fetchit and Mickey Rooney. “The Couniy Chairman” is a story of smiles and heart tugs rivaling the highly successful "Judge Priest” and Da\ id Harum, ’as a vehicle for Rogers. In hi. new film Rogers is seen as a wily, lovable county bass, w’ho wins elections and arranges love matches with equal skill. The picture is a screen adaptation of the famous stage comedy of the same title by one ol Americas foremost humorists. George Ade. “The County Chairman” reveals anew locale and a period seldom seen on the screen, and it presents Will Rogers in a different type of charrr motion from anything he has previously played on the screen. The homely humor of George Ade is still rich in its American flavor. In fact, if George Ade had had Will R-gers in mind when he wrote the pay he could not have created a mo r e perfectly tailored story for the Oklanoma sage. Man) of the situations and the speeches made by Rogers in ‘ The County Chairman” are his own policies and things he has talked about over the radio and written about in his daily column in newspapers. A highlight of the production is one of thosp famous torchlight processions which were so much in vogue at the turn of the century. John Blystone directed the picture and the adaptation from Ade’s play was made by Sam Heilman and Gladys Lehman. Short subjects and Fox Movietone News round out the screen program for the week.
