Well, maybe not. But Hyman Stark
went into a police station a whole man
and was carried out Of the Nassau
County police headquarters eight hours
later with fractured larynx and other
wounds, from which he died the same

THERE is no question Of the exciting
quality of the animal film Bring

that its horrendous fights between a
tiger and a python and tiger and a
crocodile are not combats that occur in
a state of nature If "T. R" were now
alive some repercuSsive roars about ma
ture taking might very well emerge from
the White House. There are plenty Of
roars, in any case, from those who know
something about the taking of so-called
jungle films and object to the special
claims for genuinenesS made for this
film. Thus we're told, with what accu-
racy we cannot say, that in order to
get the python and crocodile to fight
the python had to be put in the croco-
dile's mouth and the mouth wired Shut
Furthermore, that these pythons were
used for the fight between pythcn and
tiger, which ends In a draw in the film {:
that the tiger was a superannuated

pythons had to be shot to keep him
from rushing the tiger.

Minus Temperament

Nixon recently scored such q decided
hit in the title role of "Rebecca of Sun
nybrook Farm" Miss Gaynor was the
first person to congratulate her. Surely
this cannot be temperament, in view OF
the fact that the story was originally
bought for Janet.
Charlie Farrell has often been called
the friendliest, most easy-going and
popular star in Hollywood. He has
more proteges than any other screen
player. His willingness to help the
her fellow was doubtless born with his
t starring assignment. When Frank
cage was seeking an actor for the
It of Chico in Seventh Heaven,
rrell recommended q friend Of his tc
he noted director, only to be selected
Tor the role himself.
The popularity OF Janet Gaynor and
Charles Farrell is possibly best explain

who directed The First Year" He re-
Gently said: IF 1t is as pIeasurable tc
watch Janet and Charlie on the screen
as 1t is to direct them In a picture, it is
easily understood why they are so pop

EVERY star, player, writer, director
- and executive should get away from
Hollywood for six weeks each year to
associate with the people who attend
motion pictures, according to Edmund
Lowe, who recently returned to Holly
wood from Q theatrical tour OF the
country He is now playing with Vic
tor McLaglen in Paramount's serio-
comic murder tangle, Guilty as He'll"
My tour was better than q vacation, "
declared Lowe. II met hundreds Of
persons who never had been in Holly
wood and had their own reasons for at
tending certain motion pictures. I dis
covered why We sometimes 80 wrong in
producing film that Is not o big sue
cess. Usually it is because we are out
of touch with the public and please
ourselves IN screen stories rather than
them.
II am told that practically every per-
son at Paramount active in the crea-
ton OF motion pictures Is encouraged
to visit his or her home town for sew
eral weeks each year and get away
from the motion picture atmosphere
to refresh their perspectives," Lowe con-
tinued.
This is an excellent idea, for it pro-
vides fresh outlook which is hard to
explain but that makes q person re-
turn to his work with new energy"

~ HARLIE CHAPLIN, as an au-
thor, is so painStaking and
meticulous that the book which
~ he started year ago Is still
only half finished and his next
motion picture production, it is said,
will have to wait until the book is
completed.
The first half of the book comprising
about $4,000 words, has just been SUBJ
mitted by Chaplin to a magazine, where
it will first be published in serial form.
The book is not exactly an auto
biography" Miss Roberts of the
Womans Home Companion stated re-
Gently, "but is a summary of the high
lights of Mr.. Chaplin's career. 1t is very
we'll written, although the author insists
that he is an 'unlettered man. The
first half of the book includes some
very striking incidents involving such
figures as Einstein, Lady Astor, the
Prince of Wales, Ramsay Macdonald,
BRAND, the Prince of Monaco, Bernard
Shaw, Lloyd George and others The
only motion picture star mentioned in
the book is Marlene Dietrich.
Mr.. Chaplin has memory like a
filing cabinet. Nothing escapes him.

dences of this in connection with the

commas or punctuation marks which
had been altered. Like Bernard Shaw,
