solons of Capitol Hill. Also it has
woven into the narrative some
scenes of the recent Bonus Army
incendiarism.
If you are up on your fiction,
you know that Merry Co Round"
was a collection of bright episodes
and anecdotes about the great and
those who hope to be famous. The
picture merely retains the title
and offers a connected screen
story. Congress can cause plenty
of annoyance if the celluloid
should happen to cause high
blood pressure with just one of
the influential.
Going back to last spring,
Washington lost the opening of
"Of Thee I Sing" for much the
same reason. The producers were
afraid to open it here while Con-
gresS was in session. Present
plans are to show it around
Christmas time. "Of Thee I Sing"
makes the French Embassy mad
but nothing came of the official
protest over the Pulitzer prize
satire with music. 1t pokeS plenty
of fun at America too, but to
date has escaped governmental
CenSoring.

ArliSs is the supreme actor, while

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Sept. ~.
A personality to be reckoned with
that is what Hollywood said OF
Katharine Hepburn after the pre-
view of her first picture, Bill OF
Divorcement." Now the eccentric
young actress (she wears overalls
and things around the Studio) is
being cast opposite Joel McCrea
in Three Came Unarmed."
This was decided yesterday
when RKO received her cabled
consent from Berlin. Miss Hep
burn, despite her status as a film
newcomer, wrote her contract
pretty much to suit herself. She
insiStNJ upon certain time off
each year to allow her to do
play-and RKO feared the new
picture might interfere with her
stage plans.
Fortunately, the November
starting date of Three Came Un-
armed" still will enable the
actress to appear on Broadway
during the current season.
This picture is from the novel
of E. Arnot Robertson and deals
with the sudden transplanting of
the children of missionary from
semi-barbaric environment into
the midst of sophisticated London
life.
With no suitable starring
vehicle yet discovered for Joel Nc
Crea, he and Miss Hepburn proba-
bly, will be co-featured in the film.

R. C. Sheriff., who wrote
Journeys End" is going to col
lege at oxford. The war baked
him in his youth. Meanwhile,
Universal is again postponing
The Road Back" postwar novel
which Sheriff recently came over
here to adapt for the screen.
This picture will not go into pro-
duction until James Whole has
finished directing the next Boris
Karloff story. That means Jan
uary or later.
Warner Brothers is carrying a
torch because Mike LeVee, Mary
Pickford'S business manager, ad-
mits he would like to get the
embattled James Cagney for
Mary's leading man. Not so long
ago, Mr.. Levee, then at Para
mount, was equally torched be-
cause Warmers had just singled
William Powell, Kay Francis and

nose.

Below Par Farrell

One of the departments friends
inquiries in a note how come you
left out Charlie Farrell'S "Lilliom"
in any list Of film garbage. A
mere oversight. 1t ought to be
included. It is easy to recall
that Charlie Farrell'S father saw
this picture at the Fox and inn
mediately suspected Hollywood
plot to ruin his famous son. This
was a picture where the studio
got all tangled up with fact and
fantasy. But I wouldn't do Eva
LeGallienne an injustice by men
tioning this fact without adding
that the footlight "Lilliom" Of
fered by her company is worth
every minute of your time. 1t
will be at the National next week.

Was Good Waiter

w ~ SNN
But the Dutchman always
held my interest, anyway. In
the first place, he was a good
waiter. And when you find a
good waiter Utopia can't be far
off.
I liked him mainly because
he had the happy faculty of
being able to anticipate my
wants. Before 1 realized that
I needed more butter he would
.>e on his way for it. Before I
got an idea that chilli sauce
would be just right he had it
1T the table. And, sometimes,
before I thought of the check,
lie had it on the table.
He was always conSiderate.
He remembered names well,
and, even though his German
accent was so thick that you
could hardly understand your
own name, it was a pleasure
to hear that cultural voice
murmur it.
But it was only recently that
I began to watch the man
more closely. I took note of
his every action, for the SIM
pie reason that 1 was inter
ested.
He had a very studied walk.
BY that mean that he walked
with an ease and swing that
was too graceful to be natural
for such a big man..
Then, too, he had gestures.
And when he bowed you would
think of some stage star, or
duke-or perhaps Lowell Sher-
man.
At any rate. the Dutchman
had something. Above all, he
had me guessing.
Now I had been frequenting
that place since before The
Dutchman had started to work
there. and. strangely enough. I
was on good terms with the pro-
prietor.
So one night I called him
over.
Max" I said, "who is The
Dutchman? There's something
strange about the man. He
wasn't always a waiter, was
he?"
Max laughed.
Lord. no." he said. "The
Dutchman has been a bit more
elevated in his day than he is
now. In fact, he has already
hit the heights and the chutes."
Travelling Actor
He told me the story. The
Dutchman had been born in
Germany of substantial folk.
They belonged to a troupe of
travelling actors. Every day
they would pitch a tent on the
outskirts of a town or village
and give a performance. At
night they would move on to
the next town. And so on.
At the tender age of II
months The Dutchman palyed
the part of baby in one of
the shows. Max assured me
that he played it to perfection.
That is. except for one thing.
During a certain line, he was
supposed to cry. Sometimes he
wouldn't. In those cases his
cue was a pinch. 1t never
failed.
He grew up with theatrical
blood in his veins. The kid could
remember his lines long before
he could remember the answer
to one and one.
When he reached adolescence,
his parents sent him to a Berlin
drama school. The kid turned
out to be the nuts.
After graduation, he went into
stock company work and trav-
eled all over Europe. And it
didn't take him long to dis
cover that he had another gift.
He was a linguist. He picked
up Russian, Yiddish, Italian,
Spanish and French as though

career. he was called back to
Berlin by great producer. He
was given a small part in one
of the big produc cvionS, and his
fame and fortune were assured.
It was then that The Dutch
man began to hear rumorS about
Hollywood. That was back in
1925. when John Gilbert was
Clark Gable and Mae Murray
was Greta Carlo. So over he
came.
Cot Job As Extra
But, all too soon, he found
that Hollywood wasn't an
actors paradise. Somehow,
they didn't want actors, so far
as he could see. They wanted
young faces, pretty faces. They
wanted pretty legs and gor-
geous, empty expressions. But
actors? Actors? Oh, those
fellows could be found in New
York.
The Dutchman refused to
give up. He stayed in Holly
wood three long years. Some
times he got a job in mob
scenes as an extra. Sometimes
he didn't. He barely managed
to keep alive, and was all set
to give up when the big break
came.
1t happened in 1928.
A film mogul phoned him
one day and asked him to
come to the studio. The
Dutchman went there with his
heart in his throat.
80" said the executive,
after the first handshake,
you can't speak American
well, can you?"
The Dutchman admitted that
English was the one language
he couldn't master. He had
tried again and again, but
somehow. the tones didn't come
easy to his deep voice.
The executive couldn't speak
the language either. But that
is beside the point.
The producer told The
Dutchman that he had just
completed a tour of Europe,
and that he had heard good
reports of him. In Berlin, the
mogul continued, theatergoers
believed that The Dutchman
was one of the biggest screen
stars in America, and were
wondering how long it would
be before his first picture
crossed the Atlantic.
The Dutchman fairly glowed
with pride. In the end, after
much hemming and having,
the producer finally got down
to definite terms. The Dutch
man was to get $3.50 week
for the first year, with an
option of renewal at $500 at
the expiration of that time.
When he left the office, he
was walking on air. He was
to return in two days to sign
the contract.
The proprietor stopped. He
looked at me.
Contract Unsigned
THAT contract was never
signed" he went on. Within
a week. The Dutchman was on
his way back to New York. He
was heartbroken. The contract
was a thing of the past and
the world had crashed around
his ears"
But why?" I asked. You
told me that"
Just then, The Dutchman's
voice broke in from a corner
of the room. 1t sounded like
thunder far away. Or the
friendly growl of a dog that
wants to play. I listened to
that strange voice and that ter
rible accent. And I didn't need
the proprietor'S reasons as to
why that contract was never
signed. I knew.
Before the poor guy had had
chance to make his first
silent picture. he became vic
