Got There by Waiting

jenkins, who is that same Cagney's best
friend, watched the people he knew go
out to Hollywood and achieve promt-
nence on the screen. Some OF them
stayed. Others went back to Broad
way. Jenkins continued to do . good
Job of waiting.
When Blessed Event" came to
Broadway, Allen Jenkins became q
person to the public and not just .
name on a program. He was known
in the trade. of course, as q good
workman, character player who could
be pretty well assured Of q comfort
able livelihood on the stage as long as
he wanted. Nothing sensational, per-
haps, unknown to the mass OF theater-
goers. but a person always considered
when producers started casting plays
Blessed Event" was q success and
jenkins was q success along with 1t.
His scene in the Office of the colum-
mist, played by Roger Pryor, in which
he was told, and very graphically. OF
what 1t means to burn" in the "hot
seat" of the big house." made jenkins
q marked man. When Warner Bros.
bought the play, jenkins went along
with It, When the picture was filmed
and became one Of the successes Of its
year, jenkins, too, found himself in
Hollywood to stay.
After all his waiting, Jenkins found
himself in what Damon Runyon's
guys and dolls" would call soft
spot He was cast in picture after
picture, and consolidated his position
as a valuable straight or comedy player.
Within the space Of few months he
played in II Am Fugitive From a
Chain Kang," "42nd Street." THE
Keyhole," "Rackety Rax," Employees
Entrance" Lawyer Man," Hard to
Handle" and Blonde Johnson" all of
which are already released. He Is still
to be seen in "The Silk Express" "The
Mayor of Hell" and THE Mind Read
er," his current picture. With Bless
ed Event" that makes q round dozen
pictures in which he has played fea-
tured roles within the past nine months.
After all of which, jenkins is more
firmly convinced than ever that the
bromide about everything coming to
him who waits, works. Nor is Jenkins
working toward stardom. He's waiting
for it.

Predicting a Bigger and
Better Picture Industry
Hollywood Now in State of Chaos, but 1t Is Ready
for Chanse-Hish Officials Cut All
Salaries Except Their Own.
By Mollie Merrick.

that they are helpless before the brains
Of that element. without the writers to
create the dialogue, the stories, the
acting personalities to make them and
the technical stats to perfect them and
without directors to carry out writer's
ideas, there is little left for producer
to do but sit in the front office and
, count his salary.
Out of the conclave and Producer
Harry Warmers refusal to stand by the
Academy Emergency Committees ruling
on return Of salary cuts comes the dra-
matte resignation OF Daryl Zanuck,
creative head Of Warmers Studio.
Daryl Zanuck, capable producer Of
pictures, may now produce on his own
with fine financial backing, his present
salary and so per cent ownership In the
new corporation which he will found.
He deserves this more than most Holly
wood producers, few Of whom work on
philanthropic or sincere basis.
Some amazing figures will presently
filter out of Hollywood and into public
prints. These figures will show such
dramatic conditions existing In the mo-
ton picture industry that even Repre-
sentative Sirovich will gasp for breath.
They will be presented by those very
brains which the motion picture indus
try has gathered from the four COP
ners of the earth and which they have
dignifled and authorized in the only way
paying them high salaries.
The organized writer's Of Hollywood,
out for blood, will do little journalism
on their own. They will expose produc-
ton figures which will be eye-openers.
They will reveal what overhead" really
means. And they will reveal that 80
per cent of production which goes to
executives and mystery" can't be saved
by cutting the wages Of the actors,
writer's, technicians and small employees.
The Hollywood horse, long kept In
control by producers, by the Hays or
ganization paid by producers to smooth
and settle difficulties, long fed by writ
ers and actors and small fry, is running
away. The schism between the produc-
ing and creating element Of this busi-
ness is under way. This final move to
standardize all salaries except those OBJ
tanned by executives In a desperate
gesture to retain the gilded legend they
have built about themselves will be the
initial move in an avalanche Of change
destined to sweep across the face Of
the motion picture industry and to wipe
1t clean of its present physical aspects.
When the dirt blows away-and I
mean that literally-there will be new
motion picture industry. 1t will begin
on more sane basis. It will have to.
And since there will not be another
1925" as Producer M. H. Aylesworth
says, there will probably not be a repe-
tition Of 1892 and 1888 for some time
to come, If at all.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April %.
"HE new Hollywood Is in its in
fancy today. The motion pic
ture of tomorrow-differently
i made, differently paid and DIFF
ferently executed by different
peoples on its way. Producers have
met for a week Of solemn conclave and
have failed to accomplish anything
substantial since their belated banding
together against one common foe
creative talents about to be neatly
foiled by that foe.
Hollywood's producers came together
for the first time in cinema history
when the wolf at their doors howled so
loudly that they were in imminent dam
ger Of having to let him in. Years Of
suspicion-not at all unfounded, since
many of these men have intimate
knowledge of each others business
methods due to association, obServa-
tion and experience-have taught them
to admit that their one common foe
was the creative talent Of the world
and they banded together to save costs
in motion picture making by regulating
control Of that talent to precisely suit
their own ends.
Out of those producer conferences
came no tales of magnificent gestures
on the part Of production heads. AL
though 1t has been seen that no other
lines of industry have executives paid
such fantastic sums as these motion
picture men, none Of them in conclave,
to save their industry, suggested per-
manent reduction of their tremendous
incomes as a fitting initial step In re-
ducing overhead costs. Rather did they
agree to found an artists service bu-
reau handled by men employed by them
and designed to regulate employment Of
all creative talent, not under long-term
contract, In the motion picture indus
try.
Col. Jason joys three-year contract
with Fox was bought out by producers
in order that he might head this bu-
reau. The first offer was made to Pat
Casey, who refused it on the ground
that the idea would not go over with
the creative personalities of Hollywood
To date the writer's have banded to-
gether against the Artists Service Bu-
reau; the directors have, in meeting,
voted against it; the sound technicians
and other technical experts have voted
1t down in a body; the actors are meet
ing with the same purpose in mind and
the agents have turned it down. Mass
refusal to cooperate on this ground
makes the Artists Service Bureau, as
created by the Hollywood producers, an
empty name.
Creative talent sees in this move the
first willy gesture toward creating an en-
tirely new wage scale on the part of
producers, who will thus evade cutting
their own emolument. Producers may
be collecting enormous sums for the
turning out of finished products, but the
creative element Of this village knows

 So what can a poor prison war 'den's daughter do about her boy friends? Surrounded by men, she still is as isolated from romance as if she were a lone castaway.
 The 'neighbors" are not the kind of chaps girls parents would care without having her seen with. And she can't ask any boys from the outside to drop in at the pris- on for a weekend. They might fear they would get no return ticket.
 Even should she be tempted, it really wouldn't be safe for her to become interested in a prisoner. He might be up for bigamy. Or inn agine her embarrassment at learn ing that he was serving time for shooting his sweetheart.
 Despite all these dangers, blonde Betty Grable takes a chance by starting romance with pris- oner in Hold Elm Jail,' the RKO Radio comedy at the Capitol thea tre Sunday, with Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey in the starring |roles. Love, she tells her warden father, Edgar Kennedy, laughs at locksteps, jeers at jails, and even applauds her becoming some mans ball-and-chain. Especially when the hero of the romance is a handsome star of the penitentiarys football tean
 Miss Grable isn't the only one to find romance in Hold Elm Jail, Edna May Oliver, who plays the warden's austere but tickling sis- ter, has her light moments of sen- timent. .
