Needed Lesson

The current wave of resentment
against certain motion pictures
has become a very serious thing.
Numerous church groups, banding
together, pledge themselves not to
attend theaters in which offensive
films are being shown. There
must be several million such
signed pledges in the United
States today.
Scarcely day passes that some
minister, rabbi or legal figure
doesn't let loose with a new blast
against indecency in the motion
picture. They're all on the band
wagon now, and there isn't going
to be much Of let-up until the
newspapers stop handing out pub
licity. It is amazing how quickly
a reSentment-wave dies when there
are no more pictures in the
papers.
Hollywood, however, needed this
lesson. Some of the pictures in
the last year or two went away
out Of line. Smut IS always power
full at the box office and those
films made . lot Of money. But
that didn't remove the curse. Be

cause of them, an entire industry
must now suffer.
The worst part of the entire
situation is that piouS objectors
never know when to stop. Given
enough encouragement, they will
have the picture producers putting
brasSieres on cows. Believe it or
not, I read the other day where
one group had banned Little
Miss Marker" which is certainly
one of the sweetest and most in
offensive pictures ever made.
Personally. I think this thing
has gone far enough. The
church groups have certainly
handed the film men terrific
scare, and it will be long time
before the picture makers step out
of line again. Thus, the victory
has been won.
Hounded indefinitely, Holly
wood will have to start turning
out pictures that nobody will go to
see. So it's time to give the in
dustry an even break-for the
good of all concerned.

sips worked themselves into q
dither over the news that the Mar
quis de la Falaise was going to
Paris instead Of Hollywood after
finishing his picture in 1ndo-
China.
The real facts will be letdown
to the sensation lovers. The mar
quis (Hank to his intimates)
makes regular trips to his home
land, and it is just about time
for another.
The distance to Paris from Indo'
China is shorter than from Holly

The marquis expects to finish his

Both are on sound stage "F"'

Macarthur calls Hecht "LubitSch."
They are having lots Of fun and
it's fun to watch them work. I'm

Hecht is sitting ON the floor, MS

gum. Macarthur Is sprawled

index finger he is twisting the

funny curl.

Macarthur twists hair they are

What's up? There's something
going on over there by the door.
Oh, it's katharine Hepburn. In a
brown suit with a brown tam and
green blouse. She's sunburned, not
tanned, but burned. Looks radiant,
though. She's here to watch Hecht
and Macarthur work. She walks
across the stage floor and says:
"Hello, everybody" But who's that

Wants to Speed
The drunk was fairly quiet un-
til the cab reached the vicinity
of Ninetieth Street. Then he be-
gan to bang the top of the cab
to get the drivers attention. The
latter man finally looked down.
What do you want" he
growled.
I wanna go fashter," returned
the stew "Hit that horse on the
head an make him go fashter." ."
The cabby reached out with his
whip and tapped the nag on the
dome. Nothing happened. The
horse plodded on exactly as be-
fore.
"Hey," howled the drunk,
didn't I tell you wanna go
faShter? Hit him on the back. -
Once more the whip went out,
and this time it touched old Dob
bin on the back. But to no avail.
The animal never changed its
pace.
The drunk peered up olearily.
~'ThaS a heluva horse" he
hiccoughed. But I'm the kinda
feller that never givesh up. Hit
him on the legs"
Out went the whip around the
horses legs. The result was ex'
actly the same as before. The
animal merely plodded on.
The cabby peered down through
the slot.
"You see," he told the fare, it's
no uses I've now hit him on the
head, the back and the legs. He
just won't go no faster"
The drunk muttered something
unintelligible. Then his face
frightened suddenly.
II gotta idea," he cried. We'll
try onesh more. Hit him in the
rear"
The cabby placed the whip be.

vehemently.

There Is . hum Of comment
among the electricians, props
and technicians. "Helen Hayes

extras" says an assistant direc-
tor. That's a hot one"
"If the girls are game to
work." says Hepburn, "yOu boys
ought to get in it, too" "That's
an idea," says Hecht.. Lets
do it," says Macarthur. How
about working as reporters?"
asks Hecht. 1--WE ought to
have eight or ten reporters in
this shot," "It's q DEAL" says
Macarthur. "We'n have to
shave" says Hecht. "Why nOt?"
responds Macarthur. The two
rise and walk across to a row Of
makeup tables. Shaving acces-
SOries are handed them and the
two begin shaving.
