Success Story?

Two interesting young men Of
Manhattan are MesSrS. Monte
PrOser and Carl Erbe. They
first met fifteen years ago when
Erbe was working in a camp in
the Far West. PrOSer, hungry,
his clothes in tatters, two cents
in his pocket, approached Erbe
and asked him to help him get
work in the camp. A month
later, bosom pals, they decided
to take to the open road. They
bummed all over the country
and got into many fights with
other hObOes until it occurred to
Proser that Erbe always man.
aged to get his man. Where
upon, he appointed himself man.
ager and together they invaded
mining and lumber camps where
for purses ranging from $5 to
as high as SIS Erbe would take
on any man of his size while
PrOser collected IN advance.
Both drifted to New York even
tually, seeking the bigger things
Of life. So PrOser became a press
agent-and Fighting Kid Erbe
became a press agent, too. The
friendship Is still firm, although
Proser. is now married to the
FolIies beauty, Julie Jenner,
now a member of the Life Be-
gins at $40" cast. Even at that,
you might call it a success story,
depending upon what you con-

Movie Cutter Is
Unsung Boss
Of FiImIond

Hail to the cutter, unsung
genius Of the motion picture
industry!
He's an artist, editor, critic
and destroyer, all rolled into one,
and he's saved more bad pictures,
ruined more good ones and let
the air out of more inflated egos
than anyone else in the business.
It's the tribute Of Alexander
Hall, Paramount director of Lit
tie Miss Marker" and other hits.
Hall used to be a cutter himself
and knows what he's talking
about.
Known officially by the more
dignified title of film editor, the
cutter on even the most success
full picture remains practically
anonymous to the public. You'll
have to look carefully among the
"credit shots" to find his name:
yet, says Hall, he's done some of
the most important work on the
productionS-"A picture is only
as good as its cutter"
Hes more than just a tech
nician," Hall declares. "He must
have q knowledge Of practi-
cally everything in the prOduc-
ti0n end of the industry.
"He must have q genuine
feeling for art, must know char
acter and situation, must have
q strong sense Of audience re-
action, and must possess a
painters feeling for light and
shade"
The cutter is the man who
pieces together the takes" that
are sent to him daily from the
developing room.
He may decide to use part Of
one and part of another, or per-
haps bits out of six or seven of
them to make up one complete
scene; and then he must insert
the closeups.
All that must be done in such
a way that the best work will
be preserved and the scene will
have space.
It is the director who decides
which "takes" will be printed; but
it's usually the cutter who chooses
what he thinks are the best parts
of each.
And among the players, the
cutter is perhaps the most feared
production official of all.
Not one Of them but reel off
a string of sad and humiliating
experiences at the hands of this
little god of the movies.
Frequently they complain that
he has "cut out my best scene" :"
and it's not unusual for an en-
tire part to be dropped in the
cutting room.
"The Face on the Cutting
Room Floor" has become a rue
full joke in the picture colony.
Halls cutting-room experience
has stood him in good stead in
his present directorial capacity.
Knowing the technical aspect of
film editing. he can fit them in
with his own conception of the
story, thereby keeping a unity
that many of the best of his
colleagues cannot maintain.
After a full day on the set
making his present picture, THE
Pursuit of Happiness" featuring
Francis Lederer, Joan Bennett,
Mary Boland and Charlie Rug
giles, he works in close coopera-
ton with his cutter, James
Smith,, in editing the "rushes."

All In Al Day
IMPERS0NATIoN
MARK HELLINGER

When you choose your
leading figures among the
pests Of the world, you can
not overlook the celebrity
impersonator. There are dog
gone few figures in the pub
lie eye who have not, at one
time or another, been i'm
personated by one of these
buns.
In many of the cases, the
wind-up is very embarrassing to
the celebrity. And, sometimes,
It's mighty costly. But I stum-
bled on a new case the other
night, and the ending was
vastly different from the usual
run. I take pleasure in report
ing it:
It all began when Paul Smiths
friends. started to comment on
his striking resemblance to a
certain celebrity who shall be
known as Arthur Winters in
this story. Smith wasn't a bad
guy; he had never done a wrong
thing in his life. And at first,
he was annoyed by the con-
tinued reference to his reSem-
blance to Arthur Winters.
But as time went by, he began
rather to enjoy it. He fell into
the habit of walking Broadway
with his coat collar up, and at
tempting to look as much as
possible like Winters. And he
had his thrill when he heard
squeals of delight from the
passersby.
There he goes! That's Arthur
Winters! Oh, boy! There he
goes!"
Signed Winters
Name
Pretty soon, he grew bold
enough to sign Winters name
for the autograph fans. Nobody
ever called him on it, and Paul
Smith began to have the sensa-
ton that he actually was Arthur
Winters. He began to feel that
he could go on like this indefi-
nitely, and that he could con-
tinue to get his thrill without
the SLIGHTEST bit of trouble,
And, perhaps, if he hadn't gone
too far, he might have been cor
rect. But success went to his
dome. And he pounced upon
the notion that, if he could sign
autograph books and get away
with it, he could most certainly
drop into a few cafes and get
away with the same signature.
His resemblance to Winters
must have been uncanny, be"
cause he made good. Moving
cautiously and picking his spots,
Paul Smith played his game well.
He would eat and drink to his
hearts content. When the check
rolled around. Smith would al
ways sign it. with a nonchalant
gesture, adding SIS to it for the
waiter-in pencil. Then, shak-
ing hands as a favor to everyone,
he would take his hat and dis.
appear.
Well, how long could such a
game continue? Smith must
have known that he would be
nailed sooner or later. but he
went right along Just the same.
And, In one direction, he was get
ting the break Of a lifetime.

Now breath has turned to dust, and blood to ashes
Where are you my dear my very dear?
Now more the sparkling green sea splashes,
But in its place the unconsoling tear.
And silent now the sanity sound of singing
Blessing all the days that went before.
Still and broken all the dreams that, winging
Blueward, rise to bless the heart more!
Oh, dear, my very dear, may this be dying?
And may this feel of darkness be the grave?
And may these tears be pitying angels crying
For something lost that angels could not save?
And are their tears enough to make sea

Mr.. Winters, 1t seems, was al
so a bit of a rounder. He would
do the town of his own accord,
winding up in bed after nights
spree without the slightest
knowledge of where he had gone
or how he had reached home.
He, too, would sign tabs. And
when he was confronted with
them, he would pay without
question. If his signature didn't
look right he charged it up to
the fact that he was plenty
Stewed. What else could he do?
A celebrity can't squawk too

All in all, then, Paul Smith
was getting tremendous
break. Any night might be
his laSt-but he was having
a glorious time waiting for it.
For some two months, every
thing marched along in perfect
order. And then, after a glori-
GUS night in one of the smaller
clubs in lower New York, Mr..
Paul Smith called for his
check. It came to slightly less
than 5000 and the phony
grinned as he signed it and
added $40 for the waiter. in
pencil. He wrote out Arthur
Winters" in big, bold letters
and finished his drink, pre-
paratory to leaving.
In a moment, the proprietor
of the place was sitting beside
him.

agreeably. you've been away,
I take it."
"Yes," replied Smith patron
izingly, "I've been away for
quite some time. We celebrities
have to get around, you know.
I never know when I'll be
called away again"
The boss nodded.
"I understand" he said, "and
