Shirley Temple, now making

her career.

Sam Katz, M-G-M executive right

thrilled-and says so-with the
prospect Of the greatest South Sea

the industry.
Both pictures have South Sea
Island backgrounds - "Typee,"
however, being entirely with ma
tive background and native play
ers. "Mutiny" is Frank Lloyd di-
rected. "Typee" is the work of a
newcomer to M-G-M, the young
Richard Thorpe.
Directors have risen to the
heights of their profession ere

almost contiguous island group

The result is rave from Sam

ways axiom that hooters have
their brains in their feet may
carry some weight in the Eastern
center of entertainment, but a
survey of Hollywood studios dis
proves this theory. 81, y
During the past several years
former dancers have made greater
progress in the city of films than
the devotees of other arts-and
this includes former stock players,
ex,stenographerS, singers and ex-
traS.
And the lesson learned is this:
No ex-dancer has failed on the
screen.
There now are close to 40 top
flight players whose professional
start was in some form of dancing.
Among these are Shirley Temple,
whose tapping feet led her to her
first picture role: Ruby Keeler.
