Script Calls for Heat as

HOLLYWOOD, April 6.-Trying

chartered and their breath steamed
on the frigid air, was the toughest
acting assignment handed 1000 ex-
tras who took part in the open air
crowd scenes of B. and DIS The
Runaway Queen" starring Ann
Neagle and scheduled for release
through United Artists. For al
though the script read good old
summertime, and the shooting
schedule read, fire away!"-the
mercury read practically nothing at
all.
A ring Of braziers was provided
out Of camera range and between
shots the extras crowded eagerly
around them, muff1ed up to their
eyes in scarves and overcoatS that

is Whites Scandals" But it turns
out to be Elmer White, and Elmer
(Ned Sparks turns out to be not
only theater manager, but mayor,
police and politician of the town.
The boy and girl are taken to New
York for Mr.. Whites new show and
become distinct hits. But the mud
of Broadway gets splashed around
a bit and danger looms when each
falls for another. But all comes out
in the wash.
The dancing of Eleanor Powell is
a highlight of the show. She does
everything with her feet and the
difficult twirl rhythm is exceptional.
The comedy of Sparks. Edwards
and Roberti keeps the show from
going sour although there doesn't
seem to be any chance of that with
such music and girls. The choral
routines are not overdone as has
been the case in some recent must
Gals. and are of the satisfying
George White brand
Jackie Green, youthful imperSon-
ator, shines in the stage offering
with his deft portrayals of Joe Pen
ner. George Jessel. George Arliss,
Eddie Cantor, AL Jolson and Jimmie
Ourante. The changes are made
right on the stage and the resem-
blances are remarkable.
The soft shoe dancing of the
White, Lee and Sue act is only eX-
ceeded by the acrobatics of Miss
LYDIA Sue who shows great promise
in her solo numbers.
Others on the bill include Tenkai
and Okinu, Oriental magicians;
the Three Radio Rogues, local radio
boys, whose offering includes several
snappy tunes sung via rlicrophone:
Brems Fitz and the Murphy
Brothers in an act of song and slap
stick which has its moments, and
Bells Hawaiian Follies," which
closes the show with hula and
shimmy dancing and some very
good Hawaiian music.

Fields at the wheel of the beat
trying to steer it. He makes a
comedy riot out of this simple scene
and his every appearance in mis-
sissippi" is one comedy triumph
after another.
Crosby is cast as Tom Grayson
Of Boston who goes to the Old
South to court and wed Elvira
Rumford, the proud and naughty
daughter of Gen. Rumford of Mag
nolia Plantation. .
Tom sees no reason why he
should fight duel with another
sutton of Elvira whom he had never
seen before. In the eyes of Elvira
Gail Patrick and Gen. Rumford
Claude Gillingwater) Tom is a
coward, but in the eyes of Lucy
Rumford. youngest daughter of the
general, he is different and a fine
man.
Tom seeks refuge on the show
boat of Commodore Jackson and
becomes a member of the troupe
OF course he is singer.
Jackson decides to make a bad
man and killer out of Tom and
then the trouble and the fun starts.
In these scenes, Crosby and Fields
are at their best. Crosby finds time
to sing many songs.
Among the hits are Soon, -

American Type Of Love Making
Upheld by CIaudette Colbert

can girl out of a thousand has the
proper talent for receiving demon
STATIONS of affection, whereas, the
French girl, inheriting a skill from
ancient ancestry and precedent,
knows just how far to go.
American girls, according to Boy
er, for lack of experience and prec-
edent, are either too backward or
entirely too forward.
Replied Miss Colbert:
"Frenchmen do their wooing most
artfully, but alas, they all do it
alike. Americans on the other hand,
with no precedents to live up to. are
distinctive, personable and different
in their methods of approach and
in demonstrating their devotion. No
two Americans have the same line
and one is always assured. at least,
of variation and novelty"

Producers Hurry to Sign
Top-NotCh Men for
Long Periods.

Hollywood has suddenly awakened
to the fact that it is facing fam
inc in first line directors, and there
is a mad scramble among the vari-
GUS studios to place the various top
notchers under long term contracts.
Ranks of the directors were deci-
mated when talkies first came in,
many of the first line, producers of
silent epics finding themselves ut
terly unable to cope with dialogue.
A few recruits were drafted from
the stage, but there has been a
growing shortage of directors for
several years which now, with Eng
land grabbing of number of first
class men from Hollywood, has be-
come acute.
Fox Film is meeting the threat
Of a director drought by lining up
a half dozen of its bright young
men for promotion. They are to be
given chance to direct program
pictures. If they make good they
will be promoted to the first rank
with great rapidity.
Two assistant directors, two writ
ers, an art director and a film cut
ter or editor, have been designated
for promotion and are now under
serious consideration.
On their first pictures they will
be teamed-that is, an assistant di-
rector and the art director will CO.
direct a film; the other assistant
and writer will be paired, and the
second writer and the film editor
will work together.
If the first experiment is a suc-
cess, each man will get a chance
to direct program picture on hi
own. If he makes good on that he'll
get a crack at feature.
Promotions from the ranks in the
past have been rare, and this is
the first concerted move for a stu
do to develop its own directing
talent.

ty Chairman" which I thought was
one of his weak pictures. The new
film is a natural for Will and it is
an eccentric comedy triumph for
Slim Summerville. This is Sims
main effort to date at being a sue
cessful comedian and he comes
mighty near to stealing the picture
but Will is such an artist that he
always comes out the winner.
The hog calling scene happens
when Will, as a small town editor,
decides to break up a campaign pic

food but the colonel decides to make

Hundreds of hogs and pigs are on

EDUCATION AND CRIME
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

Conflicting religious creeds are
keeping spiritual education out
Of the schools. The sects leave
that work to our churches; but
the churches are not doing that
work--eXcept feebly. Each sect
believes in a union and consoli-
dation of all the churches; but
each sect wants it's creed adopt
ed by the united, consolidated
church.
When my mother was a young
woman she was a school teacher
on the wild and isolated plains
of the Middle West, where bands
Of Indians and herds Of buffaloes
occasionally circled the school
house. She opened her school
every morning with a prayer, a
reading from the Bible and the
singing of q hymn. Objection to
that practice was made.
The school committee sent
word to my mother that she must
cease holding religious exercises
in her schooroom. Ny mother
replied. when you desire spiri-
tual instruction kept out Of the
schoolroom, you can send some
one here to take my place. As
long as l remain, | shall continue
to give my pupils instruction in
things spiritual. Ny mother
never heard any more about the
matter.
Today we are so divided and
unco-ordinated spiritually with
our two-hundred religious demo
limitations, that we can not come
to agreement on any one plan
Of teaching spiritual truths. We
let the school authorities select
the arithmetics, grammars, geoge-
raphieS ct cetera. We even lot
them discard textbooks without
legitimate reason, and compel
parents and guardians to buy
new ones. But when it comes to
the training of character there
seems to be no meeting ground
Would it not seem that there
