The other day on the "O'Shaugh-

watched Director Richard Boles-
lawski "selr' scene to Jackie
Cooper. Jackie's mind was sup
posed to be poisoned against Wal
lace Berry and in this particular
scene he was just beginning to
realize that maybe he was wrong
maybe Wally was a swell guy
Jackie didn't know quite what to
do.
Look" said Boleslawski, sitting
down with Jackie, suppose you
were eating piece of apple pie
and Cora Sue Collins came along.
Right away you'd feel the polite
thing to do would be to give her
the pie. And you'd be embar-
raised because you already had
eaten some of it, Maybe, too, you'd
kind of wish she hadn't come
along until you had finished it..
Well, that's the way you're sup
posed to fele in this scene"

Ordinarily stars are considered
easy marks for sales talks. And
they are if you're only trying to

playing a scene differently than

manship.
Yet every successful director
must have such persuasive powers
and use them frequently. Each.
however, employs his own pet tao
tics.
While "Boley" brings food into
his sales talks, w. S. Van Dyke
uses funny stories.
Yesterday Van was having a
tough time getting Joan Crawford
to play a scene in "Gitter" the
way he wanted it. "I'll look snooty
If I play it that way and I don't
want to do that" Joan complained.
In Right Frame
"That reminds me of story"
the director retaliated, and told a
yarn-well. skip it. Joan howled.
"All right, let's get the scene,"
snapped Van Dyke. Camera! Ac-
ton! Remember what told you,

the way he wanted it before she
realized what she was doing.

CAPITOL

Joe E. Browns latest Warner
Bros. picture, "Alibi Ike" which
is scheduled as the feature attrac-
ton at the Capitol theater tomor-
row and Monday, is heralded as
the most hilarious film in which
the famous star has yet appeared.
"Aiibi Ike" is a big league bail
player, a crack pitcher and bat
ter whose average, contrary to
most twirlers, runs around the 400
marw. He never makes a play on
the field or off it without alibi-
ing.
Even when he falls desperately
in love with the sister of the cap
tain's wife, he alibis about it. She
happens to hear him making ex-
cuses for giving her an engage
ment ring, and turns him down
cold, which causes a series of
events as thrilling as they are lu-
dicrous.
A sequence showing Ike kidnap-
ed by a group of gamblers, from
whom he escapes in time to win
the final game in his pajamas, is
just one of the exciting and fun
ny incidents in the film.
The companion feature is "Stol-
en- Harmony" starring George
Raft, Grace Bradley and Ben Der.

Hollywood is wondering if maur-

in August is for the purpose of
marrying John Farrow, screen
writer, in the presence of her par

fact that she already is married.
She and Farrow went to Ireland
last summer for the avowed pur-
pose of being wed. But their plans
went awry when they were denied
official sanction by the Roman
Catholic Church because Farrow
has been divorced.
Since then, however, they are
