HOLLYWOOD, Mach 23.-One
of the most unusual circum-
stances exists at Columbia that
you ever heard tell of. When their
ace director, Frank Capra, makes
a picture, the company is put def
nitely in the black. Last year when
he was i'll for months and didn't
make as many epics as scheduled,
the company collapsed into the
red. In other words, his genius is
so well known that to buy one
Capra picture Gall sure money
makers) you have to sign yourself
up for the entire other output OF
Columbia epics.
Hear tell that Doris Dudley, a
New RKO contractee, has a type
of temperament that puts Katil-
arine Hepburn's eccentricities in
the shade. But then she's young,
talented, and beautiful. so I guess
all can be forgiven.
Juanita Hansen-re m mber

movement to rehahilitate actors

Spain has broken down and de
cided to admit the Carole Lom

"Rhumba." It's been banned now
for months for no apparent rea
son.
Now that universal has been
sold down the river, don't be in
the least surprised if the budding
genius of the lot, Junior Laemmle
moves right over to M. G. M. as
a producer with the Irving Thai
berg unit, you see, got his original
break at Universal so it's a kind
of turn-around-i -fair-play Situa
tion. Incidentally with the sale OF
the studio a large group OF
Laemmle relatives were not kept
on by the concern but knowing
Uncle Carl Laemmle's generosity
(having kept them on for years
now through the kindness Of his
heart) he will probably pay them
off it seems like years since
we've announced Mary Brian en-
gagged to anybody. Nevertheless at
the moment it looks very much
like she might give her SpiniSter-
hood back to the Indians and
rush to a justice Of the peace with
Cary Grant.

I don't advocate violence or even
unnecessary disturbances during
performance although the Kansas
City incident served to squelch at
least one rowdy. Since black looks
and polite admonitionS are abso-
lutely futile I suggest the '9Order Of

ington Friday afternoon Show-offs.
It would be conferred by merely
leading the offenders to the open
air, preferably by uniformed
policeman. I understand the the
atsrs are considering it.
CONGRATULATE BOB
Congratulations to Bob Consi-
dine, the Herald's o. Henry and
baseball expert who has q check
for $1,000 from warner Bros. for
two of his "Uncle Sans Children"
stories, with the picture company
optioning 16 more.
This story purchase was made
by Jack Warner direct, without
the intervention of literary agents
or solicitation by the author. It
just happened that Executive
Warner was in Washington at the
time the stories were running in
the Washington Herald. He liked
them, told his story department
to get busy and the check is the
result.
LUNTS FLOODED OUT
The Lunts and idiots Delight"
were flooded out of Pittsburgh.
Although the last three perform
ances had been sold out the river
waters were up to the Nixon The
ater doors and there was a danger
that the costly production would
be damaged.
The Theater Guild decided to
call off the Friday night and
Saturday performances and $500
will be refunded. Idiots Delight"
will open in New York tomorrow
night.
BY the way, although the new
Alfred Lunt-Lynn Fontanne show
played to $27,069, or capacity at
the National Theater, it was not
a box-office record at $3.50 top.
The high mark is $30,027 an

SCORNS CLOSE-UPS
Wise Irwin S. Cobb scornS close
ups in "Everybody's Old Man"
and accordingly makes a splendid
impression in his first starring
feature. The story is incredulous
in points s-just as it was when
George Arliss did it as "The
Working Man"-but is full Of
homely logic and appealing SEN
timent and most audiences will
like it, even if it couldn't really
happen.
It is easy to name quite a few
stage headliners who stumbled in
Hollywood because they insisted on
close-ups when their huge screen
features were anything but orna-
mental. Actor Cobb avoids similar
mistakes. He is not an Adonis but
he can speak lines expressively and
he surely belongs to the natural
school of emotional expression.
There ought to be a place for him
on the screen, if stories can be
found to fit his talents.
They tell me that William S.
Hart is slated for a screen come
back because he has finally con.
sented to play straight character
roles for R-K-O. Previously sugges-
tions that he rturn to his pubic

WPA Jobs Sus-
pended IN Miss.
For Cotton Picking

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 26-(ANP)
Suspension of all WPA projects
in the Mississippi delta has been or
dered by Wayne Alliston, State
WPA d~irectOr, to provide cotton
pickers for distressed plantation
owners after planters complained
that federal projects used workers
ordinarily available for picking
cotton.
Because of a ~scarity of labor,
police in the section have been pa
trolling Negro sections of small
towns and herding all unemployed
persons into trucks where they are
carried to the plantations and
forced to pick cotton. Thase who
refuse to go arc jailed as wa
grants"
However, the action of Alliston
is CONTRARY to a ruling of the WPA
at Washington which declared the
Mississippi director had not been
authorized to drop federal project
workers not suited for cotton pick
ing.
At the nations capitol Corning
ton Gill, acting administrator, en-
phasized that "the Works Progress
Administration is not an employ
ment exchange nor a placement
service, nor will it be a party ar
forcing workers to accept
sub-standard wages"
