McCreo Turns
Down Offer
To Stor
BY WALLACE x. RAWLES
International News Service Staff
Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD. Feb. 13 U.N.sJ.
IN picture hangs on a star. When
the picture is bad, the star is
washed Alp.' A leading man,
such as I am, hangs onto a pic
ture. If the picture isn't any good
the public says: It's too bad
about the picture, but it isn't Nc
Crea's fault. He did the best he
could"
Thus, Joel McCrea, handsome
young actor, explained today why
he had declined to become one Of
the galaxy of stars at the Para
mount studio.
The studio five years ago COM
menced to groom" McCrea to be
a star. He turned down the idea.
"I've never wanted to have star
rating" McCrea said, because I
dislike the responsibility. don't
mean by this that I have not GER
tain responsibilities to shoulder
but frankly, because the star al
ways has to make good pictures.
AS a leading man instead of star
1 may not make so much money
but I'll stay in pictures a lot
longer. Stars are made very
rapidly, and their finish on the
screen often is just as rapid"
McCrea'S development has been
steady since he obtained q small
contract at the RKO-Radio Studio
seven .'earS ago. But he has ap-
peared with most of the feminine
stars of the screen and many Of
them have asked that he again be
assigned to play with them in pic
lures.
He has been leading man for
Evelyn Brent, Constance Bennett,
Dorothy Mackaill. Miriam Hop
kins, Kay Francis, Irene Dunno,
Claudette Colbert, Joan Bennett,
Merle Oberon and Barbara Stan
wyck.
Producers are insisting that he
be co-starred with Miss Stanwyck
in a series Of pictures, but McCrea
has baked.
"Ill be content just to be her
leading man. Let her have the
stellar billing" he said.
This attitude is in sharp con-
trast to that Of many Hollywood
celebrities, many of whom COM
plain bitterly and spend sleepless
nights if the co-star'S name is
listed in larger lights on theater
marques or in larger type in news
paper advertisements.
McCrea resides quietly with his
wife, Frances Dee, in Beverly Hills.
Their hobby is a 1,000-acre cattle
ranch 80 miles from Hollywood.
"And I don't have to work in
pictures to support the ranch, "
McCrea said. 'It pays its own
way"

What really irks Editor
Atkinson, as spokesman for
the Gaumont- British inter-
ests, is that the Hollywood
product and stars completely
outclass in box-office power
in England their domestic
crop of screen celebrities.
Just glance at the list of the

ISH EXHIBITORS.

and Jessie Matthews in the
TEN BEST list. There must
indeed be quite a few
morons in England. Motion
Picture Herald's Lon d o n
representative, Bruce Allan,
was in charge of this poll
of British exhibitors.
THE ERA studiously ig-
nores the fact that British
exhibitors are compelled to
use a certain percentage of
what they call quota pic
lures" In other words
hastily made trash, whose
principal purpose is to re-
strict the booking of Amer
ican features since the Eng
lish exhibitors, by law, must
book this screen tripe in
order to get the superior
Hollywood celluloid.
Neither does THE ERA
care to notice that Charles
Laughton's "Private Life Of
Henry VIII" made more
money in England for Alex
ander Korda's company than
any picture release, before
or since, in that territory.
Most GOOD British-mads
pictures reach the American
market, and, contrary to the
ERA'S bleat, prosper here.
American audiences refuse
to accept Sonnie Hale as a
comedian, nor the "Charley's
Aunt" musty and outmoded
type of farce story which
British studios seem to pre-
fer. Neither can Twicken-
ham restore to popularity
the broken-down and passe
American stars who have
outlived their Hollywood
usefulness, but are eagerly
grasped for British pictures.
The best picture depicting
English life that has ever
reached the screen was made
in Hollywood-Noel Cow
ards "Cavalcade." Soon

A Sinking Ship?

1t is rather late for any European
power to warn interventionists to cease
their meddling in Spain. Premier Blum
nevertheless, has found it advisable once
again to admonish those whom it may
concern that they are fishing in perilous
waters. Aroused by rebel successes at
Malaga and along the Madrid Valencia
road, the French government is making
an eleventh-hour effort, though hardly
a promising one, to block further Fascist
aid to the insurgents. In a speech to the
Socialist National Council at Paris, M.
Blum declared that the French will not
tolerate "open Intervention" in the
Spanish strife.
What the premier hopes to accomplish
by this belated pronouncement is far
from clear. 1t may be only domestic
political gesture-to pacify his radical
supporters, especially labor, who have
become increasingly resentful of Frances
Italo-German support. M. Blum insists
vehemently upon establishment of in
ternational control for suppression Of
contraband traffic with Spain. If such
control is impossible and war sinews
continue to pour into the country, France
will know how to act" She will oppose
anything that strikes blow "at the in
tegrity of her soil or her signature" By
signature. the premier apparently refers

Deceit.

Bret Harte probably never desired to
be remembered particularly for his Plain
Language from Truthful James" He
wrote many other works which he prob
ably would have preferred for immor-
tality. But when the final account of
his effort is cast, 1t is likely that these
lines will be found to have been most
durably popular:
Which wish to remark
And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heathen Chinee Is peculiar.
Millions Of Americans have preserved
the rhyme In mind from childhood on
ward through maturity. The music of it
makes it easy to recall, and the sense of
it is comprehensive enough to apply in
uncounted numbers of instances common
IN human experience. People instinc-
lively hate deceit and are glad to possess
an alliterative pattern for the expression
of their critical attitude toward it. The
reference to immigrant Cinnamon long
ago ceased to have any special signifi-
canoe. For more than sixty years, the
quotation has been applied to takers and
frauds Of every description.

alities of the two most prominent Ameri-
can labor leaders. But as one phase OF
the A. F. of L.-C. I. o. dispute involves
diScrediting of leadership, attacks on
Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Green as individuals
are not surprising. Mr.. Lewis, as an
official of the United Mine Workers, is
already under suspension from the
American Federation of Labor because
of his activities in connection with the
Committee for Industrial Organization.
Some of the United Mine Workers lead
ers have been fairly itching to oust Mr..
Green from their union as reprisal. The
loss of his union card would be humiliat-
ing to Mr.. Green, though it would not
jeopardize his eligibility in the A. F. OF
L. He has been made a member of the
Musicians Union and has been invited
to join others.
AS punishment for his outspoken and
highly critical comment following set
tlement of the automobile strike, in
which he characterized that settlement
as complete surrender" of the auto
mobile unions major demands, the Pol
ers has now set in motion a resolution
expelling Mr.. Green for "gratuitous,
insulting, anti-union, Strike-breaking
statements" which amounted to treason
and betrayal of labor" Mr.. Green's
prompt response is to promise fight
before he is ousted, to defend his right
of free speech and to make solemn ref
erences to "a type of Hitlerism" under
which such reprisals are to be expected.
The episode is colorful, but relatively
unimportant. Mr.. Green and MIR. Lewis
reached the parting of the ways some
time since. Mr.. Green's A. F. of L. is
concerned now with preventing itself
from being swallowed, body, book and
hymnbook, too," by Mr.. Lewis c. I. 0.
1t becomes a part OF the new laoor game
for Mr.. Green to pooh pooh any gains
by the c. I. o. and for the c. I. o. to
picture Mr.. Green as traitor to the
labor movement.
These various moves are taking place
under the watchful eyes Of q public,
standing by as referee, which is yet to
make its decision. Such wasteful strikes
as the recent tie-up in General Motors,
raising issues which should be settled
before and not after the resort to illegal
sit-downs, are not destined to win popu-
lar support or approval. If the trans
fer Of the c. I. o. offensive from the au-
tomobile to the steel industry is marked
by similar methods, Mr.. Lewis and the
c. I. o. stand to lose about as much as
they could expect to gain. Both Mr..
Lewis and Mr.. Green appreciate the
value of q favorable public sentiment.
Without that support, neither side can
expect material gain.

suffering, and which they can see and
even feel. Puru was never created. The
natives have no term for eternal but
they say that Puru existed before all
things visible by them existed
'Puru blew into the clouds and thus
caused the first rain to fall on earth,
which later brought forth plants. ami
mails and even men. Due to the activities
of Achacatu, men refused to recognize
the great. alternating Puru. They were
wicked and became the allies of the evil
deity against the supreme, benevolent
deity So Puru finally determined to
destroy them. He sent great food over
the earth. but the envious Achacatu took
from among his worshipers man and
a woman and hid them in the stomach
Of dolphin, from which they crawled
after the recession of the waters The
disaster which had befallen them made
them recognize the power of Puru. They
now made him offerings of fruit and Of
feathers of the guacamayo. with which
they adorned their huts in order to
enjoy his sight.
After short time a new generation
was born that feared the great Puru.
The envious Achacatu then fashioned a
large, terrible snake that was to eat
them up. But Cuisiabirri, the fire, took
up the battle against the snake and
killed it with stroke of his fire. The
dead snake rotted and worms formed in
its flesh. 1t was from these worms that
the great enemies of the SalivaS, the
CaribS, were born. They drove the
SalivaS from their ancient homeland on
the Orinoco. The SalivaS, it may be
noted, do not think that all animals
lost their lives in the flood. In fact,
the flood myth does not speak about the
animals at ALL
Childbirth among these Indians, DR..
Walde-Waldegg reports, is very hard
on the father This is due to the belief
that while the body of the newborn
is derived from the mother, the soul
comes from the father. A portion of his
soul has been taken away by the birth
OF the baby and he requires eight full
days and nights to recover. The birth
OF twins is considered the greatest of
misfortunes. The father has only one
soul, and when two are born at the
same time he has to suffer double loss,
so severe that 1t might well cause his
death. He infers, therefore, that it is
his wife's fault. She must deliberately
have set out to kill him in order to be
free to marry some other man. AS a
punishment she is given a frightful
beating the instant the children are born
and then she Is forced to kill one of
them in order to restore her husbands S

Says DR.. Walde-W -Waldegg: when I
asked If similar loss does not occur
if mans wife bears several children in
succession-say one every two years.
was answered, Yes. that is so, but the
father then is not in danger of losing
his life, for the wound caused in his
soul through the split occasioned by
the birth of one child has time to heal
up before the birth of the next. A strong
and robust soul can keep on splitting
indefinitely without endangering mans
life If a sufficient interval between births
gives time for healing"
