Call 1t a Day Opens Tomorrow At Earle

On Stage 7 at Warner Bros.
studio there stood a three-Story
English home, complete from eel
lar to garret.
John Hughes, art director, built
it for "Call It a Day." a Cosmo-
politan production relased by War
ner Bros, which comes to the
Earle Theater on Friday.
Being an American, Hughes
usually specializes in the American
scene. But he wasn't Stumped
when Director Archie Mayo asked
for a three-story house, Bond
Street, a barrister's office, gen.
tleman's walkup flat, a British
theater and fashionable street.
Hughes is never stumped. He
went over to the research depart
ment, looked at some pictures, and
before you can say Edward G..
Robinson he has a piece Of Eng
land right in Hollywood.
The rooms supposedly occupied
by Hunter, Miss Inescort, Olivia
de Havilland, Bonita Granville,
and Peter Willes are exactly the
type you will find in a modern,
middle-cIaSs English home.
There were two bathrooms-and
realistic bathrooms they were, not
too modern-a living room. fur
nished with charm, a dining room,
three bedrooms and a library.
Nearby was the kitchen.
On another stage, Hughes built
the barrister's office, occupied by
Hunter, who is a lawyer in the
film. Because English lawyers go
in for comfort and not for mod
ernity, there was nothing modern
about the office. It looked as
though it had been occupied by
seven generations Of Hunters.
The gentleman's Walkup flat
wasn't much to look at. It was
on one stage and the four flights
of stairs which led up to it were
on another. Apartments in Eng
land, Hughes found out, are COM
Portable but not luxurious. And
they always have a CRATE. You
couldn't build one and be honest
about it without putting in a
CRATE.

nent New York street was trans.
