BACK NICHOLAS

LONDON, April 16 QN.S0.
A stern demand on King Carol to
rescind his order exiting his
brother, former Prince Nicholas,
from Rumania for having married
a commoner was reported today
in the London Daily Telegraph.
The demand was allegedly
served upon the Rumanian king
by General Cantacuzenu, leader
of Rumania's Fascist group, the
Iron Guard, which has befriended
Nicholas throughout his recent
ordeal.
Bucharest, the capital city, was
asserted to be passing through
tense hours of anxiety, due to the
violent tone assumed by General
Cantacuzenu in his attack on King
Carol.

Iron Guard leaders we're re-
ported to have read secret letters
at their meeting today, in which
ex-Prince Nicholas allegedly de-
scribed how he had received from
his brother, King Carol, an ulti-
matum to leave his native country
within "a hours.
The exile order followed upon
a crown council decree directing
that Nicholas was no longer a
member of the royal family" and
that for his marriage he was
stripped of all his royal privileges
as well.
Nicholas, reputedly short Of
funds, was said to be chiefly wor-
ried about his wife and their
four-year-old son, Peter. If the

1ne Adventures OF Marco Polo. -
Samuel Goldwyn, the fabulou fellow
producing the film, has surrounded
Cooper with bunch Of elephants,
camels, ponies, ducks, chickens, 800
Chinese extras and a miscellany of
other items. All of them will be in
the picture if the heat does not kill
them or If the film does not spontane-
ously combust After several hours
spent with Cooper, Ernest Truck, the
Chinese and the animals, we should
not be surprised at either eventuality
or both.
Out in that dusty canyon, trimmed
by some terribly sunburned mountains
(you can't smoke, it's so dry), the
offense of Marco Polo and the sun is
compounded, so far as Cooper is con-
cerned, by the wardrobe department
He is forced to wear tights, a heavy
jerkin of leather. a leather hat which
looks something like Robin Hood, and
carries various heavy burdens ranging
from merchandise to Truck.
Cooper takes it all with an apostolic
patience. No lesser variety would do.
Elephants, camels, chickens, ducks are
more or less wayward in their acting
and the l10-degree temperature does
not make them heedful of the direc-
tors shouts.
The scene they are shooting is the
unending procession through the west
gate of thirteenth century Peking. 1t
has to be shot so many times you wish
there was a phone handy so you could
instruct your broker to plunge on
celluloid.
The set is a fabulous thing. 1t is
the ancient west gate and the street
therefrom leading to the temple. We
can't remember whether it is authentic
thirteenth century. but Johnny Miles
OF the GoldWyn press department says
it is. 1t looks it. And it smells
authentic with a camel attacking one
nostril and melting jerked pork and
sausages being unpleasant on the other
side of ones nose. The pork and
sausages-and the canel-are melting
because there is nothing else to do in
that sun.
THERE is no questioning the au-
thenticity of the Chinese extras.
They are so Chinese that the instruc-
tions coming from the loud speaker
are in that language. The loud speaker,
incidentally, is on the roof of the
temple and it looks pretty incongruous
in such place. But Director Archie
Mayo and his staff could not get along
without it. Even the chickens can be
impressed by the stentorian tones that
it sends reverberating against the
mountainous walls of GoldWyns frying
pan.
While the technical staff is getting
ready for the shooting of the big
parade and Cooper has found shade in
his dressing room, the press scoots
around among the mahouts, the camel
chauffeurs. the masters of the ducks
and the other animal specialists.
The elephants are less impressive
than those in Elephant Boy" (by
Louise Noonan Miller). so the press
goes for the camels. 1t learns that
camels are named Sheba. that their
bite is likely to be fatal, that they
have calves and when the calves die
the camels get very sad. Sheba, who
leads the camel parade, had just had
that morbid fate and was going around
