.SELZNICK PLANS
 COLLEGE CINEMA
President Signs Two PIay-
 wrights, Authors of \ Brother Rat''

Hollywood. Those two 26-year- old playwright sensations, John Monks;Jr. and Fred F.. FinkleKoffe, whose play, Brother Rat" amazed and delighted Broadway, are coming to Hollywood to turn out for motion pictures a story of Americas college youth, as seen by a couple of young men just barely out of university themselves. ra
 David O. Selznick, president of Selznick International Pictures, won the race among film producers 10 sign up the young men. He has Q story idea he believes they can write to perfection, and expects to have them here next week to start the ball rolling.
 With college life as a background, Selznick will produce the picture as a technicolor musical. Oscar Serlin will be production assistant, and the directorial assignment will be di- vided between William Cameron Menzies, who just returned from England, and Robert Sinclair noted stage director and producer, who until signed by Selznick was "Hol- lywood holdout." Shooting probably will begin with the reopening Of universities next Fall.
 Brother Rat" is the young writing teams first play. Monks and Fin- klehoffe wrote 1t together as the sis for English class, under the title, Stand at Ease" while attending Virginia Military Institute. Later. Finklehoffe continued h!s studies Yale Law School, while Monks tried unsuccessfully to be an actor.

By ROBERT TAYLOR Special Ot The Democrat)

Hollywood--Now I've got chance to feel the freedom of the press while your regular columnist has a chance to feel the freedom of the open spaces.
 For the past three years I've been reading things about myself and my fellow workers in various newspa- perS. Some were nice, some were nasty, some were true and some were false. This gives me an opportunity , to right some wrongs. Although I'll probably end up by wronging some rights.
 z In the first place, screen players are real people, and therefore are subject to days when they feel swell and other days when they feel terrible. If a business man feels bad ly and happens to be grouchy dur ing the day, everyone is sorry for the fellow and hopes that he re- covers soon.
 But not with the screen star. Should you have an off-day then it's temperament" or tits going to

his head"
 When first came to Hollywood this feeling was very strong among outsiders, but true columnistS anc reporters have done much to correct this situation.
 Screen players own homes that cover entire hillsides. They have Roman swimming pools and severa tennis courts"
 I've read the above statements many times. In fact whenever any of my friends from back home visit Hollywood, they think I'm kidding when I point out the homes of Wal lace Beery, James Stewart, George Murphy, Eleanor Powell, Buddy Eb- sen or any of the other players.
 Where are the block-large pools where are the private golf courses and the private theaterS?"
 I can point out pools and such but most of these show places be- long to retired business men who have never seen the inside of 6 motion picture studio.
 College Graduate
 Regarding Hollywood parties, don't mind admitting that I wa, really disappointed. My first break in pictures came when I was stil going to Pomona college. That, only 30 miles from Hollywood, but we had heard of the famous" Hol- lywood revelers.
 Most of the Hollywood parties have attended were tanner and more simple than the average college af- fair. But they were just as much fun.
 Suppose Joan Crawford invites you to her home on Saturday night First dinner, then to the living room or the garden for coffee. Usually the guests sit around and play some games like backgammon and about II. the party is finished.
 Sounds like it might be a dul evening to the average person, but 1t isn't, because most hosts ano hostesses in the movie capital real ize that after working all week, a screen player needs entertainment of a simple nature.
 I'm not trying to imply that peo- pie who work in pictures don't like to dress up and go dancing, or put on costumes and go to a fancy ball I'm merely saying that I've been ir1 Hollywood for three years and I've yet to locate one of those wild parties.
 But Hollywood's world of fun even if 1t isn't as glamorous as ] thought it would be.
 But let's get back and debunk some more ideas about Hollywood that I had before entering pic lures, and some that perhaps you have now.
 Players don't drive around in cus- tom-built cars. Perhaps they'd like to, but big cars are hard to drive and also they make you target for all kinds of racketeers.
 Wottaman Gable!
 Clark Gables been driving a cal of 1929 vintage. William Powell fol. lows closely with a '31 type, as dt many of the others.
 I will admit that screen player. wear dark glasses when they leave their homes or the studios. but SC do the rest of the people living ir southern California. They have te or the strong sun will hurt their eyes. Hiding from the public? Don't be foolish, for that public is theii boss and who ever heard of dis pleasing the boss.
 No, Hollywood's not at all like thought 1t would be-or maybe you thought 1t would be.
 It's better!

impression of the power and volume that were needed. So they dubbed in Allan Jones.
 When Francia White played so- prano ghost to Virginia Bruce in "The Mighty Barnum," Hollywood s conversationalistS of illusion were indignant that the secret should be discovered and publicized. Fans didn't seem to mind, though, but any who did will be glad to know that Miss Bruce has done her own singing ever since.
 Voice clubbing has been going on since the talkies' earliest days. John Murray sang Weary River" for Dick Barthemess. Another voice ghosted for Corrine Griffith in "Divine Lady"
 The practice was as well estab- lished as the clubbing of beautiful legs and slender, artistic hands for closeup shots.
 Unseen Cock Scene
 One of the funniest, most incon- gruous sights to be found around the studios is an occasional scene showing couples dancing and talk ing.
 What the camera sees looks na- tural enough, because 1t picks up the players at waist-height and moves in for close-ups to catch ex- pressions of ardor on the pan of the hero and the huskily whispered words of his gal-friend.
 But if the camera suddenly should draw back and reveal the whole scene you'd get quite a start For there would be the dancers, even- ing clothed and in smart surround ings, tripping their measures while
