Tyrone Power, standing on the
sidelines, smile encouragement.
In the picture, Alice plays a
singer who entertains in Powers
saloon.
AS we stand watching the scene,
Tyrone leans over and says to me:
"She can sing in my saloon, any
day."
"The Great Garrick" is not the
usual costume picture but dizzy
comedy in fancy clothes.
Most exciting episode in the film
is where a group of French actors,
believing Brian Aherne is an
English snob, take over an inn and
try to brighten the life out of him.
Every member of the staff of the
inn is an actor and they are all
out to haze Garrick.
We watch Director James Whale
shoot scene in a blacksmith shop
where Brian Aherne surprises one
Of the conspirators and makes him
confess the plot.
Aherne, dressed in silks and
satin has to knock out the pseudo
blacksmith and change clothes
with him.
Director Whale chuckles as he
explains the scene to us.
They'll probably kill us in
England when they find out what
we have done to Garricl<," he says.
Whale, who directed 1.-THE Road
Back" at Universal, and who burns
up when that picture or even the
studio is mentioned, is as happy in
his present assignment as 6 boy let
out of school.
ITO the devil with high-brow
stuff" he says, give me something

On the BLACK Lightning" set at
NJ. G. M. we run across bit of
offstage drama.
Virginia Gray, playing ner first
lead in this picture, receives a
visit from Florence Rice, the
actress she used to stand in for.
Turn about is fair play" says
Florence, I'll stand in for YOU"
She gets out before the camera
and does it, a leading woman
standing in for her former stand
in.
The rest of the company is
amused and a little thrilled, for
Hollywood loves to be reminded it

HOLLYWOOD-Lights! Camera!
Action! From nine o'clock in the
morning until quitting time,
Adolphe Menjou keeps up a run
ming fire of conversation on the set.
At R-K-O this week, Director
Gregory La Cava is lining up a
shot for "Stage Door,. The scene
is in Menjou's modernistic apart
ment (he's a stage producer) and
Adolphe is trying to sell Ginger
Rogers romantic bill of goods.

fully directs the placing of a baby
spotlight that will shine on his
face.
Lighting like that, Ginger" he
says, "and we are good for 10 more
years on the screen"
They run through the rehearsal.
Director La Cava doesn't quite like
the way Adolphe plays it.

going to improve on it." says Men

That's just the trouble" says
La Cava, lit had too much

Then he slyly let's Menjou have
one. What I want, Adolrhe," he
says, ''is the amount OF SAVIOR faire

from your wardrobe"
But Meni0u is irranreSSihle
After the next rehearsal, he eX-
claims: "All right, now. boys,

Despite all the horsepiay, this
