Really is getting embarrassing for motion picture editors
since the society departments have recently taken to backing

The Washington times., 1937-05-26

So it goes. I blame Producer
Selznick and his publicity organ
ization for raising the hopes Of
hundreds of impreSsionable debu.
tantes and amateur actresses by
the announcements that some be-
ginner in Hollywood might get
the much-sought-after role, pro-
vided her screen tests were salts
factory.
Now nobody in the motion pic
ture industry or close to 1t, ever
believed that statement for one
minute. Every motion picture
exhibitor who books United Artists
product, would yell to high
heaven if Gone With the Wind"
came to his theater with some I'M
known quantity in the most i'm.
portant role.
These exhibitors have a prac-
tical interest in the success Of
the picture; it is their job to sell
it to audiences, and the sales
manship requires less high pres
sure and whoop-la if the producer
gives them what they have a
right to expect a good story and
NAMES.
When Director Woody Van
Dyke was here recently he ex-
pressed the opinion that some un.
known could play Scarlet O'Hara.
THE book" said the director,
has been so well advertised, any
body can play it."
I disagree violently with the
genial Mr.. Van Dyke on this point
and think have most exhibitors
on my side. Pictures to be sold
successfully must have STAR
VALUE. It has been demonstrated
time and again. and no more re-
Gently than with the Van Dyke
directed sonal Property"
which would unquestionably have
gone into the red ledger, without
Robert Taylor and Jean Harlow
as its stars.
Thus the issue comes down to
the futility and the utter cruelty
of leading the amateur legion into
the belief that some beginner will
start a Hollywood career on the
top rung of the ladder.
TINE FOR SHOWDOWN
My grapevine information is
that Tallulah Bankhead, tested by
Director George Cukor for the role
of "Scarlett," met every screen re-
quirement. Certainly she is a
finished actress in every respect, is
a true daughter of the South. has
had screen experience, enjoys the
prestige of being the daughter OF
the Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, has a genuine Dixie
accent.
What more could one ask? Only
this: What value has the name
of Tallulah Bankhead for the ex-
hibitor? She has been away from
pictures for a long time. Her last
screen features were failures. Tai
lulah Bankhead must be sold to
exhibitors, and that is no easy
task. Hollywood knows exactly
what Tallulah can do. So do I.
She is my No. choice for the as
signment.
If they rule out Tallulah Bank
head, tell me what chance has a
beginner? So I suggest the time
would seem to be propitious for
Producer Selznick to announce:
THE role of Scarlett O'Hara in
Gone With the Wind" is Of such
importance only actresses Of the
first rank are being considered.
Under no circumstances will those
without experience be deemed ELI
gible. Tests which have been
made for atmosphere and minor
roles in the picture must not be
accepted as qualifying aspirants
for the main role in the Margaret
Mitchell story. Scarlet O'Hara is
a star part. Only an established
star will be called upon to play it"
