Directing Mdrses Makes
 Woods ~ Facial Acr0bat
ONE oHfUW hUNs ON
MODERNISM CROWDS IN
By RoBBIN cooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 16.- They would have you believe, on the Metro lot, that Sam Woods facial expressions. on the set are due to his efforts to show the Marx boys how. In other words, they tell you, he has become a fourth Marx brother.
 This may be true, for the hard working Wood likes to go through the motions with his actors. But privately, l have a hunch, since boys will be boys and so will Marx es, that there is some more deeply rooted cause.
 Wood had the good fortune-or hard luck-to make hit of the last Marx film, "A Night at the Opera and therefore was logical choice for their current essay, "A Day at the Races" With this ve- hicle he has lived. eaten and slept these many months, long before a hit the shooting stage, even before it went on the road for test per- formances in key cities.
 Tense at Work
 Watch him on the set, and you see man who works tensely. This scene, for instance, wherein Grou- cho has been cavorting on the dance floor with blonde Esther Muir while long suffering Margaret Dumont, the Groucho stooge, looks on indignantly.
 Wood goes in there to trip light ly, in Groucho style, through the steps. He orders a take" finally, and while the camera turns he crouches beside it like a football tackle ready to spring. He pushes back his hat. a moment later pulls it down again, then pushes it back once more and mops his brow with his handkerchief. He alternately scowls, smiles and grimaces. The smiles are there when the scene is done perfectly, and he relaxes then, becomes the genial Sam of the days when less strenuous films were his lot.
 Its the timing,n he once told me, that makes comedy tough"
 Franks Worry
 What seems to make the Marxes tough, however is not so much their offstage pranks as their proclivi- ties for disappearing.
 From other sources you hear that Wood is a master at keeping the boys" in line and on the mark But Harpo still occasionally disap- pears, the unfathomable pixie, ne- cessitating canvass of all the telephones on the lot to discover at which he is planted in conference with his bookie.
