Tho dilemma faced by a young physician devotion to his society lweetheart, which seals his lips nenfl1sk conditions he sees behind the scenes in a large metropolitan 21oapital, and devotion to mankind which prompts him to speak out and expose the evils, Is the plot of "A Doctors Diary" Q searching drama with John Trent and Helen Burgess, which began Q three-day engage 1nent at Warmers State theater this afternoon.
 John Trent, as the young phy- eIcian, sees patients lose their lives because of the toadying of society doctors to wealthy patients. Ills nurse, Miss Burgess, loses her job when she dares to lift her voice against his condition. When con- ditions get so bad that he can no longer hold his emotions, he, too, loses his job and, more important, his fiancee and his laboratory. What follows leads up to .a startling cli- max you'll not soon forget.
 The companion feature is "Mur- der Goes to College" featuring two outstanding comedians in Roscoe Karns and Lynne OvermaIl. Don't let the title fool you, however, as the story is loaded with laughs.
 It depicts the story of a self appointed investigator and bottle- loving reporter who become in- volved in a series of humorous sit- nations while solving the crime.
 The leading feminine role is por- trayed by Marsha Hunt, and Astrid Allwyn enacts a role scarcely less Important.

Fl HOLLYWOOD D
I2LAc CIAR1NET iNl SPAl% M0MkNTT
By Paul Aarrisen

Hollywood. Frreund is a big subject to write about. He weighs 240 pounds, and recently strained the scales at about 280. He is not & tall man, either, and from little distance you can't be sure whether he's walking or rolling.
 Mir. Freund gains additional stature, however, from the fact that he is the only man in Holly wood with a three-way contract as writer, director, and cinematog- rapher. He himself doesn't know why he has such Q contract, be- cause, although he has done a lit- tie writing and considerable di- recting, he is perfectly content to remain a photographer. "The field for expression is just as good," he says. Maybe better"
 If this is Ire, Man-Montain Freund has made 1t so. He can think up more gadgets than Major Hoople, except that the Freund gadgets all seem to work. He is credited with more technical im- provements in photography than anybody else in or out of Holly wood.
 He made the first "zoom" lens. It would take fair-sized book on optics to explain about the zoom , lens and this department is not a text on such things. But Freund's contrivance was one of rapidly changing focus which permitted g camera to swing rapidly up to an objective, and away from 1t, while still keeping the image sharp as g new dime.
 Freund was the photographer or "The Last Laugh" with Emil Jan.

somehow, so he reproduced the effect when he filmed most of the picture here in Hollywood. Did it with transparent colored discs placed in wheel which revolved in front of the lens.
 By changing the discs he ob- tained morning, noon, and even- ing densities, all fairly authen- tically Chinese. With the same device he produced a sort of mist yelled light for "Parnell," which is supposed to happen mostly in Ire- land.
 CREATES CLOUDS"
 When lack of suitable clouds threatened to delay "The Good Earth" indefinitely, Freund set to work on a contraption which would throw cloud shadows over the land. An electric motor and system of gears drew 8 glass slide in front of the lens. and on the slide were some faintly tinted smudges. Result was that ominous shadows of tunl- bling storm clouds seemed to be cast on the fields, and the workers raced desperately to harvest their grain.
 He has operated a camera for 30 years, and was a newsreel man in Berlin at the outbreak of the war. The army wouldn't take him be- cause of his weight, which came from drinking two gallons of beer a day.
 Two months ago Freund became an American citizen. When he ar- rived in America eight years ago. he was unable to- speak any Eng fish, and still has Q strong accent Films are "devil-upped" instead oi developed.
 He likes to tell how he lost SC much weight lately. Did 1t by fast ing two days a week and drinking fruit juice. For a while he thought it would kill him, but he feels fine now and has lost 10 inches from his waist line.

I nings. After studying a way to shoot Jannings in a drunk scene, the cameraman strapped the camera to his own body and staggered ii, front of the actor.
 LIGHT PROBLEMS
 He has figured out 8 lot of new ideas about lighting, most of them too technical to go into here. But to all experts in these matters a job of Freund photography is immediately recognizable on the screen.
 His world would seem to be merely a world of light and shadow, yet he deals in colors which somehow, intangibly, are trans lated to the black-and-white screen.
 For example: "In sea pictures, there usually is dazzling light with color in 1t. Shining through micro scopic drops of water, it is like millions of little lenses. Then break up the rays into component parts, and when they are concen- trated we have rainbow. But in a general effect, we get color com- ponents which the eye canont no- tice, but they are noticed by the cameras eye, all right" It is funny, he thinks, that the movie studios were built in Holly wood originally because of the ad- vantages of California light. To- day technicians are trying to re- produce the light tones of all other parts of the world, from the blue- white Arctic to the dusty copper of the topics.
 Parts of "The Good Earth" were shot in China. Freund noticed that the light seemed different

In the first place, you've got to be
sure that you remember some OF the

And in the second place. that re-

And if all you want to do is to say

quently in this column. Not only
because he is regarded as an ace
makeup specialist, not only because
hi advice is so sound, but because it
is usually so encouraging to the aver
age woman. And, after ALL 1t is the

According to this makeup special
ist a ravishing beauty has little or no
chance Of being motion picture star.
The woman with perfect features,
with what is called flaWless beauty,

Which should please us. even if We
are not on movie-contract bent. be-
cause Hollywoods standards should
certainly be good enough for us.
Actresses hive selling points

and make you remember them"
A face that is interesting, a per-
sonalty that is charming makes for
more compelling beauty than merely
perfect features.
Westmore points out that Claudette
Colbert sells herself as beauty
through her large and beautiful eyes.
with their long, naturally curled
lashes. beautiful brows and depth of
expression.
The rest of her face is not extraor-
dinarily beautiful and does not
need to be. She does the rest of the
excellent job through personality.
Much as We have emphasized that
perfection of features is not the all
important or the foremost requisite
of modern beauty, don't think We
have quite convinced the average
woman. Because if more women were
convinced, more women would be en-
couraged to point up their selling
points to enhance their best
features and then develop their charm.

they would compel interest and ad-

Very often for the sake of interest,

them.
