Pat O'Brien
Is Ruled by
He's Hollywood's
One Professional
Irishman.
By Hubbard Keavy.
Associated Press staff Writer.

HOLLYWOOD.
Pat O'Brien just isn't the fault
finding type. In the second and third
places, he is too well fed and too well
paid to be that way. But occasionally
he feels like picking the movies to
little bits, and I happened to find
him in that mood.
He told me, and profanely, that pic
lures are undetermined, that he gets
sick Of trite plots and the same dia-
logue, that he often gets hungry for
the realness of the stage. But almost
in the same breath he added
This has been mamma in the desert
for a lot of us boys who were poor
al our lives"
The emotion that rules this O'Brien
Is sentiment, in large, gold caps. He
Is devoted to his friends, whom he is
certain can do no wrong, to his fam
lily and to his wifes family.
He spoke of having been poor, so I
asked him exactly what 100000
year means to him.
ITO me personally, not so much"
he answered, thoughtfully. Il smoke
10-cent cigars instead of nickel ones,
I bet 10 bucks instead of 2 on the
horses, I own a few more books, and
I got a house.
The important thing about having
money is the use I can put it to for
other people. I get big kick out Of
buying my parents and my wlfe's
parents houses and giving them the
deeds. Oh, there's lot of ways to
use money"
Pat didn't mention it, but friend
said he is regarded by old-time friends
who are down on their luck as most
dependable fellow. That means he is
an easy touch. Living at Pats house
now is a former roommate who is
looking for job.
Pat says he's made only four pictures
he's really proud to talk about. He
thinks "Oil for the Lamps of China"
was his best, but the public didn't. He
likes his first, Front Page" Il Mar
ried Doctor" and Angels With
Dirty Faces" soon to be released.
C"Boy, is Cagney good in this!' he
exclaims.)
He gets sore at the Warmers about
every four months because they won't
loan him to other studios for good
roles. The studies answer is that 1t
Is entitled to all of his drawing power.
ALL or at least most, of Pats friends
are Irish too. But none of them shout
about it so much as he. He is Holly
woods only professional Irishman,
. with his vivid green car, his imported
shamrocks, his faith in all things
Irish
Only two stories have been told
about him that he resents and takes
every opportunity to deny. One is that
while playing football for Marquette he
ran a touchdown against Notre Dame.
CT ran to the sidelines after two
minutes of play.D
The other is that large green
shamrock tattooed on his chest was
removed, skin and all, so he could
make a lamp shade of the "parch-
ment."

you'd like to see the air really turn

Miss Claire has had several roles

this is the first time that she has won

she took an excellent bit of advice

degree by the fact that motion pic
lures are almost the sole commercial
entertainment for Negroes in the
South.
Million Dollar has been established
for little more than a year, and its
entire personnel is colored, with the
exception OF Harry M. Popkin, the
president. White directors have been
engaged for each picture. but all the
roles, including those of white char
acters. are played by Negroes. Beside
the fact that this practice obviates any
racial difficulties which might arise,
the company's reason for using no
white players is that pale Negroes,
who are never used in regular produc-
tions, get an opportunity to act in the
white roles. Four Negro actors are
under contract to the organization-
Lawrence Griner, Edward Thompson,
Monte Hawley and Reginald Fender
son. the first three having been men,
bers of the Lafayette Players, a New
York colored stock company. Nina
Mae Mckinney, who was the star of
"Hallelujah," has been signed for a
one ne-picture deal, and Louise Beavers
was featured in Life Goes On
No effort is made by the company to
interest white audiences in their pro-
duct, because they wish to avoid the
picturesque and the comic. Their
policy, according to executives of the
organizat ton, is based upon the theory
that American Negroes want to see
pictures about their contemporary life,
done in q matter of fact manner with
no stress upon the race question.
Plantation backgrounds are eschewed,
and the pictures planned, as we'll as
those already produced, confine them
selves to life among Negroes in cities,
dealing chiefly with colored gangsters
and colored orchestras.

faces to Broadway and all proved

One is Augusta Wallace. daughter of

she establishes herself as most prom

What want to do is photograph
America-show the people what it
really looks like The farms and fac
tories, the hills and mountains and
streams. Real people and real places.
Lorentz has been harping on this
idea for many years Nine years ago ,as
New York's youngest movie critic. he
served notice that "'jazz heaven is a
good example of the kind of movies
that must struggle along without my
constructive criticism in the future"
The young man who made movie
stars out of the Mississippi River and
a Texas "duster" has little interest in
the autograph-signi ermine- wearing
big names of HOLLYWOOD He once
called Greta Garbo "homely and awk-
ward but admitted she could act. He
avoided the movies of Clara Bow, the
"It" girl.
Hollywood is finding out that stars
are the bunk" he declared. You've
got to have good story, fine photog-
raphy and intelligent direction to
make a picture The best actor in
the world can't make a good picture
without them. Movies are made by
cutting and direction. and the actor
isn't important at ALL"
Lorentz depends on the adventure of
trying out new ideas in movie making
to lure topnotch workmen in his film
projects.
But ever since the little Office was
opened this summer on top a local
bank building, movie-struck girls and
square -jawed youths have been knock
ing at the door. Old-time Hollywood
cameramen and writer's. too. have ap-
piled for jobs. One little blond asked
for the job of script girl.
I'm not even sure what a script girl
would do" Lorentz remarked.
In his new job with the Presidents
National Emergency Council, Lorentz
hopes to assist in co-ordinating the
sprawling movie efforts of the Gov
ernment, now scattered in dozens OF
bureaus. The Government has been
putting out movies since the Civil
Service Commission tried Advance by
Merit in 1912.
Lorentz says he doesn't know what a
documentary film is: the nearest he
ever came to definition was: "A
factual film which is dramatic"
Lorentz has two duties in the new
set-up:
l. To produce more pictures like
"The Plow" and THE River" for gen.
eral distribution. 1t is rumored his
next one may relate the story OF
chronological unemployment
2. To advise Government depart
ments on their educational films He
hopes the Government may expert
ment with cartoon characteristics to
teach such lessons as traffic safety and
with humorous charts and maps.
He finds it "a terribly exciting job. -

tinued. This is a crazy business at
best. don't know anybody in the
movie business who hasn't got stomach
trouble. ! don't know why I got into
it. But it's fun"
Lorentz tried to sell Hollywood on
his picture-making idea before he
talked to Rexford Tugwell and Secre-
tary Wallace about it. Hollywood
turned him down then-and he
turned Hollywood down later Friends
declare one studio offered him $4,000
