Here And
There

A recent National radio presen-
tation gives the basis for this
weeks column-a talk to and of
the young people of our COM
munities.
The presentation was of a Texas
woman who won the title of the
Mother of America.
Among the things that impressed
me most in this lady's mOdestly Of
fered brOadcasted interview, was
this piece of advice to American
/ Motherhood. Said she-and /
quote the thought rather than the
verbatim message-"MOthers who
love their children should, in their
early and tender years, surround
them with every care for their
physical development, so that when
they reach the years of discretion
they shall be fully trained to de-
eide for themselves the course of
action that shall guide them in
their attitude toward life; an atti-
tude they should be permitted to
choose for themselves without CO.
erciOn by the wishes or desires of
their parents"
I am of the opinion that a large
number of mothers of our group
have endeavored to choose this
very course in rearing their chill
dren but have emphasized too much
the time of the initial training and
have deferred too long the lessons
of responsibilities that must come
when parental supervision can
prove no longer effective.
The result, too often, has been
that our young people have been
permitted to believe there is no end
to the period in which they may
expect to lean upon parents for all
they need or desire and an indefi-
mite time when they themselves
shall begin to contribute to their
own future.
Thus l have seen any number of
the younger group taking as of
right, the clothes they wear, the
food they eat, the shelter they
occupy from parents from whom
they refuse to accept the discipline
that should accompany such pro-
tective aids.
| There is no argument as to the
folly of giving to irresponsible
young people the privilege of doing
as they please in the matter Of
choosing associates or the hours
devoted to uncensOred pleasure
Only by some miracle do they de-
velOp into men and women Of
whom one may be proud.
Young people won't take kindl!
to that suggestion. l don't expec
them to do so. Neither does m!
dog take kindly to the muzzle tn,
law requires me to place upon him
Both his own interest and tn,
safety of those about him demand
that I temper my regard for hin
by this unwelcome form of re
straint.
So / would urge, with the Texal
mother, that we seek to turn Ou
training of the young toward tn,

Poetic Thoughts
Whose Problems?
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

Whose Problems?
Whose problem is it if my brother isn't fed?
If he hasn't money enough to buy bread
For his loved ones who should have been cared
With substance the you and Jared.
Whose problem is the paramount question that rings
Into every persons and they would like to see
An answer specific for all time
That would settle the thought, it's none Of mine.
Whose problem will make it to be,
If l see my brother needs something
That will make his sickly soul be free,
Of all misery and let him feel like you and me.
81 am my brothers keeper" tits said
If so let's not forget what we have read
For useless are the words if we forget
That brothery love is duty that has to be met.
IT'S mine, 1 say, without a thought
Of how he got that way or brought
The decline in his affairs; for who knows
The fate for US the future holds

HOME

Give me a home that two have
built
With dreams and sacrifice
and song,
Where youth and age have
laughed and wept,
And love has mellowed
every wrong.
Whose walls have echoed with
the ring
Of children's voices in and
out,
The merriment of festive
board,
And human kindness round
about.
Give me a home where self
lessness
Is spent in doing little
things
That rate so high in happiness
The whole house breathes
the peace it brings.
Then give me grace to under

GARDEN

"Love Life of a Gorilla, a record of amazing discoveries and adven- lures in the very heart of the Dark Continent comes to the New Garden theater starting Sunday.
 Today, as never before, the public is keenly interested in foreign lands, because radio, airplane and other means of communication of trans portation have brought the various parts of the world closer together But few persons, however ever man. age to penetrate the depths of Equa- torial Africa and thus motion pic ture, with sound effects, which reaches the very "heart of dark ness" brings a pictorial record to the public that is unique and decidedly appealing from an educational point of view as well as otherwise.
 When Sir Cecil Deberrie, F. A. S.. of London England, and Major Frederick Brown of New York, set forth on the long trek from the East coast to the very center of Gorilla land, they provided themselves with complete camera equipment and Joe Luxton, a marvel among cine photographers, was engaged to make the film record.
 Their experiences through the long months of exile would fill an encyclopedia, and include the dis covery of strange colony of crea- lures that are apparently half-ape half-human, and may supply the fabled missing link" of popular knowledge.
 Never before has a film so vividly portrayed what becomes of the women and children stolen by these bad boys of the jungle" .
 Schools, colleges, societies, will find this of great interest.

 Central Control
 His program for this particular afternoon includued viewing some daily rushes on big pictures in pro- duction and at least two confer ences. He is a great fellow for con- ferences, but that's due to the War ner method of placing everything under central control. Most studios adhere to the unit system of pro- duction, in which each picture has producer who is the absolute boss.
 The Warner plant has all the usual departments, and depart ment heads, yet Wallis and Jacl Warner, the final authority or production, have the say-so or everything from story-Writing tt the costumes worn by extras.
 Wallis holds story conferences, buys plays, sets picture budgets, reads Is or 20 synopses each week, handles important trading deals with other studios, supervises cut ting, works over finished scripts, sees talent tests, argues with stars and featured players over salaries, assignments, vacations and bill- ings, listens to musical scores and visits the sets.

BY PAUL HARRISON

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Hollywood.-I case anybody has been wondering just what a big movie executive does, this depart mant is able to tell something about the activities of Hal B. Wallis, who is the associate boss in charge of production at Warner Brothers Studio. Wallis has a hand in every thing that goes on in one of the busiest, richest and most profitable entertainment factories in the world.
 At least, I can tell what went o1 during a 26-minute interview with Wallis, andt hats lot of time to pry out of the 14-hour day of an important movie-maker.
 In 26 minutes he could have
 spanked a couple of stars, hired
 q third, paid $150,000 for a story
 and allotted a million dollars for
 the making of new epic.
 Instead he talked. Mostly he talked straight facts, with few en- bellishments.
 Wallis gets to his office at 10 a. m., dives into his mail and other routine, and usually has mid morning conference CT two. On this particular morning he had just finished a conference on the problem of what to do with Gold diggers in Paris" picture sched- uled to start in two weeks, but which was in the embarrassing position of having only half a script.
 Rudy Vallee and other expensive players would be ready for work in a few days; also there were sets, costumes and music to plan, prepare and okay.
 He Juggles Puzzles
 At most studios, the majority of pictures are begun before the scripts are completed; at Warmers, such a situation is exceptional. Wallis showed me a shelf stacked with about forty finished scripts. He brought out production chart revealing all the company's plans between now and mid-April.
 Pictures, directors, stars, writers, composers, cinematographers and other important facilities and per- Sonnel were entered there, assign ments so dovetailed that there should be no waste of services or conflict.
 Illnesses and other unpredict- able delays force frequent changes in this schedule, and part of Wallis job is juggling the puzzle so that everything will come out all right.
 Wallis always has a business conference at luncheon.
 ~Some day" he said, "T'm going to bring a sandwich and bottle Of milk to the office and lock

WATERBURY GIRL

ROsalind Russell Cast in Live, Love and Learn
 Beginning Sunday

Performances today and tomor- row conclude the engagement of "The Firefy" with Jeanette Mac Donald, Allan Jones and Warren Willia also "45 Fathers" with Jane Withers and Tomas Beck, current attractions at Warner Brothers Strand theater.
 Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell, with the support of Robert Benchley and a frst-rate cast, score 8 decided hit in the new comedy romance of Greenwich Village, Live, Love and Learn" which will head the new show at the Strand on Sunday.
 I The story concerns Bohemian artist of the Village, who falls in love and wins society girl. Life in a Village studio proves to be less attractive than she thought. Love fits up by way of the North skylight, or maybe down the rickety stairs. At any rate, they part and the artist is miserable
 Circumstance and deep love bring them together again and he re- launches his career at the easel. But before all this transpires, this merry couple engage in a series of episodes which make for mirthful entertainment.
 Montgomery and Miss Russell again demonstrate their mastery of the art in which they have scored consistently. The supporting cast is uniformly good and the direction by George Fitzmaurice is excellent.
 In addition to Benchley, the hu- morist and more recently actor, the cast includes Helen Vinson, Mickey Rooney, Monty Woolley, E. E. Give, Charles JudelS, Maud e Eburne, Harlan Briggs, June Clay worth and Al Shean.
 The companion feature will pre- sent the ever popular Peter Lorre in Thank You MT. Moto", another exciting adventure in the crime de- tecting career of this cunning

LAST CANCSTER'
 AT LOEW'S POLL
Edward Robinson POr= trays Role of DOmineer=
 ing Underworld Czar

Edward G. Robinson brings all of his consummate artistry to the role of Joe Krozac, gangster, killer and extortioniSt of "The Last Gangster" which opens tomorrow at the Loew Poli theater, and the result is a portrayal which for sheer power and dramatic effectiveness has not been equalled even by the actors own Little Caesar" of some years back.
 In "The Last Gangster" we have the picture of a domineering, ruth less, underworld czar, man who has outSmarted rival crooks and gotten away with it, a man who has laughed at judges and gotten away with it, man who recognizes no power greater than his own. When his doom finally falls and he is ultimately sent to serve ten years in prison for income tax evasion, he is like child in an unknown world. It is this man whom Robinson brings to life with that unerring instinct for making human being out of screen shadow which has labeled him one of the screens greatest character stars.
 The story is given even greater emotional impact in its narrative of the wife and child who have been left behind when Joe Krozac is sent to prison. Rounded by sob sisters and newspaper man the gangster's i harassed wife is befriended by a reporter when she marries follow ing her divorce from Krozac. When the gangster finally is released from prison it is with hatred for his wife and the man whom he thinks of as having stolen his child. It is ulti- mate understanding of the child'S clean new environment and his own unftneSS to be the child's father that leads the picture to its stirring climax.
 In her first appearance before American screen audiences, Rose Stradner, M-G-M'S new Viennese find" proves herself not only love- ly to look at but an actress of dis tinguiShed talent. In the difficult assignment of Edward G. Robinson's wife, she brings to the role a sin cerity and dramatic depth which would endear her to American au- diences and raise her to front rank along with her contemporary, Luise Rainer.
 James Stewart, as the reporter who befriends her, brings sharp contrast to RobinSon'S ruthless criminal characterization. Excellent work is contributed by Lionel Stan der as the gangster's henchman who finally turns on him, and others who stand out in the cast are little Douglas Scott as the son, John Carradine and Sidney Blackmer.
 M-G-M has given its usual pains taking care to the settings and back grounds and the direction of Ed ward Ludwig is at all times lucid and grasping of the story's impli- cations. "The Last Gangster" is a picture which no audience will care to miss, and one that adds another feather to Edward G. Robinson's long list of triumphs.
 The second big hit on this pro- gram is a comedy romance, Lady Behave" with Sally Eilers and Nei. Hamilton.

 He goes home to his valley ranch for dinner with his wife, Louise Fa- zenda, and their son, returns to the studio and works until midnight, usually on the cutting of the four "A" pictures which ordinarily are in production.
 I asked, How long do you ex- pect to live?"
 Well, I don't know" he said T came to this job in 1928 and the first two years just about fin ished me. But now things are rolling along pretty good. I enjoy it-I really do. I get some exer- else at home, mostly swimming, and each spring I generally man. age six or eight weeks vacation for trip to Europe.
 "Of course I've thought about quitting, but as my wife says, I'll never quit. I've considered get ting out of this spot and produc- ing maybe four pictures a year What I'd most like to do, though is direct, but I might not be any good at it. Telling people what to do, and doing it, are very different jobs."

Famous Swing Band Fea= tured in Hollywood Par-

Catchy songs, magnificent set tings, two famous band organiza- tions, a swiftly paced inside story of Hollywood life, a star-studded cast headed by Dick Powell and Louella O. Parsons, are some of the clements which make up what is apparently going to be the smash-hit musical of the season. Hollywood Hotel" It begins a four day engagement at Warner Bro- thers State today.
 Inclusion in the picture of an en- tire broadcast of the most famous of all air programs - Hollywood Hoter-meant adding enormously to the cost of production already ledgered in astronomical numbers But the Warner studio took the band off the bank roll and went to town. Result is a million dollar plus filmusical which gives the au- dience double value in the loveliest laughingest, dizziest, singingest picture of the year.
 Dick Powell in the best role of his career gives an endearing act ing performance-sings tunes that will send millions away whistling 'em.
 Opposite him play two of the fa- nous Lane Sisters-Lola as a tenn peramental movie queen who refuses to appear at premiere for her pro- ducer, and Rosemary as a little un- known waitress who is called in to double socially for the star.
 A stellar array of laugh-makers are at their rollicking best. Ted Healy as the freelancc photographer who becomes Dick Powell's manager and Hugh Herbert as the befuddled father of the movie star give inim- itable performances. Alan Mowbray playing the handsome ham leading
