own mighty person to the American
cause if the prisoners were released.
To this proposition Gen. jackson said
the equivalent to "Phooey."
So intrigued was Lafltte that he
sought an interview with "Old
Hickory" (the prisoners had been re-
leased by other authorities prior to
this. so that object was out) and they
agreed on terms. Lafitte was to get
nothing except the doubtful privilege
of exposing his handsome puss to the
fire of superior British force Jack
son was to get what he wanted, some
tough fighting men to augment his
own forces and a good guide to show
his generals the topography Of the
New Orleans sector.
So intrigued by this entire business
was Cecil B. De Mile that when the
Paramount research department told
him about it, he cried, AN epic! An
epic"
Mr.. De Mile seldom cries ANYTHING
else when excited, but this time he
meant business. without bathtubs.
More studio scholars embarked for
the Louisiana State Museum, the Par
sons Library and other collections
where the records Of those days are
stored. They also read carefully
Marquis James new biography of
Jackson. They came back with let
ters, orders, dates, descriptive Incl
dents. Mr.. De Mile, with Fredric
March as his Lafitte and F,ranciska
Gaai as the inevitable love interest,
began THE Buccaneer." Thursday

you may behold the deeds of one of
the most flamboyant customers of q
rakish age in American history. Ro-
mantle as a poets dream, the tale
presents pirates who are documented,
as well as armed to the teeth. but
it jostles truth somewhat in adherine
to an old film tradition-the hero
always wins the war. Here Mr., De
Mile stretches point to please his
public, for Jean Lafitte was not pre-
clsely the swing man OF the battle
OF New Orleans. He did, however.
distinguish himself sufficiently to re-
celve from Gen. Jackson a letter
stating that he considered the ex-
brigand lone of those to whom the
country is most indebted on the late
trying occasion" and adding "the
sincere assurance of my private friend

Not bad, for a boy who made his
living Sitting outlets.

Southern Accents
Call for Coaching.

THERE are those who wouldn't envy
the job Prof. Dalton S. Raymond
took on recently at Warner Bros.
studios.
Prof Raymond, formerly on the
faculty Of Louisiana State University
and now an advisory expert for the
movies, drew an assignment to have
Massachusetts, Bette Davis, Ireland
George Brent. Nebraska's Henry
Fonda and Iowa's Margaret Lindsay
all conversing in authentic "Loosiana'
accents within four weeks-for their
roles in "Jezebel." the Civil War
drama based on Owen Davis play.
But that part of the job, Prof. Rey-
mond reveals, was the easiest.
Hardest was getting the Negro ac-
tors in the production to learn q
Southern accent.

whether radio helped or hurt film per-

Durbin, who owes the birth of her

audience. or Charlie Butterworth,

HOLLYWOOD.
\ 4 ARTHA RAVE is on her
M mettle following the addition
w to the cast of her present
a film of Nell Kelly, famous
wide-mouthed comic of the vaude-
vile stage, who is reputedly a chal-
lenge to Martha in her own field OF
humor.
Miss Kelly was signed by Producer
Lewis E. Gensler to play the part of
a waitress in Paramounts college
Swing" with George Burns, Oracle
Allen, Ben Blue. Edward Everett
Horton. Bob Hope and other, noted
comedians.
Miss Kelly will work into the film
her renowned beans" number which
established her as q leading comedi-
enne upon the stage.
Like Miss Raye, Miss Kelly makes
effective use of the rough and tumble
technique. awkward positions and wide
mouth. She is said to be able ito
"out-Martha Raye" with her cavern
Gus mouth.
Her reputation for being a rough
neck travelled ahead of her when she
toured the country. Masters of cere-
mony feared her presence on the stage
In order to escape manhandling, they
would do their mc'ing from the or
chestra pit. One of them in San
Francisco decided to stand up to her
He retired from the stage with two
broken ribs.
Nell is tall, angular and red-haired.
She bears a slight resemblance to
Greta Garbo, fact that will be capi-
talized upon in college Swing" Miss
Kelly is accomplished as mimic, and
her imitation of Carlo, which the
Swedish star herself once witnessed,
is excellent, and Producer Gensler has
arranged to put it in the picture.
Although Miss Kelly has visited
Hollywood and Los Angeles on vaude-
vile tours for many years, this is the
first time she has appeared in motion
pictures. She was discovered" by
producers in the same cafe where
Martha Raye was first noticed two
years ago, although Miss Kelly was
we'll established at the time and Miss
Raye was not.
