that their creator might be rated
as first assistant to the tragic muse.
AS matter of fact, he is nothing
of the kind. On the contrary, he
is a robust, gentle, cheerful gentle
man with a tendency toward cor
pulence and a remarkable gift for
laughter.
Whatever success Goulding enjoys
as a tear producer, and he Is very
modest about it, he ascribes to look
ing at the matter from a scientific
standpoint. Tears, he says, are
planted in an audience through the
movement Of story and harvested
In the same way. 1t is pure crafts
manship. If it expresses anything of
the director, take Goulding's word
for it, 1t Is nothing more than the
skill OF ca ,ful worker; certainly
not his general attitude toward life.
That, however. is merely Could
ing's estimate. At a recent SCREEN
ing OF I'VE Are Not Alone" he
wept over sequence in which Paul
Mum manifests the tender love of
an understanding father for a NAL
adjusted child. Those would be diff
cult tears to attribute to science or
craftsmanship. Mr.. Goulding did not
try.
Ford, one of history's brightest
llluminators, is not unlike Goulding
IN appearance. To his particular
field of entertainment making he
brings the same remarkable crafts
manship. His most spectacular ac-
complishment, of course, was "The
1nformer," primarily study, in
character, but one of the finest
illustrations of the psychology of
the Irish revolution.
Mr.. Ford turned to American his
tory with conspicuous success in
"Stagecoach," which he made for
Walter Wanger and which told very
brilliantly-despite the absence of
star names-a grand story of the

For whatever comfort it may offer
those who have been made bilious
by it, or dismay to those who have
not. Variety this week impassion-
ately reports that swing music is on
the way out. For this information,
the favorite weekly of those in show
business turned to the campuses of
Eastern colleges and universities.
There it discovered that student
committees charged with providing
music for school functions no longer
were booking swing orchestras with
the same old confident abandon.
They are taking, instead, combina-
tions that are able to play sweet
as well as swing tempo.
Which" says Variety, further
goes to prove that the jitterbug era
is becoming passe."

movie vehicle for Bette Davis :.

does the same thing. She turns back
to the man she loved, the rake, he
gets her out of the jam, and she
marries him. I can't tell you If they
are happy ever afterwards, because
the picture ends at this point.
David Selznick is only waiting for
the reaction to his Gone With the
Wind" before getting down to
sequel for the Margaret Mitchell
best seller. OF all stories, I think
Gone With the Wind" Is one of the
most suitable for follow-up. The
ending of the book, and the movie,
with the parting of the ways for
Rhett and Scarlet, is not exactly
satisfactory. And 1. for one, would
go for sequel in which they came
together again. Whether Margaret
Mitchell will be asked to write the
second picture is problematical. But
I imagine that. in any case, she
will be paid round sum in dollars
for the right to continue with her
characters.
This question of the right of
studios to make sequels without pay
to the authors of stories already
filmed and paid for will soon be de-
cided in the courts. Fannie Hurst is
currently suing Warner Brothers
for additional payment for the two
sequels she contends stemmed from
her original story--"Four Daugh-
ters." And, not so long ago, Booth
