stories about the studio personali-
ties are kept.
Michael Curtiz's name is on one
of those folders. Right inside the
cover. is a publicity story written
by press agent long since removed
from the pay roll that is headed:
''Talkies will revolutionize revoM-
lions, says Michael Curtiz." Next is
a page biography setting forth that
Mr.. Curtiz was born in Budapest,
Hungary, that his father was an
architect and his mother was con-
cert singer, that he discovered Lii
Damita, now Enrol Flynn's wife; that
he once directed Carlo, that he was
strong man in circus and lieu
tenant in the Austrian Army during
the World War. that he has made
pictures in Austria, Sweden, France
and Denmark; that he was an actor
in Max Reinhardt's company, that
he is married to Bess Meredith, the
scenario writer, and plays polo, tina.
he has made some 80 pictures. but
if you wish to know more about the
many look him up.
Mr.. Curtiz sits in canvas chair
staring gloomily into space. The
scene has been taken. The camera
man, Sol Polito, is waiting for the
verdict. So are the players, Jimmy
Cagney, Pat O'Brien and Humphrey
Bogart. Yet Mr.. Curtiz sits staring
into space. Finally, he speaks.
Dose tings," he says, and shakes
his head.
The prop man. Limey Plews,
knows that he means the props on
the set. So he removes some Of
them.
And it was hamly," adds Mr.
Curtiz. VERY hamly. Why should
you not be simple? Why should you
not talk like peoples talk? One
more rehearse and then we take it
over?"
The folder said nothing about Mr.
Curtiz's amazing use of English. 1t
said nothing, for instance, about the
time Mr.. CurtiZ sent an assistant
to do something and when it was
done improperly, remarked: THE
next time I send a dumb so and so
I send myself" Or about the time,
when desiring that riderless horses
be brought on the set. he shouted:
Bring on de empty horses"
When he wanted watering
trough removed from the foreground
of an exterior set for Dodge City"
Mike commanded: Take away the
water trophy"
When a group of overenthusiastic
extras in the same production made
too much noise during scene, Mike
suggested: Cut out the yip-yips
and the woo-woos. Sounds too Hol-
lywood boulevard"
After 10 years in America, English
is still mystery to him and he has
long since given up being sensitive
about it. When excited, Mr.. Curtizs
English becomes even more colorful.
And because it is a bit incoherent
he pantomimes his desires and
makes himself understood as few
directors in Hollywood can.

The Dead End" boys. whose re-
form began recently, will be starred
by Warner Bros. in a film to be
called THE Dead End Kids at COL

The Dead Finders" will be fresh
men and the freshman football
team will be a vital part of the
picture. Their success on the bas-

there are more opportunities for
their type of athletic activity.

makes is that the picture shall not
offend the normal sense of decency.
Beyond that" says the man who
made Charlotte Bronte's grim love
story, II can see no reason why we
should not have the same latitude
that you people (meaning the press)
should have"
AS to the possibility Of such a pic
ture (Which "Wurthering Heights"
may turn out to be-. Mr.. Wyler says:
I'VE adhered to the spirit OF the
novel which has been popular for
long time. If people do not want to
see it. that is their privilege. We
have believed in the novel for long
time as one of the greatest love
stories ever written. If we cannot
make a successful picture of it, that
is our fault"
Specifically, Mr. Wyler was re-
ferring to the action of the board
of censors of the Province OF Quebec.
That group yesterday put its seal
Of disapproval-or however one
wants to refer to it-upon the pic
ture unless certain scenes toward
the end were eliminated.
eliminate those scenes and what
do YOU have left?" Mr.. Wyler wants
to know.
The answer. bluntly, is nothing.
Not eliminating them, which is what
will happen before the picture comes
to the Palace on April 81, the the
alter probably will have one Of the
finest, grimmest love stories ever
told.
Outspoken in everything, includ-
Ing his admiration for the White
House, which he saw without ben
eft of any member of the occupying
family. Mr.. Wyler expressed the
opinion that continental actors had
something of an advantage over the
average American.
I'm not sure why" he said, but
suspect it may have something to
do with the fact that they have
carried spears for 10 or Is years
before they are given major parts"
That interval, Mr.. Wyler is sure.
Is important in the training of
actors. 1t explains why so many OF
his pictures, Dead End" These
Three" etc, have such large pro-
portion of tage-trained people
among their casts. Mr.. Wyler makes
the point, and emphatically.
Speaking of directors. in the past
year the Hollywood correspondents
have discovered" Michael Curtiz.
His pungent, extraordinary manner
of speaking has become, suddenly,
something to write about. Every
day or so some new Curtizism makes
the papers. He has overshadowed
such famous English mutilators as
Gregory Ratoff and Samuel Gold
wyn.
OF late. however, Curtiz has
started to rebel.
What are they trying to make
from me, jingle bells" he pro-
tests, when a new gem like, You
extras ad lib the pantomime," is
printed. why don't they write how
I direct?"
In a measure. Curtiz is right.
What he has done is whole lot
more important than what he has
said Any man who is versatile
enough to make a comedy like
'Four's Crowd" turn right around
and make a tender drama like -Four
Daughters" and swing over to a
grim tale like angels With Dirty
Faces" must be good.
You can't get a true picture of
Curtiz by looking in the publicity
