Will Hays Reports
On the State of
The Cinema
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
By the Associated Press.
Gone are the days. says Motion
Picture Gar Will H. Hays, when
the custard pie was the symbol of
hilarity and amusement on the
screen: when the chase was sure
fire entertainment technique; when
boy meets girl supplied all the drama
the audience demanded, or thrill
ing action for its own sake was
considered a satisfying movie.
Hays. who as president of the Mo-
ton Picture Producers and Dis
trioutors of America, Inc. was max
ing his annual report to the indus
try. saw enlarged opportunities for
the screen.
This, he said, was the result of
public acceptance of pictures of dis
tinctive artistic, social and cultural
value as well as entertainment ap-
peal.
The discussion that proceeds as to
the functions of the screen, Hays
asserted, is the greatest possible trib-
ute to the progress of the art.
1T is proof of the fact that an
entertainment art of the millions
has risen to such high estate that
the best which the living theater
has been able to produce or which
other artistry can create is now de-
manded in the films" he said.
Hays disclosed that of the 545
feature length pictures produced

Raft said he soon discovered, too,
that career or screen villainy
would allow him no social life, no
peace of mind in Hollywood If he
went out to night club or any
public function he was in danger
of being dragged into fight by
some drunken bully anxious to show
his cronies that he could whip the
movie bad man.
Insults were heaped on me wher-
ever went" said Raft sadly. Some
times I would have woman COM

make it doubly embarrassing. Often
we've been forced TO walk out of
places rather than take chances Of
becoming involved in a brawl. I

She's Just Born Hobo,' Says Katharine &C
Stages First Lady Tells the Story of Her Life and Arrives
With New Play at the Same Time
By John Selby,
Associated Press Arts Editor.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
Katharine Cornell. the actress
whose career began on slack wire
in her fathers back yard up in
Buffalo. is speeding to a New York
opening in her first comedy part.
To wit, the wife in S. N. Behrman's
mo Time for Comedy"
When she arrives she will find
the town pretty excited about Miss
Cornells first literary performance,
a book called Il Wanted to Be an
Actress" which she published this
week with the help of Ruth Wood
bury Sedgwick. This is the frank,
matter of fact story of Miss Cor
nells Al years, plus record Of her
performances to date.
mo Time for Comedy" opened at
the English Theater in Indianapolis
the other night.
Washington is not on the
route of Miss Cornells new play.
but it opens in Baltimore at the
Maryland Theater April 10.-EdD
The play is about chap who
turns out litter after litter of sue
cessful comedies for his actress wife,
only to flop badly when the other
woman persuades him to turn out a
serious play. Miss Cornell read it
in Detroit while trying out the un-
fortunate "Herod and Marianne;
if the combined benediction of the
five writers in the playwrights' c,m-
pany, all of whom gathered in In
dianapolis for the first performance,
is any good at all, the play will ride
straight into Broadway run.
1t will be no more amusing than
the Cornell career to date. Il guess
I'm born hobo" says Miss Cornell
at one point in her autobiography.
For example, she was born in
Berlin, where her father was study
ing medicine. But she was taken
back home to Buffalo in time to
watch her father gradually give up
his practice for show business, and
become after a few years manager
of the old Star Theater. She says
she was a 3-pound baby, and no.
body expected her to live. But she
fooled them.
Roller skating occupied most Of
her attention as child-she used to
use the lobby of her fathers theater
as a rink. Then came the slack wire
instruction from a friend of the
family, and then Maude Adams.
Miss Cornell thinks it was the
Adams performance in Peter Pan"
that woke her up, dramatically. She
remembers now that she liked the
flying part especially. But it was
Jessie Bonsteele, heroine of hun
dreds of stock engagements, who
taught the little Cornell girl the
rudiments Bonsteele used to let
Katharine sit all day long in the
theater, watching every movement
the company made.
She learned enough that when
sent to Oaksmere School at Mama
roneck. NJ Y, she could shine about
equally in dramatics and athletics.

Martin, as the saying goes, was
not born yesterday. He was born
on March /, 1910, in East Orange, N
j.. according to the biography pub
lished by the studio publicity depart
ment.
There may have been those at
Universal City who thought they
had done something when they got
rid of Martin. But they were con-
sidering the middle, not the final
chapters of his success story. Some
thing new came into his life when

bought his story Sweepstakes" from
Universal shortly after they became
acquainted. The purchase was made
for price which was satisfactory to
Universal, so that Martins words to
his erstwhile producer (although
somewhat fulsome) were at least
mildly phophetic. At least Universal
was not stuck with the story.
In her divorce petition Mrs. Tone
complains that Mr. Ttone did not
like to stay at home evenings and
that she did. She says he insisted
upon spending his nights in the gay
places along Sunset strip while she
preferred more serious things. 1t

There they go again" he COM
mented bitterly. "Why can't they
take me at my word? Ever since
I came into pictures seven years
ago I have been fighting off roles
such as that. Nobody has even con-
suited me about playing Dillinger.
If they had I would have told them
what I thought-in short order. I
wonder why they think I walked
out on that other joint"
Raft was referring to his long
series of quarrels and walkouts
at Paramount, climaxed recently
by his omcial departure from that
lot.
Those close to Raft say fear of
what his friends and the public will
think has blasted his chances for
an outstanding career in pictures.
Had he shown a disposition to play
the game as movie casting directors
outlined it, he might have estab-
lished himself as the outstanding
gangster-villain of the movies. After
that -blooded, Tipping por-
trayal of the underworld henchman
in "Scarfece" he was in position
to write his own ticket.
But, instead, Raft fought dog
gedly to get heroic assignments.
Why did he do it?
I'll tell you," said George. after
those first few terror parts I played,
I went to New York for a visit.
My relatives and lot of my friends
regarded me strangely. Uncon-
sciously, they must have concluded
that those movie characterizations
reflected my real self. We prob
ably don't realize how deep an i'm
preston a movie character can
make-on some people"
On his return trip to Hollywood,
Raft was ordered by his studio to
stop of in several cities for per-
sonal appearances.
Those visits convinced me I. was
an outcast," he continued. Kids
scattered when they saw me coming
down the street. In hotel lobbies
people nudged each other, pointed
at me, whispered, and walked away
On the way back to the studio I
did some thinking. I concluded If

Pat O'Brien's Desire

An Intense One
By the Associated Press,

HOLLYWOOD.
The most disappointed man in

of Knute Rockne in the planned
film biography of the famous coach,
will be Pat O'Brien.
He has been pretty definitely
promised the part, but sometimes
events occur to rob" stars of the
role they most want.
"There've been roles 1 liked and
wanted to play" says O'Brien, but
this is the only one I'd give any
thing to have"
O'Brien's admiration of the late
Rockne, about whom he can and
will talk at length, is an inspiration.
At least Robert Buckner, who is
writing the story, says it is. He
frequently confers with the probable
portrayer of the Notre Dame man
because of his persuasive eloquence. "
