Studios Stop
Changing
History
Now the Trend Is
Toward Leaving
Facts Alone
HOLLYWOOD,

HOLLYWOOD.
Hollywood has changed its mind
about history. The license 1t called
poetic has been allowed to lapse
lately. And the day has past when
historical periods were used prin-
cipally for variety's sake in the
regular output of boy-meets-girl
yarns. A crinoline once indicated
a past era. Past" was synonymous
with history" That was that.
Currently, after years of answer
ing letters of reproof for having
mixed its historical metaphors and
periods, Hollywood has learned to
interpret history in the light of the
records. An unbelievable amount of
attention is directed to the matter
OF historical accuracy. Studios have
become wary about tampering with
history since it became evident that
there were millions of excellent
memories and boner-seeking eyes
attending upon the nightly per-
formance at the Nations Bijous,
Roxys and Strands.
An occasional lapse comes along
to prove that Hollywood isn't COM
pletely infallible about history, but
the trend is toward a more thorough
adherence to facts as they are
known and retailed by the chroni-
clers.
Only recently a Warner Studio
story explained with touching right
eousness that there was no reason
for boy paul Numb to meet girl
(Bette Davis in "Juarez," one of
the studios forthcoming historical
films. 1t was related that Juarez did
not meet the Empress Carlota at
any time during the short Mexican
reign of her spouse, Emperor Maxi
milan Won Habsburg.

It is the most dancing thing this
famous star team ever has done but
y 1t Is more than that in that it re-
counts vividly the story of one of
the most colorful couples that ever
took America by storm. Anthem
ITCHY, with which the film abounds,
gives this Cinderella-P Prince Charm
ing tale charm (there's that word
again) which is irresistible.
Undoubtedly there have been cou-
Piles who lived as alluringly roman
tic lives as the dancing Castles.
Somehow or other, they lacked the
discrimination to live them in an
interval of this countrys history
when the mere fact of being seemed
so completely satisfactory. True,
there were vicissitudes. but they
were minor. The American dream
was approaching climax and life
was good, especially that of the
Castles. The whole story is recount
ed in the film, with that of the Cas-
ties being the focal point.
R-K-O has told the legend of
the Castles with commendable real
ism. 1t has not tried to evade the
fact that Vernon Castles death
wrote fms to the idyll. His gallant
end is depicted in the film and while
1t provides its most poignant mo-
ments, the most affecting are those
in which 1t is gay with the gusto
of its times. The death of that
America, whether one knew it or
merely believes it as shown in the
picture, is more moving than the
passing of the dramas hero.
IN invoking the enchantment of
the past, the story of the Castles
Evening star., 1939-05-04

makes lavish use of the music and
of course, the dances of the period
of l910-19l8 The melodious caval-
cade includes at least snatches of
40 musical numbers popular at the
time. GLOW Worm" Everybody S
Doing It." "Oh. You Beautiful Doll,
"Yama Yama Man." Come Joseph
ine," "Cuddle Up a Little Closer
and TOO Much Mustard" are a few
of them. The single new number
which Astaire sings, is titled only
When You're in My Arms"
Whether the Castles could dance
better than the Astaire- Rogers
team is something we will not fight
about with any one who remembers
, the original team. We doubt it be-
cause it seems that no one could
give more finish to the maXixe,
the Castle walk, the Castle polka,
the Texas Tommy, the rose room
tango apd the many others that are
revived for this great occasion in
film history.
The fascinating history lesson
which the film unfolds is not lin
tied to its stress upon the music and
dacing of the period. The styles are
all there. the dresses. hats, even
the cigars. They were a profound
part of the Castle influence upon
America and Europe and they are
reproduced with all the fidelity in
the proud memory of Irene Castle,
who acted as technical adviser on
every aspect of the film.
Based upon Mrs. Castles books
My Husband and MY Memories
of Vernon Castle" the story is a
backstage yarn of performer who
was lifted from the status of a
comedians stooge to an internationa.
sensation through the love of an
ambitious, fearless professional
from New Rochelle. AS the man
Vernon Castle, Astaire has an op-
portunity to be more dramatic than
in any other of his screen portraits
He comes through very handsomely
on that score, even more so in the
rich opportunity which the story
gives him to dance.
Miss Rogers, prettier than you
ever saw her, whether it is matter
of her period clothes or just that
she is maturing beautifully, also Is
more of an actress than in previous
roles. AS Irene Castle. there are
few moods which she does not have
a chance to register. She is deft
about them all.
Subordinate characters, all of
them rather familiar types, are cast
with the same discriminating eye,
Edna May Oliver makes much of the
part of hard-boiled manager with
a heart of gold. The same may be
said of Walter Brennan as a simple
hearted handy man whose antics
provide some of the most humorous
passages in the film. Lew Fields
who plays Lew Fields. the 1883
model interpreting the one of 1911
could not be better.
THE Story of Vernon and Irene
Castle" has been given sumptuous
production, but always within the
limits of the story it has to tell.
1t is an achievement of which the
screen may be proud and one which
you owe it to yourself to see.

Players Are Loyal
TOCecil De Mile

Motion picture players, as we'll as
stars, have their favorite directors.
Many of them, according to the
Paramount Studio, figure that a
small part in a Cecil B. De Mile
picture is as good as a big spot in
some average production.
In his latest picture, Union Pa
cific," which deals with the history
of the first transcontinental rail-
road and stars Joel McCrea and
Barbara Stanyck, De Mile has
crowded the cast with the names of
veterans whom he remembers from
the good old days" Most of these
people will drop anything they are
doing to work under De Mile. This
producer director repays such 10y
atty usually by finding some sort Of
screen job for members of his fol-
lowing.

Bapfists Champion
Freedom and Church
Apart From State
Fear Religion May Be
Made Subservient
To National Programs
By the Associated Press

Dy the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 24-Baptist lead
ers representing nearly 10000, 900
persons today projected a program
for 1910 to maintain separation of
church and State and preserve in
dividual freedom.
Presidents of 18 Baptist conven-
tions gathered together yesterday for
the first time in the history of the
church to frame "a pronouncement
upon religious liberty"
The theory that the church is
separate from the State, the pro-
nouncement said, is champloned by
all Baptists.
mo issue in modern life Is more
urgent or more complicated than
the relation of organized religion to
organized society" it continued, the
sudden rise of the European dicta-
tors to power has changed funda-
mentally the organic law of the gov
ernments through which they exer-
else sovereignty.
"As result, the institutions of
religion are either suppressed or
made subservient to the ambitious
national programs of these new to-
talitarian states"
The conferees agreed that the
trend of government, even in demo-
cratic countries, lies in the direction
of greater Capitalization, and that
the coercion of religious bodies"
through special taxes, the use of tax
raised funds for sectarian schools
and other means tends to unite the
church and State.
