AS vain little vixen from Park
avenue, Anita changed her stripes
completely and appears in line now
for assignments where acting and
not baby stare is the chief re-
quirement.
The shift in personality has mot
been confined to slipping feminine
stars. The males, too, have been
~groping for new characterizaticns
and different methods OF expressing
themselves. They haven't been
pressed nearly so hard as the fcmi-
nine contingent, for good looking
leading men of talent find little
competition from sparse invading
ranks, but nevertheless they want
to be prepared
If Daytime Wife" can be tabled
as an indicator of what he will do
in the future. then Tyrone Power
has definitely renounced his pom
derous and much criticized career as
a maker and breaker of empires in
favor of light, modern co.nedy-and
the change will be welcomed.
Another 1889 leopard is Fred Mac
Murray, who in three years of star
dom has never been rated more than
a $3.50 leading man. But in Hon
eymoon in Bali" Fred surprised his
most enthusiastic hackers by playing
a straight dramatic role with high
powered punch. He'll doubtless con-

1t is a little hard to decide if
Paramount houses an under-cover
dictator. The male actors here are
a negligible factor-performers like
Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Bob Burns,
Bing Crosby may think they have
big say-so on how and what they
do, but, just between you and me,
they are little boys in school obey
ing teacher.
The most important ladies at
Paramount, from a box-oflce point
of view, are Claudette Colbert, Mad
eleine Carroll and Dorothy La
mour. Miss Colbert is the nearest of
the trio to the human translation
of sacred cow" She has been
known to refuse role and get away
with it. She has also been known to
tell her director how she wants to
play a part-and get away with it.
Claudette is the best actress at
Paramount-which explains her
privileges.
Here's funny one Carole Lom-
bard is a boss only when she works
at the Selznick studio. At Para
mount, R-K-O or Warmers, she is

David Selznick is a smart man. He
prefers to avoid the expense of
keeping priced players under
contract, but he makes sure Of get
ting them when he wants them, by
treating Miss Lombard, Colman,
etc., as little tin gods when they are
on his lot.
There is only one boss at Colum-
bia-and he's not an actor, but a
director-Frank Capra :. Deanna
Durbin is the big shot at Universal
she is treated as something ex~
ceedingly fragile and precious
Only big name at R-K-O is Ginger
Rogers, who demands Ittle-except
a big salary.
Front-ranking stars at Twentieth
Century-Fox are Tyrone Power,
Henry Fonda, Alice Faye, Sonia
Eenie and Shirley Temple. This is
the only studio in Hollywood where
a producer, and not a star, is boss.
I refer to Daryl Zanuck. It is q
waste of career for his acting pup
pets to step out of place. To my
knowledge, there have been only
two suspensions at the studio-Si-
none Simon-no longer a Holly
wood film actress-and the Ritz
Brothers, no longer with Fox.

Henry King, the director, will wind
up a picture in a few days and be
off on another of his aerial tours
of the country to see how the boys
who run the theaters are getting
along.
King, quiet-spoken and conserva-

And to do it he goes into what
Hollywood fondly calls the "hinter-

He talks with the managers, gets
their ideas.
FIRST" he says, "I' enjoy it. I've
made hundreds of fine friends that
way. But more important, it tells
me what's wrong with our pictures;
what the movie public likes. The
glamour and back-slapping in Holly
wood is gone. It's mighty valuable. u
