They Finally

80 Years
Irving Cummings,

Get Together

HOLLYWOOD.
After 80 years Of wondering what
the other one looked like, Charles
Coburn and Director irving Cum
mings finally met and had q good
look at each other.
The meeting took place at 10th
Century-Fox when Coburn was cast
In an important role in Alexander
Graham Bell" which Cummings is
directing, with Don Ameche, Loretta
Young and Henry Fonda in leading
roles.
Their first indirect association
happened in 1906 when Coburn was
playing the lead In New York In
a play called Texas" When he
left the cast to accept another
engagement, Irving Cummings, then
very young leading man, was hired
to take his place playing a bold,
bad man Of the West.
All through the play every one
kept telling Cummings how Coburn
had played this or the other scene
until the name of Coburn became
an obsession. On the other hand.

Film Villain
Turns Hero
At Last
Basil Rathbone
Finally Plays
Straight Role
HOLLYWOOD.

HULL WOOD.
They've taken the wrath out of
Rathbone!
The man who put the sneer on a
paying basis. Basil Rathbone, has
graduated from heel to hero.
1t started recently in Universal's
"Son of Frankenstein." After per-
petrating some of the direst deeds
that ever thwarted Hollywoods
handsomest, Rathbone stepped into
the sympathetic title role in the
horror epic.
At that, Rathbone barely trod the
borderline between sympathy and
villainy when, carried away by
scientific fervor. he recreated the
dread Frankenstein monster. And
playing the sympathetic" lead in
picture that also starred Boris
tFrankenstein) Karloff and Bella
tDracula) Lugosi was not saying
much for the alleged hero.
However. Rathbone now gains a
straight sympathetic part in The
Sun Never Sets" Universal's sweep
ing drama of the British Empire.
The actor last year proved him.
self the first film villain in history
to shoot to stardom. Through sheer
dramatic prowess he gained huge
following despite the fact that his
fans spent most of their time kissing
him.
Rathbone was typed" But plenty
Of actors would trade places with
him If they could be typed in his
salary class.
If there is a blame to be laid for
his position in the rut of ruthless
ness, Rathbone can only place it on
himself. During the early 1920s he
was a favorite footlight leading man.
In 1925 he came to Hollywood for
his first picture. The Masked
Bride with Mae Murray. Then he
returned to New York to fulfill
stage contract, and stayed over to
play the greatest villain of them
all, Judas Not only was he the
star of the latter play, but he was
also co-author. He wrote himself
into infamy!
From that point on, Rathbone
boned up on skull-duggery. Last
year he enjoyed his greatest period
of popularity as streamlined
Simon Legree, who heckled the
heroes of THE Adventures of Robin
Hood" Dawn Patrol" and The
Adventures of Marco Polo"
He essayed an amazing character
role in IF I Were King" then ac-
cepted the part as the Son of
Frankenstein." After another &C.
centric role, that of Sherlock Holmes
in Hound Of the Baskervilles," he
has joined the ranks of the simon
pures in THE Sun Never Sets"
AS a civil servant of Great Brit
ain, administering the Gold Coast,
Rathbone plays the older brother OF
Douglas Fairbanks, jr.. and husband
of Barbara ONeil. Producer-Dlrec-
tor Rowland V. Lee, who also
piloted "Son of Frankenstein," pre-
diets that the same audiences who
leered at Rathbone will soon stand
up and cheer for him.

admission prices here are about so
per cent higher. Thus returns for
a long-run hit are much greater
here"
Wilson has staged the English
play Dear Octupus" here for $40
600. four times what 1t cost in Lon
don. and it is just about pulling
through. He has put on Noel
Coward's intimate review "Set to
Music" with minimum of scenery
for $4,000 and its prospects are
promising. But for that money, he
said, he could put on an elaborate
extravaganza in London.
AS an example of failures, here,
he cited the 1925 900 Great Lady"
which lasted 10 performances.
That's why Lee Ephraim has
offered to pay the boat fares II all
the New York critics will 90 over
to London to pass on his current
musical hit Under Your Hat" said
Wilson. "It would be like paving
about 5000 insurance premium
against possible 100000 loss here"
Experience has taught Wilson 1t is
safer to transport serious plays in
either direction across the ocean
than light comedies.
"The taste for strong meat is
pretty much the same in both coun-
tries" he said. But unpredictable
things keep happening"
He was confident when he pro-
duced Americas Pulitzer prize play
You Can't Take 1t With You" in
London. But 1t fizzled, he said, be
cause London audiences thought the
American family in the play was
just an ill-mannered lot of boors."
Last year he brought George
and Margaret" to America after it
ran two and one-half years in Lon
don. But Broadway could stand the
amiable middle-class English family
in that play only six weeks.
In contrast, Wilson was dubious
of the reception his leading COM
edian, Richard Haydn. would receive
this year in Set to Music" Haydn
initiates fish in the course of the
show and his humor, somewhere
between Cockney and refined Eng
lish. was even considered subtle for
Londoners," Wilson said. Now Haydn
is find on Broadway.

Wilson estimated his score in pro-

THE greater risk in America" he
said, lis due to the fact that it costs
three to four times as much to
