any screen player. Moreover, there
are very few scenes in which he
does not appear, with the result that
he occupies a film footage that sets
a new, record for Hollywood.
Prom "a newspaper feature story
exclusive in your (our) city" it is
impossible to resist the following
quotation from Dorothy Lamour,
heroine of the exclusive story:
New York Is vast, huge, busting
and interesting. Hollywood sprawls
lazily over the hillside. New York
is an upside-down world, with peo-
pie crawling in subways or soaring
into the sky in skyscrapers. Holly
wood is out IN the open, in the sun
light and air. Lyrical ecstasy,
whatO New Workers seem to sleep
in the daytime and work or play at
night. Hollywood works hard dur
ing the day and, as in any small
town, hits the hay early.
TOO often people are prone to
think of Hollywood as some sort of
a glittering, celestial city and its
players as being from another world.
We're home folks, like anybody else,
and we're pretty proud of our small
town"
Stay West, young woman.
"Juarez" will remain a second
week at the Earle, very logical de-
velopment in view of the fact that
1t is the best of the pictures which
ever have had that distinction. =.
There have been four of them in
10 years. Robert Young says
he prefers the movies to the stage
because I'm getting what I most
want, variety in my roles" &.
That's a nice way to sum up years
OF experience being the fellow who
loved and lost the girl. At that,
1t was a variety of girls which Mr..
Young lost in that long cycle of pic
lures. :. It takes just one reading
to develop an affection for the fol-
lowing sentence culled from a bit
Of promotion for the picture men,
toned: Maisie' not only had the
wild and woolly West eating out of
her hand on the screen, but she
took over the newspaper reviewers
and the self-appointed preview crit
les like Grant took Richmond at
the initial showing of the picture in
Hollywood this week"

There is precedent for assuming

sHer two associates in the enterprise
of turning the stage play into a pic

ito facing the facts of life. With that
kind of support, Miss Bankhead
ought to make audiences forget her
previous treatment in Hollywood.
