Mr.. Wanger
Plays Fair
With Sheean
Won't Trade on
Authors Fame
To Sell Film
By Robin C0ons,
Associated Press Staff Writer.
HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD.
Here's a new angle on the old
feud between movie writer's and
movie producers.
Here's producer who bought
best-seller-and paid some S50,0OO
for it-but isn't going to do any
thing about it. He isn't going to
adapt" it; he isn't going to write
a new story" for its title; he isn't
going to use it's authors name; in
short, he isn't even going to film
the story. Not for a long time,
anyway.
It's all the latest quirk in the
strange history of Personal His
tory" the film that was but isn't.
The producer is Walter Wanger
Four years ago Wanger bought the
screen rights to Vincent Sheean's
record of his adventures as re-
porter abroad in the postwar period
which was really pre-war period
Four years ago Wanger started
working up a screen play from the
Sheean material He didn't know,
at the beginning, that he was start
ing on a race against time-and
history that wasn't personal.
The upshot was that by early
1910 various high-priced writer's had
completed seven different treat
ments designed to capture the sub
stance of Sheean's record for the
cameras.
Started Over.
About as quickly as one treatment
was completed it had to be discarded
because faster-moving events had
dated" the written scenes.
After script 7 Wanger engaged
roly-poly Alfred Hitchcock to direct
Personal History" But A. Hitler
was meving faster than A. Hitch
cock. A. Hitchcock put aside what
had been done and started over.
The picture, now completed to the
tune of $1,500,000 exclusive, Wanger
says, of the $200,000-odd spent on
previous scripts, bears no resem-
blance whatever to Personal His
tory" unless you count that heroes
in both instances were foreign cor
respondents. Early in production
they even changed the title to
Foreign Correspondent"
But here's the new angle:
Wanger is telling Sheean, in ad-
vance, that any similarity between
his book and Wanger's movie is
purely coincideptal He is telling
Sheean that some day they'll really
make a movie of Personal History"
when "the world gets back some
semblance of Its old self, or at least

Horses Are Safer

Bob Steele would rather fall of

NEW YORK

NEW YORK.
The summer theaters, those verdant
playhouSes that crowd into the VAL
leys leading to Broadway, have
achieved certain liberty which is
denied to the few top-f1ight shows
that still remain on the White Way.
In the de luxe hay lofts producer
can have star actors and high-rank-
ing authors and composers to do
shows at medium royalties where the
same show would cost a fortune in
royalties if the producer tried to
present it on Broadway. But, there
is sense in this seeming madness and
the proof is in the musical revue,
Two Weeks With Pay which Felix
Jacoves has just produced in White
Plains, N. Y, before bringing it to
Broadway when the new fall season
opens.
Here Jacoves has assembled a
revue that has Cole Porter, Rodgers
and Hart, Ira GersEwin, Johnny
Green and dozen other p-f1ight
composers contributing music Ordi-
narily a producer woulo hire Porter
or Gershwin or one of the others
mentioned to do full score without
help and feel fortunate he could re-
cruit such talent, but Jacoves hires
the star-studded mob scene.
Light and Humorous. i
He assemblies a cast that has a
few well-known names, but he gives
preference to some new faces who
probably would travel around for
years without having a chance to
show their talent before established
Broadway managers In this excel
lent musical they played to a first
night audience that was composed
mostly of Broadway producers,
critics, writer's and composers.
AS for the show itself, it is light |
and humorous revue by too many
authors to be mentioned. 1t is a
series of sketches along the satirical |
lines that distinguished THE Little |

with one sketch being a ridicule of

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Dec. 2s.-
Riding out a second successive
tropical storm" Georgetown's
Orange Bowl football warriors
staged another long, secret workout
today, but not without paying some
toll.
The rain-soaked field at Flaningo
Park was too soggy for one of
Tackle Bill Lealon's leg muscles
and the second-string Hneman, who
always sees much action, left limp
ing, although it Is doubtful if the
injury will prove serious enough to
keep him from playing New Year
Day against Mississippi State.
The same high wind which has
played hob with Georgetown work
outs ever since the Hoyas arrived
Thursday was back again with in
creased velocity. Endangering small
boats and Miami's palms, the 81
mile-an-hour wind brought with it
a rainstorm Of such severity that
morning practice was called of.
For while. in fact, it appeared
as If the drill would have to be
conducted indoors. Head Coach
Jack Hagerty was busy trying to
find an indoor site with a dirt floor
when the storm abated.
The secret drill was marked by
the introduction of several new
plays. Some are not precisely new
as they were rehearsed during the
regular season, but not used.
Miami and Miami Beach, mean
while, promised to make this Orange
Bowl game one that will be remem-
! bered for record attendance.
Possibly the football weather has
something to do with the ticket
rush. In any event, the pronounced
North-South rivalry and the rec
ords of the two teams are tending
to build up what has been called
| unprecedented interest by the ma
tives.
Indications are that, while the
rain may let up tomorrow, the
weather still will be cool. Under
ordinary circumstances this would
meet favorably with a football
team, but Georgetown. composed
almost entirely of Northerners, came
early for the game with the idea of
becoming acclimated.
Thus 1t is that the HoyaS and
their coaches and followers are
awaiting some Of that Florida sun
