That Fugitive
From Swing
Returns
Artie Shaw Leads
A Band Again in
New Picture
Returns
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD.
The noted fugitive from swing,
Artie Shaw. is returning to the
band-leading profession with res
ervations.
He will start with a new band on
the Burns and Allen N. B. c. radio
program the night Of Monday.
July i.
He will purvey dance music again,
but in more variety" he said today.
Weary Of Jitterbugs.
Last year Shaw, a clarinet vir-
tuoso with tones hot and haunt
ingly sweet, renounced band leading
in vocal blast at the jitterbug
trend. He expressed himself, in
effect, as fatigued by acrobatics CT
wild-eyed young men and bare
legged. short-pantied girls.
He was depressed by their lin
tied contrapuntal horizon.
Thus to Mexico he fled for time
to the more composed philosophical
climate of the ancient Aztecs.
To Do His Best.
Today, Shaw said he would rather
forget his aggravated reactions Of
last year-that he is going to play
again the best I know how"
He is to do a movie with Fred
Astaire, starting July 10. In the
picture he will appear as band
leader In his own name and will
score his own music.
Shaw's radio band of about 20
will be recruited from musicians
here, he said. His old band went
ahead under leadership Of the first
saxophonist, Tony Pastor.
Shaw also is the husband Of Film
Actress Lana Turner. He married
her last February.

she was made to say by the script

Charles Boyer carried on nobly un-
til almost the last of the picture.
What he did then is still national
scandal in France and the climax
of Rachel Fields best seller.

in a most extraordinary way.

Bette Davis one day on the set.
He was the only actor who could
play the role"
Which makes it all practically
unanimous. 1t also makes our COM
plants, if. indeed, they are COM
plants. sound foolish. Charles
who can never be just Chuck to
either you or us-Boyer has every

If ever a lad took a beating in
Hollywood, that lad was Taylor.
Unknown one day, the high school

rapidly and hit the skids with equal

years list found him nowhere about.
He was ribbed mercilessly about his

idol
Some say the "virile" treatment
given him-yanking him out of

ford" Roar of the Crowd" and
stand Up and Fight"-did the
trick.
What really happened was that
Evening star., 1940-06-16

Taylor, somewhere en- route between
mere bewildered youth and his
present success, developed a sense
of humor. He never could under
stand why, when fellow was just
trying to get along and mind his
own business, keeping his feet on
the ground and putting on no airs,
he should be picked on. But he
learned to laugh it off, and-as
usually happens II the picking
stopped. A girl named Stanwyck,
who has been Mrs. Taylor for a
year now, doubtless had much to do
with the change, for If there's q
level head and a laugh in town, Mrs.
Taylor has both.
This Taylor boy, despite WA
terloo Bridge still has no great
ideas about his art" He wants to
stay away from the juvenile stuff if
he can, but he's plenty happy to
keep on doing as he's told by the
boss. His next picture: Flight

TO the MOVIES.
Pictures, Mitchell points out, are
almost invariably much better done
than stage productions.
The reason is obvious" he says.
"Studios have more money to spend
because they reach such a tremen-
dous audience. They can do things
over and over until they're perfect
With their resources they can get
the very best actors, writers and di-
rectors.
1.-The result is that when you see
the average picture it's much better
than the average play. The screen
has many advantages over the
stage"
Currently Mitchell is playing one
Of the leading roles in John Ford's
Argosy perturbation of "The Long

1.-The picture is an adaptation of
four one-act plays by Eugene
ONeill," he says. "All of them have
the same characters. They were
coupled together on the stage for a
full evenings entertainment, but not
more than few thousand people
ever saw them.

Story of a Dude Ranch.
II you walk into Jolson's home.
which looks over peaceful Central
Park, in the midtown section of
Manhattan, you will find Davis
there. Also you'll find Jolson, a tidy
man and dapper dresser, toying with
a As pistol which is the model for
one to be used by his chorus in a
wild west number.
Also you'll find Frank Holmes, his
valet for Is years, who knows prac-
tically everything of Importance to
Jolson, and you'll find Catherine
Littlefield. the Philadelphia dance
director, who was drafted into the
Jolson ranks after he saw the ele-
CANT dances she staged in the
American Jubilee" show at the
Worlds Fair.
The story of Hold on to Your
Hats" which has Martha Raye and
Ruby Keeler as fetching feminine
supports, is the story Gf one can
make any sense out of a musical
show rehearsaD of a dude ranch
that gets into trouble and is saved
by the Lone Rider of the plains, a
dashing fellow, played by Jolson.
Jolson, despite his long absence
from the stage, is still the perfect
trouper. The first day of rehearsals
he knew all his lines and never had
to call for his script for a cue. When
not rehearsing his lines, he dashed
downstairs to piano to rehearse his
musical lines.
Certainly I work." Jolson yells, as
rehearsals boom forward. This is
big show and there are lot of
money and people tied up in it,
Jolson won't admit that it's his
money, and that most of the people
are on his personal staff. He'll just
admit that it's his show.
