HOLLYWOOD, Nov. IL. CUP)-
It seems incredible, as if the mil
lenium had arrived, but we are
able to report today that for the
first time in the history OF the
motion picture industry there is in
production a movie wherein the
reporter-hero does not sass the
managing editor.
This reporter, as played by Cary
Grant, has a perfectly good hat.
He's got his pants pressed. He does
not have pint flask of whiskey
in his inside coat pocket, nor a
CODY of the American Mercury IN
his hand.
! He doesn't even resemble vaguely
| the standard newsman of the
movies. He looks and acts like a
real reporter and he's a pretty
decent gent. You movie fans would
be surprised about newspapermen.
They're human beings. They really
Pare.
And for once we're going to have
such a reporter in the movies" re-
ported producer director George
Stevens on the set of Penny
Serenade."
He said the movies had done a
lot of damage in their day to cops,
lawyers, night club inpressarios,
truck drivers, and others, but that
reporters had suffered worst of all.
I'VE even we're tough on Mexi-
cans until they cracked down, y
he said. "Yet every picture has
got to have a villain and it usually
has to have fool. Newspapermen
we're good guys and didn't kick, no
matter how the movies portrayed
them so the movies gave them the
works and made newspapermen a
race apart"
There have been fond mothers
who wouldn't let their daughters
marry reporters, simply because of
what they saw on the screen. For
that matter we remember about
two years ago getting a part in
movie as an extra, as a subject
to write about.
The casting Office put us down as a
newspaper reporter in a mob, wait
ing in the dressing room of a
great star on broadway to inter-
view her. So we went to the studio
had our face painted yellow and
reported to the director.
you won't do he said. You
don't look like a reporter" And SC
on such items about reporters, as
Hollywood sees them, are legion.
"As far as 1 can see" Stevens
said reporters are like people ir
any other business. There are good
ones and lazy ones and bad ones

Last year Walter obtained adop-

was introduced, he said, because
WPA officials said the 1910 rGstric-

Sen. Alva 3. Adams, D., Colo,
