This Hecht' Did Survive

In Fact, B. II. Became an Even Larger

Vaughan Praises Bette, Too :.

Leo McCarey, Gregory La Cava,
Carson Kanin and Preston Sturges,
to mention but a few. If they need
Identification they are people who
make pictures of such humanity en-
chanting qualities as Love Affair, I"
"Stage Door," Bachelor Mother"
and THE Great McGinty.'
The director writer or
merely the director-writer seems to
be getting the results that are max
ing Hollywood the next kind Of
artistic success it has become.
Go 1t, you Hecht!
+
For anything accomplished by the
human species, including his own
contributions to 1t, Somerset Maug-
ham is man very sparing In his
praise. And, as any one knows who
has followed Vaughan closely Is
writer or listened to his bright con-
versation even briefly, he is most
sparing in his praise of actors and
actresses. In his "The Summing
Up" for example, only one actor
of all those who have participated
in Maugham's dramatic writing
career is mentioned. That one ac-
tor was old VIII Fyfe, an elderly
English character player.
All these things flash through
memory as q result Of Maugham's s
different reaction to Bette Davis in
'The Letter" OF her he says, 20
un-M -Maugham-like:
"She is incredibly good. She Is
exactly the woman had In mind
when wrote the story"
Aside to Carter Barron: Shhhhh,
but why not try to get Robert Tay-
lor, Ruth Hussey and whatever
other possible members Of the cast
here for that hemisphere premiere
of Flight Command? We are sure
you don't need the suggestion, but
remember what a WOW Mr.. T. was
when he was here three years ago
for the Presidents Birthday Ball?
And Miss Hussey. She never has
been here that we recall, and how
are the drama press people and
others ever to meet her unless the
studio finds the occasion and acts
upon it?
The premiere Of Flight Com
mand" on December II looks like q
perfect occasion.
What do you say, Mr.. B.? And
what does M-G-M say?

Selling Virginia

Hollywood, which heretofore has
favored New York, Palm Springs,
Hawaii. Mexico City and Europe as
vacation spots, today appears to
have discovered new place to get
away from it all-Virginia.
Glowing reports brought back
to the film capital by Producer
director Edward H. Griffith, Made
leine Carroll, Fred MacMurray, Marie
Wilson and others who spent a
month filming "The Southerner" on
location at Charlottesville, Va, have
aroused some real interest in the Old
Dominion as q vacation land.

buried in the potter's field which
awaits all such drivel.
In the back rooms, where people
grow happy discussing the failures
of other men, judicial minds never
were certain ITO Quito and Back"
could be quite as bad as the critics
intimated. There were some who
thought that Hecht was being
abused not merely as the author
of that lamentable piece, but also
the author of trade press ad in
which, the recollection is hazy,
Hecht seems to have Endorsed the
genius of Sam Goldwyn. Associated
with the ad was the fact that Hecht
had just been signed by Goldwyn
for a fabulous sum per annum. The
circumstantial evidence was just the
thing to make more nauseating the
lives of less rich writer's. So they
said nasty things about old Ben.
&x x*
That Hecht was not destroyed by
it all, that he shows no signs, in
deed. of having been affected by it
is the intimation of his latest work.
After a long period of seeming in
activity, he proves merely to have
been taking on more of those Hol-
lywood jobs which are supposed to
represent the degeneration of artis-
tic genius. In ANGELS Over Broad
way" his latest work. he is not
merely writer. but producer and
director as we'll.
In becoming a triple threaten in
the cinema with such fine disdain
tor those who regard it as the ulti-
mate sin, Hecht has joined up with
Hollywood's most impressive set,
artistically speaking. That is the
