STATE

After a triumph Seven-day en-
gagement, "Knute Rockne - All
American" will come to a close to-
morrow evening at the Warner Bros.
State theater. Pat O'Brien is starred
in the title role with Gale Page,
Ronald Reagan and Donald Crisp.
On the same big show is I'm No
body's Sweetheart Now" with Helen
Parrish and Dennis O'Keefe.
And then starting Wednesday the
State will usher in 1940s greatest
dramatic thrill, "They Knew What
They Wanted" with Carole Lombard
and Charles Laughton in the CO.
starring leads.
The film is an impressive and
emotional version of the late Sidney
Towards Pulitzer winning play of
the same title.
Laughton is reported to have one
of the most powerful roles of his
brilliant career as a boisterous, I'M
lettered but loveable vinyardist who
wants to marry, now that he feels
he is successful and can offer a
good wife everything she desires.
Miss Lombard takes the role of a
lonely waterfront waitress with
whom he corresponds and offers
marriage and life of ease on his
California grape ranch.
The good-natured rancher, how
ever, doesn't reckon with the habits
of his amorous foreman, as well as
an unfortunate accident that befalls
him the night before his own we'd
ding. Subsequent events make for
a gripping, compelling offering, said
to send its two famous stars to even
higher places in the cinema heavens.
Others in the giant cast include
William Gargan, Frank Fay, Harry
Carey and Victor Kilian.
And for your further enjoyment
the management will present a de-
Nghtful laugh hit titled Mexican
Spitflre Out West" with Lupe Velez
and Leon Enrol in the featured roles.
Make date now to see this splen-
did show at the State starting We'd
nesday. It's a show that you won't
forget for a long time.

Paul Mum Works Hard On Roles, And Then
Never Reads What Critics Say About Him

That's for others to appraise," he
said. 81 don't want to appear
either boastful or modest"
What interested me most was
discovering that Paul NUM- doesn't
know what people have been saying
about him. In matters of Holly
wood opinion and publicity, he's as
naive as Baby Sandy. I'll stake
both my tipping fingers that he's to-
tally unaware ever of having Of
Tended a correspondent with his
aloofness or that anyone considers
him a maddeningly meticulous &C.
centric.
It isn't temperament of affecta-
ton that makes him behave the way
he does. It's a single-track mind.
For example, he said, "1t would be
impossible for me ever to produce or
direct my own pictures"
Termination of his Warner con-
tract was a sensation locally, but
MUM regards it casually. It was
simply that they couldn't agree on
stories and schedules, and he
doesn't in the least blame the stu
dio. He should have been free
lancing all along, as he is now =
either doing pictures that satisfied
him or not working at all.
TWO HOUSES
NO SLEEP
Producers have sent him script
to read, but he doesn't expect to
work for a few months. MUM is
always rather frazzled after finish
ing role, and in speaking of his
homes he told a story that shows
what happens to his nerves.
Before beginning 1--WE Are Not
Alone" he had rented his ranch
and bought big house near the
beach, too far south for daily COM
muting. So he rented a place al
Toluca Lake, near the studio, only
to discover it was hemmed in b!
crying kids, bowling dogs and chronic
party-givers.
| After enduring those for awhile
and getting pretty haggard from
arising sleepless with the dawn
he rushed out one evening ant
went to a hotel. They put hin
next to an elevator shaft. Abou
a. M, a half-dressed and half
crazy MUM stormed into the lobby
paid his bill and rushed off to tn
studio. On a rickety couch in
chilly dressing room, he flung him
self down under a topcoat.
Movie star, indeed!" he reflected
bitterly. "I've worked hard 80 year
for comfort and security. Now
practically in my dotage, I've go
two fine homes, a rented house ant
considerable money - yet I'm dis
, heveled, shivering wreck. Not TO
all possess could I buy four hour
of rest"
Pretty soon he got to laughing
, about it. Then he felt better ant
slept.

Hollywood - Paul NUM- never
reads movie stuff, so 1t will cause
him no embarrassment If I say what
I think Of him.
I think he's an awfully nice guy.
Shy, amazingly introverted for an
actor, jittery, and rather painfully
idealistic. For instance, he not
only breads interviews but can't
bear to read about himself. He
worries so much about his acting
that, after viewing a silent makeup
test, he never sees a foot OF the
film.
Watching the ruShes would only
make him dissatisfied and upset,
so he works hard in preparation,
goes through each scene as many
times as a director will permit,
and hopes one of the takes may
be acceptable.
MUM has just finished "Hudson'S
Bay Company" at 20th-Fox. This
is an adventure story, sort of sub
arctic western which scarcely calls
for his type of finely-shaded his
tronics. Yet he worked at it as if
it were a "Pasteur" or a "zola," go
ing over each line again and again
with a recording machine at night,
experimenting in tempo and inflec-
ton and mood.
