Ann Sothern - remember how
dreary she was as an ingenue?
Louis Hayward was believable in two
very different characterizations in
'The Man in the Iron Mask"
And Charles Chaplin attempts the
same chore in his forthcoming film.
So it can be done. 1t is possible to
change!
Here are the new people on my
must see" 1910 calendar: Ingrid
Bergman, whose personality in IN
termezzo," her first American film,
was like a fresh breeze in the arid
Hollywood dessert; Vivien Leigh
please give us lots of Vivien Leigh
in 1940-this girl can act the curls
off most of Hollywood's lady stars;
Greer Carson, who has made only
two films in two years here, but
gave promise of non-boring qualities
in '"Mr. Chips; Jane Bryan-or
maybe this treat is now impossible
her new husband, Justin Dart, of
Chicago is credited with a deter
mination to keep his bride off the
screen.
I like Jeffrey Lynn. It's true he
is rather the same in each of his
pictures, but his personality is very
easy on the onlooker. imagine he
would wear" well in real life, too.
.. I'd like to see more of Margot
Stevenson. That brief glimpse of
how i, tho Do off-nryop ,,;ot,,ro 0T,,
visible Stripes was impregnated
with promise.
And if Hollywood does not make
good use of Betty Field in 1910 it
will be typical of Hollywood's blind
ness. In "Of Mice and Men" Betty
wins her acting spurs-to put it
mildly. I know very few so-called
stars who could have equaled her
performance. In the same picture
Roman Bohnen, playing Candy,
gave show that was better than
anything done in the past year by
all the Laughtons, NUNS, Taylors
and Powers. And I devoutly hope
Hollywood will not let him return to
his Theater Group in New York.
Of course, there are still some
"old" faces that don't exactly give
me pain to watch on the screen.
There's Spencer Tracy-will we ever
get tired of him? Il don't think
so) Mickey Rooney if he
does mug" abominably, it will be a
long time before he pals. And just
try to keep me away from a Cary
Grant picture. BY the same token,
don't get me to go to a Doug Fair
banks picture-unless he stops being
Doug Fairbanks in favor of the
person he is portraying.
I can watch Edward G. Robinson
until the cows come home. Sure,
he's Robinson in most of his pictures
but it's such a good Robinson.
Ditto for James Cagney.

rumDd. But CQOSe are dS QlIuCulC
melodies to remember as swing
rhythms, although the rumba is
really little more than jazzy one
step.
What they are really looking for
are the sweet melodies. Because
people can remember melodies and
ballads. Swing, and often the rum
ba and conga, are either too COM
plicated, or too much improvised,
to be remembered long. The one
theme that has survived them all
through the years is the fox trot
with its love interest tempo.
George Gershwin made his
Rhapsody in Blue the popular clas-
sic it is when he went back and
inserted that broad, slow strain
the andante movement-into the
bars where he first had it. That
movement gave his staccato bars
just the contrasting melody they
needed to soften them into tune
that once heard could be remem-
bered."
Gershwin had the andante move
ment in his original composition
and then eliminated it. His lyricist
brother, Ira, and Ferde Grofe, who
orchestrated most of Gershwin's
numbers, persuaded him to restore
the movement.
This current trend of orchestra
leaders to change their style, and
the style of popular music,
isn't a novelty.
Will Osborne, who succeeded to
the Broadway spot once held by
Artie Shaw's Band until Shaw sud-
denly abdicated a few weeks ago,
is a leader who has remained in
the top-fight bands for more than
10 years because he is quick to
sense any change in style trend
and just as quick to adapt his own
music to the new mood.
II started as a crooner in the
days of crooners," he said. II have
changed MY style and the style of
my band a half dozen times since.

There undoubtedly will be upsets
in this Hollywood forecasting ticket
but it shows what could happen
on the night of February 20. If
such a slate did carry, only a few
crumbs would remain to be scattered
to the remainder of the angry pack.
These include divisions for which

number occasionally. But melody
will be the mood in 194O."
While swing and rumba have
been popular with listeners when
played by orchestras, they have
never been near as popular as sweet
melodies in sales of sheet music and
phonograph records.
"Siboney," one of the most pop
ular of rumbas, sold very few copies
of the song. But Pagan Love Song
sold a million copies; Good Night
Sweetheart sold 800, 900 capies, and
When the Moon Comes Over the
Mountain" sold 100000.
All three are sweet music.
Where a typical swing number
like Hold Tight" sold only $4,000
copies, the average sale of a sweet
number is 250,OO0 copies. A sweet
music song like II Cried for You"
was revived after it had been dor
mant for Is years and sold 275, 900
copies in 1889.

quarters that Gone With the Wind"
will clean up statuettes in dozen
different clasSificationS, including
all the important ones.
Here is the way Hollywood in
general predicts the results that will
be flashed out from the bowl on
the night of February 20:

Inn," or the brutal Capt. Bligh in
"Mutiny on the Bounty" and then
find out with the first flash of
Laughton that he is merely playing
Laughton in some one else's clothes.
I wish Norma Shearer would find
it not impossible to refrain from
being herself in each of the sup
posedly different roles she plays.
What essential difference was there
in Norma's Marie Antoinette, or her
Juliet? She was still the Norma
Shearer we have seen in countless
films. True, she wore yellow wig
in idiots Delight" but that didn't
fool me. She was still Norma
Shearer playing Norma Shearer.
She was little different in "The
Women not different enough.
Maybe I'm asking too much. May
be it isn't possible for star to be
a new some one in each new picture.
But, then, how to account for Rob-
ert Montgomery's metamorphosis in
"The Earl of Chicago? No one was
more tired of Robert Montgomery
playing Robert Montgomery than
Montgomery himself. But he had
insight enough to realize that his
screen days were numbered unless
he got away from that cocktail
shaker. Not only did Bob abandon
the drawing room, but he abandoned
Montgomery. In 'The Earl of Chi
cago," Bob succeeded in getting
himself a different face, different
voice and a different personality.
He is definitely on my list of people
I want to see in 1910.
I am told that Joan Crawford
gives a good account of herself in
Strange Cargo" That's what I
was afraid of. I'd like her to give a
good account of some one else. I'd
like her to get away from being
Joan Crawford. But it isn't fair
to Judge her without seeing the
picture. So I'll keep my fingers
crossed and hope that Joan comes
through in a part in which she
should be night club entertainer
of questionable morals and not
Joan GRAVEYARD playing night club
entertainer, etc.
Marlene Dietrich managed to be
interesting in 'Destry Rides Again"
for the simple reason that, for this
one picture, she managed to evade
herself playing herself. Not entire
ly, of course, but enough to make me
hope that her new boss, Joe Paster-
max of Universal, will forever for
bid the temperance of that old
languorous, camera-conscious, bor-
ing Marlene.
Carlo laughed in "Ninotchka"
and created a new stratum of film
admirers. And now, I suppose, she'll
laugh in her next 10 films and lose
them. You might well ask, What else
is there to do but laugh or cry?
All I know Is that Montgomery
managed something else. So did

Although these men are al the

much like racial discrimination"
BASED upon their seniori'y."
said Attorney Cecil Rowlettc,

Members OF the Civil Sers,ce
Commission explained that promo

workers. Seniority. they explained,
was only used when workers were
laid on.
Representatives OF the DSR pro-
duced the records TO prove that Gre

last February. However, Johnson
countered that this promotion was
made after the Ming OF the letter
OF protest by Senator Digs.
Although the Civil Service Com

were not within their province as
they only passed on the workers
after their records had been sub

However, they suggested that
