Controversy
Is Recalled
By Veteran
First Plan to Make
Two.Reelers Was
Called Mad
HOLLYWOOD,


Robert z. Pop" Leonard is passing
another milestone in his colorful
career as actor, director and pro-
ducer-his 31st year since entering
the business at the old Selig- Poly
scope studio in Glendale, the origi-
nal Hollywood. Pride and Pref
udice," co-starring Laurence Olivier
and Greer Carson. which he's just
finished, is Leonard's 417th picture
ranging from one-reelers to his
Academy Award winner, "The Great
Ziegfeld."
Amusingly, Leonard says the
greatest controversy Hollywood ever
knew has long since been forgotten,
except by veterans such as himself.
1t was the raging torrent that
sprung from the first suggestion
that one-reelers be expanded to
two-reelers.
"Why, I remember people actually
thought the business was going
crazy" said Leonard. Some of the
brightest minds in the industry
several are still with us-insisted no
one would sit that long in a theater.
The argument went on for months.
If any one in that day had visioned
a picture running for four hours
as does Gone With The Wind
they'd have put him In a strait
jacket"

Tracy, to play in one Of your pic
lures some time"
Spencer: "And I would be de-
lighted to play even a butler in one
of your films, Miss Garbo."
Then Tracy played tennis with
Greta. In the afternoon he played
tennis with Marlene. Later, when
a friend asked Tracy how the girls
tennis compared, he remained the
gentleman:
Miss Dietrich has a better sense
of humor," said he.
No Glamour Need Apply.
Are there any unsophisticated,
non-oomph girls in the audience?
Harry Sherman, General Service
Studio, Hollywood, speaking:
I'm going to make nine 'Hopalone
Cassidy pictures this year and I
want q different leading lady for
Bill Boyd In each.
Il want unsophisticated types
girls with charm and some acting
ability. We can't use so-called
glamour girls. They're out Of place
In outdoor pictures. We can
actually use plain girls, II they have
sincerity Of manner and personality
on the screen.
"All Of these girls must ride. but
otherwise there are no special re-
quirements. They may be blonds,
brunettes or redheads."
Sherman, pretty sure he's combed
the field hereabouts, finds too much
glamour for the simplicity Of the
wide, open spaces.

from his first stab at motion pic
ture career to the first role which
has given him an opportunity to
do the comedy role he has always
wanted, this is Deanna Durbin's
new picture, "It's q Date"
Pidgeon first arrived in Hollywood
IN 1925. a stage singing star. In
1925 Hollywood had no use fof q
singing voice.. of course, but neither
did it have any use for Mr.. Pidgeon's
comedy aspirations. After two silent
dramas he headed back toward
Broadway. In 1880 he went West
again, got nothing but dramatic
parts and once more said good-by
Hollywood. hello Broadway.
Five years ago he decided his
singing was limiting his roles on the
stage, so gave it up. He had no
trouble with the theater's casting
directors, Immediately went IN for
light comedy in such hits as mo
More Ladies, Something Gay" and
There's Wisdom in Women"
Once more Hollywood called, and
In 1896 he went West with q con-
tract tucked in his pocket. So Hol-
lywood took the comedy star
it had signed, gave him roles
even he couldn't laugh at.
Finally he was cast in q
comedy as his last assignment. On
the strength Of his work In that
another studio signed him-and
promptly gave him the same kind
of roles he had been protesting
against. :
