In Hollywood

~HOLLYWCOD-If this is to be
a story about Bill Cagney, you
may as well know at the beginning
that the newest of Hollywood's i'm
portant producers used to be in
the women's underwear business,
or lingerie game"
That chapter conforms to the
faltering tradition that movie
makers are a bunch of former
cloak = and = suffers, furriers, or
pantie peddlers. Actually, though,
it has nothing to do with his
emergence as producer of Brother
Jimmy Cagnery's pictures. Bill
Cagney belongs to what is locally
termed 1.-The new order" of film
executives, which means that he
is articulate, educated, and ex.
p%erienced.
His background includes a col
lege law degree, a flyer at theatre
cal pressagentry, a voluntarily ter
minated career as a movie actor
and several years as the business
agent of his stellar relative. He's
still guiding the new but thriving
conquest of the flickers by their in
genue sister, Jean.
PITCHFORKED INTO
ACTING CAREER
During all of his eight years
in Hollywood, Bill Cagney planned
tc become a producer. His business
program was delayed at the be-
ginning because people wanted him
tc act for them. I'D never done
a lick of it," he said, land I had
less desire to perform than any.

But jim, who's a fanatic about
physical condition, had insisted
that 1 get into good shape. So I
looked fairly good and was full
Of pep, and I found that nobody'd
talk to me about any job except
aotine-especially since the name
VS. Cagney."
He talked to his brother about
it and said he felt that it might
be an infringenet on Jimmy's pres
tige. Jimmy surprised him by urg,
ing him to try. IF you're bad.
they'll catch up with you mighty
quick" he told Bill. If you're
good, then it's okay, anyway"
The newcomer was tested and
signed at Columbia. Frank Bor-
cage wanted him for the lead in
"a Mans Castle" but others op-
posed the choice and arranged an
other test. For this one, the green
candidate was put into a bed with
a beautiful actress and told not
to move while reciting some lines
in a very bored voice. AS if that
situation-impossble today under
Hays Office rule-were not suffi.
GENTLY upsetting, the bed itself
broke down several times. Bill
Cagney lost the role to an upstart
named Spencer Tracy.

AS PRODUCER
Next he was signed by RKC
but remained idle until it began
to rent him to other studios. He

the state will formally open and
dedicate Morrow Mountain State
park, in Stanly county; near Abe
marie.
An all-day program has been ar
ranged, highlighted by the address
of Paul v. McNutt, Social Security
administrator and until the war
pushed politics out of the limelight
a much talked about presidential
prospect.
The program will start in Abe
marie at 10:30 Saturday morning,
with a parade extending to the park.
At noon there will be a barbecue
dinner for invited guests. At 2:30
McNutt will do his dedicating.
North Cardinals No. 1 speaker,
as we'll as citizen, Governor Clyde
R. Hoey, will be present as well as
many other notables such Al Rep
resentative Farmer Bob Doughton
and State WPA Administrator W. P.
McGinnis.
There seems to be no holding of
any event nowadays without selec-
ton of a queen, and the park dedi-
cation will be no exception. Besides
that there will be a water carnival,
an archery exhibition, a swimming
and diving exhibition and a forest
fire control demonstration.
Judge r. R. Ingram of Albemarle
is chairman of the committee which
did all this arranging.
In Morrow Mountain, the popu-
lous Piedmont gets its first state
park. Two others have been formally
opened elsewhere.
Incidentally, the way to get to
Morrow Mountain is by taking
Route 81. It's about 40 miles east
of Charlotte and within easy reach
by motor of Greensboro, High Point
and other cities of the Piedmont.
Thomas w. Moore, superintendent
Of state parks, wakes quite enthu-
siastic when he talks about Morrow
Mountain park:
ut isn't just another Playground
he says, but a vast area in which
hundreds of thousands of careworn
individuals may commune with ma
ture, relax from routine life and
find many forms of outdoor recrea-
ton to build up their bodies and
refresh their minds"
When he speaks of vast area
Moore is right by comparison with
all the other state parks. Morrow
Mountain is by far the largest.
It includes Abs acres in the wv
barrie mountains. Most of its acre
age was donated by public-spirited
citizens, who gave 1920 acres, in
Guiding the mountain itself. Mr.. and
