Apology To The Buzzard

This new war, which was originally describ-
ed as an Italian invasion of Greece, has in the
few days of its existence turned out to be a
Greek invasion of Albania, which the Italians
occupy.
New dispatches from the Balkans say that
80 $1,000 Italian troops are practically surround
ed at Koritza, one of their principle supply
bases, that 1900 Italian prisoners have been
taken, that Italian communication lines have
been broken in general that the Italian push
has begged down.
Thus Mussolini offers one more example OF
his impotent leadership. We once called him

Sandwiched in between was ar

of the character or tonnage Of the

however, was almost exactly that
of the Rangitiki. 1t was assumed

NEW YORK Nov. 5.-Let's talk
| about Sabu for a little while today.
You know Sabu, don't you? He is
the 16-year-old boy from Mysore,
India, who is lei occasionally in
New York and more often in Hol-
lywood, walking around the streets
with a red turban r.
Sabu is an actor. He was the
hero Of Elephant Boy" More
lately, he is one Of the stars of the
fable out of the Thousand and One
Nights, The Thief. of Bagdad." 1t
has a marvellous role for Sabu,
who realizes it and is grateful for
his opportunity.
Sabu is in this country because
he is under contract to Mr.. Alex
ander Korda, husband of Merle
Oberon and a producer of note
worthy films. They were filming
Thief in London but left to COM
plete it in America when the war
became tough.
Says Satu: 1T was fun, work
ing in England, but I'll never see
that studio again" If you ask him
Why, he says: IT'S next door to
the Spitfirc factory. That's what
I'd like to fly, a Spitfire. I Use to
go : there all the time and climb
into the cockpits. I'd Ike to join
the R.. A. F. and fly a Spitfire."
Sabu's last name is Dastagir.
With him is his brother, Shaik.
After their parents died, when Sa-
bu was three, his brother became
the '~baby's" legal guard l. To
support him he drove a taxicab.
Many things have happened since
those days.
At sixteen Sabu has become a
ranking player and soon will go
into the production of jungle
Boy" He lives in Beverly Hills
at an ,,ddress on North Curzon
street. His tutor a former CCC
boy, puts him through q vigorous
scholastic program three hours of
every day. That is California law.
The tutors name is Austin Men
zies, and Menzies says Sabu is a
good student.
A couple of weeks ago Sabu,
with June Duprez, tie English ac-
tress, few from Hollywood to
Warm Springs, George. They
went down there for the world
premiere of The Thief of Bag
dad" In many ways this was the
strangest premiere ever put on.
Inste: of arriving in ermines and
limousines, the spectators came in
wheel = chairs and on stretchers.
You see, this was given under the
auspices of FDR for the patients
at the Warm Springs Foundation.
There were no outsiders or fanfare
at all. 1t wasn't a commercial
gesture. 1t was just an idea that
brought a lot of happiness to a lot
of nice people who do not have
too many opportunities to see the
| glitter side of present day life.
Sabu and Miss Duprez were the
real heroes of the occasion. Sabu
went swimming with the patients
in the famous waters of the pools
of Warm Springs, and Miss Du-
PREF busted herself visiting those
who were unable to be about, even
on stretchers. signing autographs
and photographs. They loved her
for it..
When it was over, Sabu and June
Duprez flew back to hollywood.
Sabu has a girl there; she's a
senior ir high school. On Friday
nights he takes her to the movies,
or even to Malibu for vicente
roaSts.
Il like that he exclaimed.
Only they don't let me stay up
late enough They make me go to
bed by midnight"
Life can be cruel to an Elephant
Boy, even a little Thief of Bag
dad. why, you're just beginning
to have sun by midnight" Sabu
says. /

Sights And Sounds
In Hollywood
BY ROBIN O

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. Sit may
sound a little wacky, but I've just
talked to an actor rejoicing over
a failure.
eff 1 had been a ucces in
that" he fairly gloated, to-day
I'd be back in New York, maybe
on the stage, maybe just looking
for a job. Instead I'm here and :"
The actor was William Gar
gan, redheaded son of Brooklyn.
That was a picture called RAIN"
made some ten years ago and
still a bit of a headache to Joan
Crawford, its star, as we'll as to
Gargan, who drew it as his first
picture assignment.
Gargan is very much here, 10
years after Rain pitter-pattered
a tiny. disheartening tune at the
box office. Gargan is here because
his work in They Knew What
They Wanted" even before its gen
eral release, has landed him two
fat jobs with more in the offing.
The first is Cheers for Miss Bish-
op," in which he's opposite the
screens answer to Helen Hayes,
our Martha Scott. To be cast in
a movie with her today is like
hitting the jackpot. When a lead
ing man says Great Scott" he's
thinking of Martha.
When I came out to make
Rain 1 knew everything" says
Bill Gargan. Il could have told
everybody in Hollywood how to
make pictures. Maybe 1 did. But
if Rain had been a hit, I'll bet
it would have gone straight to my
head and there'd have been no
living with me.
Fortunately for me, Rain died.
1t collapsed and I stumbled with
it. So I, had to do it the hard way.
You know how many pictures I've
worked in since then? Exactly 66
good, bad, Indifferent, BIS and
A-minuses, and some C's and rs
too.."
If handing out credit to others
for his own good fortune is a clear
sign of being able to take it,"
Gargan can. He losses the bou-
quets for his own work in They
Knew What They Wanted into
the lap of Carson Kanin, the di-
rector. There" reports Bill Gar
gan, lis a sweet guy, and a smart
one"
But a better sign of a level-head-
ed Gargan is the fellow himself.
Most actors are uncertain, even
after seeing their pictures. as to
what they've done on the screen.
Bill, after seeing it, was more than
uncertain. He was perplexed.
Il can't get any idea," he said.
Been too close to it all along to
get a clear picture how it looks.
All I can go by is what they tell
me and I hope it's true. One thing
worried me-the way some people
laughed during that love scene l
had with Carol Lombard. My
wife tells me it was just kids who
laughed, and not to mind 'em. You
think so too? I hope it's true.
l don't believe Bill realized it,
put this picture does for him what
mas already been done for a few
others, mainly Gable. In They
knew What They Wanted" he
steals his best pals girl. What
they've given him that he didn't
nave before is MENACE. They

eye, SO that it lights the otherwise
