Formerly an Actor,

Hal Roach, who used to be an
actor himself, can't get away from
it.
The veteran film producer, now

"Turnabout," enacts every role,
speaks every line while showing the
players how he wants 1t done. One

During this demonstration Roach

to that point, but a deep hush

Roach.

Then he would have to start all

If De Mile does not mind, and
perhaps he wont know, the thing
we are going to look for most In

an old extra whose earnest Coop
Grafton was never to be questioned,
regardless of what defects there
may have been in his acting. He
hung on the masters words with
an intensity that was exhausting
merely to watch. When the mob
was supposed to shout its rebellious
anger his voice came high and shrill
above all the others. At the end
of the scene, when "cut" had been
called he held, his pose until Mr..

set of North West Mounted" In
the title of which you see Mr.. De
Mile is accurate even to using the
period spelling.
It is De Miles first technicolor
picture, and the gigantic back
ground-that was expansive coun-
try-looks more like the outdoors
than the outdoors ever did. No,
that's overstatement. The realism
is complete. The shooting program
requires virtually no location work.
But If any one who sees the picture
can tell the difference between the
indoor and outdoor scenes we shall

Unless, of course, Paramount
wants to save it for another picture.

tuplets. And I had to disagree with
Mrs. Rogers right away, when she
told me that she was so years of
age. But this part of disbelief did
not cause any friction between us.
AS part of my contention that
Ginger had not always been the
100 per cent attraction of today, I
had asked Mrs. Rogers to see the
movie Queen High" in which
Ginger played the ingenue role in
1881.
You must admit that in those
days Ginger had an atrocious lisp"
I began.
"She did not" replied Mrs. Rogers
emphatically. "She spoke in that
baby-ish way purposely. At that
time Ginger modelled herself on the
John Held, jr., girl"
We both agreed that I was not
to know this, and after reiterating
that Ginger speaks her lines beauti-
fully today, we passed to the next

"Ginger's skin has always been

exception Of three months when
she had makeup poisoning through
doing four pictures one after the

that I saw Ginger q lot during those
days-as did many others in Holly
wood. Mrs. Rogers assured me that
Ginger's current healthy skin is not
the result Of q diet, but of fewer
pictures.

that Ginger's legs, although lovely
looking today, at one time did not

time has come to throw the ruling
rascals out and salvage what they
can of destiny that has heretofore
been none too happy.
That should be a highly dra-
matte moment. Mr.. De Mile knows
1t. But his motley mob, his rabble in
arms and coonskin caps, does not.
It's life of ease in Southern Cali
fornia has done something to unfit
1t for capturing the feeling of men
who were men enough to shoot away
the shackles which bound them.
Mr.. De Mile, who has been in a
pet for several days, according to the
whispers around the studio, can
take only so much of that. Out
numbered couple of hundred to
one, he starts telling the revolu-
tionists just what he thinks of them.
Look, you white-livered panty
waists" he begins in a highly un-
paternal tone, what I want is a
revolution. Do get revolution, or
don't I? Do have to go out and
get q bunch of new revolutionists?"
Mr.. De Mile says a lot more, but
not for publication in a family
newspaper. Then comes another
rehearsal Of the scene.
From the layman's viewpoint, it
looks all right, but that's the diff
ference between a picture directed
by layman and De Mile. The lat
ter picks out at least a dozen details
of the scene which are riddled with
flaws.
Hey, you, you on the steps, (the
steps being that of the cabin in
which the revolt has been decreeO =,
he begins another harangue, We're
not playing statue. You've just de-
cided to shoot your way to freedom.
Don't stand there like a bunch of
dummies. Act like men who might
believe in liberty enough to fight
for it. (Censored)"
1t ought to be enough to goad the
mob into shooting De Mile. That
1t does not arouses the curiosity of
the stranger within the very closed
gates of the big sound stage.
Hes half-fooling," says a husky
looking assistant. They know it,
too. He'll whip them around,
though. If he doesn't. then he'll get
really mad"
That would have been the true
De Mile spectacle. we thought, but
1t never materialized. The maestro
could not, or did not, sustain the
mood to that point At the height
Of his fury-just try handling a
mob sometime if you don't think
It was justified-a funny line would
intrude upon his whitening dialogue.
