War Creates
Interest in
And It's Reflected
8. In Films to Be Seen
In Near Future

With foreign locales for films
closed to the moviemakers by the
European and Far Eastern wars,
Hollywood producers are turning
with amazing unanimity to the
American scene.
In coming months, as a result,
American film fans may expect a
virtual deluge of really big pictures
that will bring their own country,
Its past and present, closer to them
than ever before.
Reawakening national conscious
ness as result of the European sit
uation is, of course, also a factor in
the current Hollywood trend. as is
the ouickened interest in the United
States on the part of the Canadians
and the South Americans, whose
markets remain open to Hollywood.
One result of this development
has been to send the moviemakers
ranging far afield in search OF au-
thentic locales for their epics. and
before the year is out there will be
practically no section Of the United
States that has not played host to
some troupe.
Longest journey thus far recorded
was that of Producer director Ed
ward H. Griffith and the Paramount
company which he took to Char
lottesville, Va, to film in beautiful
and historic Albemarle County his
virginia" story of the Old Do
minion in the present day, which
co-stars Fred MacMurray and Mad
eleine Carroll.
Cecil B. de Mile, who filmed
much of his forthcoming North
West Mounted Police" which stars
Gary Cooper, Madeleine Carroll,
Paulette Goddard and others, on
location in the San Jacinto Noun
tains and the Sacramento Valley,
goes even farther for his next effort.
REAP the Wild Wind" is to be made
principally on location at Key West,
Fla.
Paramount also has 81 Wanted
Wings" aviation epic. now on loca-
ton at Randolph Field, San An
tonic. Tex, with Ted Reed directing
a cast headed by Ray Milland, Will
liam Holden and Brian Donlevy.

Laughton and Carole Lombard, in
CALIFORNIA; Napa Valley; Columbia
filmed Arizona" at Tucson in that
State; M-G-M sent a troupe to the

and Twentieth Century-Fox made

not bother the name grabbers. The
dozen who got the signature wheeled
out Of the milling mob, but not the
several dozen who did not. Those
who could not find a way to cling
to the side of the cab started down
the street ahead of 1t as fast as
they could run, praying, no doubt,
and successfully, that the light at
Fifth avenue would be red. 1t was,
and before it stopped being red,
some dozen more got the milling
mob equivalent of Stewards sigma
ture.
Fifth avenue, If any one thought
that was haven, was not. Before,
behind and on both sides of the cab
through the early afternoon traf-
fic, and with an inconceivable dis
regard for what traffic can do to
the face if it hits you just right,
raced the throng CHow's that,
Cicero, for getting a verb 2 miles
from its subject?) The cab driver,
probably stooge for the autograph
tycoons, finally did manage to
shake off all but a couple of kids
who turned up when the - cab
reached the Shubert Theater. Don't
ask us howl
At the theater, where the har-
raised Stewart was slowed away for
safe keeping by the kind souls in
the box Office who knew a special
corridor. a type of celebrity hunter
unknown in Washington appeared
in smaller, but significant, swarm.
He is the one who shoots with a
lashlight camera.
An utterly amiable gent, Stew
art signed as many autographs,
posed for as many pictures. and
otherwise conformed to the i'm
preston of being a good guy to the
greatest possible extent. Had he
been a contemporary of Job, there's
some doubt as to which would have
earned that spot in the Old Tesla
ment rs man whose patience
should be recorded for posterity
When it was impossible to sign,
or stand in patient WEAKNESS for
another picture, he managed to get
out of it by saying, I'm sorry, pal"
while racing at top speed for the
nearest haven.
His single profit from all the sig
natures, of which there must have
been several hundred by the time
the door of 81 closed on him by
$50 o'clock, was a fountain pen
he didn't want. 1t was jabbed
through the door of the cab on
Seventh avenue by youngster who
was unable to follow through to the
extent of leaping on the cab. IN
able to throw it out, Stewart carried
the pen back to the club, left 1t
with the doorman, found out later
that the wise youngster had come
to collect it in due time. y
The moral of it all probably Is
that if Stewart calls, you had bet
ter say you have another engage
ment. It's safer as long as his is
a two-bit signature.
