In Hollywood
BY PAUL HARRISON
| NEA Service Staff Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD Every morning
at 7:45 Fred Astaire telephones
Producer Boris Morros and asks,
How are the rushes''. About half
an hour later, Paulette Goddard
calls with the same question. The
moon-faced, intensely earnest exc
cutive, who always goes early to
the studio to see the previous days
shots on Second Chorus" tells
'em the scenes look fine.
Presently the stars appear at his
office and ask him to walk with
them down Ia the set. Robert Still
man, associate producer Of the pic
ture, is already there because he
also happens to be the assistant
director. He used to be one before
he became a producer, and doesn't
mind taking orders from Director
Henry Potter, whom he hired.
Morros has plenty to do because
he is sort of supervising the music
and scoring. All the credit for the
latter job will go to Artie Shaw,
who is making the orchestral ar
rangements, composed the princi-
pal song number, and also has an
important role in the film.
Fred Astaire, who has had some
tunes published, offered a new one
to Second Chorus" but voted
against it after he heard the melo-
dies whipped up by a shy, un-
known young Irishman named Ber-
ME Hanighen.

AREN'T
BOUNCED AROUND

All such goings-on are quite un-
precedented in Hollywood, and
there will be considerable surprise
if the musical film fails to turn in
unprecedented profits. Almost
everyone connected with it will
have a share in the returns, and
the cooperative methods and splr-
it are permitting its completion Tor
less than $500, 900.
That's what happens when play
ers are working for the picture
and are not just being bounced
around like marionettes. For his
pictures at RKO, for instance, AS
taire used to- rehearse six weeks
before a camera turned. When
filming of his dances began, they'd
sometimes make as many as so
takes Of a single flash scene, and
in the aggregate an entire routine
would be shot hundreds Of times.
The hoofing star a a little
worried about dancing with Pau
lette Goddard. He remembered the
fruitless weeks devoted to a num-.
Der he did with Joan Fontaine. 1t
was no reflection on the actress
that she couldn't learn in tw O
months what he had devoted many
years to doing. In the final editing
Of .Damsel in Distress" the num-
Der was cut out.
But he agreed to try it again,
and Miss Goddard said she'd learn,
or else. After a week, Astaire
watched her and was doubtful.
After three weeks, he looked in
on the rehearsal stage and admit
ted she wasn't bad. After five
weeks they tried the dance togeth-
er and he was enthusiastic.
NO PLACE FOR
FUDDY-DUDDIES
1t was decided a patchwork OF
closeups and angle shots would de-
tract from the smoothness Of a
hoofing routine and that it ought
to be viewed in one filming. So
they started to photograph at 9
o'clock one morning. BY II o'clock,
says the delighted Morros, they
had five completed takes-four OF
them perfect and indistinguishable!
Second Chorus" is a comedy
and young and modern and swingy
in spirit. So Morros, even though
he's a distinguished musician and
composer and former musical di.
rector of Paramount is urging his
youthful associates to do it their
way and not according to the pre-
cepts of MovietoAn's fuddy-dud-

LARCEPAYMENT
 OF OLD AGE TAX
City Receives Over $l2O,= OOO- Dollar Penalty
 Effective Tomorrow

The last day for the collection ot old age assistance taxes before the penalty is added today found the city within striking distance of the assessment of $135,800 it must pay the state as its share of the cost of old age assistance work. At the close of the office last night, a total ot more than $120,000 had been taken in since Feb. and heavy collections were reported today.
 Still to be added to the total are many payments received by mail The letters have not yet been open- ed but all have been satmped with the date of receipt. Tabulation of the amounts received through the mail will be begun tomorrow.
 The deadline for payment of the tax is 9 o'clock tonight. The tax of- flee will be open from to 9 o'clock for payments, Beginning tomorrow the $l penalty will be added to the regular tax of $3.
 At the deadline last year, the city had collected only $96,00O in old age assistance taxes. The figure this year is expected to be in the neighbor- hood of $13O,00O, the largest collec- tion recorded locally since the tax first went into effect.
 Extra windows were opened again today for the convenience of tax payers by Tax Collector Humbert Mangini.
 Police have aided the collection campagin by locating many persons to whom bills had been mailed but returned by the post office.

Ill the o'clock serv- ice at night Adjutant Hugo Wiberg will give historical survey of ad- vances made in America up to the present, and will specially pay tribute to Captain York ana other pioneers of the early days of the movement in Waterbury. There will also be a special radio broadcast over one of the local stations at 8 p. m. under the direction of Charles Reitdyke.
 The Salvation Army began it's work in Waterbury in April, 1892, and the first officers in charge were Captain Alexander Lamb and Lieu tenant William Salmon. The first meetings were largely street meet ings, and night after night required police protection. A little later the interest increased, and the old rink which stood on the site of the pres- ent Buckingham building, was en- gagged for the meetings.
 In October of 1894 General William Boon visited the city and addressed both indoor and overflow gatherings In 1895 the social or industrial work of the Army was started by Captain John York. Henry w. Scovill loaned the Army the land on which its first woodward was established. Ralph N. Blakeslee gave his team to draw the wood. One other notable visit, that of

SAVE THE CHURCH

Protestants, Catholics and Jews
have all been prosecuted at some
time in the history OF civilization
but in the United States today no
religious group is restricted. In
former days whole nations OF peo-
ple warned against a religious sect
-ostraciziug them from society
and burning them at the stake.
The constitution which guaran-
teed the freedom OF the conglom-
erous nationalities Of people also
gave freedom of worship which the
democratic loving people OF this
country have always respected.
Wars in Europe and Asia are
abetting the downfall of all free
dom loving people. As churchmen
and religious minded persons here
observe the evils OF dict9torships,
they are aroused to action for more
substantial religious life. Every
citizen who saiutes the American
flag and stands fer the playing OF
the national anthem should see
that his family maintains the con
stitutional guarantee OF the right
of the people to worship as they
please in this democracy, His
children. his family and his friends
should back the movement TO give
an absolute guarantee TO this con-
stitutional security.
The Polish nation can cite count
less atrocities committed upon
their numbers by country which
stepped in and forced submission
to an iron bound rule of despot-
ism.
After hundreds of years OF speak
ing their minds freely on world af-
fairs, the Vatican has been told
when to act and. what to print.
Another depressing nation has
lined UP with that which subdued
the Poles and together they have
become a menace TO Europe, Asia,
America and the entire civilized
nations of the world.
The Puritans came TO these
American shores TO be free from
persecution. The Quakers set up
their colonists in Pennsylvania.
Roger Williams established a reli-
gious colony at Providence, Rhode
Island Respect for such rights
should continue.
United States churchmen are so
conscious of this fact that they
are advocating Loyalty Days Satur-
day and Sunday, urging every citi-
zen and every member OF the Com
mittee for Religious and Welfare
Recovery to participate in services
al a house OF worship For our
general welfare there should be
universal support for this move

Without it we return to the dark
ages.
