ly anybody will be alive except the
cameraman. Director Arthur Lubin
said he died when he first read
the script.
Director David Butler sold one
of his race horses, Ell Gee Bee,
for $500 because II wasn't winning
races or even earning its feed
bills. But Ell Gee Bee was named
for Mrs. Buffers initials, and she
felt terrible about the horse being
sold. The director says he didn't
feel so good about it either, after
he'd bought his way out of the
dog house with an $1,000 fur coat.
STAND-INS SEEK
TO IMPROVE STATUS
The stand-ins of Hollywood are
organizing for their assumed bene-
fit, hoping to attract some atten-
ton and win q chance at sure
enough acting. Actually there Is no
more reason why stand-ins, as a
group, should be considered poten-
tial camera fodder than that all
the studio carpenters suddenly
should decide to become leading
men.
Most stand-ins lack any sort Of
dramatic training, and few of them
are really photogenic. Only require
ment is that they have about the
same skin and hair coloring as the
players for whom they pose while
lights are being adjusted. It's simple
truth that stand-ins have low
place in the sun-arcs of Holly
wood and that they're doomed
forever to anonymity. In fact, they
could be replaced anytime by life
sized dummies.

Hollywood-All over the lot: The
rain has driven all the outdoor pic
lures under cover, and a sound
stage is not the best possible place
to shoot a western. Just ask that
intrepid horseman, Cesar Romero.
Senior Romero again is imper-
scnating the Cisco Kid, and just
now the Kid is busy eluding a
doyged troop of calvary watched
him dash out of house, leap on
a horse and wheel to ride away.
He didn't get far. The horse slipped,
and 1t and its rider sat down, conf
cally, side by side, but hard. Every
one rushed to see If Romero was
hurt. He was just mad. He said,
"Tt' a dirty trick to double-cross
horse by sprinlking earth over
slippery floor"
On the next take, the horse got
even. Just as Romero's foot touch
ed the stirrup, the nag whirled. The
actor (who really is a pretty fair
rider) flew through the air with the
greatest uneasiness and landed in
the arms Of a couple of prop men.
Coming on the set Of Virginia
City,"I saw Director Mike Cur
tin and asked, "Whadaya know"
Said he: "YOu got nothing to
write about today. I'm in very
good humOr."

at Universal, asked If I wanted to
visit the set and be scared stiff. He
said, We've got Boris Karloff and
Bella Lugosi in this picture, and
they're both working without any
make-up!"
This is another of those chiller-
diners which all of us laugh about,
but which make an awful lot of
money at the boxoffice. Karloff is
a flendiSh surgeon who transplants
part of a criminals brain to the
injured skull of a mousey little
English professor. So the professor
goes around numbering people right
and left. There are 10 murders in
the picture, the picture, the last one
being Karloff's Staying of the pro-
fessor, and he goes to the electric
chair for that. At the end, scarce

The c. o. P. Candidate
Philadelphia Record)


 First of all he is a strong man. There can be no doubt of that. Force intelligence, astonishing quantity of political personality, combine to make him the strongest of all the candidates the Republi- party considered during eight sweltering hours of balloting in Convention Hall
 And he is adroit More adrot believe, than nasty and casual observers fully understand You Sensed this quality in his first press conference after nomination, when he said he still considers the Roosevelt New Deal platform of 1892 the best platform written" Here quick wit already casting about for way to evade the insecure foot ing of the Republican platform of 194O.
 But it would be grave for American voters to regard Wendell Lewis Wilike a sort of political babe-in- the-woods turned by mysterious unplanned magic into the white hope of his party.
 He did not stumble into the nomination He by virtue of a shrewdly planned, opulently fin anced, lightning campaign which left Old Guard Re- publican leaders bewdered Frances generals when the German mechanized forces drove down from the north last month.
 Supporting him the suave, self-assured men of Wall Street and the utility companies Of the nation-men wise in the ways of quiet lobbying and familiar with the best methods of controlling political groups Under their unobtrusve handling the rank -and-file enthusiasm evoked by Willke's natural political glamour was marshaled where it would do most good
 The nomination, indeed seems to signify a new method in COP. politics For generations business leaders who sought to make the party their own ends in the habit of working through con- ventional political channels They would pick a safe" candidate from the ranks of professional office-seekers, and in effect, send him out to do their errands
 This year they have selected of their own for the job.
 There is candor and honesty in the 194O mode. Great wealth and greater privilege can say at last, quite openly: Here is man; let him your country
 He represents forces which we would prefer to see curbed rather than expanded Yet, these forces in democracy entitled to representation. It is their right to present their to the people In Wendell Wllkie, they have picked an able advocate His record is clear We know exactly where he stands.

 By our previous standards, the taxes may seem onerous. But they still but frac- tion of the taxes which England, for instance, has been forced to pay in her arms expansion program. And it might be added, quite possibly the taxes are but the beginning of new heavy tax burden in the United States
 The tax schedule would, roughly, defray the cost of the planned 70 percent fleet expansion dur ing the next five years Still left to the province of deficit financing-or further taxes-would be the equally costly air and army expansion programs.
