HOLLYWOOD, July 3l-For any
movie customer VINO has grown a
little tired of the symetrical land
scaping of stellar faces the rugged
pan of Jean Cabin will be well
come change of scenery. Sculptur-
ally. it is of the truly heroic mold
like the Rock MountaIns-butt the
only screen hero Cabin resembles
is Spencer Tracy.
In this country, following the re-
leases of such pictures as "Pepe
lie Moko" and "Grande Illusion, y
Cabin became generally identified
as the Spencer Tracy of France. y
And the fans of that unhappy ma
ton refer to M. Tracy as the Jean
Cabin of America
Such a situation would whip up
jealous rivalry between two aver
age-and particularly, feminine
stars, but Cabin and Tracy are
pals. Soon after the Frenchman
came here, they spent an evening
together. Cabin knew no more
than six words of English, and
Tracy hadn't ever learned to pro-
nounce his guests name. Gts Ga
bann, with the last syllable ac-
centedJ Being actors, they made
a game OF trying to make each
other understood. By the time
Cabin went hcne he could say
with fair clarity: "Okay, but make

Axis Held Together with Haywire

What holds the Axis together?
Is it hope of loot? Is it sheer
overawing of ICaiy and Japan by
the superior force of Germany?
Is it desperation born of the thought
Of What if we lose?" Is it vast
mutual international inferiority
complex?
Maybe lJs simpler than any of
these. Maybe it's just haywire.
Recent publicity efforts of the
Axis powers suggest that the strain
of the past 10 years has been too
much, and that the much -vaunted
ingenuity OF Axis Propaganda has
exhausted itself and gone COM
pletely haywire.
If there Is anything that a super
race and its super-by courtesy
hangers-on must never do, it is to
appear ridiculous Yet if anything
could be more ridiculous than some
of the recent efforts of Signor
Gayda and the pupils of DR.. Goeb-
bels, it would be hard to find it.
The Italian government-controll-
ed newspapers are all sympathetic
with the thought that the United
States by its conduct is risking
war, 1t is deeply concerned by the
thought that American boys may
be asked to continue military train
ing for more than year. For a
country which was pitch-forkeo in
to war by single leader and with
out the ghost of a reason, country
whose every male child is from the
age of 5 subjected to rigorous mill
tary training all of his life, such

editor and Publisher Magazine)
Reports that the government is going
to force so percent curtaiment, or as
President Roosevelt calls II "SubStltu-
ton" in the autOmotive induStrys pro-
duction are ominouS. AS we read the
news dispatches, the decision seems to
have been based more on hunch than
on scientific fact-finding, but its demor
alizing effect upon all commerce is none
the less for its lack of firm base. The
automotiVe business is one of the major
factors in national industrial produc-
ton, and diversion of so per cent of its
factory facilities to other than CONNER
cial lines will have profound and disas
trous effects upon the whole business
structure.
Unemployment in the manufacturing
centers will probably be temporary IN
the period OF transition from CONNER
cial to munitions manufacture, but the
wreckage in the retail and distributing
set-ups will be irreparabe. In the view
of Editor & Publisher, no facts have yet
been produced to demonstrate the nee
essity of this drastic procedure, in auto
mobiles or in other commodities using
metal that is required for ornaments.
If those facts are made public, and II
they do demonstrate the need for such
great sacrifices, there is no question that
the American people will accept the stu
alton. Up to now, however, they have
been asked to accept a succession of con-
Trajectory stories, ranging from the old
business as usual slogan to Mr.. Roose-
velt's sleek hope that the transition from
normal to armaments status would be
gradual.
We believe that everybody in the land
recognizes that our approach to war is
going to require great self-denial and
neglect of necessities on the part of every
American, but we believe also that every
effort ought to be made to save as much
as possible of the structure by which the
country earns its daily bread. The taxes
from which the cost Of our war prepara-
tion must be paid can come only from in
dustry and commerce that are operating
at profitable levels. 1t is idle to believe
that sufficient taxes can be raised from
the profits Of firms operating on munl-
tions contracts, and we don't think that
anyone does believe that The prospective
tax bill Of S3,500,000,000 or more will
come out of the hides of people who will
get little or none of the preparedness
budget, and it can't come out of them
unless they are making living. If gov
ernment now pulls the legs out from
under the principal sources of peace-time
income, with no practicable substitute in
sight its tax program will be ruined, and
what is worse, the morale of the country
will be terribly damaged. Our sugges-
ton is that DR.. Leon Henderson and all
the other experts at Washington take
several more good looks at the business
scene before putting in their fourth
alarm.

HOLLYWOOD S Fads, Fancies and Foibies

daily hours of studying by fellow
who generally played hockey from
school and ran away from it for
ever at the age OF IL. Cabin has
revised other early tastes. His ia
ther, cabaret comedian, always
had urged Jean to be an actor but
the son wanted no part of it. What
ne most wanted for awhile, was
to be a prizefighter like his BROTH
er-in-laW.
So he fought and worked in a
foundry, and presently had to put
in his two years of military SER
vice. Out of that, and unable to
find any sort of job, he finally al
lowed his father to find something
for him-a place as chorus boy
in the Folies Bergere. Cabin thus
became the most unusual-looking
gentleman of the ensemble since
Wallace Beery's hoofing days on
bIOdGWdy.
He became q song-and- dance
man, soon he was doing comedy
(Which he hateD on the stage and
in French pictures. 1t was through
dramatic parts that he got to be
a top star in his own country.
LIKES HIS GINGER
Cabin trotted around with Mar
lene Dietrich when he first was
brought to Hollywood His current
attraction, though, is Ginger Rog-
ers. Back in France, he admitted
friends used to rib him about the
Sind crush he had developed fol
Ginger, just from seeing some o.
her pictures.
It was several weeks before III
met Miss Rogers, and by that time
he had learned enough English t.
ask her for a date. They're getting
along fine.
