Chaplin. Douglas Fairbanks, ST.,
Mary Pickford, ETC., are over. A
lot of players still pick up huge
checks in the course of a picture,
but the Government picks up the
far larger final percentage. That's
all right, but it means that no one
really is getting rich in pictures.
"Flashy living was still the idea
when I first got to Hollywood. Big
houses, big cars and big parties. I
had place of seven acres. and all
my life I wanted car with a long
hood. 1 bought myself one of those
12-cylinder affairs that reached all
the way from here to there. 1t Is
just one of the things you do when
the pay check stops being $50 a
week and becomes, say, $1,000"
The car taught Eddy something.
He drove it a grand total of only
1000 miles before deciding upon
something more modest.
Il figured up later" he says. that
it cost me just rs cents a mile to
operate the thing"
The Eddys like the new modesty
of living scale in Hollywood. They
have a simple, rather srnallish Co.
lonial house with some trees out
toward the ocean in Brentwood.
Critics who have squirted acid at
Eddy's acting talent. as what critic
has not, turn out in conversation
with him to be entirely in agree
ment with the singer himself.
I'm always being abused for my
acting" he admitted, but it doesn't
disturb me. I make no pretense
of being an actor. I'm singer.
When I play part try to do it as
we'll as possible but manage to live
without illusions as to the art of it."
Incidentally, Eddy is convinced
that you don't learn acting from
good actors-but from bad ones.
The good ones. among whom he
mentioned George Arliss as speci-
men, are so good that they do not
give their technique away. They
make it look easy. like something
involving no technique whatever.
1T is the same with singers.
When I listen to Tibbett or Thomas
their perfection is a delight, but
don't learn from them. I learn
rather from the bad ones. I'm able
to detect their mistakes and. in
doing so, to learn something of
what not to do"
Eddy admits frankly that he is
not a Nelson Eddy motion picture
fan. although he is highly elated
that other people do not feel the
same way.
I'm pretty shy about seeing my
self on the screen" he admits,
"and the result is that 1 don't see
many Eddy pictures
What Eddy would rather see than
almost anything else at this stage
of his career is the United States.
He has covered 1t across and back
and up and down probably 40 times
on his concert tours, but he never
has managed actually to see it.
But I'm going to- he says de-
terminedly. After my next tour
we're going to take couple of weeks
off. start in New England and
really take look at the country"
The Inaugural Gala gave him his
first chance to see Washington. He
has been coming here now for years,
ever since he was a kid newspaper
man in Philadelphia, but it was
always case of dashing in and
out. This time he had three days.
He turned sight-seer and found 1t
a lot of fun.

every time they remember 1t, which
is not infrequently. The Shuberts
have remembered Blossom Time
again and found it still popular
enough that it is due to play two
extra performances, Sunday after
noon and evening, at the National
Theater, where it started its most
recent local engagement last night.
This is, all things considered, a
quite pleasant, even if somewhat
shopworn appearing, version of
Blossom Time" 1t is pleasant prin-
cipally because Everett Marshall has
been cast in the Schubert role and
has been surrounded by some singers
of both charm and competence. The
comedy, perhaps, does not seem any
the less dated, even though the book
and lyrics of the original by A. M.
Wilmer and H. Reichert, have been
adapted by Dorothy Donnelly, unless
such remarks as Marriage is an in
stitution, but who wants to live in
an institution" are the sort of thing
to put you in stitches. There is a
slight matter of purportedly
humorous scene in the second act,
too, in which is employed all the
subtle technique of burlesque COM
edy skit, even down to explosive
sibilantS in the eye.
But when Everett Marshall sings.
Evening star., 1941-04-08

the pain goes away. And Mr..
Marshall is not the only one who
performs the operetta as spiritedly
as he would if it were the freshest
thing in the world. His supporting
cast includes a charming Mitzi In
the person of blond Marie Nash. an
exciting and lush-voiced Bella
bruna in Martha Errolle and a very
fine Franz Schober in Tenor Frank
Hornaday. They sing the Schubert
music, not as if it were a chore, but
as if they enjoyed singing it.
Of course the local appearance of
Blossom Time" right now is timely,
too.
The town seems never to be long
without its visiting cinema celebrity.
Next on the list is Charles Coburn,
one-time director, producer and ac-
tor of the stage, lately that accom-

Coburn directs. His plans this year
have not been the usual ones, how

Treasury Consents,

For Charity
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
An actor can't work for nothing
or even for the legal minimum of
81, without the consent Of the
United States Treasury.
Cary Grant says he learned this
when he offered to donate his salary
of s125 900, for working in The
Philadelphia Story" to British wal
charities. He is doing the same
thing, with the same amount OF
money. for playing soon in THE

ment previously to do the picture
the Government felt that it was en-
titled to its share, nearly half, as
income tax. But, since it was an
extra, there would be no loss to
the Government
Then Grant says he had to sign
q contract to work for 81. The
studio, in another contract, agreed
to donate a sum similar to that
Grant would have received-if he
weren't working for $1--to the
charity he specified. There was
then, no tax on this; British charities
received the full S125,000.
