Paris. In Paris, the only acquaint-

borrowed enough from his laundress
to get Pascal to Amsterdam.
The picture project blew up.
"I needed inspiration" Pascal
says. Il wanted to see George

ing about picture. I just wanted
to shake his hand"
So he crossed the North Sea on

hesitate telling her side.
In the first place" says she, I'm
willing to compromise. I'm the
LATEST mortal I know and I dread
having to get up at 6 am. again
but do like acting. That's why I'll
take less than $4,000 if I'm given
chances at outside pictures. But
I'll have none of the compromises
suggested so far"

suggestions.

Meanwhile, she's having herself a

taking care of her funds, has made
financial problems remote for some
time.
That gives Ann a chance to enjoy

NEW YORK.
The bellhop brought in change
from S. several crisp new bills
and some silver. Gabriel Pascal
turned toward it, and then recoiled.
Take a quarter for yourself" he
said, land put the rest on the table" |"
Before he settled back in his chair
he threw the money another dark
look.
Pascal is a very unusual movie
producer. He is the only producer
George Bernard Shaw would let
film his plays. He has just ac-
complished the feat of making a
movie amid the chaos of wartime
England. And, most remarkable for
a producer, he apparently hates
money.
He is leery of it in the broad
aspect of box-offlce revenue, and
dislikes it in the more immediate
manifestation of pocket cash, as in
the case of the bellboy.
Friends have come upon him a
dozen times in odd corners of the
world fiat broke, not knowing where
his next meal was coming from, and
not particularly concerned about it.
IF nothing turns up" he says,
II can always go back to nature
and live on carrots for three or
| four days. I've done it.
The truth is that cents is the
same to me as 5000. OF course,
can tell the difference, but they
don't mean anything different to
me-"
Has Bland Confidence.
Pascal is a short, swart Hun
garian, now a British citizen, with
sleek black hair and dark, piercing
eyes, and heavy international ac-
cent; you catch the meaning of his
words about second after he utters
them.
He has passed through so many
vicissitudes that he has acquired
a bland confidence that he some
how will survive the next one.
Pascals Hungarian peasant family
was broken up when he was a lit
tie boy He ran away with band
of gypsies for several years. From
them he was rescued and adopted
by a wealthy Viennese family.
He acted and wrote plays for a
couple of years; then in 1914 in
Copenhagen, came across the early
efforts in motion pictures, and has
concentrated on them since.
He made a picture in England,
fought in the World War for four
years with the Hungarian Army,
and afterward gravitated to Ger
many, Italy and France, making
distinctive pictures that gained him
a reputation on the continent.
A Social Formula.
1t was in the course of this ex-
perience that he became aware of
his chronic unadjustment to fiscal
conventions. No matter how much
money his pictures made, he never
seemed to get much of it. He ac-
knowledges that, being preoccupied
with the artistic end, he never paid
much attention to the financial
side, but he begrudges the fact that
that is necessary.
II am an artist, a creative person,
he analyses amiably. "All finan-
ciers try to cheat all creative men
That's the social formula"
AS he wound up q shift Of produc-

ing grew an agreement for Pascal
to film all Shaw's plays.
Pascal started with a light Shaw
item, "Pygmalion." about an eru-
dite professor who transforms a
little street flower girl into a genteel
lady in a few easy lessons. The
picture was a smash hit in this
country, ran a year on Broadway
and crossed around $4,000, 900, more
than 10 times its cost.
Peace" Is Disturbing.
The movie he has just finished
is Shaw's Major Barbara" about
a rich girl who becomes a Sal
vation Army worker. The picture
took 18 months to make.
Shooting was interrupted several
times a day by air raids and warn
ings. The cast and production staff
were all part-time defense func.
tionaries, and there were frequent
personnel disruptions because OF
war demands.
Pascal arrived here with the final
print few days ago. He finds the
peaceful life more disturbing than
existence in the war zone.
over there, the set little routine
imposed by war eliminated a lot
of the usual annoyances of civilized
life. You got used to the routine,
and it was quite comfortable"

money. They used to play bridge

ed lesser part which he played to
the hilt but without much public
credit.
Soon Bette Davis, Miriam Hop
kinS and Director Edmund Could
ing were preparing to film The
Old Maid" The only mans role in
that was a short but necessarily
effective one and James Stephen
son, every one seemed to agree, was
the man for it. He was tested
again and it was all set when, al
most overnight, everybody's mind
was changed, it seemed, and George
Brent was rushed in to play it.
"A box Office name is needed"
was the official explanation.
Gets Featured Lead.
1t was small wonder then that
Actor Stephenson. who was always
in the running but not in the
money" in Warmers biggest pic
lures, should take with certain men,
tai reservations the news that he
would play Joyce, the family
friend and defense attorney in the
picture, THE Letter" starring
Bette Davis. He liked the Vaughan
Story-Maugham is one of his
favorite authors-and he liked the
Joyce role but he felt it would
probably be taken away from him
before the picture started.
But 1t wasn't. He played it
through and his associates on the
picture knew that a new screen
star was in the making. Two other
pictures, in which Stephenson
played important but supporting
roles, went to the cutting room be-
fore the results of his work in The
Letter" could be judged from the
report Of critics and public. Those
two pictures are South of Suez"
and Flight From Destiny" They
represent, presumably, Stephenson's
last work as a supporting player.
In Shining Victory" his first
assignment since the release of THE
Letter" Stephenson plays the fea-
tured lead with Geraldine Fitz-
gerald opposite him. Thus, at long
last, an uncomplaining, patient
actor comes into his reward.
He will not again be found at the
end of the featured billing as and

find him listed just at the end of
the roster of principal players as
land James Stephenson" He
couldn't be left off entirely, it
seemed, due to contract or some
thing.
So, for more than two years he
was known to many of his associates
at the Warner Bros. studio, where he
worked, as land James Stephenson, u
the bottom name on the featured
billing. AS such he had worked in
a considerable number of pictures for
Warner Bros, both in England be-
fore he was sent to America and in
the United States, which he adopted
as his own country after brief ex-
perience here.
Sought Better Roles.
StephenSon's first role in Holly
wood was in White Banners" in
which Claude Rains and Fay BANTER
were featured. Stephenson had a
small role-few on his own lot can
remember what it was without re-
ferring to the records. After that he
went from one small-but featured
role to another, always being helpful
to the picture but not often attract
ing much attention to himself.
Eventually he got to the point
where he wanted better roles and
had some reason to think he might
get them. He had his heart set on
playing the majors part in Dawn
Patrol" with Enrol Flynn. He made
tests for it and went home one night
with the unofficial information that
his tests were entirely satisfactory
and that he would undoubtedly be
assigned the role the next morning.
But the next morning the part
had been given to another able
Englishman, Basil Rathbone. who
played the devil out of it, too," de-
clares Stephenson. Il couldn't COM
plain over that choice"
Lost Another.
Then the studio planned THE
Sea Hawk" which was certain to
be one of the big pictures of the
year. Stephenson was in line for
the role of Sir John Burleson, the
fourth lead. He made tests for that
too, in costume and fancy hat, and
was told ne would undoubtedly
play it.
But he didn't. Donald Crisp
played it and Stephenson was hand

agent told the studio that she
wanted $4,000 a week instead of
$500.
Much of Hollywood thinks she has
a point. Six hundred dollars makes
a iJt of nickels, but compared with
the wages paid some others-at
Warmers and elsewhere-her de-
mand is not considered eXorbitant.
Her case is one of the strangest
in Hollywood'S annals, and Holly
wood has turned up some mighty
strange tales.
The studio spent years building up
their Texas acquisition. The
"Oomph" tag they gave her caught
on like nothing since Clara Bow got
'It." Then, when critics began to
agree that she had blossomed into
an actress whose talents were more
important than her "Oomph," she
was taken out of circulation. It's
like buying a $4,000 piano, putting
1t in the woodshed and forgetting
about it.
Would Compromise.
All the studio will say is that they
are no closer together. Officials ad-
init they wanted her badly for new
