CARLOS two great contemporaries,
Marlene Dietrich and Jean Harlow,
were like her in their tremendous
personal appeaIDietrich the worr1-
an of the world, and Harlow as
American as the city in Missouri
where she was born. The films that
brought them their first fame, The
Blue Angel" and "Hell's Angels" "
are as vivid right now to any one
who saw them as the picture play
ing around the corner. They estab-
lished the school of glamour.
At this same time the need for
laughter produced another type of
sex appeal, this time with capital
letters and spelling out Mae West.
More the vamp than anything else,
she made sex funny, and soon had

us a new, streamlined version of the
femme fatale, Veronica Lake. Her
beauty as clear and clean cut as the
wings of bomber over Randolph
Field, she typifies the moment we're
living in right now. the present.
She brings the lure of the enchant-
ress up to date. Her slenderness

said, Liberty bonds fell of.
Little Private Capital.
Motion picture financing. up to
the time of DR.. Gianninis first ven-
ture, was a backstairs proposition.
Gradually equity money became in
terested. The retired banker, now
living here, boasts that he loaned
the movies millions and millions and
never lost cent.
Comparatively little private capl-
tai gets into the movies. Successful
independents use their banks and
embryo producers have to be un-
usual statesmen to get help from the
uninitiated. The little outside money
that does come in is said by bankers
to come from persons whose main
incentive is desire to be associated
with creative effort.
David o. Selznick is the most re-
cent outstanding success in the in
dependent field. Because he wanted
artistic freedom, an independence he
felt he could not have in a studio, he
formed his own company. 1t pleased
his ego to see his name first, not Sec
ond, on the pictures he makes.

HOLLYWOOD

I1OLL WOob.
Booth Harrington, in Seventeen,
dwelt long on the pleasant life at
that wonderful age.
But, and take the unanimous word
of screen youngsters for it, II Is a
very unlovely age. All because 1t
precedes the 18th birthday.
Until you're 18, says California
law, you have to go to school. And
going to school while working in a
movie is an Al headache to pupils
and studio alike.
Let's let pretty Anne Baxter, just
three weeks past l8, have the floor:
Il was 13 when I started on the
stage, and two years ago I had a
movie offer. Could I leave right
away. they asked? I could. My
friends stirred up hurried farewell
party. They gave me orchids and
things. 1t was all going swell until
the telephone rang.
Idle Since First Film.
"Anne,' my agent said, it's all off.
Somebody happened to look at your
history and discovered you're only
16. They say they don't want a
minor"
Despite that, however, Goth Gen.
tury-Fox brought her West a
year or so ago. She worked in THE
Great Profile" and critics agreed she
gave a nice performance. But she's
been idle since, until a couple Of
weeks ago they put her in a new
Jack Benny opus.
The coincidence of starting a
picture just after her birthday is
significant. If a choice for a role
lies between a 17-year-old, who can

Mae West, whose "She Done Him
Wrong" and I'm No Angel still
hold boX-office records in many
large theaters throughout the land,
was snubbed by three different STU
| dioS when an agent tried to get her
film contract while she was on the
New York stage. She finally had
to take bit part to convince them
And the entire front Office of a
certain large studio is still feeling
pretty silly for having let young
lady named Deanna Durbin 60 after
having her on the contract list for
a year without giving her a chance.
Charles Boyer and Humphrey Bo-
CART felt the iron toe of three diff
ferent studio boots before they final
ly settled down-at fancy prices.
Boyer was tossed off practically
every lot in town before David Selz-
nick discovered his great lover"
qualities in Garden of Allah"
Bogart made three trips between
stage and various Hollywood studios
before his stay became permanent
and profitable.
If there's one name R-K-O ex-
ecutives don't like to hear at board
meetings, it's that of Linda Darnell.
A year and a half ago, Linda won
Jesse Lasky Gateway to Holly
wood" contest in Dallas and was
brought out for the routine screen
test. Lasky was releasing through
R-K-O at the time. He recommend
ed Linda as contract prospect.
But the studio demurred-past its
option time. Daryl Zanuck. at
Twentieth Century-Fox, was lurking
like hungry fox on the sidelines.
An hour after Linda's option had
expired at R-K-O, Zanuck's agent
had the 16-year-old under contract.
With Blood and Sand" just being
released, Linda completes her seventh
big role in slightly more than a
year. She's drawing about 81 200 a
week and is growing more and more
popular with fandom each time out.
No wonder Darneu makes R-K-O
see red.
NOtnlnS Eat the IIdtP.
Spencer Tracy is conceded to be
the finest male performer on the
screen today-and yet five years ago
Twentieth Century-FoX gave him
an outright release, the discharging
official declaring he has no chance
of getting anywhere in movies"
M. G. M. snapped Spencer UP the
following day and he's been heading
| up those starry pastures ever since.
Bette Davis spent year at Uni
versal playing sister" and ingenue
roles and got nothing but the gate
at the end of that period. She and
her mother were packed for re-
turn to New York when her agent
asked her to go to Warner Bros.
to see George Arliss, seeking a lead
ing lady for The Man Who Played
God" That first contract with War
ners, often changed and several
times fought over, still holds Bette
to the Warner fold.
Jack Warner never likes to look
at a Clark Gable picture Such
images on the screen remind him
of the time Clark worked as chauf-
feur in Night Nurse" and begged
Warner to put him under contract.
Warner refused because a round
robin executive report read: His
ears are too big"
Also under contract to Warmers
years ago was Myrna 10y. She was
used only for vamp roles and as
! subject for leg and bathing suit art.
Shirley Temple was offered twice
to Warmers and turned down on
! each occasion.

different. If he has a big star and a.
good director, maybe he can borrow
IS per cent of his expected cost. He
may have an unusual story and no
star; 80 per cent is all he can raise.
The motion picture is strange
combination of artistry and COM
mercialism. The man who feels re-
stricted, artistically or commercially,
under studio supervision becomes an
independent producer. He Is his
own boss, he makes the kind OF pic
lures he likes. There always is the
prospect of big profits, although he
realizes that the vagaries and whlms
of show business may make him a
millionaire tomorrow and put him
in the breadline next Wednesday.
First On His Own.
As a rule, the independent starts
off in a modest way-on his own
capital. He must have one picture,
to get a credit rating. Profits on his
first venture help cue the amount OF
his initial loan. A producer whose
half-million dollar picture crosses
slightly more than that can't bor-
row so much as the fellow whose
100000 quickie paid of 200 per cent.
He cannot get a loan without
story and contracts with, at least, a
star and a director. The story's
probable value, the stars drawing
power, the directors record are
taken into consideration. Last but
not least, he must have contract
with a releasing organization. A
picture without release is no better
than an auto without wheels. His
collateral is an assignment of the
first monies received.
Banks Are Chief Source.
The bank interest rate TO inde-
pendents is always 6 per cent. Other
businesses get loans for half that
rate or less, but not the movies. This
business is gambia gamble that
a strip of celluloid, with no tangible
value in itself, can be marketed as
profitable entertainment. The profits
are huge, but so are the losses.
Banks are the chief source OF in
dependent movie financing, DR.. A. II.
Giannini told me- DR.. Giannlnl, now
retired. was the first banker to make
movie loans. A Californian, he went
to New York to run a bank "and be-
ing little fellow just starting. had
to take business the other fellows
didn't want" The other fellows
didn't want movie business.
When he made his first loan In
1919. other bankers told DR.. Gianninl
he was crazy to take such chance
His answer was that he considered
his loan better than the Liberty
loan. First National, a sales COM
pany, borrowed s500,Oo0 to pay

changes were taking place, partic-

In the unpredictable, ever-changing
business of making motion pictures,
In which the chief commodities are

Nevertheless, there are certain
starry names never mentioned in

Not Here to Stay.
Hollywood has a book full of IA
nous blunders. You hear about
them privately now and then. Let
us recall a few, Just for the record.
Topping the list comes the Mr.
X-Stein. who, back in 1929, turned
down talking pictures as ''impracti-
cal" This gentleman, the head of
a major studio, went on record in
his annual survey with the state
ment, "Therell always be a market
for a good silent picture" His COM
pany is now making 60 features a
year-all talking
Then there is the fellow who was
all for dropping Gary Cooper when
that young actor, fresh from the
Montana range, had held up produc-
ton three days because he couldn't
get through a love scene with Clara
