Erick Won Stroheim,
The Horror Man,
Is Scared, Too
By Carroll Arim ond,

CHICAGO.
Erich Won Stroheim, the horror
man engaged in soaring people six
evenings and two afternoons week
out here, Is really an old "fraidy cat"
himself.
Stage fright continues to plague
him even after four successful
weeks in his first legitimate stage
role, not counting a vaudeville tour
years ago. He plays Jonathan
Brewster, a visiting relative with
IL murders to, his account, in the
Chicago version of Arsenic and
Old Lace"
He's Still Nervous.
Won Stroheim, billed as The Man
You Love to Hate" while playing
villains in motion pictures, more
recently has been prominent as
movie director. After accepting the
arsenic" role, he lost 10 pounds
during rehearsals while "jittering'
over how he was doing.
Now. after four weeks in the part.
he still bolts his dressing room
door to friends and others of the
company before all performances
and refuses to be diverted in his
moments in the wings.
I'm nervous, I'm worried, I'm
upset; don't want to see anyone.
he bellows through the door to all
comers. He says he needs the spare
time to rehearse his lines.
Horror by Candlelight.
Short, heavy and Teutonic in ap-
pearance, Won Stroheim fills the
part which Boris Karloff plays in
the New York production of the
corpse laden comedy. At one point
in the Chicago version, Jonathan,
who has had his face lifted, angrily
attempts to strangle one of the
cast because, Jonathan cries, He
said l look like Erich Won Stroheim,"
His most horrifying bit ocurs,
however when he and his surgeon
pal argue over whether to put his
brother to death by the "Amster-
dam" or "Leipsig" methods, referring
to two previous killings. Jonathan
holds out for the LeipSig method

gloves, unpacks his surgical instru-
ments and goes to work by candle

Accidents Will Happen, But Not to High Priced n
Film Heroes
Over
To Doubles
Thomas Mitchell's
Injury Results in
New Studio Rule
Bv Harold Heferudn.
By Harold Hefernan.
HOLLYWOOD.


Tom Mitchell, top character
actor, was seriously injured the other
day in a freak location mishap.
For "a hours it was feared the actors
career had come to an end. But
X-rays indicated Mitchell was suff-
ering from contusions instead of
fractures. Nevertheless, he will be
in the hospital for two months.
Mitchell'S accident climaxed a
long procession of minor injuries to
important players in the midst of
productions during the past few
months. 1t brought all major studio
heads up with a start and as
consequence new and stringent
orders have been issued to directors.
Stars. featured players and all
personalities essential to the sue
cessful completion of a picture must
be permitted to take no risks that
might result in injury or illness, with
subsequent replacement or retakes.
Directors are expected to shoulder
full responsibility in determining
whether a scene demands the use
of double or stunt man in place
of the essential personality.
And so today if the script turns
up a scene where Clark Gable,
Enrol Flynn, Tyrone Power or any
one of a dozen manly film heroes
is supposed to leap across four
foot puddle or climb six-foot
ladder, you can be fairly well assured
in view of Hollywoods S latest fright
that the star will be waved back
to the bench and pinch double"
or stunt man ushered' in for the
emergency"
It's just barely possible. you see,
that any one of these high-salaried
boys might lose his footing, slip
and break leg in performing what
appears on the surface to be the
simplest of tricks. And then where
would the producer find himself?
Up tree for $250,000 or so-maybe
more, If the star had to be replaced
and the production started anew.
On the other hand, doubling is
comparatively easy matter these
days and the public is none the
wiser.
Could Have Used q Double.
In the case of Tom Mitchell and
THE Devil and Daniel Webster" in
which he was appearing at the
time he was injured, R-K-O stands
to lose about $150000-and the
picture must be reshot from the
beginning with another actor in
Mitchell's place
Those who witnessed the accident
limited that double instead of an
actor so essential to the production
as Mitchell should have been used
in that particular scene. The ac-
cident occurred at the R-K-O
Ranch in the San Fernando VAL
ley, where a rural scene was being
depicted. Mitchell and Lindy Ware,
a 9-year-old actor, sat in horse
drawn rig and at a signal from
the director the Older actor was to
drive up in front of house at
rapid pace. The horse became
frightened, plunged across the open
set and careened the vehicle against
a fireplug. Both passengers were
thrown out and under the over
turned buggy. Mitchell was taken
to a hospital unconscious. The boy
escaped with minor bruises.
In all fairness to the average
actor it must be said that few ap-
prove the idea of substituting dou-
bles or stunt experts to relieve them
on such palpably simple procedures es
of film making. 1t hurts their pride.

NAz|S Dent RUSSIA ON 100 MILE FRONT
Grab Ukraine, Then
Ha':, Appears TO
Be Nazi War Plan
Food, Oil Appear to be
Germany's Objectives
In Newest Attack
BY UNITED PRESS

Reports from sever a
sources, including an Anka-
ra dispatch quoting the boast
of Germans in Turkey, are
that the Nazi schedule in the
campaign against Russia calls for
attaining the desired objectiVes III
three weeks.
While it sounds improbable, il
there is anything to the report at
all, it provides a possible clue tc
viously could not be subdued BY
military force in three weeks, if ii
keeps on fighting.
However, Hitler could conceiv-
ably attain his objectives in eastern
and southeastern Russia in a short
campaign and halt there, strong
enough to hold what he had against
cOunterattack.
The fuehrer'S chief objective is be-
lieVed by most informed observers
I to be the Ukraine and the Caucasus
region. There lies vast storehouSe
of grain, other food, oil and miner
ais 1t is almost the life supply OF
European Russia.
With control of that area. Hitler
would be fortified for his war
against Britain and in a much bet
ter position to carry it on into he
next year and even beyond, if nee
eSSary.
Hitler undoubtedly needs the
wheat and oil in question, especially
the oil. Once he has his hands on
it, German organization and trans
port would ensure that it reaches
the Reich. A terrible famine might
result in Russia but Germany would
not go hungry.
II the Ukraine is Hitlers main
objective, the military nature of his
campaign can be surmised. The
drive through Bessarabia would be
the main action. The drives from
East Prussia against the central
front and through the Karelian
ishmuS towards Leningrad would be
partly designed to keep the Rus
sian forces occupied over a vast
front and prevent them from con-
centrating on defense of the Uk-
raine.
