Hollywood Sights And Sounds
By Robbin Coons

HOLLYWOOD, May 21 - The movies will have to look far to find a better self-censorship man than Joseph I. Breen,' who resigned after holding the hot spot since 1884, the year the Legion of De- cency and other groups elamped down on Hollywood and made it look to it's morals.
 The censor, wherever he may be, is always the brunt of jokes It is easy to find the seemingly absurd and ridiculous quirk ill his rulings, many of which make him appear as a tedious and liter al-mlnded fussbudget out to spoil whatever gaiety is left to nations and to rob everybody of his good fun.
 1le Breen organization, whict pas ses on movies before and aftel production, has had more than it's share of kidding, some of it not sc zoe i-naturcd. I think Joe Breer never minded it seriously. I know he went right ahead, doing his jot as he saw it, regardless of the popularity or unpopalarity of nj

LANA TURNER
 IN FILM WITH
 JOHN SHELTON
We Who Are younq' Opening Tonight at
 Capitol Theatre

The struggles of young couple who marry and face the world to- gether in spite of terrific odds forms the theme of We Who Are Young featuring Lana Turner and John Shelton, which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 Simple and straightforward in it's treatment, this Dalton Trumbo original is one of the most power full films to come out of Hollywood in some time. Its contention that big business would run more smoothly if it's machinery were oiled with a bit of human kindness is proved without the shadow of a doubt The story, in brief, takes two young people who marry and at tempt to set up housekeeping in the midst of a great city. The vari- ous blows dealt them by fate are blows being countered by hundreds of other youngsters the country over How they manage to emerge victorious over seemingly unsur- mountable odds makes for a solid hour of intense drama
 Turning in the surprise perform ance of the piece is red-headed Lana Turner as the young wife Miss Turner, associated previously with collegiate and dancing -daugh- ter roles, gives an excellent account of herself in a straight dramatic characterization. Her interpretation is sympathetic and sincere and opens the way for her to continue h more and more important screen assignments.
 John Shelton, remembered as the juvenile lead in The Ghost Comes Home" is excellent as the young husband and is a decided bet for future leading roles. Others in q uniformly fine cast are Gene Lock- hart, Grant Mitchell and Henry Armetta.

GRIPPING DRAMA DUE TONIGHT AT 10TH CENTURY
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Is Starred with Madeleine
 Carroll in "Sdfari"

A skillfully contrived story, ex- pertly directed and brilliantly en- acted by a splendid cast, makes "Safari," the Paramount drama which stars Douglas Fairbanks T., and Madeleine Carroll, and which opens tonight at the 20th Century Theatre, an outstanding screen eff fort. Having for it's principal locale a West Atrican jungle, it offers a deft combination of romance, ad- venture and comedy.
 The story has to do with sa- fari planned by a wealthy Baron, Tallio Carminati, who arrives on his yacht in M'Pola, with Made leinc Carroll and Muriel Angelas as his guests Madeleine is deter n..ned to marry Carminati and welcomes the opportunity to arouse his jealousy by becoming deeply interested in Fairbanks, big game hunter Carminati has hired to lead the expedition.
 Strcng- -willed and independent Fairbanks immediately antagonizes Carminati, and refuses to accom- pany the hunt until Madeleine per- sua0es him. Flying over the area the safari will travel Fairbanks and Madeleine are forced to re- main alone all night in the jungle, arousing Carminati's insane rage Learning that Carminati has been oalelessiy responsible for the death of enc of the native boys, Fair 5s.fikks denounces him as a murder CT.
 On a lion hunt Carminati in- I tentionally wounds lion and sug- gests that Fairbanks make the kill single-handed. Fairbanks emergeS I with a torn arm, disbands the camp, and returns to M'Pola after angrily tongue-lashing both Made leine and Carminati. He plans fly ing to Europe and the war In 8 series of tensely dramatic scenes the picture is brought to an unex- pected but wholly believable con- clusion.

decisions. He has had some pretty stiff fights, convincing producers and directors that they couldn' "get by" with various censorablt scenes, themes, or "subtleties, but when Breen got his Irish III he was convincing enough.
 In 1884 many feared that self censorship meant the end of adult pictures and the stifling of real ism in films. The advent of Breer was followed by an epidemic ol costume films and juvenile classics mostly highly profitable, but in re- cent months the adult" movies Gil you include the risque in that cate- eory) have been plentiful enough to suggest that the self-censorshiE was relaxing.
 Breen, however, was never pfud- ish in his decisions; his main in sistence has been that good taste be observed in dealing with situa. tions of all kinds, including tht risque. Even such film as "Tht Primrose Path," bristling with i'm plicaticns, did not offend in thi' respect.
