But They Got Paid

1t cost Paramount s154 to have
IA prize Hollywood autograph hunt
ers get Bob Hopes autograph.
Yet, any one of the autograph
hunters would have been glad to
pay what they could afford for
Bob's autograph.
The autograph hunters also got
Dorothy LamourS autograph today,
but it didn't cost the studio a cent.
All of the paradoxes are easily
explained. In Paramount's Caught
in the Draft" Bob is movie star,
Dorothy the daughter of an Army
colonel. For one of the scenes
the script calls for IA child auto
graph hunters to mob Bob. This
comes under the head of acting
when it occurs in front of a movie
camera on a sound stage, so each
autograph hunter was paid s11 for
the days work"
In between scenes the children
also grabbed Miss Lamour's auto
graph.

The Cast.
By HARRY MACARTHUR.

There is, in many aspects of the
conflict of ideas ravaging civiliza-
ton today, material for many a
sound screen drama. But such pic
lures must have something to say.
The mere use Of current history's
terms to lend a topical note to a
motion picture is something else
again. An Austrian prince. beloved
of his people, blitzkrieged out of his
Vienna. is figure to win the SYM
pathy of an audience. A GeStapo
agent is villain. But when their
particular little conflict resolves
into nothing but another routine
melodrama that might have, with
only change of scene. say, involved
any other hero and villain. the film
drama becomes dwarfed and insig-
niflcant beside the drama it sug-
gests. All Of which is rather de-
vious way Of getting around to the
fact that They Dare Not Love, y
the new photoplay at the Metropoli-
tan, Is just another routine melo-
drama.
Paced rather too slowly They
Dare Not Love" does manage. how
ever, to become a bit more effective
than some other films of its ilk. It's
principal players are at least ac-
customed to facing a movie camera
Miss Martha Scott apparently can't
help giving performance a note of
sincerity. Paul Lukas, the Gestapo
fellow, has been suave villain
often enough that he could do it in
his sleep, and it is to his credit that
he does not exactly do that here
George Brent contributes a per-
formance that is masterpiece OF
underplaying, or maybe it is just
something else. All of these people
are skilled enough, even if they
don't have their hearts in their
work, to lend some life to a scene
though merely going through the
motions. But even if they tried they
could bring little suspense to a
script that follows familiar path
ways as it tells of the prince who
tried to make deal with Germany
to release some of his friends from
concentration camps, only to have
the Nazis buy an ocean liner for the
purpose OF kidnapping him.
