 Miami, Aug e.-In Hollywood it takes one glamor girl to make a picture star. Here in Miami it takes 800.
 The 800 girls are artists who draw cartoon characters stars for the Fleiscl1er Studio, oldest movie cartoon makers and, next to Disney, the biggest. And the fact that it takes 800 girls to create c character Is only one of multitude of differences between the set-up in a West Coast studio and the sltua- 4ion here.
 For one thing, the Fleischer com pany Is the only major movie con- cern to be established successfully outside the Hollywood area. It moved here in 1888, after a years in New York. For another, 1t man. ages to do business without any of Hollywood's huilabaioo Although 1t has one of FIorida's largest pay- rolls, most Mianaians don't even know of its existence.
 The company, under the leader ship of Dave and Max Fleischer, now has under way its second full- length production (flrst was Guilt ver's Travels"), the biggest project in its history. Titled ''Mr. Bug Goes to Town" and costing over 1000, 900, it may prove minor milestone in the progress of movie cartooning. It is the first all-cartoon feature length picture with non-fantasy plot-production officials describe 1t as modern romantic comedy-dra- ma"-and instead of human actors it has insects.
 MOST ARTISTS
 HAVE TWO JOBS
 These insect actors are, in sense, among the highest paid in the busi- ness. Hoppity. the Jimmy Stewart type grasshopper hero, draws $5.000 a week, and Honey Bee, who re- minds you of a Deanna Durbin heroine, gets $3T50. c. Bagley Beetle, the insect menace; makes $175O. At least, it's fair to set down those sums as salaries, because that is what the artists who create these cAar0ECerS are p6lO 1OI tA1C UAAAIC Hoppity, Honey and MT. Beetle are actually ''in production"
 As in Hollywood, 55 per cent of the Fleisci1er features budget is earmarked for talent" But instead of. going into the pockets of five or six big-name stars, the $550,OOO is divided among the 700 artists, in- cluding 800 girls, who create, ani- mate, ink and color the make-be- lieves movie stars, feature players and extras, as we'll as design the ''sets," which are painted back grounds.
 Most of the girl artists are ink ers," whose precision work consists of mixing in the outlines of the pen- ciled sketches created by the top artists and animators. Their aver age age is only 23, and they're the prettiest bevy of beauties that never saw the screen.
 Few of them, however, have Hol- lywood ambitions. They like Miami

But into this will have gone close to 6O0,00O sepa- rate backgrounds. In all, including working sketches, more than l'O0Os- GOO drawings will have been made.
 Final process in movie cartoon making includes transferring tlae pictures, dialogue, music, otlaea noises. all of which are on different films, to one film. After this is done cutting and editing ready the nllu for release.
 That's when beaming, bespec. tacled Dave Flcischer, who has his finger in every studio pie, breathes a sigh of relief and takes . plane to New York, where he was born AT years ago. It's racteristic or him that when he arrives he stays quietly at the same small Broadway hotel he lived at in less lush days.
 It is largely because of Fletschers unassumii1g qualities that his studio lacks Hollywood atmosphere. But he says 1t is due to the studios Ioca- ton. "You get a chance to pc nat ural here and to forget the picture business" he says.

though it won't be released until Christmas time. Over a month was spent deciding on the general out- line the story should follow, then tl1reel months creating characters, which means perfecting their ap- pearances, action, voices.
 A cartoon studio doesn't need to hunt for talent, as selznick did for Gone With the Wind" and Paramount is now doing for "Fcr Whom the Bell Tolls. If 1t wants a certain type of actor for a par ticular role, 1t just draws him.

 Hardly a soul at the studio holds down less than two jobs. Artists suggest story ideas, gagmen do art work, every one gets his or her chance to become the "voice" of a cartoon character.

But I'm not in love, and I see no reason why I shouldn't ask a girl out to dinner If she likes me and I like her. That's all there is to it. I don't go to night clubs in Holly wood when I'm working = few ac- tors do. You can't get home at 2 a. m. and be clear-eyed for the cameras at g 8. m. In New York it's different. You can sleep until noon, so in effect your day is just turned around from the day you spend while working in Hollywood.
 My real hobby is making movies home movies. I take my outfit along on location trips and any where else that I figure will make good pictures I climbed all over the rigging of the Tonquin while we were at Catalina, shooting down at the people on the deck.

 And now to this glamour boy" business. I've had the label pinned to me, imagine, because I've visit ed night clubs with different girls. I doubt seriously if anyone really thinks I'm glamour boy. and the fact that I'm not makes it a little embarrassing at times. Like so many of these things, the explana- tion is simple.
 In New York I found I couldn't eat until after the play was fin- ished. I was just too wrought up inside anticipating the evenings performance. By the time I'd get out of the theater it would be mid- night, and there was hardly any place to go at that time of night except to supper clubs. So 1t be- came 8 habit for me to go to these places.
 Well, often as not I'd have girl with me. I like girls. Who doesn't?
