50 ne began Wrltlng. he mas written
short stories and books and plays.
His first stories were merely words
and incidents. Lately, Saroyanites
tell me, his stories make much more
sense, are, in fact, as simple and
direct as they are amusing. His
plays do not follow the pattern; his
characters are casual, everyday
like, undramatic in the accepted
stage sense.
He Works Alone.
He has loftlike ofiice at M-G-M
studio, but he goes to some hide
out to create. The Marx brothers
once used the loft as dressing
room. I sat in his casual Office and
pretty soon Saroyan came in, slen-
der, dark complexioned and stu
diously dapper in summer suit. In
appearance, he is not a genius
Geniuses are supposed to look like
Orson Welles or Cecil de Mile, aren't
they?
Saroyan talks well and rapidly
about himself He holds himself in
good esteem, but 1t isn't annoying
to hear him tell you how good he is.
His movie script is the longest
thing he ever wrote. He did it in
month, after concentrating on it
for a month. Other writer's, he said,
would spend years concentrating on
a work of the depth and scope of
his movie.
Saroyan wrote a long introduction
to explain his movie-which he calls
THE Human Comedy" but a COM
edy only in the classical sense-and
agout $50 pages of dialogue and
charcter description. He did not
attempt to put 1t In scenario form;
he is not interested in writing a
scenario because there are screen
writer's who can take care of the
mechanics of fadeouts and camera
angles and scene details.
Evening star., 1942-02-22

Yes, he admitted. his movie Is
mostly photographed, as, he
asked. what writer isn't autobio-
graphical, If not factually at least
In recording his own reactions7
Saroyan Is making sense 50 far
Am I?
1t is, he continued, just honest,
valid writing. valid and simple and
solid. 1t is about family, maybe
in Fresno, Calf, where Saroyan was
born, of Armenian parents, 50
years ago.
There is no villain in it, in the
story sense. He does not like con-
ventional villains. He never met
any villains; bad people, sure. but
after you get to know them like he
gets to know them, you discover why
they are bad and then you sympa-
thize with them. He has the wal
in the background. a gray shadow
portending tragedy. Maybe that's
the heavy of THE Human Comedy.
Some people say Caroyan is q
crackpot. Saroyan told me some
people say that about him. That is
because, he said. they do not un-
derstand him. If they do not un-
derstand him, it is his fault. He
must try harder next time. But
his movie, he guaranteed in as many
words, is simplicity itself. After all,
the movie is a broad art which
must entertain the child as well as
the adult intellectual.
Saroyan walked to a window and
tipped cigarette into a well-swept
M-G-M street.

manuscript on his desk, will be

Ay Wide World News.


HOLLYWOOD.
In the best accepted Hollywood
tradition, actors are not supposed to
want parts. Producers are supposed
to want actors. And actors have
agents to suggest to producers that
they should want the agents actors.
Which brings us to Henry Fonda
and Tales of Manhattan" that
fabulous piece with 16 stars.
Fonda saw the script. presented
himself to Producer Boris Morros
and announced:
Il want to be in it."
Docs your agent know" Morros
queried.
Can you use me?" snapped
Fonda.
Sure :. but :. your agent :"
T. I'll let you in on secret" Fonda
fetorted. He works for me. don't
work for him"
He got the part and the agent,
because custom can't be violated,
got his usual 10 per cent. A contract
is contract, after all.

All Is Not What 1t Seems When You Watch Movie
For Every Motion Picture Studio Has
Miniature Monsters, 0CFoo Batleships
AMusEMENTs.
By Ted Gill,
HOLLYWOOD.

VvSSDs
There's an interesting workshop
at every motion picture studio,
closely resembling q huge Christ
mas toy section Of q department
store, where they make imitation
skyscrapers, battleships, prehistoric
animals and all the other minia-
lures which look so real on the
screen.
Known as the special effects di-
vision, 1t contains hundreds OF little
mechanical gadgets turned out by
highly skilled workmen, then stored
away for the day they'll be called
upon to play their big role for dear
aold cinema. They include midget
-airplanes, trains, automobiles, motor
cycles, motor boats. bridges, noun
,tains and many other items.
Some models of battleships,
steamers and submarines are tiny.
but others are 20 to IS feet long.
: ARE built to exact scale and operate
ein perfect mechanical precision.
.And the expense is not to be sneezed
at, either. One submarine at War
ners' that will rise and submerge
and shoot miniature torpedoes
cost $4,000.
Erecting towering skyscrapers .
few feet in height is a cinch, but
making miniature prehistoric dino
Asaurs or elephants and other huge
animals Is tedious and expensive.
For instance, King Kong. R-K-O's
famous savage demon, which ap-
.peared on the screen to be taller
than the Empire State Building,
actually was only 20 inches high, but
1T cost $500 to build.
Most such animals have COM
plete midget skeleton, covered with
hide or fur while their me-
-chanical insides enable them to
walk, growl, breathe, blink their
eyes and otherwise move in hfelike
manner. Some cost up to $1,000.
Construction of huge animal dunn
mics is unusual. One Of the largest
was a dinosaur. "a feet long and
Is feet wide. 1t contained TOO mi-
tation bones and required two
months to make.
Whenever you see long shots in
the movies of Indians, South Sea
Island natives, or even college
varsity oarsmen rowing a boat,
chances are they're only 2-inch
miniatures in a tiny toy craft, that
operate with sewed-of windshield
~wipers for oars to make it appear
that they're all stroking in perfect
unison.
