other girl in New York, say, to do
for my brother from San Bernardino.
That's my job and I'm proud of
it, and it's plenty war work. And
this is what I've learned:
1t isn't the big parties which keep
up the morale of the boys with
whom I've come in contact. It's the
little parties-the parties for four
or five or, at most, six. The boys
seem to feel awkward at mammoth
banquets and things. The best thing
a big party can do is split itself up
into lot of little parties.
Prefer Little Parties.
l remember two boys from
Arkansas, privates, attached to
Weather Bureau. In the midst of
one of the biggest entertainment
events at a Beverly Hills hotel,
found them begged down in corner
behind a potted palm. They were
miserable and they were trying to
keep out of sight.
I'VE kind of feel like something
was expected of u.s." one of them
confessed shyly. I'VE don't know
when they're going to ask us to do
something, and it's sure nice of them
to give this party. but we're afraid
We'll let them down.
They didn't want to talk about
themselves Immediately. They'd
just seen Orchestra Wives" and
they had a lot of questions about
that, whether liked my work. and
II acting was hard and about other
players. Then I got them talking
about themselves. In a little while
they'd forgotten they were at a big
party.
Interested in Sets.
There's so many little things.
Taking soldier around movie set,
for instance. I've palled with hun
dreds of the boys and I've yet to find
one that wouldn't rather have a
sandwich in dressing room or a
studio commissary, than a banquet
in the biggest hotel. And on the set
they're interested in how sets are
made and how much they cost and
what color lipstick I use and why
and whether the electricians get
bored with seeing so many actors,
and whether we save bent nails.

Those who are moaning that
Hollywood cannot survive unless the
Government is more lenient in ex-
empting essential employees, are
talking against the record. The
motion picture industry is in the
most prosperous condition of this
generation, with turnstiles clicking

talking against the Screen Actors
Guild, vitally affected by changing

Astaire Hayworth Feature.
Fred Astaire has now danced with
three partners, Ginger Rogers, Mar
Jorie Reynolds and Rita Hayworth.
OF the three, your correspondent is
inclined to favor Rita Hayworth as
the best dancer of this feminine
trio, but not as the best partner.
The Astaire- Rogers team was better
balanced as to size.
Astalre's latest musical confection,
You Were Never Lovelier," screened
yesterday, has the lilt and melody
OF Jerome Kern's music, grated to
a Wisp of a story wherein Adolphe
Menjou carries ball for most of the
footage, and carries it well. Mr..
Astaire's nimble hoofs are employed
in dancing solo where flying feet
touch most of the furniture in
Menjou's f1ossy Office. Set in q
South American locale, it will never
worry Nelson Rockefeller's good
neighbor policy, for there is nary a
mention of the war. Pure escape,
with Xavier Cugat's Band doing the
rumbas and such.
The Astaire- -HayWorth team has
four routines, all beautifully exc
cuted. Songs that assault the ear

also destined to be among the sea-
sons champions as a popular choice,
with "The Pied Piper" among the
big winners. Brian Donlevy and
Monte Woolley, the dominant char
acters in these latter screen stories

Some Weak Moments.
A conglomeration of star names
does not automatically roll a pic
ture into the rank of screen i'm
mortals. If it did, "Tales of Man
haitian" would have been assured of
greater crosses than Mrs. Miniver," ;"
something it will not achieve. In at
least one of the episodes of Tales"
both script writer's and actors wasted
abundant talent on mediocre fiction
This indictment refers specifically to
the adventure engaging Charles
Laughton which had cultured
musical audience acting boorishly
over minor mishap, the ripping of
seams in a tail coat-until the whole
scene became an interlude of over
acted nonsense.
Both time and talent were ex-
pended extravagantly on Panama
Hattie" hit Broadway musical
which lost, in the process of studio
deodorizing, all of the dynamic
quality which won stage reviewers.
Red Shelton would find it hard to
survive as top flight comic if again
left as bereft of visible material as
this screen musical provided.
Hollywood paid 100000 for the
rights to John Steinbeck's Moon
Is Down." which was distinctly sec
ond-rate footlight drama. In the
stage version it was lacking in
dramatic impact, had faulty casting
and, in character development,
failed to do the very things which
audiences logically expected View
ing it twice, this critic noted that
paid patrons expected the Quisling
of the play to be Inundated, at
least one of the German general
staff officers to be taken down
peg Hollywood will unquestionably
give Steinbeck's play new values
In its screen transposition, but, from
this distant outpost, it appears
further miscasting to have Sir
Cedric Hardwicke, with his British
accent, playing a German officer.
Burlesque Plays Eyed.
Another of Broadway's flops, "The
Land Is Bright" by George S. Kauf-
man and Edna Ferber, has been
acquired by Director Sam Wood and
soon goes into production. Having
paid 100000 for the script, the pre-
sumption is that Sam Wood saw an
opportunity, by skilled revision, of
detouring 1t to the highway of popu-
lar fancy. 1t has been done. No
tably in the case of Farewell to
Arms" which perished ANONYMOUSLY
as a footlight saga, but became a
screen gem.
The tone of at least two of the
reigning Broadway hits is distinctly
low and ribald. These are strip
for Action" the Lindsay Grouse
strip-tease frolic, and Star and
Garter" another sojourn in the
realm of burlesque, Yet Hollywood
producers are eyelng them fondly,
and one may expect to hear that
they have been acquired for the
screen, though the office of Will H.
Hays may raise its hands in horror.
Some studio numskull once paid
