. HARRISON IN
HOLLYWOOD.
BY PAUL HARRISON
(NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Hollywood It's obvious Deanne
Durbin wasn't Joking during The
long quarrel with her studio, bu
she's just the gal who could have
done It. None of her movie role.
70 date has reflected more than tht
least fraction of the impish quality
that hides behind her proper
young-m atronish demeanor. Hal.
of Hollywood, for instance, believes
her walkout from Universal was
partly due to resentment of Charles
Laughton In 1T Started With Eve
and belief that he had stolen the
picture.
Today heard about the SQUAD
b1es of Bob Cummings, laughter
and Miss Durbin, and my inform
ant was one of the actress greatest
admirers - Mr.. Laughton himself
Fhe three OF them worked out a
number of routines to plague execu-
tives or visitors-either to gain q
rest or to get revenge, or maybe just
for the heck of it.
STARTING CAMPAIGN
One day Miss Durbin was gen.
timely angered by contemptuous-
ly loud remark from one of a party
of women visitors. The stranger
said the ginger ale being slipped by
The young actress was probably part
whiskey. Soon afterward Laughton
and Cummings began campaign
Of retaliation by staring and whis-
pering. With studied Indifference
they'd stroll past the offending visi-
tor, but always would manage to
glance at her.
That gives you an idea. A more
subtle scheme of ribbing was one
that preyed on victims curiosity.
One of the three principals, perhaps
Cummings, would engage him de-
terminedly in dull conversation. Miss
Durbin and Laughton then would
move within earshot and begin an
animated discussion of something
apparently very exciting or spicy
Held fast by the earnest platitudes
and questions Of Cummings. and
perhaps even physically restrained
the victim would be bending an car
toward the other conspirators, try
ing to catch the gist Of their talk.
ARGUING ARTISTS
The stimulation OF bitter quarrels
was always an easy way to clear a
even Hollywood brass hats make tip
toe exits when stellar temperament
explodes. Laughton usually started
them by posing as the elder player
offended by some outrageous bit OF
dramatic rudeness or hoggishness by
either Cummings or Miss Durbin.
Stalking out of a scene he'd say
quietly, but with apparent effort in
controlling his anger: "Of course
you're fairly new in this business
but must warn you that if you
keep on trying such obvious tricks
you'll be completely out of pictures
within year"
This would bring bitter outbursts
from Cummings or Miss Durbin, and
In minute all three would be yell
ting at each other. Visitors would
be hustled off the set, and some
times even the director, technicians
md other players would drift out
,ide for breath of air. The three
rieLds then would relax and talk
lboul the war.

new TECHNICOLOR
CINEMA AT STATE
Jimmy Cagney Starred in
Captains of the Clouds
With Brenda Marshall

Currently thrilling audiences al
Warmers State theater Is the spec.
tacular air thriller Captains Of
the Clouds" in technicolor starring
James Cagney in what is reported
to be his greatest role.
In a career which has beer
studded with brilliant performances
his role as the daredevil flyer In
the new technicolor picture emerges
as the grandest of them all.
Captains of the Clouds" is a
story of the Royal Canadian Air
Force, and it is a story of glory, a
story of thousands Oh men who
hourly risk their lives that democracy
may survive. Magnificently direct
ed and photographed, superbly act
ed and brilliantly written, the new
motion picture is one OF the most
vital and enthralling entertainments
the screen has provided in many
years.
The picture tells of the dare
devil bush pilots of the North Woods
country who Join the Royal Cam
adam Air Force, only to find that
in spite of their years of flying
experience they are not eligible to
be fighter pilots because they are
too old. Instead they are as
signed to teaching jobs. Cagney, as
the most iEdividualistic of them
all, finds himself constantly in hot
water because of his disregard of
rules, and his insistence that good
pilot "flys by the seat OF his
pants"
A large and able cast supports
Cagney in the film. There is Dennis
Morgan, handsome and virile young
leading man, who more than full
fills the prophecies made for his
success after his many fine per-
formances. Brenda Marshall. whose
flashing brunette beauty is fully re-
vealed for the first time by the
technicolor cameras, is completely
believeable as flirtatious and viz
enish French-C Canadian girl who
plays havoc with the hearts of the
pilots. Alan Hale, George
Tobias and Reginald Gardiner, as
an Irish, Canadian and English
flyer. respectively, each turn in
memorable performances.
"All American Co-Ed' with Fran
ces Langford anud Johnny Downs
is the second big hit OF the pro-
gram.
Music, mirth and madness will be
the keynotes OF the new Abbott
Costello screamsation ride 'em
which makes its local
debut at the State starting We'd
nesday next. IN addition to the IA
nous comedy team the cast boasts
such sure-fire entertainers as Dick
Fora,l, Anne GWynne, Johnny Mack
Brown, the Merry Macs, Ella F'itz-
gerald and the i-Hatters, the
Buckaroo Band and the Ranger
Chorus of 40 contributing musical
specialties. "Sealed Lips" with Will
liam Gargan, June Clyde, John Ii
tel and Anne Nagel will be the Sec
ond hit of the program.

Team Arrives
With New Pilot,
New Confiden@
Ray Eliot to Drill
Them Today at U. D.,
Spend Night Here
By BOB MURPHY

The man who put the sparkle
In Champaign, tall Ray Eliot, new
coach of Illinois, arrived in De-
troit today with his football team.
Illinois meets Michigan's VOL
lverines tomorrow afternoon at
Ann Arbor. This time the Illini
comes not as Big Ten sparring
partner, but a grid adversary
capable of beating back the best
Michigan has to offer.
| Victor over Minnesota and Iowa
In successive weeks and loser to
Notre Dame by only the margin
o ia touchdown, Eliot's spirited
team is conceding the Wolverines
absolutely nothing-and rightly so.
Illinois will work out this after
noon at the University of Detroit
stadium and then spend the night
at Hotel Statler.
We're here for . fight," said
modest Mr.. Eliot.
GRADS IMPRESS
II was apparent that he was
impressed by the spirit and effer-
vescence of the Illinois old grads
who met the train when il arrived
today.
This was grand year for ILL
nois to pick Detroit as the stop
over spot. In other years they
either have gone to Ann Arbor or
spent the night before the game
at Dearborn Inn. You can wager
the shrewd MIR. Mike Tobin, press
agent for Illinois, saw the wisdom
of this.
There was only one sad note In
1.-THE Illini arrival. Dick Good, the
teams best passer. Is out of the
game. He has his right leg in
cast.
The Illinois team of this year
impressed you as one with q lot
Iof confidence. They tell you, indi-
IviduaIly or collectively. that the
Notre Dame defeat Of q week ago
was hard for them to take. They
think, with any luck at all, the
game easily could have ended In
no worse than a tie for the Illini.
MORE TOUCHES
As for Michigan's durable line,
the so-called Seven Oak Posts"
Illinois points to q record that
causes even Michigan to stop, look
and listen. Engel, the right end,
played the full so minutes against
Minnesota, Iowa and Notre Dame.
Kasap. tackle. played 60-51-50, re-
tspectively. Agase, the brilliant
lguard, was in there banging AWAY
60-51-H. Wens kunas. center,
played 60-50-50. Pawlowski, guard,
saw action 60-59-41. Cerus, the
other tackle, played 50-52-59.
So one thing seems certain.
Michigan and Illinois will stake
all the blue chips on their opening
lineups. Both teams are light on
reserve material.
Don Robinson, Walverine half
back, who played so magnificently
against Minnesota, is not expected
TO see service against Illinois. He
| is troubled with q shoulder injury.
SEE PUNTING DUEL
But Tom Kuzma, who scored
both of Michigan's touchdowns
against the Gophers, should be
even better against Illinois.
One of the features Of the game
tomorrow may well be the punt
ing dual between Buck Corral,
Illinois halfback. and Kuzma.
Both specialize on one thing -
kicks that 60 out of bounds In
side the opposing 10-yard line.
Wally Weber, Michigan scout.
calls Correll the equal OF any
punter in the Western Conference.
