HOLLYWOOD, May 20 - If
people believe what they see in the
movies, Sonia Henie's new picture
would cause whole brigades of
rockies to try to Wangle service in
Iceland The impression you get on
the set is that the sub-arctic island
is peopled almost exclusively by
beautiful, warm hearted, short
skirted gals who are fond of music,
dancing and gents in uniform.
The scenery is austere enough,
for in all direction you see barren
cliffs or painted stretches of sullen,
gray ocean. The immediate atmo-
sphere and climate around the
hotel at Re;kjavik, however, are
like that of Lake Placid or Sun
Valley during a chorus girls con-
vention.
1t would have been easy for
20th-FoX to troduce these
Sprightly cuties as a musical COM
edy troupe cast away in Iceland
by the torpeding of a liner.
When / asked John Payne Whe-
ther he skates in the picture, he
replied that he doesn't do much
of anything. What chance has a
leading man got against a couple
OF stealing comedians like
Jack Oakie and Bressart?" he de-
manded. The best I can do is stand
still and underplay everything and
hope that sooner or later the con-
traSt will cailSe audiences tn look
at me-"
Hollywood is guilty of a lot of
unblushing Misrepresentation such
as the Iceland" picture, but more
often there is amazing authenticity
even in the most trivial details On
the set of Orchestra Wife" where
scene in a doctors office was
about to be filmed, I glanced at
some papers provided by the prop
erty man for the doctor to be
thumbing over while he talked
with Ann Rutherford For all that
The camera could see of them, these
might as well have been bills OF
lading or letters from the studio
fan mail department. Instead, they
were carefully filled-out clinical
charts plus specially typed letter
regarding an order for medical sup
plies.

manian count named Phillip DESC
