Funcies
By Paul Harrison

HOLLYWOOD, June Is The
handful OF tourists in Movie town
soon will get a break long denied
pre-war visitors. They'll see pic
lures in the making. This doesn't
mean that studios have taken the
keep Out" signs off their gates;
IL means the film companies are
about to venture out along the
boulevards and residential streets,
among office buildings and parks
and elegant estates, to find ready
built sets for some new features.
In the early silent days, when the
cinema was something less than an
art or a stable industry, lots of
films were made in and around
private homes and in business dis
tricts. More movies have been shot
in Griffith Park than in any stu
dio Producers had to watch every
dime.
| sNow that Hollywood is rich and
respectable, it is restrained by gov
ernment order from spending more
than $500 on new materials for set
construction per picture.
PRINCELY PROPS
In many cases, this is ample, but
IL is not likely to remain so as
supplies diminish. Location depart
mentS are making fresh surveys of
the city, taking thousands of snap
shots and reclassifying available
types OF mansions, gardens, ranch
eS, and beach homes.
There are disadvantages Of trans
port, noise and crowd manage
ment in making pictures outside
the studios, but these seem more
than balanced now by the neces-
sity for saving lumber, paint, nails
and fabrics.
Along with sightseers, charity
will get break through this trend.
About 5000 of the aforementioned
homes, gardens, pools and such al
ready are listed with the Film Lo-
cations Bureau, a branch of the
Hollywood Assistance League.
When the Bureau rents an estate
to a movie company for, say, S400
day, the owner gets $l00, and rs
per cent, of $500, goes to charity.
IRKED MAGNATE
The bureau was started about 80
years ago, when Cecil DeMille was
filming a super-sequence at an ele-
CANT estate borrowed from Han
cock Banning, transportation mag
nate and former owner of Cata-
lima Island.
After the first day of the movie
company's visitation, Squire Ban
ming took look around his place
and wrathfully renamed it the
Shambles. Extras had trampled the
lawns and flowerbeds, comedians
had fallen through the hothouse
glass, technicians had ruthlessly
chopped away interfering shrub
berry. When DeMille and his horde
arrived next day, they found the
gates locked.
In this impasse, the director
turned to Mrs. DeMille, who knew
Mrs. Hancock Banning socially.

Output
Over
Hump

CHICAGO, June Is (UP) = War
production Director Donald M. Mel
son believes that the nation is
"over the hump" in production but
that it has just begun to suffer
the hardships it must endure to
win the war.
Addressing a Macarthur day
crowd of 100000 in Soldiers Field
yesterday, Nelson praised the ma
tion'sl industries for their rapid
conversion to war production but
warned the public it faced great
upsets in its daily life and that
man. small business firms faced
failure.
I'VE can honestly say" Nelson
said, that as far as production
itself is concerned, we are over the
hump. But as for the inconveni-
ences, discomforts and hardships
that you and I will have to endure
why, we haven't even got to the
foothills yet"
FOOD AFFECTED
I'VE are just beginning to learn
that we can't drive our autos to
suit ourselves while the war lasts.
before we get through we'll get an
equal or greater jar in every single
part of our daily lives. We won t
get the homes we want, or all the
kinds and varieties of food we want
1--WE won't be able to do much
travelling for fun and when we do
travel we'll go by train instead
of auto, and we'll probably sit up
in day coaches instead of riding
in Pullmans."
We'll see good many thriving
little business enterprises go out
Of business, and q great many
people will find themselves taking
on new jobs for the duration we
will pay taxes as we never paid
them before, and we'll do lot of
things until it really hurts every
single one of us
Nelson praised General MacAr-
thur for being more than a great
military leader" and paid tribute to
him as symbol of the courage, en-
durance and magnificent fighting
qualities of the American soldier
1--WE know that our fighting men
are going to win this war; he
said, but let us not forget that
We at home could lose it for them
if we failed to play our parts prop

Peace Enforcement

tUP)-Ambassador DR.. Hu Shih
said today the new world order
to be set up after the war must
be league to enforce peace" in
stead of a league of peace.
He told the graduating class at
Wellesley College that the interna-
tional order set up after the last
world war was probably good
enough" for the peaceful and peace
loving nations, "but it was not good
enough for the premeditated and
determined aggressor- Estates such as
Japan, Italy and Germany"
The new world order, he said,
must be an international organiza-
tiOn based upon the principle of a
threat of overwhelming power to
prevent aggressive wars, and must
command a sufficient amount of in
ternationally organized and inter-
nationally supported force for the
effective enforcement of it's own
