Cabin
|NeU Star

By CHARLES GENTRY

FILM FANS who have been
clamoring for a clear American
view OF the French film star, Jean
Cabin, will get their wish Friday
when the Gallo star appears in
his first Hollywood picture, Moon
tide"
Usually the accent bugaboo has
been the principal delay in debuts
OF foreign stars, but in this case
the producers threw away the
first-grade gramp1ars and went
right 10 work on Cabin with in
jections of slang.
We've never been quite able TO
understand why a company, hap-
ing spent thousands importing a
foreign star, have not been happy
until that star speaks with a
Brooklyn accent.
They always act like Partisan
or Viennese infection was just an
I impeachment in their speech and
the sooner il sounded like Du-
buque, Ia. the quicker that char
acter would be taken to the film
lpublic's heart.
With Cabin, however, Fox has
been smart enough 10 take that
Apache growl and turn il into the
gruff voice of San Francisco
waterfront longshoreman.
A GABLE IN SLANG
The result is that Cabin has
learned 10 yell "jamoke" for a
"cuppacawfee" and that sweet
mystery of life" is hash no matter
how you serve it.
In word, he has the vernacular
by heart even if he hasn't ac-
Iquired the Presidents English.
This American "patois" came to
him quickly enough because he has
"a particularly facile mind. but il
has played havoc with his social
life.
The funniest story they tell is
about his first date with Ginger
Rogers. She was invited to dinner
by proxy but found out that all
Cabin could say in English was
hello and some brilliantly banal
remark about the weather. He was
afraid to speak 10 her in the
tongue the studio had been teach
ing him!
But, recalling his performances
in Grand Illusion" and the other
French Aims, we don't think this
argot is going TO particularly him
der him.
TYPICAL VAGABOND
He Is great actor and we are
particularly anxious TO see what
impression his first American pic
ture will have.
Tall, casual and tousel haired
Cabin has long been a favorite
with Partisan audiences. although
at first he tried - dodge an act
ing career.
He was a laborer. worker in
an iron foundry, a taxi driver and
a soldier.
when war broke out ne enlisted
in the French marines and found
himself on a minesweeper. escap-
ing to this countdry after the fall
of France.
A NARROW ESCAPE
