This channeling of films, accord

forces to produce and distribute
series of 26 dramatic and entertain
ing short films considered vital to

brought to the screens of the coun-

difference. All receipts above actual
cash expenditures for production
and film costs will be donated to
various war charities.
Twelve of these features are al
ready before the cameras, with the
remainder now in preparation and
scheduled for early production.
Variety Of Themes.
They cover a variety of topical
themes, ranging from an exposition
OF how to keep fit to graphic por-

moral that free people will forever

Instituted at the suggestion OF Ell

He Is but Fall Guy for the Gossipers
Victim of Jealous Press Agents and Columnists,
Enrol Flynn Refues Few Legends of Himself
By Robert Myers,
Wide World.


I asked Enrol Flynn If it wer,
true that he owed money to womer
and to bartenders when he left the
tiny island of Tasmania.
He nodded, very seriously, and hi.
close friend, a knockabout, likeable
stunt man in the movies named
Buster Wiles, chimed in.
That's right" Buster declared
~I know. because I was the guy who
steered him into the saloons"
Sure" Flynn continued, that
report is perfectly true, or rather
it would be except for one thing
When l left Tasmania I was only
2 years old!''
That ended another of the fam
tastic stories circulated ahout-and
against-Errol Flynn, a story given
to me On supposedly good authority.
Flynn confirmed the next one,
though He isn't the most popular
actor in HOLLYWOOD. He said there
might be some one who is disliked
more, but he couldn't name him
offhand. Why?
That has often puzzled me, and
I really don't know the answer, :"
He smiled and swung his leg over
the arm of his chair. But there's
nothing I can do about it, So"
Make no mistake about Errol's
movie popularity. He's the biggest
drawing card in the Warner Bros.
stable - pardon. roster - of actors
and that goes for Bette Davis, Ann
Sheridan and even Jimmy Cagney
before he left the studio.
He makes between $1,000 and
$500 a week. and critics notwith-
standing, his pictures are the exhibi-
tors delight.
So it must be that a lot of Mr..
Flynn's unpopularity is centered in
Hollywood-and unconcerned is the
word for Enrol. He doesn't give one
hoot what Hollywood thinks about
him.
He recalled another story. 'It said
I was having a duplicate, stone for
castle in Ireland. Soon after I re-
ceived a letter from my father in
the old country"
The letter, one of those stern
'Dear son" admonitions. said that If
son was erecting a duplicate of the
family's ancestral castle, would
Enrol be so thoughtful as to advise
his father, where this original an
cestral castle was located. Father
would very much like to see the
place.
Flynn apparently was an early
victim of overzealous press agents
and chatter mouth movie gossipers.
There is no record that he tried to
stem the efforts of the former in
those first days of movie life, and
rs for the chatter -mouths-well,
they had field day and are still
at it. Flynn is their strawman, and
they love to prop him up and knock
him down.
I spent several days with the
Flynn-Ann Sheridan-Lewis Mile
stone company on location at Del
Monte and picturesque Monterey
while they made Warmers Edge of
Darkness" And / discovered that
while almost everyone on the picture
the electricians, actors. grips and
lowly extras -. recognize Errols
faults, they also think he is a pretty
regular fellow. fss@sn sn@
Errol himself will tell you very
frankly that he has no grand illu-
sions about his greatness as an
actor. But he has confidence enough
never to undersell his talents and Is
pretty certain he is a good movie
actor. He can prove it with his
weekly pay check.

Josef Meier
Perpetuates
Acting Cycle
Patterson Tradition
In 'Chrisfus' Role
Still FI0urishes

One of the most dificult physical
feats ever performed in the history
Of drama is accomplished by Josef
Meier. featured actor in the world
famous Passion Play which will ap-
pear October through the 18th at
Constitution Hall.
The slight-of-build Meier, who
portrays the role Of the "Christus, "
must carry a cross weighing 160
pounds for nearly five minutes IN
the stirring scene, "On the Road to
Golgotha."
But 1t is no new experience for the
actor. Meier has almost lived the
role OF the Saviour being the sew
enth In his family to play "Christus'
in the original Luenen version. His
whole life, as Josef Meier explains,
has been centered in this drama.
His first appearance fp the pro-
duction was as the Infant Jesus, at
the time his father portrayed the
"Christus." Since then he has spent
So years in the role. numbering 5000
performances, and has been called
the greatest actor of his lineage.
Meier brought the Passion Play
company to the United States in
1892 for It's first tour. As a result
of political unrest in Europe he in
duced the players to remain in this
country, making their new home in
the Black Hills of South Dakota
All members in the caSt of more
than 100 are now American citizens.
The Black Hills Passion Play, old
est in the world, is said to be 400
years older than the Oberammer-
gau production, having first been
produced in Europe in 1242 with the
majority of the characters tradi-
tionally raised in the environment of
the play.
This production Is said to carry
more scenery and technical effects
than any other to date. The last
seven days of Christ on earth are
re-enacted in % scenes divided into
prologue, the Ascension, the life and
suffering. the Death and the Resur-
rection OF Jesus of Nazareth.

by the Washington Lions Club, for
the benefit of its charities fund and

for the reason he isn't. Flynn has
tried to enlist twice, and been re-
jected. He went to two specialists,
hoping for correction, but no dice.
He has lung condition which COM
plete rest might or might not cure.
I must confess that at no time
did I ask Flynn about his present
love life, OF even about his publicized
marriage and separation from the
lovely Lili Damita. I mentioned this
deliberate oversight and he said he d
noticed 1t.
