that Miss Arthur's merry mining
always has appealed rather widely.
But when the picture began to es-
tablish record hold-overs nearly
everywhere, the intimations of the
experience were not lost.
Heretofore, the faith of the stu
dios in lighter entertainment had
found its expression in the musical.
The idea was that it was necessary
only to get singing or dancing, or
maybe even comedy star, pick up
a name band, dust of a few old sets
which could be repainted to look
like new, and turn out the ideal
escape entertainment. The weak
ness of this formula lay in the cir
cumstance that there are a great
many people who, instead Of being
entertained by what is called live,
are frightened into complete apathy
by it. Few of them appeared among
the patrons who were composed pri-
marily of juveniles wearing auto
graphed raincoats, sloppy moccasins.
and the other informal habiliments
of youth. The pictures were making
money but not as much money as
their makers believed fitting and
proper. Their perfection as esca apist
fare began, accordingly, to be ques-
toned.
Washington Is Funny.
That is why they are being sup
plemented now by the well-dressed
airy comedy which seems to be draw
ing all classes, as If the type had
been rationed too long and too Sc
verely.
Washington, where life is very
funny if you live somewhere else,
is destined to be the theme of several
OF these light-hearted screendramas
as 1t was Of THE More the Merrier"
and THE Dougheirls," the latter q
fabulous success in the theater.
Paramount, for instance, is about
ready to release an item called
Standing Room Only" which re-
lates, as the title implies, to the
housing situation in the Nations
Capital. 1t is strictly situation COM

heeled transients who solve the
shelter problem by taking jobs as
maid and butler in one of the city's
most elaborate private homes.

High time seemed to be the
only logical answer to the promise.

Slapstick With Chic
BY Jay Carm ody.

Chic slapstick, the sort Of thing
that stars Jean Arthur or perhaps
Barbara Stanwyck, once was one OF
Hollywood's preferred forms Of en-
tertainment. The spectacle of a
beautiful dressed, refined girl being
trapped in barroom brawl, or being
basted with rich meringuey blob OF
pastry was dear to enough hearts to
make such pictures profitable. Some
very good pictures came along in the
cycle, too. "The Lady Eve" "Destry
Rides Again. Nothing Sacred"
my Man Godfrey" and many
others. They made the public happy
and Hollywood rich and there was
no indication that there ever would
be an end to the cycle.
The war, however, began to get
serious about that time-the turn
of the decade-and Hollywood got
serious too.
1t was little surprising that It
should for the conversation out
there used to be about the desperate
need for escape entertainment.
Something should be done to re-
lieve the grimness of the front pages
and the radio. the cinema savants
would say, shaking their heads in
fine mimicry of wisdom and saga
city.
1t Was a Betrayal.
The intimations of these fine
words and emphatic gestures was
that Hollywood was just the place
to take care Of that deep need of the
haunted, human heart. You could
just see Irene Dunno, Ginger Rogers,
Miss Stanwyck and all the other
hoydenish spirits being rushed into
the breach. You could see it, how
ever, only with your minds eye,
for the real one began to fall in
shocked surprise upon an endless
parade of shrieking, snarling and
sadistic NaZis. 1t seemed little sad
grew to be a great bore, and left a
large section of the population with
feeling that Hollywood had be-
trayed whatever gift Of laughter was
left in the world.
There are intimations now, how
ever, that the cinema is out to re-
deem itself. to redress the balance
to tighten the burden on the heart
of the customers.
1t has marked with great interest
that comedy is an extremely popular
commodity.
A recent picture to intimate what
an error was made in letting the
type sort of go by default was Holy
Matrimony." That one. starring
Monty Wooley and Oracle Fields
turned out to be fine object lesson
1t was made at no very great cost
neither star being in the fabulous
pay bracket-aS tentative sort OF
inquiry into the appetite for such
things. 1t was not slapstickish af-
fair, by any means. On the contrary
it was a highly intelligent, relatively
subtle narrative, full of quick, off
hand and ironic dialogue, and not
the sort of thing which was counted
upon to attract great audiences
That, however, turned out to be the
size audience it did attract despite
the handicap of no big-name stars
and a story that was regarded as
being a little too artful for mass
appeal.
Starvation Indicated.
An earlier indication Of the deer
yearning for such fare was Miss
Arthur's and Joel McCrea's starring
vehicle, The More the Merrier'
i 1t was less surprising, of course, in

HOLLYWOOD.


Imagine flock of movie stars,
expert -stealers and space
grabbers. all squeezed into special
train and riding around the country
for three weeks without committing
murder!
Sounds impossible, doesn't it? But
that's what happened last month
when Hollywood's Victory Commit
tee sent out a group of its highest
powered personalities to help put
over the Third War Loan drive.
So far as temperamental display
Is concerned. it was dull, unevent-
ful trip. There wasn't even a minor
quarrel to spice up the going. Old
timers figure it set some sort OF q
record for tranquility among the
touchy. Others shook their heads
dolefully and said Hollywood was
going soft"
What's happened to all the petty
pickering among actors, the feuds
that once inspired colorful copy
from the screen capital, the walk
outs and the suspensions? No one
knows, but the war probably can be
blamed. The boys and girls have
either declared a secret armistice or
are doing their seething unobservec,
What, No Feuding?
The fact remains there hasn't
been good over-the-fence fight
since Bette Davis and Miriam Hop
kins squared off for their bloodless
battle during the filming of The
Old Maid" That was way back in
1899. Teamed again this year in
Warner Bros "Old Acquaintance" !"
Betty and Miriam conducted them
selves not like old acquaintances,
but as old friends. At least they
said Good morning and Good
night" Gossip columnists registered
acute disappointment.
The old fight between Bette and
Miriam started like 98 per cent CT

Smacks Headlong
Into Superstition
BY the Associated Press


HOLLYWOOD.
A great many supertSitions have
been added to the newer theatrical
traditional jinxes of the film busi-
ness, which is natural enough con-
sidering the influx of stage players
to the celluloid capital. But both
stage and screen superstitions got a
sizeable jolt from Washington with
the ukase that estimates on expect
ed earnings be filed with income
tax reports. For contract players,
this would seem easy enough in
financial way, but there is a deep
rooted belief that it's unlucky to
count on money before receiving it
from Job.
The case of the free-lance player
is doubly bad, for not only is he un-
able to make such an estimate in
most cases, but since he hasn't got
the possible jobs cinched, his super
stitions are likely to be a lot strong
er than the contract player. A case
in point is Vladimir Sokoloff, Rus
sian actor, who baked at violating
the tabu but decided his new Amer
lean citizenship was lucky enough
to make 1t safe for him to take the
chance.
