Four Different Kissing Techniques
Revealed in 'Johnny Come Lately

Even Cupid bows to the fact
that every one Of his many fol-
lowers has a different manner Of
kissing. To prove that there are
kisses-and kisses, he points to
James Cagney's new starring
vehicle, Johnny Come Lately"
due on this week at the Loew's
New Valentine Theatre thru Unit
ed Artists release. First indie
pendent production Of the Acad-
emy Award winners brother, Will
liam Cagney, this exciting story
of newspaper life at the turn-of-
the-century presents four sets Of
kisses and each one is different
type.
There's the devotion variety,
for instance, between James Gag
ney and Grace George. AS vaga-
bond newspaperman who helps
widowed lady publisher in a cru
sade for reform, Cagney becomes
so attached to the elderly and gen.
tie lady that he kisses her tender
ly and tells her she's his girl.
The romantic or popular variety
of kiss is more or less passion
ate brushing of lips between Mar
jorie Lord, the publishers pretty
niece, and Bill Henry, headstrong
son Of a contractor who heads the
forces against which the lady pub
Usher launches an attack. Since
the story is laid in 1906, when a
kiss was a dangerous thing, there's
no six-second limitation as an OBJ
stacle.
The lovers reconciliation peck is
the third type, and that's between
couple who have quarreled and
since made up. In the case Of
Johnny Come Lately" this kiss
takes place between Marjorie
Main, who, after seven years in
pictures, finally wins a man, and
Robert Barrat, who plays politi-
clan to Miss Mains cafe propri-
etress. Since both are middle-aged
their brand of kiss does more to
seal a bargain than to reveal a
pent-up love.

subjects have been shown round
the world, this company is today
the vanguard in the making of
war training films, in providing
skilled technicians for the armed
forces, and in aiding the war eff
fort in scores of ways.
1t has many famous stars now
in uniform who have seen active
service from the South Pacific to
Germany. And the company today
has over three hundred employees
in the armed forces than it had
total employees nineteen years ago
when the company was founded.
In May, 1924, when the COM
pany was organized, its plant COW
cred forty acres, had six small
stages-for silent pictures, talk
les" being a mere scientific idea at
that time-and employed 625 per-
sons.
Today the studio covers 175
acres, has 81 huge sound stages,
and employees a daily average OF
4750 persons.
Pioneer employees recalled today
the Memorial Day party in 1924,
held to celebrate the merger of the
former Nitro and Louis B. Mayer
companies in what was then the
Goldwyn Studio, Culver City. The
Merger preceded shortly the legal
change to Metro GoIdwyn-Mayer.
The party was held on a flow
cred lawn which is now the site of
four big stages, a wardrobe and
editorial building. Will Rogers pre-
sided and Louis B. Mayer took
over the management of the new
firm.
The star list then included Mar
ion Davies, Mae Murray, the late
John Gilbert, Lillian Gish, the late
Lon CLANCY, Ramon Navarro, An
tonic Moreno, Jackie Coogan and
Buster Keaton.
The new company's first big
productions were the classics Ben
Hur" and "The Big Parade" 9th
er first year pictures included
"The Great Divide" "The Merry
Widow" THE Temptress," which
introduced Greta Garbo, and "He
Who Gets Slapped"
Today, the studio has more big
stars in the armed forces-four-
teen-than it had on it's entire list
in 1924, and the present active
star roster includes many big
names. To support these, M-G-M
has under contract 10l featured
players and an even dozen name
bands.
The 1943 star list includes such
we'll known players as Lucille Ball,
Joan Crawford, Robert Donat,
Lionel Barrymore, Wallace Beery,
Irene Dunno, Judy Garland, Greer
Carson, Katharine Hepburn, Lau-
rel and Hardy, Hedy LAMAR,
Charles Laughton, Myrna 10y,

7LREs Gossip Stage Screen
lStaFs OF Tomorrow!
BY Ethel Vine

One of M-G-M's newest young
starlets is Nancy Walker, an
aighteen-year-old brunette who
will make her screen debut IN the
musical, BEST Foot Forward, "
based on the Broadway hit.
Hollywood has dubbed Nancy
the female Mickey Rooney, due to
her dynamic spirits. She got her
first taste of footlights when she
was a month old and her father,
Dewey Barto, and mother, Myrtle
Lawlor, then a famous vaudeville
team, took her to the theatre with
them. She and her younger sister
Betty learned their ABC's in e
theatrical trunk, she says.
Nancy was born in Philadel-
phia, but soon became as familiar
with most of the cities and hari-
lets of the United States as other
children are with their own back
yards, thanks to the sleeper jumps
she took with her trouping par
ents.
