HOLLYWOOD.
The purchase of Wendell WILKES
book, "One World" at a reported
price of s25o,Oo0, to be screened at
Twentieth Century-Fox, adds an
other huge contemporary history
opus to the schedule of that studio.
Already in preparation is the life
of Woodrow Wilson, First World
War President, which will cost be-
tween two and four million dollars
to make. The Capitol. the Palace of
Versailles and many other such
items will be reproduced for the
film in the most elaborate produc-
ton Hollywood has seen in years.
The "One World" filming will ne
cessitate similar mammoth sets
These pictures are projects of
Daryl Zanuck. who originally rose
to success at Warner Bros. through
his astute use of news headlines as
bases for film stories. This, at that
time, led him into gangster cycle,
but by applying the same basic idea
Of news headlines and their reflec-
ton in public thought Zanuck now
arrives in much bigger and better
company.
The ambitious though recently
retired, Col. Zanuck is now into po-
litically big time stuff with these
two productions. The move typifies
the inherent character of Zanuck,
who loves to climb on the band
wagon and can be depended on to
blow the biggest and loudest horn.
Profits Are Satisfactory.
Doubtless other politically minded
producers. like Louis B Mayer, who
hobnobbed around the White House
in Hoovers time, are eyeing this
latest maneuver of their fellow
producer with envy.
An angle of this transaction is
the light thrown on present-day
Aim profits. The war has brought
not the anticipated calamity, but
prosperity, to the film industry. OBJ
viously such budgets and such prices
for screen material are based on ex-
pected profits from the investments.

In making an arresting piece of
entertainment and a beautiful thing
to see out of Ernest Hemingway
For Whom the Bell Tolls" Para
mount studio has achieved a spe-
clal distinction. 1t lies in the cir
cumStance that the blame for what
ever flaws there are in the drama
and there are several-are more de-
fects in the character of Heming-
ways work than of Paramount's. 1t
is virtually the first time that Holly
wood has been found innocent of
the mlsdemeanor of contributing to
the delinquency of an author. The
truth, which should not obscure the
several and impressive virtues of
For Whom the Bell Tolls" simply
is that Hemingway wrote some
thing less than surprisingly great
story. Crafty, or out of sheer awe
for the authors dimensions, Para
mount went all the way with him.
It's cameras record the blemishes as
well as the merits of For Whom the
Bell Tolls" --..-....s-es----,- .--
To come to the merits of the long
picture e hours and 48 minutes)
which is having its premiere show
ing here at the Rivoli Theater, at
extra special prices, they add up to
a very considerable thing. Hem
ingWay's tale of conflict in Spain
constituted gallery of arresting
characters. So does the movie. 1t
told fascinating, if not altogether
relevant, love story. Gary Cooper
and Ingrid Bergman give it an un-
forgettable Interpretation, lift it we'll
beyond the dimensions of even the
better romances of the screen. It's
setting was thing of majesty and
visual brilliance, and Paramounts
technlcolOr version is memorable
piece of painting. (Our companion
at the Rivoli was lady who used to
ski in the same mountains. She was
virtually swept away by the reminis-
cent loveliness of the setting of For
Whom the Bell Tolls"o. These three
elements of the original are COM
bined into suspenseful and dra-
matte narrative. For that, thanks
are due to Sam Woods intelligent
direction, Dudley Nichols writing
and to some superb pieces of por-
traiture by Katrina Paxinou (Pilar)
Akin Tamiroff pablo, Vladimir
Sokolof (Anselmo) and numerous
others.
Picture Is Objective.
Hemingways report on Spain's
civil war never was a document to
satisfy the furious idealists who saw
the conflict as the cradle of the cur
rent war for freedom. Nor will the
picture satisfy them. 1t portrays
both parties to the struggle as cruel,
rather stupid, seekers after power.

There are two big reasons why
the success of Tomorrow the
World" has Ralph Bellamy smiling
these days-this is the first time
a play hasn't closed on him within
two weeks and he is a stockholder
in the production.
Bellamy has been in the acting
business for 13 years, mostly on
the screen. His first appearance in
New York was in the play Town
Boy" which closed in two days
Roadside his next. lasted only
two weeks, but that was long enough
for movie agents to spot him and
lure him to Hollywood.
All in all Ralph appeared in 83
movies. But as you know I was
always the guy that lost the girl, -
he chuckled, always little slow
and little dumb-a Bellamy part.
That's true. I can remember al
ways wondering when Ralph Bel
lamy would get his girl. 1t was dis
coursaging, for he is tall, slim and
good looking.
That is why, perhaps, that am
pleased I am in this particular
play. I think it has significance in
its theme of the problem of Nazi-
trained youth.
A Seventeen Search.
II have been looking for a good
play like Tomorrow the World for
seven years. It's quite a risk giving
up the safety of movies and ventur-
ing into a stage play. In movies you
may make flop, but by the time

Federal Housing Heads, Farm Leaders at Odds
 Over StratfOrd Project

Bridgeport, Conn.,, May 20.-CUP) The governments condemnation of 83 acres of farmland at Stratford to construct temporary homes for 1700 Chance-V -Vought aircraft work CTS, precipitated an argument today between Federal Housing experts adn farm leaders as to the relative importance of food and planes in winning the war,
 Five pieces of Property compos- ing the tract. was leased by the government under condemnation early in the spring, as suitable and convenient site for the homes, many of which now are nearing completion
 A spokesman for the Federal Pub lie Housing Authority admitted the land owners weren't too pleased" over the seizure, but that after long consideration of the project, it was decided--in this caSe--it was more important to have planes than food"
 Also, he said, War Production Board restrictions prevented the au- thority from acquiring other land in the vicinity, which was not so convenient.
 Prof. Albert F. Wilkinson of Uni versity of Connecticut. an expert for 40 years on vegetabl growing, char acterized the condemnation as 'boner" on the part of the govern ment, and contradictory to its policy of urging greater food production.
 With little cooperation between government departments at Wash ington," he said, less useful farm land a quarter of mile away could have been produced for the hous- ing "instead of taking some of the best farm land in the state."
 Farm Management Prof. Paul L. Putnam at University of Connecti- cut, avoiding being involved in this particular dispute, stressed the nec- essity of producing more food to win the war.
 Putnam said that food was valu- able weapon of the army in invad- ing Europe, and he felt that flood, more than bullets" may determine the outcome of our success in Italy.
