Tone Can't Pick
Own Stories and
He Admits It

HOLLYWOOD. July 14-Ten
years of acting in motion pictures
hasn't convinced Franchot Tone
that he or any other star knows
more about picking his own movie
stories than the production bosses
of a studio.
It's a little surprising 20 learn
this from a chap like Tone, who
is college graduate, an expert
enced stage actor as well as
screen star and a person who Is
admittedly a serious thinker and
reader.
Many a star plans for the day
when he or she can make separate
picture deals" and decide on the
type of stories they want TO do.
Tone is in that position He is
signed with Paramount 10 star in
two pictures a year, with a vide
latitude on what they'll be and
when made. He can take films al
other studios. Certainly, he is al
the point where he can select OF
reject.
Despite all this. Tone never
asked for his current role in The
Hour Before the Dawn - He die
not demand 10 read the script
first. He merely was told by the
studio that it was going 10 team
him with Veronica Lake in The
Hour Before the Dawn, and that
was good enough for him. 1t was
the same way with his preceding
picture. give Graves 10 Cairo.
Tone let the studio decide for him

Hilarious
At BOWery

JERRY BERGEN, 4 a m o u s
comedian of stage and screen, is
topping the variety bill at the
Bowery this week. which is re-
plete with headline talent. Ber-
gen il rs f funny ever with his
panto, his fiddling and his "oper-
attic singing. There is a surprise
as part of the operate music
which we won't divulge, as 1t
might spoil the fun for you.
Good news for localities is that
the Giro Rimac troupe Of talented
Latins, including the beautiful
Camargo, are hold-overs. Their
rumba dancing. wild native rou7
tines and fine singing are an
evenings entertainment in them
selves.
Newcomer on the lineup is
Rudy Horn, an unusually gifted
Young man. He does comedy
magic. rhythm dancing, impress
sions and an acrobatic drunk.
The latter is a bowler and gar
nered him a big hand on opening
night. Romantic ballroom team,
the D'Aguiars, score in a rumba
ballroom dance, but really bring
down the house in a Portuguese
polka, graceful and very gay.
Helen Charlse. French and
from Paris, does a most intrigu-
ing dance titled Dragon Moods, a"
and another. Devils Delight" "
Her costumes are weird and gro
tesque and altogether different.
Paddy Cliff is his usual virile self
and as popular as ever as he
swings "Pagliacci' and the other
classics. Dian Rowland continues
10 charm in her exotic dances.
It's still Hal and Dolly in

fine music Of Ben Young and his
orchestra for show and dancing.

Porter Hall Plays
AmiabIe Villains

ABOUT THE unplessantest
-vitfauls one could have the i'll
luck to meet on the home front
must be the type that Porter Hall
has a patent on. He will leer at
you in sinister fashion, eXhale a
slow puff into your face. flick off
his cigarette ash and leave you
quelled but internally raging.
True, the villains Hall mani
tests on the screen go about their
villainies in subtle fashion, but
that only makes them the more
aggravating. The worse the screen
villain, the more amiable person
he is off screen. Hall is an eX-
treme exponent of this double
edged truism.
