HOLLYWOOD.

HULL WOOD.
The Great Dane has been we'll
fed. as are all movie Danes, great
and otherwise, but he had an ex-
pectant look during the rehearsal
with Orson Welles.
Welles, as Rochester in "Jane
| Eyre" was in the midst of a banquet
in his great baronial hall and, to
show what a prodigal he is with
the fatted calf, he tosses-so it said
in the script-a fine hunk of beef
to his dog.
Welles, no doubt recalling the fine
abandon with which Chuck Laugh
ton flung leg of mutton to the
hounds in Henry VIII" begged to
do the scene as written. But the
director said it would be psychology
ically WRONG even to suggest wasting
meat these days.
And so all the poor Dane got was
Wellesian pat on the head, poor
substitute, from the dogs view
point. In wartime, it can happen
to dog.
The changes, lesser and greater,
that have taken place in movie
making are so many that even Hol-
lywood is little breathless. Short

brought forth an inventiveness to

stories.
For the duration Hollywood is out
not only of Gables and Fondas and
Powers, but food and nails and wire
and lavish sets and silk and cotton.
Why, they're even stuff1ng dummies
with sawdust and paper instead of
cotton.
Banquet scenes, with mountains

Mission to Moscow" an important
eating scene was re-enacted with
only demi tasse cups and empty
wine glasses on the table. Twas a
banquet by inference.
The decision to avoid scenes of
cars speeding around curves and
slashing to sharp stops was serious
blow to the cops-and- d-robbers for
mula, but other thrill scenes which
do not waste or even suggest vast

plausible substitutes.

Helmut Hates Himself
Dastardly Dantine Shudders With
Audience at His Screen Villainies

Dantine, an Austrian whom the
Nazis interned when they marched
into Vienna and now about to get
his final American citizenship pa
pers, hates the Hitler followers as
only man who has suffered at the
hands of despotism can hate them.
Consequently he doesn't mind
dressing up in the uniforms they
wear, and he rather enjoys drawing
screen portrait of the men he
loathes with all the venom he can
gather. Lewis Milestone, the di-
rector of Edge of Darkness" capi-
talized on Dantine's emotional urge
to paint the Nazi commander of
the occupied Norwegian village in
the most glaring colors Of villainy
he could fashion.
Dantine had been well rehearsed
in this task through his previous
role as the wounded Nazi flyer in
Mrs. Mintver." 4

Paulette Goddard, a War bond
tourist second to none, has Mexican
ideas just like Ann Sheridan. She is
periodical visitor to Mexico City,
knows something about Mexican art
and Is becoming expert on Mexican
pottery.
1t goes without saying that Bing
Crosby will appreciate it if you fail
to ask him why his horses do not
win races. This is an aged gag, and
Bing is weary explaining that scme-
times they do win. You'll make a
friend if you let him talk about
sports-golf No. and football No. 2.
In the latter channel, you can go to
town on Notre Dame or Southern
Cal.
Frances Langford's specially is
Alaska, which she visited at great
personal risk recently in order to
sing for Army camps. She has some
hair-raising tales to spin. Carole
Lands, who is getting around plenty,
too, is baseball enthusiast and fol-
lows the major league races closely
enough to spin off individual batting
averages accurately.
Joel's . Rancher.
Joel McCrea will talk happily for
hours about ranches, beef cattle and
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. He's registered with
Uncle Sam as a food producer.
Edward G. Robinson is famous for
his art gallery, one of the best pri-
vate collections in the world-but
don't try to talk to him about it.
He's afraid you might be kidding
and so remains mute on the subject,
But If you start him on world poll
tics, you'll probably have trouble
stopping him. Adolphe Menjous
mind runs the same way and vigor-
ously.
Alan Hale is one of the most salts
factory dinner partners you ever
met. He'll talk on any subject, and
jovially. But Hale has made a for
tune from developing various inven-
tions, from fire extinguishers to the
ater seats, and science Is his spe-
cialty.

A New Idea
Eight People
In a Lifeboat

Remain for Films

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLY WOOD.
Put Producer Kenneth Mac
Gowan, Director Alfred Hitchcock
and Writer John Steinbeck to-
gether and you're bound to get
something unusual.
Hitchcock had the embryo Of an
idea, MacGowan nurtured 1t and
Steinbeck wrote it.
1t all adds up to "Lifeboat," a
future production.
The lankX semi-bald MacGowan,
who has produced SO films-all but
five from original ideas-puffed
placidly on well-worn pipe and
gave the impresson of a man who
had discovered gold as he gave
synopsis Of the story.
Hitchcock got the idea of doing
film on the current tragedy of
war-people adrift in lifeboat.
Ninety-five per cent of the action
will take place in the lifeboat.
There will be motley crew of
eight persons-five men and three
women
I'VE think the mixed emotions,
the undercurrents-not the water
the feelings and the actual life of
eight persons aboard a small boat
will supply sufficient material to keep
the plot rolling" says MacGowan.
"All the action will take place on
this lifeboat with the exception of
the opening and one other scene.
That opening scene will show
freighter in the Atlantic being tor
pedoed by a U-boat. Before the
ship goes down, however, it man.
ages to sink the surfaced sub with
its deck gun.
THE lifeboat salvages the U-boat
captain, the lone sub survivor, and
his presence in the lifeboat lineup
gives impetus to the story"
Others in the boat include a So
phisticated woman journalist, a
nurse, an Englishwoman who loses
her baby in the sinking, a colored
steward, a husky young oiler, the
second radio officer and a Brooklyn
boy.
There are constant clashes of
temperament: the attempts of the
U-boat captain to lure the lifeboat
OH its course to a rendezvous with
mother-sub ship, add to the plot.
The occupants of the lifeboat are
without compass, to produce more
complications. and storm is
thrown in for good measure.

Army men on this subject.
Getting back to Ann Sheridan, the
answer to her conversational pref
erences Is any of the subjects mem

ardent admirer of Mexico, plans to

she was recently appointed United
States commissioner of defense fac

Drawing Claudette Colbert for a

make big hit by merely mentioning
skiing or any winter sport. Claudette

Golden Joins the Army
But Only in Guise of Director
For Five Soldier Dramas

Forty-fourth Street Theater, now
dark.
There are three comedies and
two dramas in the group of plays.
The list:
Pack Up Your Troubles written
by PIT. Alfred D. Geto; Mail Call"
by Aviation Cadet Ralph Nelson;
Where Fer We Co." from Pfc. John
B. ODea: Button Your Lip" by
Pvt. Irving Gaynor Neiman, and
First Cousins" by Corpl. Kurt
Kasznar. Geto and Kasznar are
from New York City. Home towns
of the other authors are not avail
able.
While there is some talk that the
plays may be presented for at least
week in New York, Golden has
insisted the show is a one-nighter,
and farther than that it is up to
the Army. The idea of the sponsors
is that it could run longer and
make more money for the soldiers
and sailors fund.
This is the greatest production
in my IS years in the theater," says
John Golden with a wide smile.

AAO1DA VNNoD.
Let's say you are invited to civic
dinner party celebrating the success
full conclusion of War bond rally,
Red Cross drive or some other pa
triotic event where the guest of
honor Is to be a glamorous movie
star from Hollywood.
And right out of clear sky you
find yourself seated next to the
guest or honor. You do a quick
double-take and there at your very
elbow is, say, Ann Sheridan!
You wouldn't let it get you down.
OF course not. You'd make CONVEX
sation, some kind of conversation.
But what would you say?
Would you open up On that good
old standby, the weather locally as
compared to sometimes sunny Cali
fornia? Would it be frijoles. the
vitamin content of celery, needle
work, or sweaters for lady war
workers?
Or, In your possible confusion,
would you fall back on the movie
conversational faux pas supreme and
hubble: Il saw your latest picture.
Miss, er,- ah, Sheridan-let's see,
what was the name of it?"
Now, this is really no Joking
matter. Records of the Hollywood
Victory Committee show that 27O
motion picture stars made 2,773 per-
sonal appearances during the War
bond drive alone last year. Red
Cross drives. visits to Army camps
and hundreds of other morale aiding
events brought scores of other stars
and players to cities, towns and vii
lagos that never clapped eyes on a
Hollywood personality before. This
year that number of excursioning
goodwill exponents from the film
capital doubtless will be equaled and
more probably exceeded.
It's . Real Problem.
So, you can readily see that the
question of making conversation
with the movie stars isn't purely
academic. Hollywood discovered
America in 1912 and '43 and created
brand-new social problem-with
no Emily Post or Dale Carnegie to
guide either guests or hosts.
