If there were a prize for the most dauntless
figure in screen writing-known sardonically as
bellows letters-Delnar Dawes already would have
won that for 1943. Instead of winning prize for
sheer courage, however. Mr.. Dawes is doomed to
darkest oblivion, an irony implicit In his under
taking the task for which he merits special prize.
Mr.. Dawes, a large easy going man Of consider
able craftsmanship, is the fellow who wrote stage
Door Canteen." Whereas the average writer, and
often the exceptionally brilliant one, is obscured by
the brilliance of the names of his story's one or
two stars, Mr. Dawes suffers the total eclipse inherent
in 48. Nor is it just any 4s luminous beings Of the
stage, screen and the bandstand, but THE 4s top
ones. Self -immolation has never before achieved
such astronimic dimensions.
Great as it is however, 1t represents but
negligible fraction Of this particular authors cour
age. Single-handed he undertook to bring onto one
stage such brilliant talents as those Of Katharine
Cornell, Helen Hayes Judith Anderson, the Lunts,
Tallush Bankhead, fused-this one time in the
whole history Of the drama-with such varied
talents as those of Yehudi Menuhn, Oracle Fields
Count Basic, Guy Lombardo. Gypsy Rose Lee, Benny
Goodman and scores Of others To earn these people
their great regulations has overworked the talents
of such writer's of word and music as Shakespeare
Shaw, Sherwood, Coward, Anderson, Tschaikowsky,
Schubert, Porter, Berlin, etc.
The mere physical dimensions of the task of
dealing with many people, entirely ignoring the
infinite range and variety of their talents, should
have been enough to paralyze the writing mind.
Mr. Dawes, who is never even mentioned in the
promotion of the picture, not even nonplused.
AS competent craftsman he simply looked upon
the appalling cast characters who had to go
into story. With that in mind, he set to work and
wrote "Stage Door Canteen," kind of simple diary
of one of the most glamorous enterprises in the
brilliant history of entertainment.
The neat trick in the bag from which the
dramatist pulled his simple, loose-leaf script was
that of making his stars merely supporting players
for a bunch of unknown actors and actresses i'm
personating a handful of soldiers and canteen
hostesses The big name stars, all 48 of them, are
Just stage screen and music people participating

HOLLYWOOD.

Poor old bewildered Hollywood, al
ways facing a shortage of one sort
or another, is today faced with the
hideous prospect of launching new
cycle of musical films without
enough cuties to decorate the fore
and background!
Imagine, if you can, Hollywood
without girls! But it can happen
here. The worst has finally come
Producers searching the ranks OF
the casting bureau for pretty cho-
rines declare that the town is up
against its most serious shortage of
gal power.
Gayly readying some IS musicals
answering the general cry about toe
many war films. eacn requiring at
least 80 lovelies, producers suddenly
were brought to an abrupt halt
That many girls, they were in
formed, are no longer available
within the precincts of glamour
town. The legs that once twinkled
through iridescent film musicals are
twinkling more than ever, but the
demand is far exceeding the supply
A few far-sighted studio heads
commenced more than year ago
to increase their stock contract lists
bringing them up from practically
nothing at all to so and more girls
apiece Metro-Goldwyn-Maye cor
nered the lions share of available
chorines when it signed % to term
contracts within weeks time. This
coup brought the studios total num-
ber to 63.

NEW YORK


Our names usually have some
especial significance they're in
herited from father or mother, or
given in honor of a relative or noted
parsonage. But the Mia" of Mia
Slavenska, prima ballerina of the
Ballet Russo de Monte Carlo, liter
ally is meaningless.
In her native Yugoslavia, babies
usually are named for a saint at
the time of their baptism. But Mia
was weak and sickly baby and the
village priest was convinced that
she could not live. Mas mother in
sisted that the infant be christened,
however, and the priest consented
only because the name given her
had no special meaning.
But I fool them," Mia told me
proudly.
Mia Slavenska has been student
of ballet since she was 4. Her
studies took her all over Europe,
she worked under Nine. Bronislav
Nijinska, one of the famous teachers
OF the Russian School of Ballet,
who now is choreographer for the
Ballet Russo de Monte Carlo.
At Is, Mia gave an outstanding
performance at the National Opera
House in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, and
the program was entirely arranged
and choreographed by her. Two
more years and Mia was a ballerina
without the usual period Of
chorus work.
In September. 1899, she came to
the United States, leaving Europe
somewhat breathless from her per-
formances in ballets such as Cop
pelia," Swan Lake" Spectre De La
Rose" Gazette Parisienne." Nut
cracker" and Schubert's "Schuber-
tiana"
Il was very-how you say" she
gestured with her hands, "nervous?"
That Is because I did not speak
any English and could not even
order any food, so am hungry all
the time. But after a while-you
know get going"
No Movie inducements.
Then began an extensive tour of
this country and South America in
the many baliets that she had
danced in Europe. Mia also was
known as star in the prize winning
French film, "Ballerina." She loved
making this movie, and she had
several movie contracts offered her
in fact, still has-but she declines
them because she is afraid that she
will become SO involved in movies
that she won't be able to come back
to the stage. "And, after all, I love
the stage best-it is in my blood"
But beneath all the excitement Of
popularity and success, Mia has q
sadness in her heart. Her father,
who was well-known pharmacist
in Zagreb, has not been heard from
for az years. She and her mother,

A Movie Author Sets Standard in Courage
Delmar Dawes Unabashed by 48 Stars Of Infinite Variety

in serviceman's morale project Instead of trying
to write creatively for them, Mr.. Dawes Just lets
them wander in and out Of the story as they do
in the canteen. In other words, he treats them as
reporter on the same assignment would do, an
attitude that many dramatist would find difficult,
II not impossible, of attainment.
There may be those who will carp, for instance,
that Mr. Dawes did inadequately by the Lunts. As
members of the canteen staff, however, the Lunts
were recognized by the author as being very
limtedly dramatic. Lunt is shown wrestling with
some dirty dishes and inelegant garbage can,
Miss Fontanne handing out sandwiches to soldiers
and sailors. There Is a completely uninspired
exchange Of badinage between the two but it
undoubtedly is the way they talk when he Is q
garbage man, she waitress in the canteen
Just showing them as such and letting them talk
as such Mr. Dawes conception Of the most
dramatic thing an author could do under the
circumstances. Audiences probably will agree with
him where the movies severest critics will want
to pick quarrel with him.
Those on the alert for banality, not recogniz-
ing that the non-professonal lives of most actors
are, will have no trouble finding it in stage Door
Canteen"
It will be easy to leap upon the sequence which
introduces Helen Hayes for example. Miss Hayes,
as a senior hostess, has just few words with an
anonymous soldier, who asks her to dance. When
she accepts, but with some puzzlement that he
would prefer to dance with her instead of some
of the younger, prettier Junior hostesses, she
sounds not at all like Victoria the Queen, or Mary
of Scotland. The obvious reason for that is that
she is neither, but just senior hostess duty
at the Stage Door Canteen
Actually this easy entrance e-and-ext passage for
Miss Hayes is much more sensible employment
of her simple, human graciousness than the
awkward effort to bring Miss Bankhead more
pointedly into the script. The passage involving
Miss Bankhead and another anonymous service
man is covered with self-consciousness, which Miss
Bankhead herself at such moment never would be.
Mr.. Dawes, however, very rarely forgets himself
and tries to write around his appalling galaxy Of
celebrities 1t is the merit of his work that he
seems to leave them to their own devices and
dialogue.

who came here with Mia In 1899,
have tried frantically through vari-
GUS channels to get in touch with

Her mother is slight, energetic
woman who keeps house for Mia
and sews all of her costumes.
"She comes to all the shows and
is my worse critic. She never tells
me I am good. But it was through
her that I am able to dance now,
because when I was young she
saved every penny she could spare
so that I could study ballet. She
is wonderful woman"
Some day Mia wants to buy a
house in Beverley Hills, Calf. After
the war she hopes to be able to
visit her home once more, but II
have become SO American I can
not imagine living anywhere else" "
When Mia gets that home in Cali
fornia, she is going to have many
animals. All kinds. But especially
dogs. Right now Mia owns one
cat-Mickey-whom she adores.
Mia hopes also that she will be
able to catch up with other things
which interest her. most important
of which is reading. Now in her
spare time she does a great deal of
history reading and in between times
likes to go to some of the plays
around town.
But I have little spare time
When you are a ballet dancer you

She dresses beautifully and has
lots of clothes. In fact, I buy so
many clothes" Mia told me, that
