HOLLYWOOD
BY ERSKINE JOHNSON

A 12-month controversy be-
tween Producer Howard Hughes
and the censors over whether THE
outlaw" ever would be released
ended in San Francisco the other
day at a gala world premiere of
the picture. Now the controversy
will be over whether Hughes, ton
que in cheek, has burlesqued all
the western films he's ever seen
or poured two and a half million
dollars into one of the most gosh
awful pictures ever filmed.
Viewed as a burlesque of west
ern bad men, it's great fun. A
laugh a minute. Taken as straight
drama, which Hughes insists it is,
The outlaw" is unbelievably bad.
BL's whatever you call it, the pic
ture is a boxoffice gold mine and
I'd like to have a percentage of the
profits.
The pre-release ballyhoo, the
fabulous publicity campaign around
Jane RuSsell's sweaters and now
the arguments to come over Wheth-
er Hughes is only kidding, have
and will make it the talked
about picture since the first talkie.
AS a star discoverer Jean Har-
low in "Hell's Angels and Paul
MUM in "ScarfaceD, Hughes again
can take bows for black-haired,
buxom Jane Russell and youthful
Jack Beutel.
