- In -nr,4--. Hollywood
BY ERsKINE JOHNSON NEA Service stan Correspondena

NEA Service stan Correspondent
 Behind the screen: More or less off the record these days, we keep hearing the darnedest talk. Pro- ducers might call 1t downright sub- versive. Big Stars, deciding 1t would be folly to make more than one ol two pictures apiece during 1943 on account of the salary ceiling, are talking of naming their own poison One glamor girl who is a star be- cause nothing ever looked prettier ir a bathing suit, goes so far as to an nounce pricately that therell be nc more fluffy duffy leg stuff for her No siree. This is war, she says. From now on, she wants to do pictures with significance"
 Two handsome male heartbeats are talking of becoming their own producers.
 This is an old, familiar situation in Hollywood but it has never be- fore been in such mass production as will be the case in 1943. The re- suits should ke interesting. For some reason, stars never seem to know what they've got that made them stars, nor how to capitalize on that quality, ncr do they have much of an idea what makes a good pie ture.
 RAFT WAS RIGHT
 We will hand 1t to George Raft, though. George has been suspended more often by his studio than any other star the business has ever had -and all because he absolutely re- fused to do certain pictures. once he refused so absolutely that h2 hauled off and knocked the produc- CT cold right on the set. The picture was "The Story of Temple Drake, " and George konked the producer be- cause the producer wanted him to say something callous while stand ing beside his mothers grave.
 And we recall a feminine star, whom we shall not name, who al- ways insisted on approving her scripts. The writers knew that no matter how good the script was, she would always "kill' part of it just on general principles. This created all kinds of confusion until a writer came along with cunning way of thwarting her editorial mayhem. He would write into the script some dummy scenes for her to kill" Oddly enough, she always picked the dunn mics to red rcncil, and this satisfied everyone.
 THEY GET TOO GOOD
 It is interesting, too, 10 consider th,, careers of those mummers who have been acclaimed as gen. fuses. Application of this word usually seems to wreck the career. We like to think the reason for this is that once an actor has been acclaimed as a genius, he starts believing 1t, and either gets so terrified that he loses all confi- dence In himself, or aims so high that his work is over everyone's head, including his own.
 Charley Chaplin was a genius because his work had the inno- cency of child. And in those days he made two pictures a month. Since the critics informed him that he was genius, he hasn't been able to make one pie ture every two years. And the innocency has given way to dem agoguery.

an era Of temperance in the
United States as far as whisky
is concerned. created. not by the
forces of reform, but by the
liquor people.
The rationing probably will be
in the form OF limitation Of sup
plies TO the retailers who in turn
will have to keep a finger on the
public thorax, pressing down on

tain number of seidels Of rye or

MEANTIME. you hear of buy
A'A ing and selling activities in
the whisky market between
dealers in various parts of the
nation that sound like trans
actions in Wall Street prior
TO 20.
There is ceiling on whisky,
OF course. but that does not
prevent trading, even though the
traders know they cannot hang
onto much of their profits.
Many of our citizens with
taste for liquor are loading their
cellars and closets up with
private stocks of whisky.
Some Of them have more
slowed away than they did in
the bootlegging days. and they
probably feel much more COM
Portable about It. too.
Hoarding liquor is not a crime
now.
Speaking Of bootlegging, I
suppose the usual amount of
genteel moonshine manufacture
ing goes on in some sections, but
there is no chance of the big
operations of the daffy POS. be-
cause the hooters could not get

the sugar and other necessary
ingredients in any quantities.
CUBA must be getting rich
~ again on the American pur-
chases of its rum and gin, the
latter a new venture for our
liquor dealers.
The duty is high, but since gin
is one of the scarcest commodi-
ties on the liquor market, the
dealers are buying all they can
get.
Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands, with plenty of rum on
hand. are practically out of the
market because of the difficult
ties OF transportation.
1t is not easy transporting the
rum and gin from Cuba, either.
Moreover. the Cubans keep
boosting the price with every
fresh order.
The extensive buying up OF
wineries and grape growing
acreage on the West Coast by
the big companies and the eye
ing Of breweries by the same
concerns undoubtedly reflects
the judgment of the more far
seeing of the liquor magnates
that the future of whisky is
somewhat dubious if the war
continues and that light wines
and beers must be given serious
consideration.
They have put millions into
high powered advertising cam
paigns on their wines and as a
result the consumption of wine
has increased beyond the high
est peak ever known in the
United States.

The Brighter Side

7 NOTE TIL a the officials of
Il the National Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Association con-
firm what / told you some weeks
ago. that liquor dealers are
going TO have TO ration the hard
stuff. else there will not be a
gill of whisky left in the country
If the war continues a couple Of
years.
/ am not presenting this as in
the nature of calamity, but as
a statement Of fact.
Indeed, there is already con-
siderable rationing on the part
of the big dealers seeking to cut
d own the enormous consump-
ton. which is part Of the gen.
eral buying spree.
l am sure no moral considera-
tons enter into the curtailment.
1t is matter of self preserva-
ton on the part of the dealers.
They do not want TO find
themselves suddenly out of bust
ness for lack of merchandise.
HOWEVER, even at the pres
H ent rate Of elbow bending.
the supply Of whisky soon would
be exhausted.
The dealers cannot produce
any more during the war.
Not being an essential COM
modify, the liquor cannot be ra-
toned by the Office of Price
Administration.
If the flow down the public
guZZle Is 10 be checked. IL must
be done al the main spout, which
is 10 say by those who own the
stocks left in the warehouses.
Hence. II the war has a long
run, l think you will see the

lcsl diagnosis until the x-ray
came along"
I REMEMBER the date 1917
Il very vividly because when
got 10 an army hospital in World
War !. there was no X-ray ma
chine capable Of taking a picture
OF the chest or Of the stomach.
The only one we had would
show fractures and dislocations
Of bones and that was about all.
In that day examinations OF
draftees 49, in order 10 eliminate
tuberculosis were done entirely
by percussion and the stetho-
scope.
The consequence was that
about so per cent of cases were
missed. and We have been pay
ing a terrible toll in pensions for
those omissions ever since.
TN>THE present emergency the
Il medical authorities OF the
army have insisted that every
draftee shall have an X-ray Of
the chest.
BY this means we feel that
We are eliminating about IS 10
80 per cent OF all applicants with
tuberculosis, who may break
down under conditions OF active
service.
The , bjections that were made
early b the war 10 a universal
X-ray Of the chest--that IL was
too expensive-have been over
