BLUES IN The
NIGHT" COMING
TO 10Th CENTURY

Priscilla Lane, Betty Field and
Richard Whorf head the cast of the
goth Century's new feature, Blues
in the Night" which the manage
ment promises as a new and ex-
citing kind of musical. The picture,
making its debut tonight, was pro-
duced by the Warner Bros, studio
which has enlisted some of Holly
woods best acting, directional, writ
ing and musical talent in turning
out the film.
Robert Rossen's screen play,
adapted from a play by Edwin Gill
bert, is a tightly-knit dramatic tale
of a bunch of youngsters who form
their own band to play the kind of
blues which they believe to be the
true folk music of America. Rich
ard Whorf, talented stage star was
borrowed from the Lunt- Fontanne
producing unit to play the role of
the pianist who organizes the group.
Priscilla Lane, whose singing with
Fred WARNS band first brought her
to Hollywood, is cast as the singer
and little mother whose faith
and courage keeps the band to-
|gether through some mighty hard
times. and Betty Field, clever young
dramatic star of such films as "Of
Mice and Men" and Shepherd OF
the Hills" plays the selfish, heart
less nightclub hostess who nearly
leads Whorf to his ruin. Others in
highly talented cast include Lloyd
Nolan, Jack Carson, Wallace Ford
Howard da Sylvia. Ella Kazan and
Billy Halop.

That includes virtually all the
great names in literature.
There was. for instance, Shake
speare, who turned out a romance
called Romeo and Juliet" which
became a vehicle for Leslie Howard
and Norma Shearer, whose names
were associated with it almost to
the exclusion of Shakespeare's.
One Of the best of the modern
craftsmen in literature is Somerset
Vaughan, The movies have bought
virtually all OF Mr.. Maughams pro-
ducable works, and some that are
not, and has made a number of them
into pictures. The transactions have
been very profitable to Mr.. Maug-
ham, who is realist enough to find
satisfaction in that sufficient to
cover any chagrin he might feel that
his stories nearly always are known
as Bette Davis latest picture"
The most phenomenal overnight
success in almost contemporary writ
ing is Margaret Mitchell. author of
Gone with the Wind" 1t was an
even more spectacular success as a
motion picture. Miss Mitchell, of
course, was there on the billing, as
she properly should have been. But
Gone With the Wind" was never
known as the Mitchell. but ALWAYS
as the Clark Gable-Vivien Leigh.
picture.
Some near-misses have been
achieved by writer's in getting their
pictures designated by their own
names.
John Steinbeck, like Sarayon an
other California boy, has scored two.
His first was "Of Mice and Men"
which a number Of people associated
with Steinbeck only because the
largest names in the cast were those
Of Burgess Meredith and Betty Field,
neither of them any better known
than the author to the body polite.
The noveist's next film table, The
Grapes of Wrath" got itself ter
mendously talked about before goth
CenturyFoX purchased it. but when
it acquired cast headed by Henry
Fonda, it was more the latter's pic
ture in the public mind.
Ernest Hemingway who also puts
his mark heavily upon his writings
is coming back to the movies after a
long absence with For Whom the
Bell Tolls" Unfortunately for his
chance to get the picture known by
his own name. the central character
is being played by Gary Cooper. 1t
is almost an imposSibility to keep
a Cooper picture from being called
just that.
1t is almost as difficult, indeed,
as in the case of Mickey Rooney.
But Saroyan did the former where
Hemingway is almost certain to fail
in the case Of Cooper.
In way, maybe not very good
way, but certainly striking one,
that makes Saroyans the most force
full name in modern writing.
The moral of it probably is that
earnest young writer's had better try
to write like Saroyan instead of
Shakespeare, Vaughan, Steinbeck
and Hemingway.
Besides it is lot easier.
