MIR. Laughton
Off the Set
Is Really Nice
He Can't Afford
To Be Bigh.ish
In Wite's Presence
HOLLYWOOD,

41obh "ooO.
You can't take the laugh out
Of Laughton, that roly-poly charac-
ter actor who delights in heavy
parts, such as Capt. Bligh, King
Henry VIII and other hateful roles.
Unlike some actors who profess to
live their roles night and day,
Laughton limits his acting to his
working hours. Not necessarily be-
cause he doesn't believe in acting
at home, but because his wife, Elsa
Manchester, won't let him. And best
of all, he likes to laugh.
The part play in the movies has
no bearing on the way I behave at
home" says the square -jowled Eng
lish-born actor. "Of course, my wife
might not agree with that-you
know how women are But if I
come home a bit tired and start
growing. she's just as likely as not
to jibe: Take that Capt. Bligh ex-
preston of your puSs, Charles, and
pass me the butter!'
Women have the darndest way
of taking advantage of anything a
fellow might have done on the
screen-or in the factory, Office, or
any place In fact, women have the
darndest way, period!
I'VE hear so much talk now about
servant trouble. That hands us a
laugh! We've been having nothing
but trouble ever since 'Mutiny on the
Bounty Every new servant we get
comes into the house trembling with
fear and expecting the worst
OF all his screen characterizations
Laughton says his current one in
THE Man From Down Under" in
which he plays an Australian, is per-
haps his easiest, except for acquir-
ing proper slang, colloquialisms and
accent.
He once got rid of his English &C
cent by sitting up nights replaying
recorded address by President
Wilson to the farmers. Now he's
considering a similar method to
learn to talk like an Australian.

A Novel Means
Of Deciding
Popularity
Count de La Falaise
Now Recognized
As Gloria's Ea.Sbouse
BY the Associated Pres,


HOLLYWOOD.
When the Marquis de La Falaise
de La Coudray returned here re-
Gently, he was referred to as the
former husband of Gloria Swan
SON. Almost every one neglected to
mention Constance Bennett as be-
ing a former wife of the French
nobleman, known to his friends as
Hank"
This should settle the relative
standing of the two stars in public
rating. Gloria came home with her
titled husband from Paris during the
era when she and Pola Negri were
rivals at the same studio. Pola had
title, Countess Dombska, when she
first came to this country, and many
felt Gloria would never rest until
she outranked her.
Eventually when Swanson's film
star was fading, and Bennett was
hitting an all-time high in film
earnings, Gloria divorced the mar
quis, who then married Miss Ben
nett. Swanson then married Mi
chael Farmer, and Bennett in turn
divorced Hank" and married her
present husband, Gilbert Roland.
Both Swanson and Bennett
reached their peak of popularity
during the period of their respective
marriages to the marquis.

PuPpeteering

Juggling Strings
Bairds of Broadway
Treat Figures
As Personalities
By Jean Meeean.
NEW YORK


Bill and Cora Baird, two members
of the cast of the new Ziegfeld
Follies, live in studio apartment
on the Hudson River with 400 other
actors-all wooden.
Their gangling, grimacing crea-
tions and boarders hang on clothes
lines like the Monday wash or loll
in bureau drawers when they aren't
working" and the Bairds fuss and
care for them as no stars ever are
fused over.
The Bairds are Broadway's only
puppet masters. They speak eagerly
of their troupers but. having in mind
the printed word, Bill emphasized:
Whatever you say please don't give
the impression that Cora and I
think of the marionettes as our
children-or dolls.
Puppets are ideas. They are
just another way of saying some
thing. Each one is a phase of
person-it is all dancer, all master
of ceremonies, all singer"
Imparting these human essences
TO wood is a full-Clme JOB. Four
years ago, for instance, when Bill
was coming out of the anesthetic
after an operation he saw" a new
figure and went to work on its COM
position.
He dug into a chest of drawers
and trotted out the finished prod
uct-a creepy black specimen, an
unearthly caricature but the last
gasp in modern marionette action,
balance, proportion.
Four adults collaborated on trans
ferring this drugged dream into a
bread winning actor: Bill sketched
the vision onto tissue paper and
cast the head in clay; the Bairds'
full-time carpenter committed it to
wood; their dressmaker dressed it

And Now a Crushing Blow
Having Rarely Before Pondered on 1t,
HOLLYWOOD Faces a Girl Shortage

With a dozen musicals on the fire,
MGM believes the average wage Of
s75 per week paid these girls is a
sound investment. At Goth Century,
Fox they're hardly less we'll fixed

Bill Grady. head talent scout for
MGM and one of the few movie
ivory hunters who still manages
to take an occasional trip in search
of new faces, says war jobs appear
to have swallowed up most of the
girl prospects around the country.
They seem to have joined the
scarce list like girdles, silk stock
ings, filet mignons, alarm clocks and
cuffs on trousers" said Grady. upon
his return from recent jaunt.

tably Paramount with only half
dozen under contract) are loud
and long. Samuel Goldwyn, itching
to get his song-studded, star
spangled "Up In Arms" before the
cameras, feels the pinch most acute
ly. Goldwyn girls, you know, must
be Goldwyn girls-hand picked and
the cream of the pack. In selecting
chorus beauties, Goldwyn has always
felt that he is to the films what Flo
ziegfeld was to the stage. But he is
definitely downhearted today.
Several big lots are squeaking by
as best they can. To make up for
it's lack of professional dancers,
Paramount is spotting novelty acts
throughout current musicals. One
of it's best bets is 17-year-old Olga
Sam Juan, Puerto Rican vocalist
and dancer, who is slated for i'm
portant speciality spots.
Look to High Schools.
Aware that chorus girls were to
be at premium, Columbia decided
to invade a fresher field. With the
cooperation of Is national maga-
zines and the help of their readers,

ing the war effort" said Producer
Freed. Transportation troubles may
also have a lot to do with it. ANY,
way, not one-tenth as many girls
are coming to Hollywood as in the
pre-war days."
High school musical productions
will more than likely receive closer
scrutiny than ever from hitch-hik-
ing talent scouts. Practically every
school presentation within radius
of rs miles of Los Angeles had one
or more scouts in the audience this
spring. At least dozen youngsters
who clutched graduation diplomas
this month headed straight into
movie studios.
Hollywood is familiar with almost
every type of shortage but this one
has the town blinking. The luscious
lassie market is practically shot!

Personal Charm
Above Authenticity
By the Associated Pres.
HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD.
Just how many curls, how long,
and how much facial foliage can an
actor wear and still retain his ap-
peal to feminine fans?
Joel McCrea, about to undertake
his role as Buffalo Bill" the IA
nous frontiersman and circus star,
faces this problem. Buffalo Bill wore
long curls and flowing boards. They
were one of his distinguishing
charms for audiences of that day.
Judging by past decisions on such
problems, McCrea will wear Just as
much hair on his face and head as
is most becoming, and not a whisker
more. Authenticity has never yet
been successful rival to sex appeal
in the Celluloid City.

By Kate Holiday.
HOLLYWOOD.

Hollywood eyes Dudley Nichols
with the expectation that he will be
needing calming hand in the very
near future. The reason is that this
writer -producer-a embryonic = di-
rector has a theory about making
motion pictures which never will
be found in any cinema rulebook.
Nichols never knows whether a
production is going to make money
He writes script because he wants
to and he writes it in the way he
wants to. He is interested in its
honesty, not its box-office draw.
There's moral beating about all
this somewhere. For Dudley Nichols
has been on the writing end of a
flock of successful movies. In the
last year, for instance, he wrote
Air Force" and For Whom the
Bell Tolls" and produced and wrote
This Land Is Mine" In previous
years, he turned out items like THE
Long Voyage Home" The Inform
er,' Mary of Scotland" Stage
coach" and Hurricane.
With the exception of THE Long
Voyage Home" all of these have
corralled the customers in throngs.
All of them also won critical ac-
claim. The Informer" even got an
Academy Award. Hollywood doesn't
understand it.
Nichols is straight thinking in
telligent. six feet tall, with a shock
of grey hair and brown eyes. He is
the tweedy sort, mentally and physi-
cally. He is apt to take off his coat
in the middle of conversation, light
seven cigarettes in IS minutes, and
conduct an interview with his feet
on the desk.
News COverage Palled
This stems from his newspaper
days. For Nichols, as the adults in
the crowd will remember, was top
flight reporter in pre-1929 New York
He was what other newspapermen
call "a high-brow reporter" since
he covered ambassadors landings,
finance, politics and an occasional
murder trial.
But after seven or eight years the
daily round of ENJOYS, politicians,
even rowing assignments to Europe
began to pail. A trip to his home
town of Wapakoneta, Ohio, didn't
help. Nichols suddenly announced
to his young wife that they were
going to Spain. He would have done
1t, too, had not moviemaker Winnie
Sheean suggested that Hollywood
salaries are what cause the Califor-
mia sun to shine SO brightly.
Thus, Nichols found himself in a
studio with a bunch of individuals
who talked about babies" truck
shots" and particularly crosses. u
This was Greek, for the only two
pictures Dudley could remember
seeing were The Iron Horse" and
"Potemkin," a Russian silent. He
didn't even know what a shooting
script looked like.
Advice From John Ford.
The difficulty was solved by the
appearance of John Ford, who, if he
wasn't born with a megaphone in
his hand, had one bought for him
to teethe on. Ford told Dudley not
to attempt screen play. Just
write play-in 40 or SO scenes" he
said. The result was made into a
shooting script on the set (things
were much simpler in those days.
and came out under the title of
Men Without Women" 1t was
about a submarine.
Nichols himself is pleased with his
subsequent success, but not exactly
baffled by it.
Il realize now that I brought
freshness to Hollywood" he told me-
