What's the PERCENTAGE
For a Musical?
HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD.
How much music belongs in a
musical?
Twentieth Century-Fox, using the
costly Stormy Weather" as a lab
oratory, believes it has settled the
question once and for all.
The picture, cavalcade Of musi-
cal entertainment starring Lene
Horne, Bill Robinson, Cab Galloway,
Fats Waller, The Shadrack Boys,
The Nicholas Brothers, the Kath-
arine Dunham Dancers, and scores
of other entertainment greats" has
running time of 81 minutes-of
which three-fourths Is song and
dance
This IS per cent is devoted to
Robinson in dance numbers, Lena
Horne in dance and song, Gallo
ways, Walters and the Tramp
Bands music numbers, and assorted
speciality acts set to music.
No musical ever made in Holly
wood has devoted so much time to
sheer music. This, according to
producer william LIE Baron and Di-
rector Andrew Stone Is due to the
happy circumstance that Stormy
Weather's" plot is based on the life
story of Bill Robinson-the picture
is an entertainer life told in
memorable songs and dances by
which he advances his career.
Because of this circumstance,
Stormy Weather" boasts total Of
"a songs and musical numbers-far
and away the largest number Of big
songs and dances ever recorded for
one picture.

It Is Not Unlikely

HOLLYWOOD.
Irving Berlin's work in his This
Is the Army bids fair to make him
new record holder in the line
OF music. The picture which War
ner Bros. is making for Army
Emergency Relief is loaded with
more Berlin numbers than any 9TH
er musical picture to come out Of
Hollywood since talking pictures first
began.
Besides such hit numbers as IT
Left My Heart at the Stage Door
Canteen," This Is the Army, Mr..
Jones" I'm Getting Tired So Can
Sleep" What the Well Dressed
Man in Harlem Will Wear" This
Time" How About Cheer for the
Navy" "The Army's Made a Man
Out of Me-" American Eagles" and
That Russian Winter" nine hit
songs which have been heard from
coast to coast, movie-goers will be
treated to group of earlier Berlin
tunes from "Yip, Zip Yaphank, the
1918 First World War soldier show.
There will, of course, be Berlin
himself, singing "Oh, How I Hate
to Get Up in the Morning." George
Tobias will enter the realm OF mu-
sical comedy by essaying Poor Little
Me, I'm on K. P" A quartet will
do In the YMCA" And the boys
will re-enact the finale of "Yip,
Zip Yaphank." Were on Our Way
to France"
And finally, Berlin has written
two new numbers for the picture,
Your Country and My Country"
and What Does He Look Like?"
which Gertrude Neissen and Frances
Langford will sing, in that order.
Add to this roster God Bless
America" which Kate Smith will
do for the picture. and the total is
16. There may have been other
musicals with more songs, but those
from This Is the Army" all come
from one composer, which is some
sort Of a record.

In Walter Brennan's humble and
usually well-respected opinion, only
about 10 per cent of the actors and
actresses in Hollywood today are
real thespians.
The other 90 per cent, he believes,
should quit and 60 home. He thinks
they're square pegs In round holes
as far as picture making is con-
cerned.
And that isn't any snap Judgment,
either. He doesn't profess to be an
expert, but he's been in tilm work
enough years to make q lot of OBJ
servations and form some pretty
sound conclusions. And those three
Academy Awards he's won weren't
flukes.

Massachusetts-born character actor,
go per cent Of the people In the
movies ought to quit and go home.
Many never were actors to begin
with. Their personalities are shall
low. They possess an insipid arti-
f1ciality. And the youngsters, par
ticularly, soon get that overbearing
conceit and greatly exaggerated ego
that comes largely from the con-
slant praise their studios heap upon
them.
Its part Of the Hollywood merry
go-round to keep telling 'em they're
the greatest actors and actresses in
the world, and 1t doesn't take long
before they get believing they are
really good. That's the sad part
about it, because before long many
discover they can't make the grade.
Others 60 on for a few years, but
they, too, fall by the wayside.
THE pitiful thing about it is that
they hang around, still telling their
friends they're the best actors in
the world. But, somehow, they
never get q call from the casting
Office"
But philosophical Irishman Bren-
nan doesn't worry. He Is rounding
out nine years under contract to
Sam Goldwyn, longest seniority of
any actor at that studio, after a
thorough acting foundation in silent
films. He also has hundreds of
acres Of ranchland up in Oregon, so
when the movies get tired of him,
or vice versa. he can always go back
to handling a plow. And he's the
little guy who can do it, too! 80.
