days Ginger would rush over to re-
porters and tell them her doings al
most without being asked. Then she
became famous in her own right.
The first thing she did was to hire
Fred's press agent Then it be-

on the set without advance notice
to the P. A And giving that notice
did not mean Miss Rogers would

self unpopular with the press be-
cause of these tactics. But in her
last couple of pictures she has en-
deavored to switch back to her for
mer friendliness. She still is
strained when talking, however. 1t
is hard to get good copy when
the subject is i'll at ease.
Quite a few stars have been like
Ginger-easy to talk to when fight
ing for fame. difficult when they
have achieved it. 1t takes a real
person to remain the same regard

some who have-Judy Garland, Bob

(Which is as often as I can wargle

try and fill column on that!
Nice, and Newsworthy.
Jimmy Cagney on the other hand,
is almost as nice as Gary, but al
ways has something interesting to
impart of newsworthy value Jimmy
is one of the best story tellers in
Hollywood He has a great sense of
humor, can rip through the preten-
sions of fellow thespians with sem
tence. He is always vitally interest
ed in his work, either liking it or
loathing it. He has the same ex-
tremes for people. Cagney is also
happily married. And this fact is
mentioned to refute the prevailing
prejudice of what is there to write
about a movie star when he is (a)
married. and CD happily married?"
There is always something to write
after a conversation with Cagney ,
Claudette Colbert, until she made
"Tovarich" at Warmers used to be
good copy for reporters. She man
aged to antagonize some of the boys
in the press department at that
studio. I don't know which was
cause and which was effect, but a
couple Of stories appeared in print
that Claudette did not like And
then she became difficult for report
ers in search of news. In the past
year I have found her shy when ap-
preached with a pencil and note
book, and wishing to get back to the
former talkative days. I asked her
press agent, What is a good way
to get her talking?"
Talk to her about present-day
problems, about politics, about the
war" he suggested.
I waited for Claudette to finish
a scene she was doing in so
Proudly We Hail." and on her way
to the dressing room, planted my
self In front of her and asked
something like, How are the Free
French doing?" Fine" said
Claudette-and walked away in a
tremendous hurry.

grandfather, has a fair for writing.
He wishes she would do something
about it.
Wood is not a man to make
changes hastily. Of all the years he
has been in the motion picture busi-
ness, Is of them have been divided
between two studios - Paramount
and Metro -GoldWyn-Ma
For the last five years he has free
lanced with the fancy agreement
that he will make one picture a year
for Paramount and one for Warner
Bros. if he approves the story and
cast. Any independent venture is
released through Columbia.
Assuming a Double Burden.
IT was just offered S15O,0OO for
eight weeks work-that's ridiculous
nobody is worth that much" he
remarked in connection with his
business arrangements. AS a mat
ter of fact he stands to make a quar-
ter million dollars on For Whom the
Bell Tolls"
He is attracted to the legitimate
theater for the reason, he says, that
there you can see your mistakes i'm
mediately. If his wish is fulfilled
he will do a Broadway show a year,
as well as meet his picture commit
ments.
II think it's important to stay at
the head of the parade. If it gets
ahead of you, you can't catch up
Time in our business is our stock in
trade"
Appropriately enough, Wood is the
son Of an Irish-Scotch father, who
earned his living in the worsted yarn
business, and Pennsylvania Dutch
mother.
He played with Ed Wynn when
both were little boys in Philadel-
phia. His best friends today are
Jack Conway, Metro director; David
Hampstead. producer; Dudley Mich
OILS, scenario wrNer. He still speaks
fondly of Irving Thalberg and says,
He was the great genius of motion
pictures"
Because movie houses are filled
these days, any old thing passes for
entertainment. Wood says. "All pic
lures are making money now, and
for that reason they aren't as good
as they could be.
When you are scraping to get
money into the box Office, you make
better pictures. l think that this is
the time to make good will for the
future"

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Hollywood Is used to youngsters
whose talents are forced into quick
bloom on the screen and then be-
come painfully precocious and hard
to handle.
On the screen these young folks
grin infectiously and warm the
hearts of screen audiences. But
away from the camera something
happens. A sudden onrush of pub
lie notice, the sense of self -impor-
tance that comes with the swollen
pay checks, personal appearances
and autograph seekers, all have
their effect
Then comes a talented and sue
cessful youngster who shows signs
of resisting this tendency, who takes
his success and jokes about it, a kid
like 17-year-old Donald O'Connor.
O'Connor has won prominence
rapidly through a series of cheap
films dealing with teen-age Utter
bugs, jive tunes, gags and subdeb
girls. Impressed by box office reac-
tions. producers recalled Mr.. Big"
the last of these cheap films, and
added $4,000 in production to it.
Now Man of the Family" is be-
ing readied, starring Donald, Rich
ard Dix and Lillian GiSh as his
parents. Next to be done is AN
gela,' from Sinclair Lewis Angela
was o." starring O'Connor with
Susanna Foster, Louise Albritton
and Pat Knowles. These stories
and castings suggest the Importance
now attaching to this tall, slender,
blond boy with the nimble sense of
humor and the dance-WiSe feet.
Mother Ruled Firmly.
O'ConnOr is Irish in ancestry, al
though his mother, Mrs. Effie Irene
Crane O'Connor is half French.
Donald himself has been acting
since baby days. His mother was a
Floradora girl and a bloomer girl,
his father was a circus strong man,
boxer and champion leaping artist
for the Ringing Circus for many
years. O'Connor was taken as the

answer, and that means most of
them, Rita smiles sweetly and emits
giggle. I never thought of it until
now maybe Rita is smart
Maria Montez is definitely good
copy. Every minute spent with
Maria Is worth a paragraph for any
reporter. Maria should be column
ist. Then she could stay at home
all day interviewing herself (and
guarantee that her column would be
interesting every day-which is more
than can be said for some of us in
the trade. When Maria sees a re-
porter within hailing distance, she
shrieks. Hello, darling" and while
she runs over she is fashioning news
items in her pretty Cnow redD head.
She will answer amusingly any ques-
ton no matter how embarrassing.
And as long as you don't make her
look too foolish in the column, is
grateful for whatever is printed
Miss Montez is definitely the re-
porter's dream girl.
Lovely GarrulOuSneSS.
So is Paulette Goddard, with
whom this writer has had a tiff now
and then during our time together
in Hollywood. But that does not
detract from 'Paulette's worth as
good" copy. Paulette is always
doing something, or buying some
thing, and she likes to tell you about
it. She has keen sense Of the
dramatic and the ridiculous. And
up to a certain point she is eX-
tremely frank. All of which insures
a full notebook for the reporter.
George Murphy, without question,
is one of the incest men in Holly
wood. But he is among the worst
copy. At the best of times it Is
hard to find something new and
interesting to write about men like
George and Fred MacMurray who
are gentle souls, both happily mar
ried and who follow more or less
the same routine year in and out.
Edward G. Robinson used to be
good copy until he brought his po-
litical life into 100 per cent con-
versational prominence. Like golf
COR babies) the person who talks
about politics to the exclusion of
nearly everything else becomes a
bore.
When I first met Gary Cooper, he
was extremely difficult to talk to.
He replied to most questions with
a monosyllable. 1t became a chal-
lenge to this reporter to get Gary
to talk, not to mention the pleas
ure of being with Mr. Cooper. Gary
did talk and furnished several in
teresting columns for this reporter.
But now, like friends for whom
there is no necessity for speech,

Der. Donald had whirl at film
work when he was under contract
to Paramount several years ago and
played in a couple of Bing Crosby
pictures. But the family needed
Donald for the act, so he went back
to vaudeville.
Donald will be 18 in September.
He has not yet finished high school,
because of the irregularities of his
w-business life, but he's CATCH
ing up now. His only low grade at
the studio school in the past term
was. strangely enough, public
speaking.
Household Settles Down.
The draft may pass him by for
another year to allow him to gradu-
ate. But when he goes he's aiming
for the air force. He Is a demon
mechanic, has put together
hopped-up car out of two wrecks he
bought for $38.
His new stardom has enabled him
to buy a home, their first, for his
mother and family. It's unpreten-
tious, but Donald Is thrilled over
having his own room, furnished in
South Sea style, in bamboo. It's
over the family garage.
anonymously, 1t has a white fur
rug, something Donald says he has
always wanted. He Is looking for
ward to getting dog, another long
dreamed-of possession, which he
never could have while the family
toured.
1t would be wrong to say that
Donald is a model child. He isn't;
he could be more aptly described as
normal. When Elyse Knox, beau
tiful young starlet, passed our
luncheon table in the commissary,
all done up in beautiful form
fitting gown and makeup, Donald
gave low whistle of masculine
appreciation. It's true that he goes
to church every Sunday with his
mother and family. but it's even
money that he looks around.

hope for a career because of his
glass eye and is going back to work
in his own fine, ships.
The producers of "The Sulli-
vans" have instituted series of
tests of invalided servicemen for the
roles of the five heroic brothers lost
with their ship. They hope to get
the right types by combing the serv-
ice hospitals; 26 such men have al
ready been interviewed.
Most promising of the new finds"
among invalided servicemen, is
Jerry Shane, 19-year-old ex-marine
who saw service at Guadalcanal.
Out at Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer to
visit friends whom he had known
when he was messenger for the
studio, he met Director Wesley
Ruggles, then casting for See Here,
Private Hargrove." His tests were
good, and he was assigned the role

Robert Walker.

Eight years have elapsed-far too
long-since Elisabeth Bergner last
appeared on a Broadway stage.

dull play which, nevertheless, gives
her an opportunity to display many
of her qualities as one OF our best
actresses.

she and an excellent supporting

The play concerns successful
but homicidal artist who has

Except for wearing a white silk
shirt, Wood, who at so is among the
most important motion picture di-
rectors, behaves as though he might
still be inhaling the atmosphere Of
the main line.
Pioneer in a town that dotes on
sudden success, spectacles and
multiple marriages, Wood rose
steadily from two reelers to color
productions, has been unsensational

husband of the first and only girl he

Wood derived quiet enjoyment

The Directors

Il Tanner Lot
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
For city flguratively built on
illusions this fantastic and fabulous
land of make-believe certainly
wouldn't mind dispelling a few.
Outside the industry, some i'm
pressions of the Weakness that pre-
walls about the motion picture in
dustry are true, but there are plenty
that aren't.
For instance, most people think
that when film directors get ready
to photograph scenes, they scream: :
Lights! Camera! Action!" But
rs matter of fact, that is an all
but-forgotten language around
studios.
Today most of them say Turn
'em cn!" or Roll 'em!" while others
order "Go!" or "Start!" Gregory
Ratoff merely says I'm in da
mood"
Also, directors sometimes still are
pictured in leather puttees, riding
breeches, cap turned backward or
clutching megaphone. But that
version just doesn't exist any more.
After 30 years in the business, Cecil
De Mile is the only one left who
wears puttees.
Most directors today wear busi-
ness clothes like any other Office
executive and instead of mega
phones, they call out instructions
over loud-speaker system.
Also, head cameramen never
touch cameras when a scene is being
photographed their job is to
direct electricians in lighting effects
:. then they retire to the back
ground while assistants operate the
machines.
Makeup preparations likewise
may seem synonymous with movie
photography. Some who think actors
and actresses wear grease paint an
inch thick-but many players
never even touch the stuff.
