right before your very eyes, and
ears. Song hits, surprisingly, are
produced the same way.
Another thing is that patrons in
film cafes are the most considerate
people in the world. Their CONVEX
sation never browns out that of the
principals, which Cy thought was
doggone nice of them. And you
never saw a screen checkroom girl
who wasn't pretty enough to be
just waiting for talent scout to
discover her, and put her in the
follies.
Meals in the movies are the most
wasted things Cy ever saw. Folks, it
seems, just walk into a restaurant,
take bite and a sip and walk out
with just the right change for
the cashier, and leaving their meal
practically untouched. And in real
life, did you ever see a fly-casting
fisherman hook another? In pic
lures, it never fails!
And If Uncle Sam would give each
one of his soldiers one of those re-
volvers celluloid cowboys use, they
probably would end the war in
jig time. Think a minute, Cy! Did
you ever see a movie gunf1ght in

Less of Everything
Except War Films
Now on Schedule
HOLLYWOOD

No letup in Hollywood on the war
themed movie. One look at this
weeks production schedules and you
sense that. Production has slumped
of badly compared to this same
week one year ago-33 features to-
day as against 48 in 1942-but al
most half the stories are either
background by war or touch upon
the strife in a sizable way.
"Casablanca" is really responsible
for the renewed plunge into the war
arena by film producers. That
Warner film proved one Of the luck
lest stabs in the history of show
business. Not only was it a swell
picture on its own merits, but it
struck box offices almost day and
date with the history-shattering
meeting of F. D. r. and Churchill
in that North African port. It will
undoubtedly be the top money
making movie of 1943. So, every
producer in town, playing true to
bell-wether tactics, is shooting at it.

The massive set, representing the
office of his eXcellency (as the devil

ornate desk, an inkWell which could
house small dog in comfort, a sec
retary and complicated system of,

But the payoff was the wall
scheme. From floor to ceiling, the
walls were lined with shelves holding
huge volumes containing the names,
case histories and qualifications of
those who some day would be can
didates for place in the hall of

Hiding behind the desk in this
grandeur was his excellency-club-
footed, suave, polished, sartorially
resplendent in morning (not mourn

Enacting the role of the man from
hades is Laird Cregar, who lends
magnanimity to the part with his
272 pounds.
Nosing about the set, we inter-
viewed his excellency until Ernst
Lubitsch began directing the devil
and his playmates in the scene.
His eXcellency then became more
interested in the entrance of Don
Ameche, slowly trudging down long
flight of steps to the inner sanctum

Cy Gerkin went back to his turnip

The reason, film directors told
him, is that they photograph scenes

them to look, not the way they

A few weeks ago it would been quite
harmless to show Betty Cradle wear

new-rich showgirl in Sweet Rosie
O'Grady." But while the film was
still in production the studio ruled
it out. 1t was not considered good
taste-even though the story has a
50-year-old backdrop! No chances
can be taken today. AS a COM
promise, the studio shortened Betty's
skirts, thus substituting two non

Cradle legs.
