SOUNDS GOOD

All this sounds good. Indeed, IL
may be good, and obviously can
contribute materially TO future
happiness and prosperity. But
these good potentialities should
not blind us TO the bad ones. The
limitation and even possible dan
gers attending the new move,
should be duly noted In order that
they may be avoided.
Probably the most immediate
and obvious unfavorable POSSIBLE
ity is that the provision for in.
creased civilian production at this
time may hurt the war effort
Even If this result would not
necessarily follow, such might be
the indirect effects.
The invasion of Europe and the
offensive in the Pacific are nearing
their peaks. They call for a maxi
mum of mobile effort, and that
means sudden changes in produc.
ton. New conditions and problems
arise

order permitting the limited re-

This suggests not only that VIC

The idea is TO take up the

For example, in Dragon Seed" he
shows Katharine Hepburn exactly
how he wants q romantic scene
played with Turhan Bey by taking
the actress's place and going
through the entire action-and al
ways deadly serious, in spite Of the
secret hilarity that goes on among
the players behind his back.
Even when the camera is grind

restrains himself somewhat by sit
ting in his chair, but he smiles when
Walter Huston smiles; grimaces
when Akin Tamiro1 does. A casual
visitor to the set watching a death
scene would swear Conway also Is

as the weeks go by, signs Of strain

workers can take one glance at the

HOLLYWOOD.

~
The first motion picture ever made
in Hollywood, "Her Indian Hero"
vintage Of 1909, is constantly being
trotted out by the Los Angeles
Chamber Of Commerce to demon
strate to visiting firemen the prog
ress made by Aims in the interval.
Jack Conway wishes they wouldn't
do that. 1t dates him and he's q
little bit sensitive. Conway was the
star Of that picture. This month he
is celebrating his thirty fifth year
in motion pictures. No longer is he
an actor, but one Of the greatest
directors in the business.
Her Indian Hero" boosted Con-
way into the limelight where, for
five years, he was the movie-goers'
No. ! hero. He earned the then
unheard-of salary OF SIS week.
The extra money was given him.
he admits today, because he could
ride horse and run and jump well.
and because he was the homely,
rugged type.
''In 1914" Conway recalls, "big,
handsome heroes entered the film
business and drove fellows like us
from our top perch. The Viking
type Of star, his hair slicked back
with bear grease, crowded us into
other parts of the movie business.
turned to directing"
Since then Conway has enjoyed
an uninterrupted career, directing
152 pictures. He was at the helm of
Saratoga" in 1887 when Jean Har-
low was stricken in the midst Of
production. He finished the Aim
under the greatest of difficulties.
Many Of Clark Cables most success
full productions, including Boom
Town" and "Honky Tonk," bear the
Conway directing stamp.
Today Conway is directing Dragon
Seed one of his biggest and most
dramatic, with Katharine Hepburn
and Walter Huston in the top roles.
Looking back Director Conway still
prides himself on having never worn
a tuxedo in a picture.
Old-time favorites always get a
chance when Conway is making a
movie. He has a soft spot in his
heart for the boys and girls who
were once up there and are now
struggling to make ends meet via
bit parts.
OF the 152 pictures Conway has
directed, he has played roles in
every one-unof1icially. He acts out
