This was Churchill's position:

HOLLYWOOD.


One of the strangest cases in
movie history continues to be that
of Jane Russell. 1t might well be
dramatized as that of The Great
Unseen Star" Her single picture,
THE outlaw" produced in fabulous
style by Howard Hughes, still re-
mains on the shelf, gathering dust
because Hughes refuses to make
changes demanded by the Hays
Office. To date, San Francisco is
the only city to have had a glimpse
of Miss Russell and ''The Outlaw"
Many months ago Hughes took a
lease on Detroit theater and
vowed he would put over his pic
ture there for run. The theater
he leased is also gathering dust.
Meantime. Miss Russell is play
ing a real-life role as wife Of Bob
Waterfleld, former U. c. L. A., foot
ball star, now in the service. She
doesn't seem to care whether her
screen career ever gets started or
not. Jane has posed for more still"
photographs than many active stars
who have appeared in many pic
lures. Lots of them have been pub
lished throughout the country.
Hollywood turns up many an odd
ity from week to week, but the case
of The Great Unseen Star" is the
towns greatest mystery.

How did men happen to start
wearing creases in their trousers?
You don't know? Well, MGM is
going to wise up the world on this
fashion note in Greer Garson's cur
rent movie, Mrs. Parkington." Re-
searchers at the Culver City studio
discover that the crease didn't come
in until after the Spanish American
War. Before that, it would seem,
men were lot Of baggy individuals.
Origin Of the crease will be dram
atized in q scene where Edward VII,
as the Prince of Wales (played by
Cecil Galloway goes to the derby
and gets his pants splattered in the
mud. He enters a store, demands a
pair of trousers of the shelf and
dons them. They were on the shelf
SO long they got creased. He wore
'em that way Tin 1899 it was) and,
bingo, the fad got under way. In

months. Tobacco Road" of all
things, has sneaked a week of the

The week will be the one that

The author of the memo neglected
to say who is playing Jeeter Lester

presumption is that it is John
Barton.
That is always the presumption.
1t has not failed to be the correct
one for seven years that we can

That familiar face on the May

WiliCll he ueeQ I1OG 90 since he
already has several comforting mill
lions and the plays earnings will
go largely to the United States
Treasury. His first intention in that
direction is to get busy with the
formation of two road companies.
one for Chicago, the other for the
West Coast.
The idea of two road companies
will come as startling news to those
who, having seen the John Van Dru-
ten comedy, were under the impress
sion that Margaret SULLIVAN and
Elliot Nugent we're the only ones
who could do it so well. Their per-
fection in the roles might very log
ically create such a feeling, but it
is not universal by any means. Mr..
IDeLiagre, for one, disagrees.
The new companies will be di-
rected by Mr.. Van Druten and it
is more than likely that one of them
will stop off at the National on its
way West-if the National has an
opening.
The one with Katharine Hepburn
would please us very much, if Miss
H. is still fascinated with the Sally
Middleton role as she was reported
in the early days of the plays
success.
Metro Goldwyn- Mayer, which al
ways likes to talk about its research
department when you visit the
studio, and which makes more than
a conversational fetish of authentic
ity, is being very proud along those
lines today.
It has to do with the Jewels
which are large item in the melo-
drama, "Gaslight." Complete real
ism in that picture would have
necessitated use of the crown Jewels
of England, but considering that the
whole $30, ,000, 900 worth of them are
cached in some secret spot on the
planet for the duration, the studio
decided that kind of realism would
be ridiculous.
It was determined, however, to
settle for nothing less than the
"0eAAC0p4S 4CP1O0uCGiOllS, WHICH, you
can bet your last nickel, also are
rare and expensive.
These are being used for exhi-
bition purposes to raise money for
various charity and war relief org
anizations and Metro figured its
money raised in just the large and
impressive fashion that would please
the sponsors Of the collection.
The studio turned out to be alb
solutely right In that estimate, The
jewels were taken to HOLLYWOOD
where they glitter along with Ingrid
Bergman and others in the picture s
starry cast.
The insurance set a new high in
policies on a motion picture prop,
an item which Metro mentions with
pride not entirely unmixed with
modesty.

MGM is preparing for the payoff.
After the picture is released, they'll
