1oLL1 WOOD.
Film tycoons are constantly fight.
ing among themselves, but the quar-
rels they wage seldom reach the
public-simply because the public
isn't interested. 1t is only when a
Flynn or Chaplin lands in a court
of law or one of the glamor ladies
decides to take on mate or rio
herself of the old one that the
travail of Hollywood reaches page
one. 'f.
However, the current fracas in
which Warner Bros. are trying tc
fire their star production head, Hal
B. Wallis, seems newsworthy if fol-
no other reason than that it again
turns a stray beam from the spot
light on the old question: What is
a producer-and why?"
The general public has a pretty
definite idea of what a director does
and knows many of its favorites by
name and reputation. A producer is
vague sort of figure to the fan
who sees his name high on top OF
the screen credits without realizing
Cor caring, perhaps why 1t should
be there.
Wallis, one of the 10 top money
earners in the motion picture in
dustry, reputedly drawing $4,000 q
week, plus a share of his pictures
profits, is an excellent example to
cite in explaining the manifold
duties Of a producer. We know
producers in Hollywood who grow
fat and lazy ON their big salaries
and false regulations, detailing most
of their duties to underlings and
taking all credit for themselves, but
Hal Wallis is not one of them.
Outside of Daryl F. Zanuck, who
heads a studio and is not technically
catalogued as producer, Wallis
is the hardest working film executive
we've ever met.
After lunching with him not SO
long ago and spending half a day
following him from ONCE to screen
ing room and to various stages on
the lot-punctuated by a never
ending series Of queries and quick
decisions-we concluded that the
only fun Hal Wallis gets out Of life
Is making pictures. And when we
ventured that opinion he verified it.
AS head producer at Warmers
Wallis was in complete charge OF
all units on the lot. At studio the
size of Warmers, 1t is seldom that
less than six pictures are shooting
Individual producers supervise each
picture, of course, but it Is Wallis
who is held responsible for their
every action. Each little problem
relating to script changes, casting
and the hundred and one other
items that come up in days work
on the sets must be okayed by the
big boss.
Not only must he keep his eye on
the current output Of pictures, which
includes four or five hour daily

Modern history's second mass looting
foray is swinging into higher gear. The
japanese Army and Navy are organiz-
ing to drain the last drop of manpower
and material from captured areas in the
Southwest Pacific before Allied forces
arrive
japanese radio stations are boasting
OF economic progress" in the Dutch
East Indies, the Philippines and French
Indo-Chins. Unconsciously they give
away the extent to which Nippon is
whooping up the bleeding of Southeast
Asia's life and economy.
Whether this process exceeds in cash
proceeds the Nazi rape of Europe is
question. There is no question, how
ever, that it feeds on the sweat of mil
lions of low-living standard colonials.
The Allied landings at Hollandia in
Dutch New Guinea appear to have
prodded the japanese in the East Indies
into fresh and bigger efforts to milk
those rich territories of everything pos
sible before the Allies arrive and put
stop to 1t.

Japanese broadcasts stress scrap COL

actual significance of this lies in what
the japanese define as scrap" If they
run true to form, it means anything

They denied combinations for those
imprisoned for anti-Japanese thoughts

The Indonesian "self-defense corps"

Published emphasis has been upon in
creasing Philippine food production
;much of this goes to feed Japanese

in the Philippines now, but laborers
also are likely to be used to increase ore
production and build wooden ships.
