Beery becomes the star in the life
story of Frank Sinatra, or vice
versa, 1t probably will stand as the
most startling bit of casting the
movies have yet achieved.
It Is not that Deanna is not en-
titled to step out of the Patty-goes-
to-ooard1ng-s school roles that she
previously has played. She has
matured considerably in her brief
screen career and is entitled to
show the evidence Of it. The point
Is that she has not sufaciently ma
tured to suddenly play heroine in
one OF the works (adapted) of w.
Somerset Vaughan. Mr.. Maugham
Is not exactly a misanthrope, but
the women he has coined as an
author are not the kind for actresses
to be playing around with until they
are at least as old as Ida Lupino.
X X
Deanna's first venture into dive
life after all those years in the Ian
OF sweet luxury is not abetted very
effectively by several other faults
OF christmas Holiday" The basic
one would appear to be the script
which was made out of Maugham's
story by Herman j. Mankiewicz.
H. j. M. (to save that much news
prlnt) stopped with some fuzzy out
lines OF the characters Maugham
had made SO clear. That is an in
considerate thing to do to Young
players, the other even more con-
!used one being Gene Kelly in this
instance. Both he and Deanna
seem always a little vague as to
Just what Is expected of them, an
attitude in which audiences are
painfully likely to share.
christmas Holiday" to come to
Its point, IS the story of an inno-
cent young Vermont girl who for
no reason at all turns up In New
Orleans, where she marries the &C.
centric scion of one of the city's
Oldest French families.
The young husband is a weaklinp
skilled In the whole gamut of human
weaknesses. He associates with low
people, he plays the horses, he
drinks, he lies, he gets money by
any devious way he can conceive,
and he finally comes home one night
with the blood of a detestable book
maker on his patrician hands. The
burden OF living up to the moral
level OF an. old, good family simply
IS too much for him, even when to
his mothers devotion is added that
Of his young wife.
Deanna's relation to the young
man Is that of being a one-love
woman, a pretty and talented
youngster who descends to singing
in f1fth-rate night club in order
to be near him. living always with
a desperate sense of having to ex-
plate her failure to make a man of
him.

cal which focuses on others besides
its stars, Miss Powell and Dennis
Okeefe. However, with expert
enced spotlight stealers around like
Sophie Tucker, w. c. Fields and c.
Aubrey Smith, no one minds. AS a
matter OF fact, the bit parts are
played down to fit in quite plausibly
with the plot.
1t may be hard to believe, but the
picture has one OF these too, and
one with a different twist. In it.
Miss Powell is cast as a dancer
who has her head right down on the
ground beside her feet. At least
Eugene Palette thinks so, and he
decides to give her a chance to pull
their publicity agency out of the
beckoning red. This publicity angle
was a good one. The more difficult
a client is to sell the more outlandish
the stunt planned by Miss Powell.
For instance, trying to entice a few
customers into a place called the
Plantation Club she succeeds in
tying up traffic in Times Square
and landing herself in jail. Later
she decides to move an entire circus,
tent and tightrope walkers to the
top OF a Manhattan skyscraper.
Then for added suspense or for those
allergic to sawdust Miss Powell
stages a similar tightrope perform
ance above Grand Canyon. Pub
llclty stunts, you understand.
Between all this Miss Powell
dances, Woody Herman beats it out
with his boys and Cab Galloway
follows his example.
After the abundance of techni-
color musicals lately, 1t suddenly
gives you a jolt to see only un-
adulterated black and white en-
hancing Miss Powell's charms. But
then once she goes into action so
much space is covered you forget
the color of the horizon.

HOLLYWOOD.

One year ago Hollywood'S most
energetic director. Ernst Lubitsch.
suffered a heart attack, was ordered
to take long rest and warned by
physicians that he must never make
another movie.
Directing movie entails no
especial physical strain on the aver
age director, but Lubitsch works diff
ferently. He acts the whole picture
through himself. He gesticulates
with everything from arms to facial
muscles. He PAGES the sets between
shots. He smokeS-or once did
big black cigars on a chain system
This week LubitSch made his first
appearance on a movie set since
stricken. His studio, goth Century
Fox, made careful arrangement for
him to act as producer on 'CZarina,'
starring Tallulah Bankhead, turning
over the details of direction to Otto
Preminger.
1t was spectacle to watch
Lubitsch in his desperate but futile
efforts to relax. He sat in a chair,
folded his arms and tried to look
calm An idea suddenly hits him
and he springs out Of his chair with
it, conferring with Preminger or
some member of the cast. Then.
with great effort, he subsidies again,
only to Jump up moment later
with another idea.
Certainly glad to see how we'll
you relax" we tell Lubitsch. He
looks up sheepishly.
Il am relaxing" he protests.
Look, I may be bouncing around
like a jack-in-t -the-box, but that
door right over there keeps me calm.

That familiar Lubitsch trade
mark, the big black cigar, is gone,
however. The doctors really de-
livered kayo punch to the weeds.
Until his illness, Lubitsch was
smoking an average of 80 cigars a
day, but many were chewed or dry
smoked to their finish. Now ne is

The big job shared by every one
on the "Czarina" set Is that of keep

Most sensational thing about the
picture which opened yesterday at
the Capitol is its dancing dynamo,
Eleanor Powell, back on the screen
after an absence of a year At that
time the assurance of a good musi-
cal was infallibly spelled by the
rhythms of Miss Powell's tapping
feet. After seeing Sensations OF

haven't changed.
And while on the subject, Miss
