RKO has made two nautical pic
lures in the past few weeks and Is
busy on another-a matter that
caused Charles E. Koerner, studio
general manager, and former circuit
theater operator, to call attention to
the vast profits accumulated by
movies having their background at
sea.
Look over the list of such pic
lures. dating way back to Down to
the Sea in Ships and you'n see
what mean," said Koerner. why
this should be / don't exactly know,
but I do recall as an exhibitor that
every time we showed ship picture
even the bad ones-it meant ex-
tended runs and lot more money
to carry over to the bank"
y u n
Let's follow Koerner's tip and
check up on few of these watery
epics.
The tradition seems to have be-
gun with THE Sea Wolf" in which
the late Hobart Bosworth starred in
early silent days. 1t continues right
up to the present time. So strong
was the box Office pull of THE Sea
Wolf" 1t was remade three times,
once with Noah Beery as the star,
later with Ralph Ince and finally as
a talking picture with Edward G.
Robinson in 1941.
1t was picture with ship back
ground, Captain Blood" that
zoomed Enroll Flynn to stardom, and
another. Down to, the Sea in
Ships" which elevated Clara Bow to
the top ranks. "Mutiny on the
Bounty" brought Charles Laughton
to the peak of screen popularity
and in his latest, Captain Kidd" "
he does an encore. The late Milton
Sills' name became synonymous with
his greatest picture, THE Sea
Hawk"
Koerners studio is launching its
two seaworthy films within the next
few weeks. They are expected to
sail into box Office ports with golden
cargoes. They are Johnny Angel"
with George Raft doing most of the
emoting on a trans s-Atlantic freight
er, and The Spanish Main,' fea-
ture filmed almost entirely aboard a
galleon and pirate ship of the 17th
century, with Paul Henreid, Maui
reen O'Hara and Walter Selzak.
Currently, RKO is producing
"Riverboat Rhythm" a comedy with
music, which has Mississippi River
showboat as the main setting
Last year "'Lifeboat" was SEN
sation, all action taking place in
one small boat. THE Long Voyage
Home" directed by John Ford, was
another hit picture.
Almost ready for release is The
Enchanted Voyage" which Goth
Century-Fox has finished with June
Haver and John Payne. The entire
story is wrapped around the love of

unique, is no less than terrifically
special.
Mr.. Hellinger's first choice, we
hear, was Ida Lupino, and another
nominee-as distinct from candi-
date-is Vivien Leigh.
We admire both very much, but
We are glad that Mr.. Hellinger, OF
some other buyer of Miss Lawrence s
story, will have to cast the star
role.
The furore that he is creating
with his magic and hypnotic act at
the Capitol Theater is no greater
than that John Calvert achieved
at his press party the other after
noon at the Statler.
Not unlike Houdini, who used to
insist that newspaper people were
among the easiest customers to de-
ceive, the tall, dark movie special
ist proceeded to run through the
whole gamut of his tricks, each of
which was received with complete
baffiement. Favorite spot in the
elaborate routine was that in which
Calvert hypnotized couple of Ma
rine sergeants who volunteered to
collaborate with him.
The sergeants, Bob Hickey and
Arthur Finnegan, were recruited di-
rectly from the Statler's lobby by
way of proving that Calvert did not
work with stooges. He could not
have done more, however, had he
been working with familiar cub
jects. Sergts. Hickey and Finnegan
and a scad of other admiring guests
were still going on with the show
when we had to leave with these
words of Calvert ringing in our
ears:
Il would not want you to believe
anything l do is extraordinary. or
anything but a trick. I wouldn't
try to fool you"
We were fooled any way.
But we do know the ending of
the screen script which Calvert has
written for the movies, a mystery
tale about magician, which he has
written in his spare time when he
is not being an actor in the movies,
an aviator, magician or a hypno-
tist.
He is quite variety of fellows
considering he is only one to look at.

RKO Goes Happily to Sea

an old man for his ship-which is
washed down the Mississippi dur
ing flood.
1t appears to make no difference
what type of film has the ship
background, whether it is comedy,
drama or musical. "Showboat," a
musical, was a top hit on stage and
screen, ranking equally with the
dramatic pictures already men
toned.
Other sensational box office films
with ship backgrounds include
"Moby Dick" which starred the late
John Barrymore; THE Divine
Lady" starring Corinne Griff1th
Reap the Wild Wind" one of Cecil
B. De Miles greatest successes, and
Anna Christie" Garbo's first talk
ing film and the one which raised
the late Marie DresSler to starring
roles.
Yes, Koerner seems to be correct.
There's box Office gold in them thar
ships!
Every big fight in the movies is
invariably compared to that memor-
able finish battle between William
Farnum and Tom Santschi. 1t ran a
full reel and had the spectators limp
at the finish. Farnum actually suf-
fered broken jaw and a bad leg in
jury and was hospitalized for sew
eral weeks.
Today DIARY of Chambermaid,
starring Paulette Goddard and Bur-
CESS Meredith, describes its big fight
scene-between Hurd Hatfield and
Francis Lederer-as more gripping.
more exciting than that one in THE
Spoilers
Could be, of course, but we're in
clined to doubt. The Farnum- -Sant-
schi brawl can never be duplicated,
for our money.

OF the infantryman at war. Mr.
Cowan thinks it will be necessary tc
bring Joe home from the wars, that is
to say, to make picture which will
deal with his Homecoming.
1T won't be a solemn picture, but
1t will be serious one," the dark
short and energetic Cowan told us
between telephone calls. But
think the approach to the return
ing veteran has laid too much stress
on one aspect of his return. So far
the public has encountered in life
and on the screen, mostly the fight
ing men who have been wounded
and discharged for other disability
Think of the millions who will just
come back, wiser and completely
whole. There will be so many more
of them. They will make the great
story, the great mass story just as
Ernie wrote 1t of the fighting man in
his books. The screen will have 10
say something of them"
Cowan thinks that the accent on
the returning wounded, the battle
fatigued and the disabled has tended
to make people forget that men do
come back from wars ready to re-
sumo life where they left off.
Understand" he said, Il am not
criticiZing these other pictures, but
I think there probably have been
too many of them"
He has one profound regret in
connection with his plans for an
other type of CT Joe screenplay, a
laan orl fro o{r rooraf
Ernie would have been the man
to write such story" he thinks.
Il know of no one who had such an
understanding of the mass of serv-
icemen. He understood them cGm-
pletely when he was with them in
combat and, am sure, he would
have done the same with reference
to their coming home"
He does not despair, however, of
finding some one who may approach
Ernie'S knowledge of the emotions
serviceman.
IN give him, or them, a long
time to try to reach that under
standing" he says. Plans for the
screen drama, he says, are indefi-
mite.
But you can bet it will be made.

A pleasant, somewhat disconcert-
ing, subject to brood upon if you
have the time is who will play
Gertrude Lawrence when, and if,
her autobiography is sold to Hol-
lywood. 1t is almost certain that
the sale will be consummated
quickly. The newly published book.
"A Star Danced" has aroused more
heated bidding in the cinema than
any other of the season, but the
first deal negotiated by Producer
Mark Hellinger has struck several
snags.
The enthusiasm to purchase the
autobiography indicates that Cinema
producers are under no great 6e-
gree of concern that they may not
find a suitable impersonator of
Miss Lawrence, who, if she is not
