NEW YORK.
This was a most narrowing week
for first nighters. Three shows
opened in three days which resulted
in the highest concentration of the
atrical rubbish in years.
The first two were grim, rather
than Grimm's, fairy tales. I would
suggest them as modernized and
more effective substitutes for such
obsolete cruelties as the rack, the
water torture or any comparatively
comfortable torments. Consistent
attendance at any of the three
shows would most certainly be more
effective penance than the most
ticklish hair shirt.
Treating them chronologically-
for they have no claim to prece-
dence by reason of theatrical value

Who Lived Twice" This little hor-
ror by Leslie Floyd Egbert and Ger
trude Ogden Tubby was produced by
Hall Shelton and was staged by
Paul Foley, misguided fellows in
deed. 1t presumed to be a meta
physical melodrama, but it resulted
in as CONCEALED a mess of psychic
Stiffness as would surely force both
Freud and Jung into the nearest
strait jacket in protection.
The second opening took place
Wednesday evening at the Royale
Theater. 1t is, or was, called Devils
Galore" and told about a devil who
comes to New York City in 1945

He's Fair to Workers.
Workers on his pictures regard
him with affection, no matter how

BY and large, Hollywood has come
to accept Welles as part of the scene,
though always prepared for some
startling maneuver. Welles accepts
Hollywood in much the same man
ner, always reserving the right to
amaze the town again.
Welles says he prefers radio to
other dramatic mediums because it
leaves so much room for imagina-
ton. He considers his journalistic
efforts better for listening than for
reading.
AS for films, he likes working in
pictures and exploring their as yet
uneXhausted possibilities.

HOLLYWOOD.


Animals! Just tell a movie star
that the picture contains big
part for an animal-fish, fowl, bird
or beast-and the ensuing scream
of anguish can be heard all over
Hollywood But not all the animals
are dumb or mean. Here's how some
of those you have watched in pic
lures are trained to compete and
work with human actors for the
screen.
You remember that when Capt.
Rickenbacker was lost in the Paci-
fic, he and his companions prayed
for something to turn up that would
be edible? Finally, sea gull
alighted on Rickenbacker's hat. In
the making of the picture, Captain
Eddie" based on Rickenbackers life
q sea gull had to be trained for
the important sequence. Trainer
Curley Twiford received permission
from the State Fish and Game
Commission to catch a gull. He
agreed to feed it diet of fish and
at completion of the picture to turn
the bird loose at the spot where he
had caught it.
The Gull Was Smart.
Curley hired a man who wore
the clothes and hat that Fred Mac
Murray as Rickenbacker would wear
for the scene. He placed the bird
on the mans hat. Then he stood
a foot away and dropped the bird
on the hat from a distance of 6
inches. Finally he could toss the
bird from across the room and it
would alight on the hat. He did
this every day for several weeks
But every one expected the actual
take" to last several days. The
gull fooled them He was tossed
from behind the camera and landed
squarely on Fred's hat in one
"take!"
In THE Lost Week End" you will
see a realistic fight between bat
and a mouse. The bat is phony;
the mouse is real. A prop man
held the mouse by its tail behind

chanical bat attacked the rodent

It's time to bring the catalogue
