Veteran Stars Sigh for the Furious Past

had been told that Valeska Suratt,
vaudeville star who did pictures
now and again, had habit of getting
temperamental in the middle of a
production, walking off The set and
waiting until the producer or di-
rector. or both, came to her on
Bonded knees.
Fox hired her for a picture and
sure enough, two weeks before film
ing had been finished, she stalked
off the stage and left the lot. No
body asked her to come back. At
the end of three weeks she couldn't
stand the suspense. She called
Fox's Office
When are we going to finish the
picture?" she asked.
IT'S finished said Fox.
Finished" echoed Suratt. why,
We were only half way through"
Cure Worked Perfectly.
THE picture was only half way
through" corrected Fox, but you
were finished. We shot the last
scene first. Don't you remember
where you drank too much in the
gambling hall and fell down the
stairs? We put a title right after
that. explaining that you had bro
ken your neck"
Miss Suratt said she'd be good
They did shoot some more scenes
with her in them. So far as is
known, it was the end of her at
tacks of temperament.
The late Warner GLAND. who Gre
ated the screen role of Charlie Chan,
the Chinese detective, was a fine
fellow, admired and respected, but
on occasion he would get ideas.
One time he decided that Stage
6 was cold and drafty and he
couldn't work there. To tear down
the big set and cart it over to an
other stage would have been so
costly as to remove any possible
profit the picture might make. After
bit of thought the producer, Sol
M. Wurtzel, made a change. He
sent GLAND home for a day.
Next morning when he came back
he was led to stage TO-" He went
to work happily and without hurtful
effect on his health.

IN the history of Broadway. There
are 43 names listed as investors in
the Lindsay and Grouse success, but
one-Mortimer Becker - represents

modest evidence of their belief in
the play and the producers.
Lindsay and Grouse began this

most OF the % hackers were of a

received nothing except the salts

Sullivan Prolific.
Boris Karloff and other actors in
Arsenic and Old Lace" complained
bitterly that the hackers were re-
ceiving more publicity than the
players. Frank Sullivan, one of the
more prolific of the literary angels,
engaged in purely tongue in
cheek discussion, published in vari-
GUS theater pages. on whether
drama critics shouldn't, in all JUS
tice, cut up the swag since their
reviews had contributed" so much
to the plays financial success.
Sullivan, taking the affirmative,
and Press Agent Dick Nancy on the
other side had a great deal of glee-
full whimsy published, all with re-
sultant publicity for Arsenic" The
resulting duel with typewriter rib
bons caused many readers to for
get the original facetious intent.
Among the % Arsenic" bakers
were Clare Booth Luce, Mrs. Clar-
ence Day, Boris Karloff, the afore-
said Sullivan, the inevitable Howard
Cullman, Lester Meyer, manager of
the Empire Theater, as we'll as two
OF his box Office workers, and sundry
minor investors who never before
had lifted hand in the direction of
purse strings for theatrical reason.

The &c hopefuls interested in THE

Producer George; Jeanne Cagney.
sister of Jimmy; Bernie Hart, now
a successful producer in his own

HULL WOOL.
A good deal of film has run
through Father Times newsreels in
the 80 years since William Fox
started producing pictures at the
picturesque Glendale Studio.
A humming hive of activity then
Glendale is forgotten today Mack
Sennett and many others took their
first steps toward fame and fortune
there. Now only few moldering sets
mark the site of the old film center
on San Fernando road, a couple
of miles beyond Aimee Semple
MacPherson's Foursquare Gospel
Church.
Twentieth Century-Fox now, in its
30th anniversary year, occupies i'm
posing quarters in the Westwood
Hills district, Is miles across Holly
wood from the old site at Glendale.
Fox came West to Hollywood in
1916 to supply the ever-expanding
demands of his nickel shows. He
already had come a long way from
his first upstairs room above 700
Broadway in Brooklyn where he
started showing films IL years ear
lier. He had produced his first pic
ture in 1914 at Fort Lee, N. j.
"Life's Shop Window" by Zane
Grey, who received 500 for the story
rights, and starring Claire Whitney

alities gone to seed?
Have they lost all that color which
in the days of not too long ago hit
the front pages regularly?
Old-timers think so. They add
that the newcomers know very little
about temperament. They sneer and
say these boys and girls of today are
a pale and spineless lot.
Let's go back just little.
| Now you take Simone Simon when
she was going good. At the drop of
false eyelash she would tear off
her costume, hurl it at the nearest
assistant director or some other
wind machine, and stalk majestical-
ly from the set. Those were the
days!
They had to build identical dress
ing room bungalows on the Para
mount lot for Pola Negri and Gloria
Swanson or maybe some fine morn
ing the studio would have been re-
duced to rubble. All. red blood flowed
in the veins of women in pictures in
the early days!
LIE MInc was lOugn.
They had fun, too. Cecil B. De
Mile frequently closed his set to all
who did not have a pass signed by
him. On one such occasion James
Cruze, another Paramount director,
whose pictures were crossing so
much nobody could object, closed his
set. Cruze always worked along in

the set tight. Wouldn't let anybody
come in without displaying to the
doorman a Bull Durham tag. Ten
minutes after Cruze laid down this
law the De Mile set became I'M
closed.
There isn't much set closing these
days. Betty Cradle and June Haver
did one of their numbers for THE
Dolly Sisters" in beautiful, SHIN
mering white costumes which were
so light and airy that single lady
bug could have flown the load at a
cruising speed of 30 miles per hour.
The only reason they closed the set
was that more interested onlookers
couldn't find room.
Walter Huston was having trouble
with his dialogue for a scene in
"Dragonwyck. He'd responded to
hurry call from his ranch up
state and had driven all night. Ar
irving at the studio he'd been hand
ed several pages of new dialogue
In the face of fatigue and the new
pages, he couldn't get going. FL
nally, he turned to Director Joseph
MankieWicZ.
Joe" he said, joking, I'm an old
legitimate theater man. I can't
work without an audience"
"Okay," returned the director and
forthwith instructed an assistant to
request the studios reception desk to
herd all visitors on the lot to the
scenes were shot.
In an hours time 80 or 40 visitors
were on hand.
"All right. Walter" challenged
MankieWicZ.
Believe it or not, Huston clicked
OIL the scene in a single take.
La Cava Has a Trick.
When temperament involves tar
diness there's one director who won't
be bothered. He is Gregory La
Cava. His cure Is to wait patiently
until the late player shows up.
"All ready, George?" he'll say
pleasantly.
Lets make screen history" the
tardy one may reply.

Or Perhaps It's
lust a Taste
For Turkeys
By lack O'Brian
NEW YORK.

One Of the major puzzles to many
a theatergoer is just what sustains
a Broadway show which suffers
critical obituaries and still manages
to make an extended run; In several
cases, such as Tobacco Road" and
The Two Mrs. CAROLS" of record
breaking duration.
1t Is mystery which no one can
explain completely. There are all
sorts Of theories, from deep phycho-
logical explanations to plain one
sentence or even one-word inter-
pretations: Sex" for instance, is q
handy descriptive in many cases.
But even sex fails to sustain some
|of the. theatrical stupidities for
which even the most liberal sensa-
ton seekers won't buy a ticket.
The simple explanation for these
failures is simple-they were awful.
But what about the "Abie's Irish
Rose" the School for Brides" and
other slightly foolish bits of literary
cooks follies which have prospered2
"Abie" Was Just Fun.
The explanation for Able" has
been Simple enough: the public de-
cided it was better fun than the
cynical, highly sophisticated tastes
of the reviewers. once the word got
about that it was lot of good.
simple, easily understood laugh-bait
spread on with all the delicacy of
broom and whitewash, it hit its
stride. School for Brides" is un-
comfortably bawdy. But it is now in
its 10th month.
Also of the current crop which
have prospered despite thumbs
down from New York's critics:
Follow the Girls" brash neo-
burlesque show which Gertrude
Niesen, through sheer exuberance
and broad leer, lifted out of the
turkey class. 1t now is in its second
year.
Foolish Notion" beaten badly by
some exceedingly blunt critical in
struments, but which, through the
attraction of Tallulah Bankhead and
the writing reputation of Philip
Barry, now is considered hit by its
producers, the Theater Guild.
Hope for the Best" also battered
by the flrst-night assassins, is hold
ing up nicely because of the box
Office attractiveness Of Franchot
Tone and Jane Wyatt.
Insane Touch Helps.
'Laf1ng Room Only" received
mixed to bad reviews, but it has
Olsen and johnson and Betty Gar
rett, plus some million rounds of
ammunition and insanity, and the
public likes it we'll enough to keep
it in Broadway's best musical COM
edy theater, the Winter Garden.
The Deep Mrs. Sykes" by Pulitzer
Prize Winner George Kelly, is an
other play punched by most of the
critics and still hanging on.
These are typical of almost any
year when the critics and the public
don't see eye to eye. There seems
to be no general explanation, al
though the producers of each show
which shoots to success aftIr thor
ough drubbings by the press have
their own reasons; usually it is
merely that the critics don't know
what's good when they see it.
