 There's one thing in my mind that appears in the shape of fu- tility itself-this endeavor, that is, if one wishes to call it that. I'm referring to the war, of course. We are fighting, it seems, in an effort to clear the world of corruption. Well, to give small scale ex- ample - instead of cleaning our own yard first, we burn all our en- ergy in an effort to cleanse the world.

HOLLYWOOD.
Concurrent announcements by two
leading Hollywood independent pro.
ducers, Hal B. Wallis and Benedict
Bogeaus, bear promise that 1946 will
see q new deal in the casting Of un.
knowns for featured and starring
roles.
Wallis, who left Warner Bros. Q
year ago to launch his own COM
pany under the Paramount banner
has been experimenting with the
idea in several pictures, and SO sue
cessfully that he plans to expand
1t during the coming year. For
protective reasons, he feels that
every independent film maker
should do the same.
Scarcity of good acting talent
caused by a wholesale refusal or
the part Of name stars to make
more than one picture a year-for
tax reasons-literally forced Wallis
to rely on newcomers for star roles
in You Came Along" Love Let
ters" and, currently, THE Strange
Love Of Martha Ivers."
The only box office name he had
in the first was Robert Cummings

no doubt, before the species is much
older.
First to make the schedule, or
agenda, of the cinema apparently is
Paramount,s "The Last Man in the
World" That one will star Ray
Milland. Just now at the top of the
studios male star cluster as a re-
suit of his magnificent performance
in THE Lost Week End"
Some one. beyond question, will
make something of the fact that
the man who could survive the
pinge Milland goes on in the latter
picture logically would qualify him
to be the last man in the world.
In getting of into the area of
the last man in the world in the
picture, Paramount is not attempt
ing anything like the documentary,
or even the scholarly speculative,
approach to the theme. It Is not
unlikely that more people will think
this is the way 1T will be with the
atom bomb after they have seen
the picture, but that won't be Para
mounts fault. The studio will be
merely indulging fancy, even as
every one else since the atom was
harnessed. Its adaptation of Peter
Shields novel, "The Purple Cloud" !"
will make use Of the inspiration and
imagination Of that old fantasist,
James Hilton, who gave humanity
such an amiable view of the here
after in Lost Horizon"
1t could be right interesting, what
the Messrs. Hilton and Shield, and
Paramount think will happen when
and If the world Is destroyed
through atomic energy.
Might even look more inviting
than this condition of worrying all
the time about what Is going to
happen.

getting to be one for every ques-
tionee these days, are busy in the

It Is too late to do anything about
it, but a diligent employe of Warner
Bros in Hollywood has figured it
out that the artistic and professional
life of Monte Blue would have been
a far different sort If early women
stars of the movies had only been
taller.
After labelling Monte's as the
most poignant career story" in the
history of the motion picture, the
man reports, ''he was too tall for his
own good"
He was handsome then and stall
wart and altogether a ladies' man
but who were the women opposite
whom he would have had to play
heroic roles?
They were Mary Pickford, the
Gish sisters, Mae Marsh. Gladys

Members Of the Women's Press

Only classification that arouses
real interest among the stars is the
vote for most unco-operative actor

I'VE could whip the talent situa-

Wallis said. "The time to do this
has never been more propitious.
Good pictures are playing to longer
runs than ever before. Thus a
newcomer is seen by many more
fans through a single picture than
would be the case in normal times
If the aspirant has the stuff he or
she can get to the top in single
part"
Bogeaus, whose name was un-
known in pictures three years ago
but who. brought the town up with
a start when he purchased the Cen
eral Service Studio, thinks along
the same line as Wallis, but Is ap-
preaching the problem from a diff.
