Midseason Report on State of the Stage

$3.50 attempt at the intimate musi-
cal comedy style, but its music at
best Is only moderately satisfactory,
its lyrics middling, it's book mostly
dullish.
THE Desert Song" is a lumber
ing revival Of the old Romberg-
Hammerstein operetta, jazzed up
with overripe corn and too-hysteri-
cal burlesque injections.
THE Magnificent Yankee" a
biographical drama based on the last
years of the late Justice Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, is a dignified, slow
paced but rewarding play, with an
excellent performance by Louis CAL
hern as Mr.. Justice Holmes.
"The Red Mill, revival of the 1906
operetta, has Victor Herbert music,
Eddie Foy as a wonderful comic,
good direction and clean, fresh air
about it that sends you out of the
theater whistling happily; the sur
prise success of the season.
1.-THE Winters Tale" by W.
Shakespeare, is one of that play
wright's lesser efforts and the The
ater Guild has given it one of it's
lesser productions. Only for very
Chauvinistic Shakespearean zealots.

liere's lie Bourgeois Gentilhomme, -

HOLLYWOOD.

HULL I WOOD.
Authors have the jumps these
days, but they're pleasant little
jumps, caused by producers peering
over their shoulders, anxious to
grab off even their unfinished tones
and at skyrocketing prices never
before paid in the film industry.
There's no question about this be-
ing the big day of the writer in
Hollywood. Creators of short, me-
dium and long stories-even the
synopsis of likely tale-are being
wined and dined and paid hand
somely for their wares by all studio
heads.
It has actually reached the point
now where name author can dis
cuss nebulous formula with a pro-
ducer and draw down payment Of
$4,000 or so~right over a table at
Romanoff's.
Approximately $4,000, 900 has been
poured into the pockets of publish
ers and novelists by movie makers
during the last 18 months. This
sum represents stories either now in
production or being prepared for the
cameras.
AS an example, there's that $780,
900 William Cagney calmly laid on
the line for Adrian Locke Langley's
novel, "A Lion in the Streets" as a
starring vehicle for brother James.
Based on Best Sellers.
Producers have learned that the
lending library customers are the
people whose patronage underWrites
the box office Although the sales
potential of tome represents only
a small percentage of the audience
that will view one film, heavy book
sales definitely presage the popu-
larity of a movie version.
Currently the three top money
makers at theaters are attractions
ba.c, cn bcSt-sellers. The success
of Charles Jackson's startling novel,
The Lost Week End" is given a
measure of credit for the big crosses
being piled up by Paramounts film
version, even though it is agreed
that the picture, an academy award
favorite, would be a winner without
the presold audience that read the
novel.

Directing Children
A Matter of Luck
Nv the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
Any honest director will admit
that directing children is often as
much a matter of luck as of artistry.
The small fry can't be expected to
stimulate emotions in the same way
that an older actor can, and as a
result, subterfuge is the way that
those appealing shots are often OBJ
tanned.
Fred zimmerman, directing Butch
Jenkins, 8, in Army Brat was
stumped as to how to get Butch to
portray worry over his sick mother
Butch's charm is his naturalness and
he is indifferent to making pictures.
So zimmerman didn't dare press too
many rehearsals on the child. Final
ly, as it didn't go well, zimmerman
called a recess, and sat back watch
ing Butch amuse himself with a
yo 20. He seemed to be pondering
something weighty as he played, the
very expression the director wanted.
On inspiration, zimmerman let
Butch do his scene with the 70 yo;
the worried expression filmed just
right, though the worry was over
balancing the toy, not over his sick
mother.

Today Is Authors Day in Hollywood

Stratton Porter's Girl of the Linn
berlost."
Such American classics as Rich
ard Henry Dana's Two Years Be-
fore the Mast" now on film for the
first time, are particularly valuable
properties in these days of big back
logs and extended playing time that
hold up releases. Because of the
timelessness of the sea epic on to-
days market, 1t has been held nearly
two years after its completion and
the studio can continue to hold it
for a suitable release date without
any loss of revenue.
Several authors are cleaning up in
pictures. Raymond Chandler has
sold all four of his mystery novels
to studios, with Farewell, My Love-
ly'' C"Murder My Sweet'D and The
Big Sleep already filmed, and "The
High Window and Lady in the
Lake" on current schedules. Chand-
Ter is SO engroSsed with film duties
that he hasn't enough free time to
accept several offers for publication
of his first original screenplay, The
Blue Dahlia," in book form.
James Cain has also registered
four sales to studios. His Double
Indemnity" and Mildred Pierce
are past hits; The Postman Always
Rings Twice" has been filmed and
"Serenade" is being prepared.
In the Western field, Ernest Hay
cox has several studios among his
customers. He's the author of the
Academy award-Winning Stage
coach" and his Abilene" and Can
yon Passage" are awaiting spring
release.
Familiar Titles.
Ben Ames Williams with THE
Strange Woman" and Somerset
Vaughan with THE Razor's Edge,
also continue to sell to studios con-
sistently, and Lloyd C. Douglas
best-seller, The Robe" is his latest
entry for films.
Kathleen Winsor's Forever Am
ber" is now getting the same pre-
production build-up that once sur
rounded the quest for feminine
lead in Margaret Mitchell's Gone
With the Wind"
Meanwhile, nearly score of best
sellers are shooting, completed,
ready for release, or in preparation.
They include Miss Susie Slagle," by
Augusta Tucker; THE Green Years"
by A. j. Cronin; THE Yearling," by
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings; Anna
and the King of SIAM" by Margaret
Landon; "Cluny Brown" by Marg-
cry Sharp: "A Walk in the Sum-" by
Harry Brown; "Dragonwyck," by
Anya Seton; Enchanted Voyage, .
by Robert Nathan; Centennial
Summer" by Albert E. Idell;
Smoky" by Will James: The
Fountainhead," by Ayn Rand, and
up Front" by Bill Mauldin.
1t would seem like a century back
that David o. Selznick grabbed
something called Gone With the
Wind" for a paltry $4,000. Today
the price for any sort of interesting
novel-published or not-starts at
around $4,000, with apparently no
ceiling on the most desirable ones
The way things are going in the lit
erary market, somebody would make
fortune with book-o the minute
club.

that they can hardly wait for books

Written to Order.
In some cases today the authors
can almost name their own deals.
Paramount has just bought an in
completed manuscript of Blaze of
Noon," a story of commercial pilots,
from Capt. Ernest Gam, and the
novelist is now finishing his work
on the studios time. Another unique
deal involves Goth Century Fox S
purchase of Guy Endore's psyche
logical novel, "Methinks the Lady"
Endore has been signed to develop
a screen play in 10 weeks time, with
the agreement that if the script is
okay the studio will buy and, if not,
all rights revert to Endore.
One studio, MGM, even has novels
written to order. 1t sponsors an
annual contest with prizes totaling
100000. Last year. of 70 novels
submitted, Metro not only bought
the winner but also the runnerup.
Not all today's studios properties
from the literary field are new. The
best works of many contemporary
authors repose within easy reach in
studio vaults and are available for
refining whenever a new genera
ton is considered likely to receive
them cordially.
Booth Tarkington's Monsieur
Beaucaire," first made with Ru-
dolph Valentino in 1924, was recent
ly busted off and reconverted as a
Bob Hope comedy. Warmers like

hams "Cf Human Bondage" with

phone Mr. Goldwyn long distance,
but he always said No."
Cathy was enrolled in the Amer
ican Academy Of Dramatic Arts
where, under the supervision of Ed
die Goodman, who once coached
Katherine Cornell, the budding film
star learned the ABC of acting. The
gal who taught Cathy how to dress,
what to wear and where to buy, was
Mrs. Goldwyn, one of our smartest
was in New York. At the academy,
Cathy studied ballet and how to walk
gracefully.
"Then I had my first real expert
ence at acting" Cathy tells me- Un-
der her new name-it was taken
from the Cathy in "Wuthering
Heights'-she went on the road as
Mary in Life With Father" COM
pany. Six months of this and Mr..
Goldwyn decided the time was right
to bring her back to Hollywood
where she was introduced to the
press by Teresa Wright at cocktail
party.
She hasn't had much time to give
Hollywood the once over, but she
thinks of this place as home, ever
though her family is still in Okla
homa. AS befitting a future star,
Cathy lives in her own apartment,
although she visits with Clarise, the
girl who came here with her and
who was not as lucky. The local
wolves are beginning to veer In the
direction of the blue-eyed, warm
faced, 21-year-old actress, but ro-
nance is not on her schedule of
near-future happenings.
"Too Insensitfve."
ooh, I want to get married." she
insists. But not until I'm much
older-28, or maybe 29 And then I'll
marry man much older than am
Young men are too-too," she thinks
hard for the right word, then gets
it-"young men are too insensitive,"
says Cathy.
Apart from being a movie star,
Miss O'Donnell is poetess. In her
spare time she scribbleS verses. And
the man who wins her love will have
to love her verses. She even sends
them to Boss Golywyn. And he must
think that he has a big star in
Cathy, because Sammy actually
reads her poetry. At least that's
what Cathy surmises.
