Few people realize, when they are
amused and thrilled by the ingenu-
ity and artistry in a Walt-DiSney
picture, that they are seeing a
production more meticulously pre-
pared than the most ambitious Of
Hollywood super-featureS.
Take "Pinocchio'. This fea-
ture-length picture in technicolor,
required 100000 drawings to achieve
its production. But before the
enormous staff of mixers and paint
ers put pen and brush to these
450, 900 drawings, not only thousand
of other sketches and layouts had
been made. but various artisans and
technicians had created hand made
models OF all the props in the pic
ture. as we'll as Of all the char
acters.
Music boxes, clocks, pipes. toys
and even a miniature stagecoach
and wagons were among the props
made in the extensive Disney stu
dio. The music boxes are mounted
with figures, one comprising four

POLL

The current attraction at the
Loew-Poli theater is the laugh
filled tale, THE Sailor Takes a
Wife," starring Robert Walker and
June A.lyson. The freshness,
warmth and sympathetic qualities
which have brought Walker to the
top since his first appearance n
PVT. Hargrove" are again revealed
in his new role as a medically
discharged sailor.
Permeated with humor and those
doTn-to-earth touches familiar to
everyone who has known the diff
cultieS Of those first days Of mar
rage, the story of THE Sailor
Takes a Wife" follows the often
hilarious. often poignant attempts Of
John and Mary Hill to set UP house
keeping, following their whirlwind
courtship.
Miss AliySon keys her portrait of
the young wife with tenderness and
understanding while Audrey Totter
as the amiably flirtatious "other
woman" offers a tongue-in-cheek
quality to her hole that is spon-
taneous and hkeable. Hume Cronyn,
as an uninaglnative business man,
plays the part to the hilt. Eddie
Rochester Anderson contributes
an extremely amusing characterize
ton as the janitor of the newly
wed'S apartment who is always
about to fix all the leaks but never
quite gets around to it.
The companion feature. Behind
Green Lights, brings a new kind
of mystery thrills to the screen.
Carole Lands and William Gargan
are romantically teamed in this
thriller. Much of the ac-
ton in this modern police drama
takes place in the busy pressroom
OF a metropolitan precinct station,
with Gargan as the. romantic de-
tect.ve lieutenant and Miss Lands
as the young society girl held on
suspicion OF murder.
The young policeman's intense
efforts, force a political plot into
the open, and his tracking down OF
the real murderer bring the film to
les exciting surprise climax.

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. al--DEAR
STAFF, I talked with Boris Kar.
loft the other day and haven't
been able to get him out Of my
mind since. His Is a strange case.
Ono Of the top names in Holly.
wood, he's been a star for years
vet he's probably the loneliest man
In town. In spite Of his many sue
ceSses, he receives almost no fan
mail and few people ask for his
autograph or picture. IT'S Karloff's
opinion that If it wasn't for modern
psychology, mothers would threat
Ell their children with "Karloff will
get YOU" instead Of the proverbial
"boogyman,"
OF course, his unpopularity with
the public is the result Of the hor-
ror roles he has portrayed for
years. I don't suppose anyone who
saw "Frankenstein," for instance
could help shuddering at the men,
DRY Of some Of the scenes he so
wildly enacted. II was sensation
al picture, but IL branded the star
a fiend in the minds of even those
who raved about its realism.
Karloff tells me he has decided
not to play any more monsters and
will henceforth insist on sympathe-
tic roles. I can't help thinking he
is wise Those few people who
i,Nnv. i.l,,. a,aa HIS. .i,..s,a a. a..
a very kindly fellow, with deep
understanding and sympathy for
all mankind. 1t is unfortunate that
the success he so richly deserved
should be the Frankenstein that
has almost destroyed his personal
happiness.
l, for one, hope that Karloff Is
able to make the transmission. I
would like to see him play some
gentle sympathetic roles for a
change and I think he would be as
capable In the new characters as
he was In the old horror pictures.
The man Is a fine actor and If his
studio lets him come out from be-
hind the grotesque masks he must
wear for fright" films, they will
find a benign personality who
would undoubtedly be accepted by
the public. That would make Boris
Kafloff a much happier man.
JIMMIE FIDDLER
DEAR BOSS: II you want us to
feel sorry for Karloff, we'll take a
shot at it, But, it's tough as
signment when We remember the
horrible amount of money he's
been making for the last twenty
Ave years just by making faces at
little kids. On second thought, We
hope he does switch. Then we'll
start making faces at you and see

Projects Increase
In New York Area;

ny JACK GAVER
New York, Feb. 2i-Cup)--A few
lively fellows with money TO invest
in something besides the stock
market are showing keen appre-
citation for the future Of teleyision
and motion picture making in the
New York lnetropolition area. Since
televiSion and movies are closer
than blood brothers, they may have
something there.
Up In Yonkers, which Is a subway
nap and a street car hop from
Times Square, w. Horace Schmid.
lapp Is putting some Of his Gin
cinnati fortune into the building
Of a $4,000 movie and television
studio at Central and Tukahoc
Avenues. The names OF his Arm is
Associated Filmakers, Inc, and
Stanley Neal Is the president. This
Is the same Schmidlapp who mar.
ried movie star Carole Lands a
few months ago and who bowed out
Of a career as a Broadway producer
last fall after presenting an operet-
Ia called "polonaiSe," now on tour.
Associated Filmakers hopes that
the studio will be ready for opera
tons by July /. Building materials
shortages have made the date a bit
uncertain. The outfit not only
makes its own product for Arms
which want commercial screen
shorts, but 1t is planned to rent
space to outside producing COM
panies. This sort OF seeup, Of
course, Is a natural for television,
which will need plenty Of film both
of commercial and entertainment
nature.
Another project is underway over
in Brooklyn. The Lafayette Tele-
vision e. Motion Picture Studios,
Inc, or Lt--MPS, If you have been
properly conditioned by a certain
radio program, this week acquired
the Elks clubhouse at Lafayette
and oxford Streets. The six-story
building will be reconverted i'm
mediately. within 30 days II pos
sible. Three sound stages 100 feet
long and of varying widths and
heights will be constructed and
the whole plant will represent an
outlay Of 100000.
The facilities of this plant will be
for rent to any producers of any
kind OF movies who have the price
and inclination. The company is
seeking television channel.
This project recalls the days
when there were five leading film
studies in Brooklyn. The only one
Of these remaining is the old Vita
graph Studio in Flatbush, which
Warner Brothers use now as
film laboratory.
All of this doesn't mean that
Hollywood is going 10 have to look
to its laurels, but it does point up
that has been apparent
right along-thre there are several
types Of matchmaking that can
be done just as handily in New
York as anywhere else. The poten-
tial needs of television have opened
quite few eyes.

New York, Feb. 2l-CUP)--Stand-
ing among eight and o half" dogs
Trainer Grin Benson OF Eagle, wis,
asserted emphaticallv today that
retrievers play an important part
in the conservation of game be-
cause they bring back 90 percent
Of the kill.
Benson is a Minnesota farm boy
who went to the dogs IL years
ago because Of the ease with which
he broke a gun-shy dog. Currently
he and his canine charges are the
hit of the National SportAnans
Show in Madison Square Garden.
"A retriever can bring back your
game on land or on water" said
the stock man with the slick black
hair IF YOU have only field dog
you are liable to lose most of your
kill. Take duck hunting, for in
stance. ! know a man who shot
eight to get two-because the six
Others fell into a lake and he
couldn't reach them
Benson believes that every hunt
ms party should be compelled by
Law 10 have a retriever for geese
or duck hunting. That may sound
q bit on the prejudice side - but
Benson has plenty about which TO
be preiudiced.
No Injury
For his dogs are perfect examples
Of how a retriever work. In the
bis exhibition tank. they stand per-
fectly while a shot is fired and
live duck is thrown into the water
by Bensons pretty wife. Then, at
his command. they retrieve the
duck without injury.
That's where the half dog"
comes in. It's a little brown Dasc-
hound--a lang dog-which Benson
has taught to be a retriever.
1T is the only Daschound I've
ever heard OF that would swim and
retrieve game" he said.
Another is a Chesapeake Bay
named Deadpan Moco which eXcels
in leaping takeof into the water,
Old Deadpan in one OF the shows
made a 81 foot leap.
All of the dogs are selected from
the 40 or more which Benson has
