HOLLYWOOD.

| Barry Fitzgerald's got Hollywood
in his blood and he can't get it out.
And now he's perfectly satisfied
about the TRANSMISSION. 1t took a
trip back to his native Ireland, his
first in 10 years, to rid him Of the
pangs of homesickness
Every six months or SO during
that long spell out here when I was
getting nothing but the bumps,
Barry told us over cup of codee
at his little home near the Para
mount studio. Il used to pack up
and get ready for permanent move
back to where I came from. Some
thing always happened-usually a
small part in moyie-to stop me.
But after Going My Way came to
definite decision. I had to find
out whether it was Ireland or Holly
wood. Well. now 1 know. I went
over last June, spent the whole
summer. 1t was great seeing the
old folks. But I found out this: I
guess I'm just Hollywood boy,
after ALL"
First thing Barry did upon his
arrival was to drink four straight
bottles of Guinness stout. "I'd for
gotten what q good drink 1t was.
he said.
And That Weather!
"The Emerald Isle, indeed" Barry
unused. 'I arrived at Shannon Air
port, near Limerick, at 1:30 in the
morning. Everything was pitch
black. If 1t hadn't been for the life
giving qualities of the Guinness ]
would have been in the depths OF
despair.
Il had been away long time ano
had forgotten lot about Ireland
One thing that struck me at once
was the narrowness OF the roads
It took me four hours to drive the
so miles from Limerick to Dublin
the next day. Another thing I had
overlooked was the weather. 1t was
terrible. The worst they had In
30 years. Rained almost every day
And never realized how small that
island is. It's only 152 miles wide
and 365 miles long. Why, that's
much smaller than California"
On the whole, though, Barry re-
ported himself pleased with Ire
lands general appearance, the
people and the way OF life.
! Most of the three months he was
! there, Barry stayed with his sister
and her husband, just outside OF
Dublin. His brother, Arthur Shields
| lives In Hollywood and, like Barry
| is an actor. Unlike Barry, however
Arthur is still waiting for his big
break. Shields, incidentally. Is
Barry's real name.

town" garry chuckled, my sisters
place WAS practically besieged by
fans. Dublin Is a great movie city,
with more Aim theaters for its size,
they tell me. than anywhere else
in the world.
ITO kill two birds with one stone
and to get some peace of mind
hoped-I staged a press interview
a few days after my arrival. This
went OF pretty well. although I did
get in q few jams. as you might
well know, because become a little
confused in crowds-and some of
those questions came thick and fast.
It was my first mass interview, and
I certainly was embarrassed"
Weather permitting, Barry said, he
spent most of his vacation time
playing golf and sailing on Dublin
Bay. He was made an honorary
member of just about every boating
and golf club around that vicinity.
1.-The thing that touched me most
during the whole trip" he said, was
the attitude Of the golf club mem
bers. And especially the profession
ais. Whenever took my clubs over
to q new course, the pro would
present me with a new ball-compli-
ments Of the club. Golf balls are
terribly scarce there. The situation
is so bad that whenever a player
loses a ball the entire club starts
looking for 1t"
Treacherous Waters.
Only fair o-middlin' golfer. who
bats 'em around in the 90s one day
and out in the zoos the next, Barry
derives more satisfaction from his
sailing.
"A man has got to know his way
about in a boat on Dublin Bay he
said authoritatively. There is a very
treacherous body Of water The
winds keep changing all the time
and the bay is filled with dangerous
shoals. On top of that, there are
very few places boat in distress
can run into for shelter"
As might be expected, Barry paid
several visits to his old stamping
grounds, the Abbey Theater. Ex-
cept for the new faces on the
boards, he said he found little
change there. The theater was
still at the same location on Abbey
street and the plays were produced
and acted with the same high stand
ard. After the performance. he
went backstage to pay his respects
to the players. One evening, after
a show. the actors gave dinner at
the Dolphin, an internationally
famous restaurant, in his honor.
On the whole, Barry found the
food in Ireland exceptionally good
and plenty of 1t.

uolL WoOD.
The movie town is following ths
horses these days-for box-offics
reasons.
Film producers are discovering
that the equine breed, although they
may not be profitable at the pari-
mutuels, can pay off very salts
factorily at the Nations theaters.
Flicka might be considered the one
who started this trend. His first two
films brought back excellent re-.
turns and another. Green Grass Of
Wyoming" is being planned.
Then Smoky romped across the
screens, followed by Gallant Bess.
MGM is planning more films for the
latter nag. believing it has as good
an attraction as Lassie. Who knows
they might become a co-starring
team, like Greer Carson and Walter
Pidgeon.

her to make the grade this time than
when she started, because there are
several new faces at the studio

Joyce used to get. And Andrea King
