Enrol Told to Act His Ace
By SheiIoh Grohom

Enrol Flynn, on the set OF "Cry
Wolf,' tells me he had the bright
idea of playing his bachelor role
as an interesting, middle-aged man
with silver hair at the temples. u
spent whole day making up to
look middle aged" says Enrol, but
when Jack Warner saw the make
up he said, Look, kid, there's plenty
of time to look older" So Mr.
Flynn will be seen in "Cry Wolf"
at his real age. He will be 81 next
Thursday.
Mickey Rooney and Lima Romay
are rehearsing dance number for
Uncle Andy Hardy" Or it might
be truer to say that Lima is rehearS-
ing while Mickey flops on a chair
and watches her. Finally, Lima
stops wiggling to protest. Come
on, Mickey; I'm doing all the work.
Come on-get up!" To which Mas
ter Rooney replies, "I'm just sitting
here enjoying myself" As part of
the business, Lima is supposed to
lead Mickey astray, and she dances
around him, chucking him under
the chin and stroking his face. 1t
must be hard for her to do this
convincingly because every time she
touches Rooney he makes undig-
nified noises! All in fun, of course.
Then he scares the life out of the
lady by jumping up, grabbing her
around the waist, and rushing her
up and down in his violent version
of Samba dance.
How do you like working with
Mickey" I ask the perspiring Miss
Romay Fine" she replies, sur
prisingly. We're two of kind!
Well, she's energetic.

never too fast to pause for a glance
at such funny things as high priests

whose main job is jotting down the
sayings of the king, and ladies in
waiting who are just waiting for
the Princess to make a slip.
While Miss Oberon and Bey are
the best looking members in the
cast of Might in Paradise" the best
performance probably is that of
Thomas Gomez as the money-mad
Croesus. Or it could be that of
Gale Sondergaard as the ghostly

/ Patiently this is the stuff to jar
movieeoers out of their private dol
drums and Night in Paradise" does
its best. It's technicolor is vivid to
a point just short of gariShness;
its royal baths are the nearest to
splendor the movies have been since
priorities began; it's costumes are
not merely eye-f1lling but virtually
binding: and the mere suggestion
of leer gives the story a naughti-
ness which must have at least
arched the eyebrows of the in
dustry's code authority.
The plot frame work has to do
principally with the affairs of King
Croesus, Aesop of the famous IA
bles, and Princess Delrai. They
are strange characters, perhaps, to
find in triangle, but one of the
lessons of Night in Paradise" is
that the triangle is no modern in
vention.
AS the story opens, Princess Delrai
is coming to Lyhia to make an in
ventory of Croesus possibilities in
a royal match. She Is frankly in
terested in his money, he in her
renowned beauty. Neither is exact
ly naive, and certainly that is
not one of the qualities of Aesop
who shows up coincidentally with
Delrai at the palace.
Naturally, and just as time has
proved, Aesop is the smartest of
the trio. In the disguise of Grip
pied hunchback, because no one
would believe one so really young
could be so truly wise, he resorts
to his fables to Illustrate any pos
sible marriage between Croesus and

quet, the studio chose Merle Oberon
and Turhsn Bey, both of whom
seem to feel quite at ease in ancient
history.
Walter Wanger's production, let
it be said, approaches antiquity
with its tongue in its cheek The
language of Night in Paradise" is
a kind of double talk, saying one
thing and meaning another which
no reasonably sophisticated movie
goer will have any trouble under
standing. The archness of its dia-
logue is obviously designed to be it's
major comedy element and its au-
thors have archly avoided any
temptation to be too subtle.
In taking the mind off the reali-
ties of today, Might in Paradise"
does not take the position that
things were Utopian back in ancient
Greece. With all that money, King
Croesus was having a rank time of

Goering told the war crimes
tribunal that Adolf Hitler and his
war planners had never developed
a blue print fo- invading any part
of the North American continent
Scented Danger
Even if Germany had COM
pletely dominated Europe" be
said, because of the smallness Of
its fleet and its lack of long range
bombers, threat to the American
continent was never spoken Of.
Contrarily, we always were afraid
of danger from the other side.
The No. 2 Nazi, testifying for his
fifth day in a fight to save his
life, said also that the Nazis lad
never prepared for an economic
penetration of South America.
Dollar Talked
Smiling suavely, the portly. Goec-
ing said that economic penetration
of South America was impossible
because Germany could never
compete or endanger the United
States and British position there"
The mark was not the deter
mining factor there - but the dol
lar" he said.
Defends Plan
Goering defended German plan
ming for future actions by citing
alleged captured French docu-
ments. He asserted that these docu-
ments disclosed British and
French plans in the summer Of
1910 for widespread raids on neu-
trail Soviet Baku and Romanian oil
