HOLLYWOOD.


There's q great big hand wrapped
around the neck of the motion pic
ture, and its deadly grip grows
tighter by the day, say those In the
know out here.
It's not the box office this time,
nor a reform bent public. The VII
lains spring from within the busi-
ness itself.
They're actors-specifically, a
group of about 25 top stars! Indus
try chiefs fear that this willful lit
tie band, through thoughtless greed,
may dig at the very foundation Of
the business.
Production policies-number OF
films to be made, type of stories,
casts and other important details
now are being dictated by these
players. Unless someone comes up
very soon with formula for dis
pelling their authority, Hollywood
will be ripe for a trade revolution
within a matter of months.
This was the alarming predic-
ton made today by one Of the
screens oldest and best known stu
dio heads. His opinions are unani-
mously echoed by others, large and
small, who have been brought into
disagreeable contact with the "ul-
ira independents over the past sew
eral years.
Refused Long Pacts.
'"The situation is deteriorating so
rapidly" declared this company
leader, that We might as well step
out and let these stars run the show
from our own offices. Actually,
they're doing just that, anyway
We have very little to say. We are
at the mercy of the so-called per-
sonalities. 1t is a peculiar state of
affairs for any business, and I don't
think a lot of us. to say nothing of
the general public at large, realize
how much the actors have usurped
our authority for debating picture
policies"
The matter began getting out of
hand five years ago when star play
ers, as a tax defense measure,
started a swing toward forming
their own corporations to produce
movies. One by one, they refused to
sign long pactS with their old COM
panies, unless given the opportunity
to make one, two or even three pic
lures each year on the outside.
Today there are SO many stars
heading their own producing outfits
that trade names for them virtually
have been exhausted. Some 80
actors and actresses are still bossing
their own units Most have met
only desultory success. Departures
from the star lists have caused ter
rife financial hardship to the big
companies.
Taxes Take a Bite.
Players cannot be blamed for at
tempting to better themselves. If
they detect a loophole by which
heavy taxes can be circumvented
it's only human nature to seize
upon it. Wage earners in other
lines do the same thing. On top of
that. this all-important factor
mustn't be overlooked: The average
actor is full of conceit. thinks he
knows story and production policies
much better than the boss, and
establishment of his own outfit
gives him the opportunity to ex-
plot that ego.
At one of the big talent agencies
"a while back they sat down and
figured out what three of their
clients, in separate income brackets,
would have left at the end of the
year after tax deduction. An actor

cornered Walter on his latest
trip to Hollywood. He's man to
behold with his hair a bright
greeny yellow-tf1is is change from
bis recent pinkish-yellow-his mink
lined fur coat, and three huge
diamond rings. Then there is his
great gayety and his willingness to
talk about his movie star clients.
Lana Turner always wants the
most daring hats" says Walter, "and
Gene Tierney the most distinguished
hats"
Florel1's hats now range in price
from S65 to $75 apiece--in line with
President Truman's plea for reduced
prices. They used to range from
s75 and up!
Joan Crawford usually buys 20
hats at sitting" says Walter.
Could that be why he says she has
great hat style! Joan according
to the hat man, "takes on the per-
sonality of her clothes. She has a
deep fashion instinct"
A famous European-born movie
star is now getting bald on the top.
But that isn't the reason Florell
doesn't want her any more as a
customer. She wears my hats for
weeks, then says she doesn't want
them and I get them back!
Garbo Hides in Hats.
Gertrude Lawrence has an in
teresting hat foible. She wears her
hats like man. says her hat
maker. "They have to be trimmed
over the left eye. Men do every
thing on the left: women usually
wear their hats on the right"
Garbo used to buy her hats at
Florell's New York establishment.
But Walter couldn't take it. ''She
wanted hats to disguise her like
elephants ears because she said that

Only her chin would show. That's
the quickest way, of course, to get
attention. I was once at the the

everything very badly. He's full OF

at one medium" (Writer's note:
don't agree I think Don's dresses
and hats are extremely good)
Husbands Hate Him..
Anyway, Walter got into the hat
business because he used to design
the dresses and hats for his dancing
partner in London and Paris. Tht

The one thing Rosalind Russell
would rather do than act in pictures
Is have babies.
I'm one of seven children my
self" said the Waterbury, Conn,
gal. "and I'm only sorry don't
have a dozen"
So far, Ros has one-her 3-year-
old son Lance-and she was past
30 when he was born. Now ap-
preaching 35, Ros was a bacnelor
girl until she married eX-Agent FREQ
Brisson in l94l.
If there is a good one-word de-
scription of this turned
dramatic actress, it's "forthright,
Before her marriage, she used to
say she wanted a husband, but
didn't know where to find one
Il know only one thing" she
would say. When it happens to
me I'll know-and I'll grab him.
She met Brisson In the summer
of 1e41. In October OF that year
she was humming Lohengrin.
Along with young Lance. Ros has
almost acquired a daughter. Lance
and George Murphy'S little girl,
Melissa, called Missy are almost
inseparable.

they'll be blacking each other s
ewes. but right now they're very
cute together. Lance won't do any
thing or go anywhere unless Missy
is there, too
He won't, that is, unless RoS hap
pens to decide otherwise. Despite
her relative inexperience, Ros has
very definite ideas on how to raise
children. The foremost idea-some-
what unusual in the movie colony
Is discipline.
II FIRMLY believe in it," she in
sists. "A chile requires tremen-
dous lot of love and care, but dis

From this, you might gather that
Ros has little patience with the

thought in modern education. She
hasn't.
I'm going to send Lance to both

says. "A little of both will be gooo

the picture might be shelved and a
potential profit of $1,500,000 to the
company along with 1t!
We do not know that Power ever
has acted in this manner. But 1t is
common knowledge that there are
parallel cases coming up every week
in every studio to throw the hooks
into the best laid income plans OF
the major lots. In large measure,
the studios are responsible for these
sit-down strikes on the part of big
stars. When producers signed their
contract with the Screen Actors
Guild 10 years ago, they asked to be
allowed to settle disputes with play
ers privately rather than through
the Guild. The result is that they
have built a monster-one that now
threatens to uproot the whole
scheme of movie e-making.
Ginger Closes a Deal.
Some fantistic deals between
stars and studios either have been
negotiated or completed within the
past few weeks. In view of troubled
box-office conditions all over the
country, lower budgets and cur
tailed production schedules, these
moves are little short of astounding
1t is reported that Ginger Rogers
one of the most ambitious of the
free-lancers, closed a deal with
Columbia to star in the musical
TT Had to be You" for a tota
figure of sC.lewhere near $3.50, ,000-
salary, plus assistants and appurten-
ances taken along.

cessful of all personalities to form

dissolution of her organization anc
placed her services on the open
market-at a proposed salary Of
100000!
An up-and- coming independent
lot, seeking the prestige Of big
names, made an offer to Irene
Dunno to star In the adaptation OF
a fine novel. Miss Dunno countereo
by asking that her cameraman, still
man. hairdresser wardrobe expert;
and several others be included in q
package deal with her-at 1925,

Certain players who have topped
their prescribed income for the yea1
can be prevailed upon to go back
