HOLLYWOOD.


Hollywood likes to make every
thing look sirnple-even acting and
directing.
Hazel Brooks, portraying one OF
Charles Boyer's sweethearts in
Arch Of Triumph" was told by Di-
rector Lewis Milestone:
you're supposed to look beauti-
full and oppressed. The Nazis are
torturing you for information"
Well" observed Hazel, makeup
will take care Of the beauty. But
how do look oppressed?"
Easy" said Milestone. "Just i'm
agine I'm going to cut all of your
scenes out of the picture. There
That's the right look. You look
good and oppressed right now"

Der Lubitsch.
THE Lady in Ernine" is an adult
musical fairy tale, done up in gleam-
ing Technicolor. It Is a saucy,
larkish spectacle In which Betty
Cradle Is an altogether reasonable
representation Of a countess with
whom a lusty conquering young
colonel might fall in, as Lubitsch
SAYS, love. This spirited invader,
played by Douglas Fairbanks, jr.
is by no means man LOOKING
for intellectual companionship, OF
course.
The last Of Lubitsch's pictures is
a fantasy, a tale in which ancestral
portraits hanging on the walls OF
Bergamo Palace come to live ana
mix into posterity's affairs with
more enthusiasm than they could
possibly have shown when alive.
This requires that each OF the
principals shall play two roles. a
current self and several times
great grandmother or grandfather.
It also requires that the audience
shall keep alert If 1t wants to recog-
nize who is who at what moment.
Even If it fails, things remain fairly
amusing.
In his witty argument that love
is mans gayest mischief, Lubltsch
is In nowise hampered here by Hol-
lywood's latter day talk of economy.
He was given q free hand to be as
elegant as he pleased. He chose TO
be Graustarkian In the architecture
and costuming as well as IN the
mood of his screenplay. This cost
Goth Century-Fox lot OF money,
but it makes an opulent sight for
the eyes of the customers. 1t may
be a long time before the latter look
again upon anything so opulent.
The setting of THAT Lady IN
Ermine" is properly a palace. 1t
comes into view for the first time
on the wedding night Of the Count
ess Angelina miss GrableX. The
ceremony is barely oyer when an
invading Hungarian Army under
Fairbanks marches in and takes
over.
The Countess, whose new husband
has fed, Is patiently the prize OF all
Bereamo. Yet, to the annoyance
of the young colonel Of the occu-
pying forces she turns out to be a
conventional beauty who belives In
the sanctity Of Bergamo's royal
marriages. =,

normally be, however. by virtue OF

ent Countess, and enough like hG
to be an identical twin, has the
happy trick Of coming to life. Three
hundred years before, under exactly
the same conditions, she liberated
Bergamo by spending a romantic
interlude with another conqueror
She is not only willing to do it
again, but actually accomplished
about 80 per cent of it, by appearing
to the latest conquerer in a dream.
Some Of the summers sheerest
nonsense is utilized in That Lady
in Ernine" but anyone in a mood
for nonsense will find 1t the sort
that inspired Lubitsch and his cast
to high jesting. Miss Cradle has
not looked 80 attractive in half a
dozen recent pictures, and Fair
banks cuts a suitably swashbuckling
figure as the suitor. Walter Abel,
Reginald Gardiner, Cesar Romero
and numerous others act as BELTS
performers clad in such handsome
costumes.
They will give you fine, frivolous
feeling in THAT Lady in Ermine." "

It is not clear Just what is beyond
glory in Beyond Glory at the
Warner, but whatever 1t is, 1t might
have made a more dramatic MIN
than the one Paramount has turned
out.
The picture is a well deserved tn
butte to the code by which West
point makes officers and gentlemen,
but its general effect is not unlike
that of an argument with some one
who isn't there. After all, Just
who is it that has been saying west
Point has not done its work Wen,
including those football teams with
Davis, Blanchard and Tucker?
It could be that Paramount names
these culprits-three hopeful TEL
lows with q story idea-in Jonathan
Latimer, Charles Marquis Warren
and William Wister Haines.
They have imagined a situation
In which the spoiled brat son OF a
so-and-so, q tycoon to be exact, Is
expelled from the academy and
raises such furore that 1t leads TO
a congressional investigation. West
Point is the one thing Congress has
not investigated, but nonetheless the
story does provide vehicle for Alan
Ladd.
He is singled out by the accusing
family and its lawyer as the sym
Dol of everything that Is wrong with
West Point. In support OF tnelr
charges, these nasty natured crea-
lures have built a quite artful case
which gives Director John Farrow
an occasion to combine the docu-
mentary and f1ash-back technlques
in telling his story
What 1t has to relate in its Ia
borious fashion is that Cadet Ladd
is every inch hero worthy Of West
Point and its highest traditions.
Instead of sitting out the war at
West Point, as charged, he fought IT
in North Africa where he was
wounded and decorated with the
D. S. C. Instead Of exceeding the
rules which govern haZing at the
academy, he applied them with far
less vigor than they were en-
ployed in his own case. He ends up,
indeed, being everything the prose-
cution said he was not, including the
fiance of a pretty war widow played
by Donna Reed.
Beyond Glory" is at its best IN
its revelation Of the system under
which the Military Academy makes
uniformly polished professionals out
OF the vastly varied raw material
submitted to it by 0 democracy. The
fiction which goes with this factual
is not its dramatic equal
and this is the Aims chief handt-
cap.
Paramount has supplied the pic
ture with q competent cast, which.
beyond the stars, includes George
Coulouris, George Macready, Henry
Gravers, Tom Neal and Harold ver-
milyea. J. ..

lights mean little to sport-con-
scious citizens when an idol hope
is in view. Such was the case
on that very fumid Friday after
noon, July 30, in front of Tom
Tilghman's tavern-restaurant az
2:30 p. m. The ex-Baltimore Elites
backstop was informally dressed in
dark trousers and a white slip
over. Despite this, some persons
in the small group that quickly
swelled to sizable proportion after
the news got around, recognized
the rifle-throwing Brooklyn Ledger
catcher. Roy Campanefia.
Policemen who seldom stop to
socialize because of departmental
rules on same, grasped the power

broad smile. The little fellows, o
year oldsters who some day may
go into baseball as one does law,
medicine or journalism, hun g
around in the vanguard looking at
Campanella as I in my kid days
eyed heroic-looking Jack Johnson.
Unassuming, willing to answer
baseball or other questions as fast
as they were shot at him, we lis
tened with the crowd until his
admirers were finished with their
favorite, introducing ourselves just
when he was set for a final take
off. The things we write about

JACKIE ROBINSON
VISITS JEWISH
BOY IN HOSPITAL

BROOKLYN-(ANP)-A visit to
a local hospital was made by
Jackie Robinson to see a very sick
Jewish boy. 1t was revealed here
last week.
Although Jackie Robinson told
no one about his visit, not even
his teammates, now it can be told.
One day, a doctor posted on the
Dodgers bulletin board that a
sick Jewish lad in the hospital
would be very happy If one or two
Dodgers would visit him for a few
minutes.
The next morning, the first Wis
itor to the hospital was the Dodger
second sacker. He knocked on the
patients door, introduced himself
to the nurse and the boy. Both
gave him an excited welcome.
Jackie then presented the lad an
autographed baseball from the
Dodgers and some toys. He also
gave him a handshake and pep
talk. The lad sighed:
Gee, Jackie Robinson, and he
came here just to see me-"
When Robinson was leaving,
many of the nurses spoke to him
and congratulated him for his
gesture. A few days later the
physician wrote a note thanking
Jackie for his trip, and told him
that the boy seemed to have a new
to get well.
