Movie Technicians
Save on Light Bill
BY the Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD.
Cinematographers and electricians
have developed a new rejecting
surface which, when used with
infra-red film, enables vast savings
in set lighting costs, technicians
say.
Scotch light is a new beaded
plastic having 300 times the re-

at Universal International have
been experimenting with its use In

Backings of this plastic material

they appear to be lighted when

Real lights behind the windows are
unnecessary.
The plastic backing finds another
important use in shooting night
scenes. These can be made in day.

eliminating the actual lighting of
large set areas at night, always an

Learn Their
Trade
By George Tucker

NEW YORK.
In a pleasant, functionally designed
apartment high above the snow
festooned landscape Of Central Park,
one of England's best-known actors
leaned across . table and intently
explained his personal views Of the
English and American theater.
I'm England" he said, there are
repertory theaters everywhere. It's
like going to college. You work every
day, and work hard. But you learn
to act. Here in America it's little
haphaZard. You work when you
can, but most of the time you are
looking for a job"
At 40 Rex Harrison has rare per-
sonal acting triumph on his hands.
He is the co-star of Maxwell Ander-

classical tragedy of the nearly
three years that Henry VIII and
Anne Boleyn lived together as man
and wife.
Changed Roles Weekly.
Harrison learned his business as a
youngster travelling from one roper
tory group to another in outlying
districts, playing different leads
every week for nearly four years.
1t was this type of schooling that
produced Sir Laurence Olivier, Diana
WinWard, Robert Morley. Robert
Donat, Sir Cedric Hardwicke,
Michael Redgrave and other con-
temporary stars of the English
theater.
Rex Harrison is tall. slender man
with brown hair, well known to
American movie fans and newspaper
readers. After four consecutive
long-run hits in London and tour
Of duty in the RAF, he went to
Hollywood three years ago.
But the rewards Of playing in pic
lures are not enough for any one
who is lost away from the theater,
he says. He was not happy there,
and after his name was mentioned
with others as acquaintances of an
actress who took her own life, he

been Office boy to Producer Lee
Shubert, also had been production
assistant to George S. kaufman and
had helped get Olsen and johnson
together in their first production of
Hellzapoppin' So he was not
exactly novice about most of the
tricks of producing a successful show
First, he and Ayers went to Bella
and Samuel Spewack, a playwriting
team who had turned out such pre-
vious Broadway hits as Boy Meets
Girl' and Leave 1t to Me" and
asked them to write the book.
Mrs. SpeWack suggested that Cole
Porter be asked to compose the
music as he had written the tunes
for their Leave 1t To Me"
But Who Had $1,000?
Then the two boys started out to
raise the money, and a production
as elaborate as Kiss Me, Kate" is
one that needs ample funds. Finally
the pair managed to assemble almost
enough to start the production, but
they we're still lacking $1,000.
For six months we wandered
around Broadway quietly inquiring
who wanted to invest $1,000 in a
show" Saint Subber said. I'VE not
only were asking, but we also spent
six months doing some very intense
worrying"
Eventually some OF our friends
thought our situation was getting
desperate when 1t seemed apparent
that the show might never be pro-
duced. So, so of them got together
and between them they raised the
needed $1,000"

on Broadway.
It paid of.
Hardly Henry's Size.
Leland Hayward came to my
house one night and asked me to
read Anderson's new play" said
Harrison.
"'If you like it, he said, run down
to Malibou and have a talk with
Max. He has a cottage there"
Harrison said he liked it lot,
but doubted his physique for the
part. I only weigh 160. Henry VIII
was a giant"
Il went to see Max and we met
almost every day for three weeks.

us. After it was decided that was
to play Henry, they made rubber
casts of my legs and head Then I
went to France and studied six
weeks"
Rehearsals began well enough.
Harrison recalled, "but-as with
every play-there were times when
everybody wanted to jump into the
river.
II had never played a classical
lead before" he went on. When /
put on all those things-the tre-
mendous padding, the built-up torso,
the leg casts-to make me look big
boned-it was awkward"
He said the opening In NPhiladel-
phia was a nightmare. The action
dragged. They called in a new di-
rector, rearranged some of the
scenes. and everything got better.
But in Philly nobody came" said
Harrison. I'VE played to half-empty
houses. After you do that awhile

Violinist Yehudi Menuhin, who for
years has taken motion pictures as
a hobby. has gone into the film
business in earnest, and his first
production, like the others he has
scheduled, carefully avoids being, as
he puts it, "a fantastic, stupendous,
enormous, prodigious, colossal Hol-
lywood project"
Hollywood has not provided so far
any outlet" for straight music, he
says. When singers or players are
called to the studios, their work is
only part Of the film story; they
have TO be actors as much as musi-
clans, and music is subordinated to
the plot.
Pure music, not fused up with
costume, scenery and love story. and
not accompanied by remarks about
its meaning or any moral at all, in
other words just plain music as it
reaches audiences IN the worlds big
concert halls, is the subject of the
first film.
Since it had to have title, it was

an ex-office boy happened to know
where he could find slow $1,000.
1t was, indeed, a tantalizing $1,000
to raise, but it was finally accom-
plished with the aid of so friends. AS
result Kiss Me, Kate" is being ac-
claimed by critics as the best musical
to blossom on the Rialto in the last
decade and money is coming into the
box Office in golden stream.
The idea for kiss Me, Kate
began with Saint Subber, an ex-
Office boy now in his middle tWenties.

he was joined by an old pal, Lemuel
Ayers. and they began chatting
about show business.
Got Idea on Tour.
Saint Subber, whose first name is
Arnold, but who uses only his two
family names as his theatrical trade
mark, told Ayres of an idea he had
for musical show. He had just re-
turned from q long route of theatri-
cal trouping. Watching the shows
partly from out front, he said, and
then going backstage to witness the
little personal dramas that happen
between actors and actresses when
they walk of stage, he had gotten
an idea for a show within show.
