Ho||ywood's Sure Thing
IS Pictures Make Money Regardless of Merit

the FBI' cost 100000 to make,
and it has earned $1.8 million.
This same thing that hap
pened to the star system in the
theater is happening to the star
system in Hollywood" Foy said.
There. are. only six real stars on
the New York stage. In the other
plays they nave to put new talent
like Marion Brando in Street.
car for instance. That's what
we'll have to do in Hollywood to
stay il business Well just have
to eliminate the star system"
What about Betty Cradle and
Gary Cooper" he was asked.
'Betty's a musical comedy star,
and she'll do business. All the
musicals lose less money. even
when they're bad, than a dramatic
picture will. Even Bing Crosby,
when he gets a really bad one,
like Mr.. Music won't do any
thing at the box Office.
Ideas, Not Slogans.
"As for Gary Cooper. put him
in a big hat. and he'll do BUSH
ness, but in The Fountainhead,
he failed to draw. Any actor or
actress would be worth 100000
if you knew they could bring it
to the theaters. Those days are
over. and. another thing, I don't
think we can help our business
with silly slogans, like movies are
better than ever All we need are
some good ideas"
Television does not worry Foy.
"Television is another frontier. A
gold mine for writer's. actors. di-
rectors. It's a new field of enter
tainment. / don't think we should
fight television. any more than
fighting baseball. or night racing,
or chase the circus out of town.
TV didn't hurt 'Hornblower.' or
The Great Caruso' What tele-
vision will ruin is radio, like talk
ing pictures treated silent pic
lures"
How about Rita Hayworth's
status as a stare" he was asked.
Put her in a good picture, and
she'll be a star" Foy persisted,
adding, 1.-The best example of that
is Ingrid Bergman. She made
three flop pictures-there's a par
ley of three, but" the producer
concluded. pictures are picking
up. We've had some good ones.
The future looks bright for Holly
wood. With keen competition we
must have keen pictures"

By Sheiloh Grohom

Which stars are box Office, and
which are not?
Bryan Foy, veteran producer
who makes his films at the Warner
Brothers Studio, made the start
ling statement that John Wayne
is the only actor in Hollywood
whose pictures make money, no
matter how bad the picture is.
To-day. the plays the thing. A
good film without a star will do
business. If a real star happens
to be in the picture, so much the
better. But the star system is
dead. The Heiress' had Olivia de
Havilland. and she's supposed to
be star, but the picture lost
money. Burt Lancaster, in The
Flame and the Arrow did BUSH

My Hands, with Joan Fontaine-

CORY Peck, in Captain Horatio

Only The Valiant he's just fair"
Foy said.
Kirk Douglas became a star in
Ia picture called The Champion,
and, as result. his salary jumped
from $4,000 to $4,000 picture,
but not one of his pictures since
then has amounted to anything
at the box office. I'll name them

Lii Is Just
Like Hamlet,
But Funnier
By Mark Boron
NEW YORK.

Now is the beginning Of the
theatrical season when audiences
have high hopes Of new shows.
At the moment, however, the
Immediate record Is the return of
Mae West in her everlasting and
delightful Diamond LIP and two
American Yiddish musical revues
called Bagels and Yox" and
.Borscht Capades."
Miss West has been playing
Diamond Liz since she first
wrote it back in 1928. Now she
thinks she is about through with
lit, but there is a question about
that, judging from the enthusi-
Iastic reception she got the other
might on Broadway.
"I'll admit I'm permanently
type cast" she said. :. Diamond
Lii is like Hamlet, but funnier."
Miss Vests performance Of the
Irish American side Of New York
has been profitable property.
Not only has she received the
|gilded revenues of it as a stage
vehicle, but the original novel has
sold more than $4,000 copies.
Laughs in Yiddish. 4.
The two other Broadway OPEN
Iings so far depict the Yiddish side
Iof Manhattan's cosmopolitan
character.
"Bagels and Yox" and "Borscht
Capades" both will probably run
as long as "Abie's Irish Rose"
Judging from the laughter and ap-
Iplause at the openings nights but
you have to understand the sub
tleties Of Yiddish humor to get
| full appreciation. Many of the
most hilarious gags simply can
not be translated into English.
Lou Saxon, master Of ceremon-
lies of "Bagels and Yox," an
nounced that this musical revue
would be in English. A great deal
of it was, but the punch lines were
mostly in Yiddish and so the hu-
NOR was lost to much of the
audience.
| 1t reminded of the times when
Spanish, Russian and theatrical
troupes of other languages have
appeared on Broadway. But those
depended chiefly upon sketches
based on music and dances, while
"Bagels and Yox" depends largely
upon Yiddish dialogue.
Like Silent Film.
The same situation is true with
the musical "Borscht Capades'
which is a beautiful show pic
torially. Mickey Katz. star of the
show. said that the show would
be enjoyed whether the audience
understood little or no Yiddish.
/ If you don't understand Yiddish,
it's the same as looking at a silent
motion picture.
| The odds, though, are that these
two Yiddish shows which have
had such long tricks to Broadway
will be here for as long as Lou
Saxon in "Bagels and Yox" and
Mickey KatZ in "Borscht Capades"
have strength enough to stay on
their feet,

Q AS8ocIuted FTeSS
HOLLYWOOD.


Wanda Mckay is combination
movie actress and lady house
builder-which is quite a combi-
nation even in Hollywood.
Il like to have a little money in
the bank" is how'the petite player
explains her unusual sideline.
She and her brother. Bob
Quackenbush, have formed a
house-building company which so
far has built and sold five homes
in the greater Los Angeles area.
Wanda can read blueprints and
handle saw and hammer but, she
says her big contribution is in
design.
Il know what a woman wants
in house, especially such things
as closet space and room sizes and
locations. 1t pays off because it's
usually the wife who has the final
say in buying"
Building houses doesn't inter
fere too much with her acting
career. She has just finished the
lead in two RKO comedies.

Either he is not star, or he's get
ting too much money. They
might as well have had someone
for $4,000. or nobody"
Don't get me wrong" con-
tinued Foy. Most of these people
are good actors, but no actor ever
made movie great. Great movie
roles have made actors. I once
made a picture called Smokey
Fred MacMurray was in it, but
lit was the horse who really starred,
and the picture crossed SIS mil
lion. I have picture now, The
Tanks Are Coming Steve Coch-
ran is the only actor whose name
lis familiar, and it's sure fire. Be-
cause of it, Steve is getting to be
a pest. He won't play this scene
or that scene. He's beginning to
believe his publicity.
"Paulette Goddard was offered
to me by her agent who told me
she would do the picture for
nothing" Foy continued, ''but
even nothing could be too much.
She can blame Anna Lucasta' for
that. Take Humphrey Bogart.
His last few pictures have not
been UP to the standards he used
to make, yet, a movie like 'Fabi-
ola, with players no one knows in
it, is doing business. A picture
like 'Breakthrough, with no stars
at all in it. has already crossed
over 50 million in this country
alone. I Was a Communist for
