HOLLYWOOD. Being q
Latin lover. says Fernando
Lamas, is nice work OF screen
but hell on 1t.
The handsome Argentinian
has been fighting the Latin
lover tag most Of his movie
career.
IF you look half way de-
cent and wear tight pants
well--and have an accent"
bemoans Lamas. "then pro-
ducers can only see you as
another Valentino.
II tell them: 'Latins are
like everybody else. II you
kick us, we bend over and
scream just as loud as North
Americans or Europeans"
Fernando wants to play o
gangster-or any other gusty
role. Most Of the scripts Of
fered him are for Latin-lover
types in technicolor movies.
II tell producers: Look at
us Latins once in black and
white. You always see US in
technicolor.'"
Two years ago. Lamas re-
belled against Latin-lover
roles and went to Broadway.

Nama huitof OF Ine otht
There is a new thing wrong
with the movies these days,
namely that there are not
enough Of them.
Thus. the exhibitor who
used to worry about the
quality Of the films avail
able has the much more
I acute torment Of finding that
the quantity is inadequate.
The situation is such, in
deed. that some of the proud
est Of first run theaters serv-
ing the most select of au-
diences. are reduced to show
ing not merely second run
pictures but some which are
positively venerable. Actual
~, hungry managements
md themselves offered O
few specialties among the
Oldest Of the oldies which
have been shown on tele-
vision.
Three Factors At Work
How come that there are
too few movies?
First. Of course, the savage
cut In Hollywood production,
to one-third the number of
films that were almost literal
~ manufactured in the days
when more than 500 were
needed to service the Ma
tons theaters.
Second. an even sharper
reduction In the number of
nlms produced abroad In the
major European industries
Of England. France and Italy.
Third. the survival of many
more film theaters than
looked possible in the days
OF television's heaviest in
roads into the one-time huge
movie audience. Moreover,
there has been a vast increase
IN the number Of drive-in
theaters, these once satisfied
with outdoor adventure and
melodrama films but now al
most as willing to play what
are called art" films.
The 'B" picture, so long
the staple In the program of
even the major studios in
HOLLYWOOD. has totally disap-
peared in the production
schedules Of even the minors.
II q Hollywood picture comes
out "B" quality today, and no
one denies that many of them
DO. 1t is q mistake for which
someone must pay.
But Not Audiences
In fact. for which every
one pays except the one-time
movie audience which can
md other things to do with
its time and money.
In Hollywood's philosophy
today, mediocrity, or worse,
is for television. The latter,
to be sure. Is not exactly
clamoring for n1ediocrity and
even less for inferiority but
1t is visibly not as unrecon-
ciled to 1t as Hollywood
struggles to be.
A reflection of the film
shortage is to be found in
the ferocity of its hold once
q theater lays its hands upon
q popular picture.

much gratitude.
Such q one Is the MacAr-

ton for having been merely
mildly popular elsewhere.

The See North Carolina" promotion now under

H. Stevens of Warsaw some years back and the
NerSatIon we had about fine state and how some
natives spend their vacation going hher and yon in
the nation without having visited the coast or the
tainS of North Carolina
Judge Stevens opined that he had probably made
more speeches and Travelled more in North Carolina
and in the nation than any Tar Heel He has spoken in
every town OF more than 1000 population in the StaW
and IN every city Of than 10000 in the L. S. That
came before during and after his being Department and
National Commander of the American Legion.
At that lunch ne told how homesck he used to get
for Eastern North Carolina while travelling about the
nation on Legion business One day he and Tom Byrd
native Of the hills around Asheyie in one of
the mountainous national parks Of the far west Tom
looked out the window, gazed up at the tall peaks and
declared Henry, the glory of God is displayed in the
majesty Of these mountains"
"Huh"' Henry snorted I'D rather have one bucket
of seawater from the North Carolina coast than all the
mountains out here"
That reminded Judge Stevens of a practical joke
Rusty Davis Of Wilmington played upander who
visited WrghtsVllle Beach for the first time. AS the
excursion started to depart Of the party rushed
down to the shorelne with half-gallon jar and filled
1t with seawater to carry home and show his folks. .
