The producer also noticed =
and this, too, may have helped
the Cowan-Moscow pact-that

siderably when he honestly
praised their movie-making
facilities rather than belittling
them.
They do have an excellent
studio" he says. "They also
are doing fine things with
their institute where they train
not only actors and actresses,
but directors, cameramen and
other technicians. There are
young people coming along now
who didn't know the early

new ideas that could develop
into something interesting.

PROJECTS AND PEOPLE
The Cherry Blossom Festival,
which originally confined its
drama to suspense over whether
or not the blossoms would come
too soon or too late, is adding
a theatrical production again
this year. It's Sandy Wilson's
popular British musical come
dy, 1.-THE Boy Friend" to be
staged at Roosevelt Auditorium
the nights of April 8 and 7 by
the Harmony House Players.
This is a local group dedicated
to the staging Of musical plays.
Last year the Harmony House
Players contributed to the
Cherry Blossom Festival BY
staging "The Mikado," and it's
a little late to raise an eye
brow over that fascinating
news. 1.-THE Boy Friend" at any
rate, cannot be accused of nip
ping at the hand that planted
the trees. It spoofs not the
japanese but the occidental
1905, a real safe target. Will
liam Mcguire is directing it
and the choreography is being
done by Lydia Franklin.
Next week will be a big one

first American-RuSsian CO.
production Of a motion picture.
Mr.. Cowan still isn't quite sure
himself how it came about.
The late Mike Todd failed to
do the same thing several years
ago and he had Elizabeth
Taylor along as a decoy.
Mr.. Cowan does think he
knows what helped him i'm
mensely where others have had
no success. Honesty and a
straightforward approach, he
thinks, won the Russians re-
spect and allayed any suspicion
they may have had.
II went to Moscow fully
aware that nothing might
come Of the trip" he says. Il
decided I had two weeks there
and the only thing to count on
was spending two weeks there.
II I made a deal, fine. If I
didn't, fine. I went in relaxed.
II stated my conditions. I
wanted to know who was going
to edit the film, who would be
allowed to make changes in it
and things of that nature. The
Russians set forth their condi-
lions. In eight days instead Of
two weeks we had a deal"
The picture planned for the
reproduction effort is a film
version of Mitchell Wilson'S
Journey to a Far Meridian"
the story of the rivalry, private
and professional, between an
American and a Russian scien-
fist. Mr.. Wilson now Is working
on the script in Moscow and
when it's completed, shooting
will start under the guidance
of a Russian director. Other
scenes will be shot in Holly
wood, Mr.. Cowan's next stop,
for casting and other pre-pro-
duction labors.
The producer Of q long list
Of Hollywood films varying
from you Can't Cheat an
Honest Man" to Ladies in Re
tirement" to 1.-THE Story of CT
Joe" didn't stop with the CO.
production agreement when in
Moscow.
+, "They showed me 10 Of their
best current pictures" he re-.
ports, land I brought three of
them back with me to distrib-
ute in this country. They're
really quite good and there's no
propaganda in them. At least
it isn't blatant propaganda.
They're learning and if there is
any, It's subtle"
Mr.. Cowan also Is planning
to send some Of his films to
Russia for, he hopes, distribu-
ton there. There's a dearth Of
comedy and there should be a
ready audience for such things
as w. c. Fields my Little
Chickadee" and the Marx
Brothers Love Happy"

The Hollywood producer still
has not sorted out all his con-
illusions about Russia and the
Russians gained on the Mos
COW journey. He does feel sure
that the RussianS-at least the
ones he encountered in his mo-
ton picture negotiations-are
