FNMA Sales
Show Big
Increase

Secondary market mort
gage sales by the Federal
National Mortgage Associa-
ton during the second quar-
ter of this year totaled $685.
$4,000, the highest figure for
one quarter since FNMA's
Secondary Market Opera
tons program was launched.
The first half of this year
saw more than $500 million
in sales recorded which also
made it the highest six-month
period on record.
High sales Of mortgages In
the secondary market by
FNMA tend to indicate that
mortgage money is plentiful
that there is more money
seeking investment in mort
cages than there are new
mortgages being written.
During the second quarter
Of this year, purchases Of
mortgages by the agency
amounted to $52, 1850, 900.
Commenting on the volume
in the quarter, FNMA presi-
dent j. Stanley Baughman
said: "The record high sales
established in the second
quarter is the result of a
continuing abundant supply
Of residential mortgage funds
plus the fact that it is now
fairly well known a m on 6
long-term investors that
FNMA has available for i'm

prompter. Incidentally, one Of

neglect to identify Sophia

Clearly he was not thinking
Of her as an italian fellow.
Nor, surely was anyone in

Buried deeply among the
minor Oscar heap was a win
ner group which brought O
glow to some of the less pa
rochial thinkers on the sub
ject of prize-worthy creative
ness in films. This went to
three chaps whose names
were as unfamiliar as they
have been quickly forgotten
since last Monday nights
revel.
The names are those Of
Ennio de Concini, Alfredo
Giannetti and Pietro Germi.
And what did they win, the
prize for Tony Curtis riding
boots In "Taras Bulba"? No,
indeed. They are the authors
of the best story and SCREEN
play, the one usually de-
Scribed as written directly
for the screen"
The film, Of course, was
"Divorce-Italian Style" an
outrageously and mordantly
funny script that turned into
the years best comedy.
Just Like Natives
The pleasant aspect Of
their Oscar is that its win
ners were not clasSed as for
eigners. On the contrary, they
were as integrated as the
grape stompers in Califor-
MAS Napa Valley. They were
there in the competition, If
not in the aggregate flesh,
and they won without anyone
remembering that they were
Italians who worked on an
Italian film.
1t is unlikely that they
will ever have their faces
carved on the bottom Of
Mount Rushmore, yet it could
be that they are the three
who cracked the nationality
barrier in Hollywood's great
Oscar sweepstakes.
This could be q significant
thing some day, remembered
as having led to Hollywood's
acceptance Of the cinema as
q more and more interna-
tional medium and one In
which prizes should be
awarded on an international
basis. sci

THE PASSING SHOW

is that which gave Lawrence
Of Arabia" two of its top
Oscars. This pair Is that for
best picture and best director,
the latter England's David
Lean.
In logic, these two mesh
as the gears of a Rolls
Royce, the one seemingly the
inevitable measure of the
other. Nevertheless, in COM
petition after competition
within and without the Acad-
envy, the best director and
best picture have emerged as
total strangers.
Maturing, Not whitening
Still another intimation
that Hollywood is maturing
rather than whitening as the
doom dreamers report, is
that the spectacular ceremo-
niously mastered by Frank
Sinatra was less a family
affair. Mr.. Sinatra is not
precisely notorious as a SYM
boil of human dignity but, in
the main, he followed his in
buttons, or somebody's in
structions, to avoid intra-
mural jokes. In the era Of
comedian masters of ceremo-
MES, more flagrantly Jerry
Lewis than Bob Hope, the jol-
lily was directed more at the
audience in the Oscar cere-
mony theater than the mil
lions watching.
Some Of these latter were
flattered by the feeling of
being taken into the studio
commissary or the golf club
locker room. A great many
more felt there was something
tasteless and too time
consuming about the whole
thing.
Missed on Sophia
Except for explaining that
his ancestors came from
Italy, Sinatra stuck closely to

Drama Critic of The Star

There is also a journalism
of the absurd and one quite
as odd, at least fugitively, as
the theater Of the absurd.
One Of its larger, swampily
dull moments is that which
follows the annual Academy
Awards television spectacu-
lar. This one has to do with
the pro and anti people as
to whether it was a good
show. The truth that emerges
from 1t is that the debate is
always a bigger bore than
the show itself possibly could
have been.
Beyond the argument as to
whether the Oscar derby is
more jolly with or without
Bob Hope-and not to start
another argument "a free
man was permitted certain
thoughts about Monday
nights performance.
One of these was its init
nation that Hollywood. is
more somber and less in
clined to go berserk in behalf
of any single film. With
seven Oscars, Lawrence of
Arabia" was the big winner.

Hur's" IL, however, West
Side Story's" 10, and, away
back when, the 9 won by
"The Best Years Of Our
Lives"

This could imply more
thought on the part of the
$500 registered Academy
voters, and even an end to
that cycle which produced a
long series of runaway win
ners going all the way back
to the late '30s. Admirable,
If true.

Lloyd Recalls Golden Age

In spite Of the odds that were
against him, had determine
ton and generally fought his
way to the top or somehow
got out Of the predicament
he was IN.
In some pictures ] would
play a normal young man
who wasn't funny In him
self but could be funny by
timing and spacing and in
the way he did things.
Unlike Charlie. I played a
variety Of roles-a doctor. q
farmer boy. a hypochondriac.
etc. II wasn't how / looked,
but how I reacted that made
me funny.
Buster Keaton had great
training In vaudeville with
his family's act. He used TO
roll himself into q ball and
his father would throw him
all over the stage. even into
the orchestra pit. That's now
he got his hame. Buster. II
looked as II he would kill
himself, but he was q skilled
tumbler. He knew how TO
break his fall how TO relax
and be limp. This knowledge
helped all Of US, because we
took q great number Of falls.
Limiting Character
Buster, like Charlie, had
that sense OF timing and
spacing that is so important
10 comedians. He developed
the character Of the stone
face. II was q difficult char
acterization because you limit
yourself 10 a certain degree
II you never smile.
He gave himself a comic
appearance, as Charlie did.
But by limiting himself 10
the stony expression, he could
not have the wide range OF
pantomime that Charlie had.
Still. Busters body movement
was marvelously comic.
Harry Langdon was an
other product OF vaudeville. I
saw him doing an act called
"Johnny's New Car" and !
told Hal Roach that he would
make a good comic for films.
Hal went down to the Or
pheum In Los Angeles and
saw Harry. and he agreed.
But they had q difference Of
opinion-about 800 worth
and Harry went with another
producer and then landed
with 5ennett.
After q few pictures. Harry
came TO me and said. "Har-
old. I don't seem to be scor-
ing" I had seen his comedies
and I thought I knew why.

success. Unfortunately he
lacked the judgment TO decide
what he should and shouldn't
do. Later on he became his
own boss and. like many in
our business. he was more ut

the guiding light. He could
have been infinitely greater

else 10 direct his career.

Laurel and Hardy started
together in silent comedies
and reached their greatest
success In the talkies.

an illustration Of the variety
Of comedy in that era. I
place them more or less In
order Of their advent on the
Hollywood scene.
Charlie Chaplin, Of course,
was one Of the worlds great
pantomimists. He had a ire
mendous background Of
training In the English music
halls. This gave him a nat
ural bent for timing. for
spacing. and an innate knowl
edge Of comedy.
A Sure Instinct
Like all great comedians,
he had an instinct for what
Is right and Just how far he
could go. He worked on the
borderline between comedy
and tragedy. Some of his
themes could easily have
been dramas. But he pushed
them over TO the side OF
comedy.
The appeal Of his little
tramp had the feeling OF the
downtrodden man. the strug-
Cling little fellow whom no
body likes. He was the out
slider. That fit into a lot OF
other peoples lives and
gained him immense SYM
patty.
Charlie also developed
many mannerisms that
helped make the character
popular-the little walk. the
tricks with the cane and the
derby. his way OF going
around corners, etc. These
things we're not only clever
and comical. but ingenious In
their conception.
He had Q fine sense OF
comedy and surrounded him
self with good gag men. He
and I worked much the same
In that regard. The gag men
would come 10 us and throw
their ideas at US and we
would separate the wheat
from the chaff. We would
take their ideas intact or else
give them a twist Of our own.

HOLLYwOOD.-During the
past year. I have been hav-
ing the time Of my life intro
ducing my comedies TO a
brand-new generation. From
the Cannes Film Festival to
Bangkok. the reception has
been simply wonderful far
beyond my fondest dreams.
Everywhere I have shown

by that sweetest sound-hu-
man laughter. It has been
amazing to me that these
comedies. some OF them 40
years old. can still strike a
responsive note Of laughter
with audiences Of all ages in
all parts OF the world.
During my travels I have
been asked q lot Of questions
about comedy In those days
Of silent films and early
talkies. so I've had 10 do some
thinking about that period
In Hollywood history. II has
been called the golden age Of
comedy. and ! guess II was.
How did II come about?
One reason was that there
were schools in which come
dams could get their train
ing. First Of all. there were
vaudeville ana burlesque,
which spawned many great
comedians. Then the studios
themselves provided excellent
schools.
All Experimental
We had the sennett school,
the Roach school. the Chris
tie school and two or three
other studios which would
take minor comedians and
give them experience and
seasoning that could make
them stars. 30 the screen
was assured Of q steady
stream Of comedy talent.
The movies we're In their
infancy then. and we all we're
experimenting with the inf
mite opportunities that the
film medium offered for COM
edy. We were able 10 do
things that simply weren't
possible on the stage or In
circuses or any other medium.
Out Of that era came stars
who were popular and re-
vered. Many Of those silent
comedies are now considered
classics.
Four single comedians and
one team epitomize what was
the best Of the golden age Of
comedy. II might be interest,"

Between dreams are deeper per-
iods Of sleep when even these
lower centers are inactive.
Our night starts out by dis
missing rality from our minds
and by entering into a fantasy
or dream. Further dreams are
alternated with periods Of deep
sleep. During the early morn
ing the dreams get longer and
somewhat more realistic, until
finally it takes only a very
slight outside stimulus to bring
us back to total reality. We
are awake, and there is the
real sun once again shining in
through the window.
Many people have difficulty
going to sleep. There is a wide
spread opinion that we must blot
everything out of our minds be-
fore we can get to sleep. This is
not only untrue, but impossible.
Just put aside reality for a time
and send your mind off on
fantasy; visit the moon; be
king; count sheep; or grow those
melon-sized tomatoes. Soon your
fantasy will be a dream, and
you will be on your way into
tho nights journey.
Oh! incidentally, worms DO
sleep.
