Chapter 33
\ \ ARIO raised his head, and his
yellow eyes were sad and
cold.
"You knew," he said; “you al
ways knew. You’ve always med
dled in my life, and it hasn’t mat
tered. You cooked well, you made
me comfortable, and I didn’t care.
Now you’ve started in on Joe.
You came to me in New York, de
serted, penniless, desperate, and
I’ve looked after you ever since,
and that brat of yours too, until
the police took her.”
" Padrone, padrone, it is true. I
owe you everything. I did not
know . . .”
“You knew. You’ve made mis
chief always, with any women
who came into my life, and now
apparently with Joe’s.” He put up
his hand and beckoned, as he
beckoned when he was working
on the set, and automatically An
thea stepped to his side. ‘Tay her
her wages,” he said, “up to date.
Give her fifty pounds. See her
papers are in order, and see she’s
out of this house before sunset
If she comes across my path
again, I won’t be responsible for
my actions.”
“ Padrone , where shall I go?"
"Go back where you came
from . . . the village near Flor
ence."
Bianca dropped on her knees
before him, and began to wheedle.
“But if your Joe and my Gina
are married, then ..Mario rose,
white-faced and terrible.
“If that little devil ever comes
into my house. I’ll \\-ring her neck
as I should have done when she
was a child.”
Noisily sobbing, Bianca took
the money from Anthea, and went
shuffling down the stairs and out
of the door. Anthea watched her
go down the drive . . . twenty
years of Mario’s life going with
her. Anthea went slowly back to
NEW-DIMENSIONAL FILMS
Second Revolution In 50 Years Hits Movies
By 808 THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD tfi-The man with
the biggest headache in Hollywood
is a genial German - American
named Henry Koster.
Until a week ago, Koster looked
with satisfaction toward his next
directing assignment, “The Robe.”
True, it was a massive, four mil
lion dollar epic involving great sets
and a huge cast. But he was skilled
in his craft and was prepared to
meet whatever problems arose.'
Then the storm broke. His studio,
20th Century-Fox, announced it
would make no more flat-screen
pictures. It was converting to the
huge, curved-screen cinemascope.
The first film under the new-di
mensional method would be "The
Robe.”
When I saw Koster in his Grant
Wood-decorated office, he seemed
harrassed but happy.
"Before this happened, 1 was too
content,” he admitted. "I thought
I knew exactly how to make a
picture—what lenses to use, how to
place the actors, when to use a
doseup, etc.
“Now I’m a pioneer. It’s good
for me. It’s exciting to learn a
whole new way to make a picture.”
He showed off his new finder,
through which he peers to envision
movie scenes. It ns much broader
than the usual proportions of a
movie screen.
"That’s how it will look,” he
said. “The screen will oe ei .n
broader than the scope of a theater
stage. That means there will be
less work for the cutter. Seems
will probably not have closems
and be chopped up. It will be Ike
filming short scenes from a pla
We will have to focus attention 03
certain faces by means of lightii •
or dialogue, the same as it is don
on the stage.
“Cinemascope will mean this—
you can have a line of dancin?
Rockettes on the screen and see
each face as if ui a closeup.”
He added that the script of “The
Robe” hasn't been changed, but
some of the sets have. They must
be built wider and lower, to ac-|
comodatc the wide angle lens.
“The Robe” will hit the km#-
size screens in October, when 20th-
Fox hopes that several thousand
theaters in the U. S will be so
equipped. Then we'll find out
whether Hollywood's revolution is
going to succeed.
The studio is virtually staking
its entire future that big screen
movies wdt bra success Said Vice
President Ai l-ichtmju “We prr
diet that this will be the shot in
the arm that the movie industry
needs W> feel that within a couple
the terrace. Mario was sitting at
the table, his head in his hands.
She said in a small voice, “Just
as well I didn’t take the cross.”
“Do not be unkind.” He
thumped the table. “It is not
true. It is some mistake. He will
come back. It is you whom he
loves. I could see it only today
in his eyes. A man cannot be like
that to two women.”
“Joe is young too.”
“I’ll still work for you, Mario,"
she faltered. “I wanted the job,
and I like it I promise I’ll stay.
And I think Joe will bring her
back to London in time. It’s going
to be hard, then, Mario, for
me ... I mean hard to meet him
and her. I’m glad I’ll be home,
anyway. . . .”
He took her hand, and said,
"Anthea, I’ll send these people
away. You are too sad."
Anthea drew a deep breath.
There was a real, tearing, physi
cal pain in her breast, like a knife
wound, and her head had begun
to thump behind her eyes. Per
haps it was all the tears she was
holding dammed up there. “No,"
she said, “we’ll give our party.
It is a little unfortunate that the
star has been called away, and
Joe has taken her to wherever it
is she wants to go, but we’U give
our party just the same.”
Mario said with tears in his
voice, "you wouldn’t like to
marry me, Anthea? I am old and
very silly, but if you’d like*
to . . ."
Anthea smiled, the smile a
little difficult, a little forced, but
amusement touched her pain
darkened eyes. She patted his
hand again, gently. “No. You’ve
done enough marrying in your
time, Papa Mario, but—thank you
very much, all the same."
¥OE drove the big hired Packard
J along the main road toward
Toulon, the westerning sun in his
of years thousands of theaters In
this country and throughout the
world will be equipped for Cine
mascope.”
The reason Hollywood needs a
shot in the arm, of course, is tele
vision. And television isn’t going to
just sit back and let movies grab
3-D. Producer Henry Donovan of
Telemount - Mutual Productions
says he has perfected a process
for television and soon will film 13
pictures in the new dimension.
Home viewers will need special
glasses, Donovan added.
But back to Lichtman, and the
movie outlook:
He said that for the present,
pictures of bigger scope will be
filmed in the medium. Hus would
give priority to Westerns, adven
ture films and musicals. Dramas
and comedies will probably suffer
while the film makers learn how
to treat them in the new tech
niques. Lichtman also foresaw that
Hollywood could make fewer pic
tures, since films would have more
playing time.
The movie pioneer lived through

"The transition is much easier,’*
he remarked. "When sound cams
in, there was much opposition to

"But today everyone in the in
