if You’d See Stars, Just Hang Around the Food
Studio Restaurant Proves the Spot to See Famed Faces
And Talk to Producer Frank Lloyd.
.
By JAY CARMODY.
Hollywood, May ie —studio
commissaries', or restaurants
if one prefers, are among the
most fascinating spots in
.Hollywood. Look up from your min
ute steak and com saute in any one
iof them and you can see the faces
,that daily launch a billion reveries
and dreams.
At Paramount, for instance, there
,1s Dorothy Lamour, the swarthy,
’shapely lass who turned life into a
jsarong-draped idyll for more Amer
icans probably than voted for Roose
velt. Down the line a few tables
away sits Franciska Gaal, a blond pint
of smouldering fire to whom Heaven
gave the gift of too much tempera
ment or to whom the studio gave too
much publicity for her own current
good.
Of males who flutter the Nation's
heart, one sees Bing Crosby, who looks
as intense and self-conscious as a
sleeping mongrel pup; Ray Milland,
the young Irishman, who apparently
survived that 12-reel fate worse than
death, “Her Jungle Love”; John Bar
rymore, David Niven and a dozen
others whom Adonis might shoot in
an envious rage.
There was even a platinum blond
angel, whom no one seemed to know,
nor apparently cared to know* in spite
of the fact that she was doing more
tricks with her eyes than Carl Hubbell
can do with a baseball.
But none of these, including the
platinum angel with the rolling eyes,
excited the least bit of interest. The
air of excitement hanging over the
room was caused by a bushy-browed,
stooped man of midlle age, whose
pulchritude quotient is as low as his
Intelligence quotient is high. The man
was Frank Lloyd, ace producer-direc
tor, who has lived through several
ages of stars—stars such as those
which illuminated the commissary at
that particular moment.
Mr. Lloyd, who was born in Scot
land and looks not too much unlike
one of its shrewd and gentle sheep
dogs, was the object of interest because
he is about to start Paramount's next
big epic, “If I Were King.” And,
whereas every one else seems very
Intense about it, Mr. Lloyd could not
be more calm if he were going out
to pick a bouquet of violets.
Only time he showed the least trace
Of emotion about the whole affair was
when he talked about the acquisition
of C. V. France, veteran English actor,
to play the part of the priest. It was
the hardest character of the picture
to cast, the director says. In setting
It, he thought of practically all the
actors in the world, finally came to the
conclusion that the ideal player was

Mr. Prance. He hired him and. despite
the fact that he is proud to have
Ronald Colman, Basil Rathbone,
William Haade and a number of other
prominent players, he regards the ac
quisition of France as his masterpiece.
While the negotiations were in
progress for the services of the elderly
Englishman, Mr. Lloyd did not know
it but Somerset Maugham's latest
book, "The Summing Up," was con
firming his judgment all the time.
That autobiographical work dealing
with Maugham's long association with
the stage and players pauses to men
tion but one actor by name and to
j set the name in the midst of glowingly
! complimentary words. It is the name
of C. V. France, of course.
Another thing Mr. Lloyd has to talk
about, quite as if you were an old
friend of his, is a new method to be
used in the making of "If I Were
King."
Hollywood, even more than a lot of
other places, feels that cost cutting
is a very important thing in the world
as it is going today. Accordingly,
this big picture is not going to be
made, as so many have been, with
the idea that it will be all right at the
end to leave a 90 per cent excess on
the cutting room floor. It is Mr.
Lloyd's theory that proper preparation
British Film
Filled with
Suspense
Hitchcock Manner
Marks ‘The Girl
Was Young.’
THE old master of suspense Is at
It again, and at it very handily,
too. The newest contribution
of Great Britain’s Mr. Alfred
| Hitchcock, “The Girl Was Young."
the Belasco's new film attraction, is
fabricated from a good many of those
same elements which made his “39
Steps" and other pictures the successes
they were.
Mr. Hitchcock is one director who
can take a trite script, and by his
expert handling of players and cam
eras turn it into something worth
watching. Here he has undertaken to
tell the story of a lad suspected of
murder, his escape and escapades with
the chief constable’s daughter while
trying to find the evidence which will
clear him. It could have been pretty
dreary stuff, and one or two times it is.
But it is not dreary very often. Most
of the time it is taut and suspenseful
and Mr. Hitchcock has welded his
well known and highly appreciated
change of pace with the utmost skill.
“The Girl Was Young” may seem a
bit too slow in some of its romantic
and less thrilling sequences, but the
moments when it does drag make only
for better contrast w'ith the brisk and
melodramatic cops-and-robbers chases.
And this Hitchcock fellow is probably
the only director in the world who
can lay out a dramatic sequence so
full of suspense that it hurts and drag
it on and on until you are ready to yell.
“The Girl Was Young” has its com
edy moments, too, to add some more
counterpoint to the melodrama of it.
And it is a well-performed film, with
Nova Pilbeam in the leading role
showing she has not forgotten how to
act while she has been about the
business of growing up. She's in
tensely sincere and convincing about
99 per cent of the time, though we did
think she had one or two uncomfort
able moments and if that be mutiny
make the most of it. Fellow named
Derrick de Mamey plays the male
lead much more than just capably
and the others are able Britons whose
names probably wouldn’t mean a thing
to ydu. * H. M.

will eliminate a lot of expense in the
editing of the film before Washington
and other audiences get a chance to
see it.
To this end, 12 weeks Of intelligence
and energy went into the prepara
tion of the working script after the
so-called final script was delivered.
In spite of the elaborate prepara
tions. one discovers that it is not with
out trepidation that a studio enters
upon the production of a film of such
stature. “If I Were King” falls into
the category of costume pictures, and
that type dees not always create a
frenzy of excitement on the part of
the customers. There is a cycle of
them starting, however, among them
"Robin Hood,” which may be at the
Earle right at this moment (and again
it may not—Ed.). That one has at
tracted no end of interest, which helps
Paramount’s confidence. Also helping
it is the fact that Mr. Lloyd did right
well with “Wells Fargo,” that he cre
ated one of the four big money earners
of all time in "Cavalcade,” and that
he has a positive scad of other suc
; cesses to his credit.

! \ FTER Mr. Lloyd goes away from
one’s table one encounters Ted
Lesser. Mr. Lesser is a Washington
i boy, was one at any rate, who Is now
■
In charge of Paramount’s talent de
partment. He will not talk about
talent, however. Wants to talk about
Washington, when he was an assistant
at Keith’s under Roland Robbins. At
this point the reunion is expanded
to Include Don King (Vesta Cum
mings please note), who worked at
Keith's at the same time. They have
been working together at Paramount
for some time. Mr. King In the pub
licity department, and each has
thought the other's face and name
were familiar. They did not think
to compare pasts, however, until
Washington was brought up as a
much more interesting subject, to
them, than Hollywood.
Mr. Lesser was chagrined to learn
that Central High School Is not win
ning all the athletic championships, as
It did when he was a boy, learning
how to be a successful Paramount
talent director.

HERE are one or two things abo

events and episodes depicted on the st
the members of the cast represent act

to say are not the Inventions of an

things the characters represented have
said or written.
In the Civic Theater’s production
of ", . . orie third of a nation . .
there will be no attempt to have the
players speak or look like the persons
they represent, because Mr. Strickland
points out that an imitation on the
stage always looks like a caricature
and it is not the intent of the Living
Newspaper or the Civic Theater to
ridicule any one. The sole emphasis
is on accuracy, both in the duplication
of the events depicted and in the spirit
in which the material is presented.
The editors of . . one third of a
nation . . (note that it is editors
and not writers) have sprinkled the
script with footnoes and the bibli
ography runs into three pages. Chief
pride is that any statement made in
the play can be proved.
A Living Newspaper, being con
temporary, is in need of constant
script revision that it may be '’news”

Starlet Brings Flowers
To Show What Speed Is
Paramount’s Marion Weldon Also
Brings an Airplane for
Mr. Jim Farley.
By HARRY Mac ARTHUR.
THE most excited person at Washington Airport yesterday morning when
Marion Weldon flew In to add Paramount’s bit to the celebration of
National Aairmall Week was Marion Weldon. The starlet, for whom her
studio Is reported to have high hopes, was having one of the thrills of
her young life, stepping from the plane to face an Imposing array of news
cameras, being greeted by a notable reception committee.
On hand were Senator McAdoo of her home State, Harlee Branch, Second
Assistant Postmaster General; Amorose*
O’Connell, executive assistant to the
Postmaster General, and his handsome
daughter Jean. For Miss Weldon
brought with her a 2-foot scale
model of the old De Haviland planes
which flew the mail a pair of decades
ago, to be presented to Postmaster
General Farley; brought with her also
a tree, the name of which we forget.
Anyhow it is some sort of an evergreen,
for which Altadena, Calif., is famed
and which is sent by the Altadena
Chamber of Commerce to be planted
as a memorial to the airmail pilots.
It will be the only one of its kind in
town. '
Miss Weldon brought other things,
too, enough other things that her
handful of baggage checks when she
landed looked like a deck of cards.
She brought, for instance, greetings
from Adolph Zukor and Terry De Lapp,
Paramount’s publicity chief, by way
of flowers for the drama press, just
to show Paramount has no hard feel
ings about any of the things which
may have been said about a couple
of those musicals that slipped. So
yesterday the local “cricks” were deco
rated with fresh posies which were
abloom on their plants Saturday aft
ernoon in California, a matter of speed
which awed us every time we stopped
to think about It. That white bouton
niere adorning the lapel of the Carl
ton’s Frank Swadley yesterday aft
ernoon was one of them, too. ^
Marion (after riding all over town
yesterday morning and then break
fasting in the Swadley apartment with
her she probably won’t mind a small
touch of familiarity like that) brought
also a tremendous enthusiasm for the
Nation's Capital on her first visit.
Thrilled as any contest winner sent
to Washington was Marion on that
ride to deliver the flowers, when she
was shown the Capitol, the White
House, the Monument and the views
from here and there.
It’s a sort of Infectious enthusiasm,
too, and you begin liking the young
lady right away, go on liking her more
and more and end up full of good
wishes for her picture career. She
photographs like a million dollars
even for news cameras, gadgets
which are noted for being more honest j
than flattering. Her current film :
chore Is her fourth, a role in “Men
With Wings.” the Paramount aviation j
epic, which we can recommend right ,
Little Has Comedy
And Timely Item.
'T'HE Little Theater now scoops the
A town once more in bringing cine
ma fans timely features having to do
with this world we live in. Main item
on the revival house’s bill this week is
no revival, but the much-discussed
featurette. "China Strikes Back,” the
pictorial item or current history de
voted to the doings of China's famed
8th Route Army, the Communist out
fit which swung into action and came
to the Chinese government's aid.
The other half of the Little's pro
gram is something of a contrast. It
is, in fact, complete contrast, for re
vived again you will find "Ruggles of
Red Cap,” which was one of the best
entertainments of its time, or any ;
other time for that matter. You !
haven't forgotten Mr. Charles Laugh- |
ton, of course, in his memorable reci
tation of Lincoln's Gettysburg address
and in his hilarious comic moments.
You also should remember Charles
Ruggles, Mary Boland, Roland Young
and Zasu Pitts, among other people
about.
We still think Mr. Laughton in that
riding outfit is one of the unrivaled
wonders of the world. H. M.
Melodrama to Open
A Varied Season
At Roadside.
VlfHEN Sweeney Todd commits his
” dastardly crimes on the stage
of the Roadside Theater, June 13. he
starts the ball rolling for a 14-week
season of action, drama, mystery, ro
mance, bloodshed, comedy, intrigue,
and naturally a great deal of melo
drama, in the hayloft of the old red
bam on the Rockville pike. Prom
June 13 to 25 "Sweeney Todd” or
"The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”
will be the attraction.
Another play by Tom Taylor, whose
"Our American Cousin” was a last
season hit, is second on the sched
ule. playing June 27-July 9. It is
"Plot and Passion,” a melodramatic
tale of the intrigues of Fouche, head
of Napoleon’s secret police. After a
month of chills and thrills the barn
theater players will offer W. S. Gil
bert’s non-musical farce, "Engaged,”
July 11-23.
It’s back to melodrama of the "To
Die at Dawn and “Among the Moon
shiners" type, with the fourth offer
ing “The Miner's Daughter” or “The
Fatal Confession.” Here are melo
drama’s favorite characters, the beau
tiful heroine, the noble hero, the self
sacrificing parents and the villain
who holds the “papeh.” July 25
August 6 is the run. The sensational
English hit, “The Frog,” will be on
the boards from August 8-20. Ian
Hay’s dramatization of Edgar Hay’s
dramatization of Edgar Wallace’s sus
pense-crammed mystery thriller makes
its American debut with the Road
side’s production.
The popularity of Augustus Thomas’
famous old “State” dramas, “Arizona”
and “In Mizzoura,” made the pres
entation of the equally notable "Ala
bama” a must for this summer. The
march of the Iron Horse in the
South, a widow threatened with dis
honor, tangled romances and the
color of Dixie, combined to make this
one of the favorite plays of the ’90s.
The Roadside revival is August 22
September 3.
The season’s climax comes with the
final offering, “Eugene Aram.” Based
on actual criminal records as was
“Murder in the Red Bam,” this tale
has the same elements that made
that ancient meller the Roadside's
A-l hit. September 5-17 are the
nights.

>
now Just for Marion’s eyes in techni
color.
Mias Weldon, bom in Duluth, was
taken to California when something
like 3 years old, not to be a film
moppet, but to be a little girl growing
up. She is headed for the stage, or
was headed for it by way of little
theaters, with no interest in pictures.
But one day she accompanied a girl
friend who was being interviewed for
a screen test, the cinema mogul cast
an appraising glance at the blond
Miss Weldon and forgot the girl
friend. And it is our guess that you
will become more and more familiar
with Marion’s face on the screen as
time goes on.
* * * #
Tk/IISS WELDON, of course, is not
the only one of the cinema’s
people you quite possibly might run
into on P street today. There’s that
fine Irish family which has taken
over room 305 at the Capitol Thea
ter. Room 305 is the one with the
telephone, even if it doesn’t have a
star on the door, and this week it is
occupied by the Phil Regan entourage,
Mr. and Mrs. and daughters Joan
Ann and Marilyn. These two charm
ing lassies are having a fine time on
this trip about the country with pop.
They were a bit worried when they
first saw the head man on the stage,
though, having seen that film where
a singer was pelted with tomatoes. No
tomatoes were tossed at Mr. Regan,
however, so now the girls worry no
more, content themselves with sitting
out front at every show and applaud
ing as loudly as they can.
Phil is having a fine time on his
trip, too. He is a fellow who gets
pretty tired of doing his singing into
a black box for apathetic studio tech
nicians and every once in a while he
has to break away from the movie
mills to sing to some real people.
Not that studio craftsmen are not
real people, but they are never so
enthusiastic as the audiences Mr.
Regan finds in vaudeville houses. Phil
likes people, too, has to have them
around. And people like him, so it
makes his personal appearance jaunts
completely pleasant affairs.
Another thing about which Mr.
Regan is happy at the moment is that
he is a free man as of yesterday. May
15. As of yesterday his legal troubles
are at an end. and he no longer is
tied to an unsatisfactory movie con
tract, is free for other offers.
