By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. 10SG. King Feature* Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD — The routine Francis Lederer goes through on the "One Rainy Afternoon'' set makes him tops among Hollywood’s superstitious folk, and

is causing him to be ribbed plenty by his assoc lat es. The Czecho - Slovakian star enters the stage and follows a course to the left all the way around the set. touching each wall. He always hides a piece of wood when he comes

in and retrieves it when he leaves. Before he goes before the camera, he retires to a corner and has his valet go through a mysterious hokus-poeus, after which the star appears to kiss a rabbit's foot. Whenever a piece of glass or china Is broken, he always stuffs a fragment into his pocket, which he saves. His collection of broken pieces of glass Is said to run into hundreds. Since the start of the picture, the rlbbers have Introduced him to the American superstition about walking under a ladder and now he has that to worry about. The preview of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" won unanimous p aise from the correspondents and from the Hollywood members of the audience, who pronounced It the first satisfactory color film. Aside from a few too-blue shots of the sky and of a lake, the natural shades evoked enthusiasm In all. Douglas Fairbanks, who attended the preview, is so keen that he told me he may now use technicolor in "Marco Polo”. Which Is the first good word he has had to say for It since his disappointing venture In "The Black Pirate". I had a talk with young Doug, too, about his producing plans. How like his father he grows—the same way of pacing up and down as he talks. He says what Interests him most in England right now is that It Is like Hollywood of 15 years ago. The Individual producer has not yet been swallowed up by the machine. Doug, Jr., is anxious to get over to the American people that he is not snubbing this country. His company, he says. Is Anglo-American, with more than halt of the capital coming

The meeting cloned with the Lord's prayer.

COMPROMISE IS ( oCc>S’TlN'l’i:i> I KO.M I'A'Ji: ONE) I tell HomethTng of their groat quesI lion: Was the coup in itself iibor- , tlve to mean u victory for the civilian liberals or for the army men who at any moment are glad to offer their lives for their ideal, the country's traditions? I The compromise, and Its release of the news to the rebels’ captured centers, showed that the men of tlie third infantry regiment of the first division, which partlcipal cd in the revolt, had done their work efficiently. The places which they held, the ’ premier’s residence, the general staff property, and the new diet grounds, are in the center of the ' city's heart across the moat from thte emperor’s imperial castle. The American embassy is just to the I south. As the compromise was reached, three groups of leaders were considering the situation—army and navy officers of highest rank; the civilian political figures who for centuries have been locked in a , fight with them for supremacy in i ' administration: and royal princes . who met with Etnperor Hirohito •' at his palace. o Albert B.
