of office and surrounded by his courtiers. This is not an error of ignorance, but a deliberate one. It serves the purpose of the story better and, as Director William Keighley points out, is a less serious lapse from the truth than when Charles Laughton played the king as a clown. Montagu Love is the Henry of this story. Mr. Love is becoming famous for portraying important personages in English history. At another studio, he just finished playing Gladstone. Today, he is wearing a costume weighing 150 pounds. He looks like a king. The courtiers are impressive, too. Warners are paying from $l5O to S2OO for the rent of each of their costumes. Before Henry dies, he makes a long speech denouncing the court. Love goes through it the first time without a slip. As he lies slumped back on the throne, the extras break into applause. It is a tribute Mr. Love can be proud of. I haven’t seen it happen more than half a dozen times in Hollywood. Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea are playing opposite each

other again in ‘‘lnternes Can’t Take Money”. They were married in “Gambling Lady” and in “Banjo on My Kn e e”. Now, they’ve gone back and are only sweethearts. This set is a contrast from the pageantry of “The Prince and the Pauper”.

It is the Inside of a shack and both Barbara and Joel are cheaply dressed. They are supposed to eat a meal of hot dogs as they talk. It is quite a long scene, and It is a jonah scene. They tried to take it several days before and Joel, ill with the flu, folded up before they could finish. He’s just back and, today, everybody is nervous. Barbara Stanwyck calls to Di- ’ rector Al Santell: "Come on, Daddy Dear, let’s take it." They do. It goes through without a hitch. Then somebody says: “Wait a minute. Wasn’t Bar- . bara supposed to be wearing a . bandage on her wrist?” i There is a pause as the truth ■ sii.ks in. i Then, refdgnedly, they prepare to i take It again.

Forecasts threatened one, of thel most complete inundations of Posey county lowlands since the flood of 1913 but no towns were in danger. Telephone service still was disrupted as result of the sleet storm but electric current had been partially restored. o U. S. Steel Will Expand Industry ' Pittsburgh Jan. 16 —(UP) —U.
