have happened in the movies, out "The Deep South” will have no last minute twist to save its hero. Norris is accused of the murder and is lynched. In her passionate attempt to clear his memory, Gloria Dickson gets nowhere. The picture ends on a bitter note of irony, without ever revealing who actually committed the murder. “I don't even know myself,'' says Le Roy. Then he goes out to tell Gloria Dickson, the star-to-be. how she can improve her first motion picture scene. In the Universal film, "As Good As Married”, the hero, John Boles, is an architect. This gave John Harkrider, set designer, a wonderful opportunity, and he has come through with a modernistic home, of which Universal is very proud. In fact, when we visit the company, this week, everybody brags more about the sets than they do about the story. He is at least a head shorter than Tala Birell and a head and a half shorter than John Boles and Walter Pidgeon. For years, he was an actor. Now he is a director, but he is still acting. During rehearsals, he plays every part in the picture—Boles', Pidgeon's, even Miss Birell's. When he gets around to the take, he is exhausted but happy. As he puts it himself, it is a ham's dream come true —every good line, every entrance, every exit is his. On the Twentieth Century lot Shirley Temple overshadows Jane Withers, but Jane is a popular star, too. This week, we watch them shoot a scene from her new picture, "Angel’s Holiday”. In the film, Jane is kidnaped by gangsters along with Sally Blane. Not so long ago real kidnap threats were sent to the parents of this young star, and a man is now under sentence of 25 years for writing them. "Angel's Holiday” was probably selected to capitalize on the headlines, though the studio wouldn’t admit it. Working in a gangster picture is a lot of fun to Jane—next, in fact, to being In a western. She isn't needed in any of the scenes we watch, but she is on the set just the same. We ask her why. "This Is an exciting story.” she explains, “I don't want to miss any of IL” _ J
