make twine right on the set And to make sure that realism is served, the studio has borrowed William Buckley, foreman of a similar mill at the Minnesota state prison. Buckley is a solidly built man of middle height, with a steely gray eye. He has been dealing with convicts for 27 years and he is full of anecdotes about them. .While we are on the set, he comes up to Director William Keighley and says: ‘‘Say, I remember something that ! you might be able to use in the picture.” Keighley asks what and Buckley tells us this story: ‘‘When convicts first arrive at prison, we ask them to give their trade—plumber, carpenter, mechanic, or whatever they are. ‘‘Well, one day, a fellow came in and said he was a linguist. ‘“A linguist?' the deputy fired back, ‘what is that?’ “‘I speak seven languages,’ replied the newcomer. “ ’Yeah,' snorted the deputy, ‘well, around here, we speak only one language—and darned little of that!’ ” Keighley is so pleased with the story that he calls the writers and has it put in the script. If you drive out to M-G-M and pay a visit to the “Sergeant Madden” set, you can listen to Wallie Beery spin yarns about his fat ther, Noah

Beery, the first, who was a policeman in Kansas City for more than 20 years. Wallie tells me this week: “You should have known my old man. I weigh 260 pounds. He weighed 280 and was over six

feet tall. They used to keep him in a district called ‘Hell's Half Acre.’ When the Republicans were in, he was a captain. When the Democrats were in, he was a patrolman. “He raised me and Noah and my brother, Willie, on a salary that was usually around SBO a month. And he pounded a lot of sense into us." After Wallie came to Hollywood and got rich in the movies, he brought his father out to the coast and told him he’d never have to work again. But the old man fretted himself nearly to death. Finally, Wallie went to a friend of his, the owner of a local iron works, and got his father a job. "They made the old man a watchman at the gate,” says Berry, i “After that, he was perfectly > happy. He was a cop again.”
