A week ago. the papera carried an item about an American pilot being dunned for the support of a (Chinese girl whom he had raacued from drowning. According to a native belief, that made him responsible for her until she married. The same night, R-K-O announced a picture. "An Old Chinese Custom." It is based on a similar situation. Bartlett Cormack is r<o.v writing the screen play and the studio already Is trying to get the Chine** movie favorite. Butterfly Wu. to play the Oriental heroine. After making teat*. Warner* have Recu'ed that Pat O'Brien won't look well nn the screen if he reduces to 180 pounds, the origi- | nsl goal set for the early scenes in 'The Life of Knute Rockne." In fact, the studio believe* that Pat ha* kxrt too much weight already, and has told him It will be all right to put on a few pound* and play ! the role at 173. Pat ian’t the only one who ha* had to diet for the Rockne picture. Gail Page, who'll be Mra Rockne, wa* told to lose 15 pound*. Understand there'll he great secrecy about the plot of Frank Capra s The Life of John Doe' . . . that no synopses are to lie given out and that the cast will be requested not to reveal the story. Reason Is Capra and Riskin plan a number of innovation* in this ; film based on an Idea by Richard . Connell. Maybe you haven't heard of an organisation known as ••Citixenshlp Panegyric* " but you will. Edward Arnold is chairman of the executive committee and he'll make the trip to Washington to promote the Idea, which la the Instruction of American* in their duties as good citigen*.
