UNGUARDED HOUR' BRINGS NEW ROMANTIC TEAM TO LOEW'S

Miss Young, Tone Share Lead Honor

Picture Is Actress’ First Since Long Vacation, Rumored Illness. “The Unguarded Hour” which open* at Loews tomorrow, marks the appearance of anew romantic team in Loretta Young and Franchot. Tone, as well as Miss Youngs return to the screen after a six ‘months’ rest. Mr. Tone, after his success In “Mutiny on the Bounty” and as a reporter in “Exclusive Story,” has the role of an English barrister in a story said to be of the “Thin Man" order. “The Unguarded Hour” is based on Bernard Merivale’s translation of the successful stage play of the same title by Ladislaus Fodor. During the filming of the picture, Miss Young quieted the many conflicting and startling rumors concerning her serious illness with the statement that she had not been ill at all. “You see, contrary to opinion,” the blond star explained, “acting is hard work, particularly screen acting. And. if you're getting along, it’s pretty continuous. It was the first real rest I had ever taken since 1 began.” Uses Memorising Trick Miss Young said that since her vacation, she is learning her lines as if they were jingles. Her memorizing is aided by a method made popular by Nelson Eddy. Each night after dinner she studies her script for the next day’s scenes, then speaks the lines into the microphone of a recording phonograph. Just before going on the set the following day she plays back the record, studying and correcting each inflection and nuance. The method is praised by directors as a valuable and time saving. Loew s second picture on Friday’s double-feature program is “Roaming Lady,” an action picture af aviation which stars Fay Wray and Ralph Bellamy. Cramer to Present Student in Concert Miss Betty McShirley, advanced student of Bomar Cramer at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory cf Music, is to be presented in a piano recital in Odeon Hall at 8:30 tonight.

DARK TRAGEDY LURKS ON MOVIE LOT-BUT IT'S FUN

BY RUTH M’TAMMANY Times Hollywood Correspondent. HOLLYWOOD. May 14.—0n a hill-top in Calabasas. Cal., is a large British garrison. It stands out in relief against a background of rugged, mountainous country. The location is supposed to be at Chucoti, on the northern boundary of India; the time, 1850; the picture, “Charge of the

Light Brigade.” The sun beats down on a high wall which surrounds a number of buildings—barracks, stables, native huts, and the commandant's headquarters. It beats down on hundreds of uniformed men, rtative women and barking dogs. On the wall, near the high gates of the garrison, Michael Curtis is putting his soldiers through a “defense action” scene. The garrison is being attacked. The soldiers run up the tower steps. They scurry along the wall. They fire. And the antiquated cannons boom out to the mountains beyond. A lone man is hit by an enemy bullet as he mounts the top step leading to the tower. He falls, a sensational drop through mid-air and crashes with a loud thud on the lower step. After three rehearsals the scene is taken. The lone man picks himself up from his fourth fall, lights a cigaret and walks away. The voice of an assistant comes over the loud speaker calling for another scene, a rush of soldiers on the wall and a frantic exit from the huts, of native women and children. It is rehearsed and screaming women, gathering up their children, dashthrough the blistering heat of the garrison. The voice on the loud speaker says: “Too much screaming, only scream twice.” They rehearse again. No one yelled. The scene was flat. An assistant in charge of the native women picks out one swarthy girl in bright red drapes. “Are you the one with the loud scream?” “I guess I am. Do you want to hear it?” “Go ahead.” Louder than the 1850 cannons is

the horrible shriek which echoes over the remote hills. “Stop, Stop! Listen, you other women. First run, don't yell—and you with the red dress, you scream just twice, understand, just twice .. . that will be plenty. Lunch! A large transplanted oak tree offers the only shade and beneath it an interesting group sit down to lunch. Errol Flynn, star of the production, sinks into a chair. He has been leading his men in the action on the wall. His uniform is heavy. He has been working in the hot sun since early morning. But he does not complain—not Errol Flynn who likes the story and his part in it. "I die near the end of the picture.” he says, “but I am already dead. I passed away last week. They took that sequence on another location. There is going to be a horrible massacre here at the garrison but thank heavens, Miss De Havilland and I are going to escape. lam enjoying it all. If you like adventure as I do it is quite simple to imagine this whole tragedy real.” Olivia Fears the Worst Olivia de Havilland plays the commandant’s daughter in the story. Donald Crisp plays the commandant. She began the day at 5 o’clock. “I was all made up at 6 o’clock this morning,” she said, “but I haven’t played a scene yet. I believe Mr. Curtis is waiting for just the right light on the arches of the commandant’s headquarters. I don’t mind what is happening today but I am worrying a little about the

I believe Errol and I have to cross a river in making our escape and that is going to be difficult. There are yards and yards of material in my costumes and several equally wide petticoats. I am wondering how I am going to get across the river without being w-ater logged in midstream. I hope Mr. Curtis and Errol have it all figured out. What experiences I am having! An ocepn voyage in ‘Captain Blood.’ From Bonnyfeathers’ court yard by the sea to Napoleon’s court in ‘Anthony Adverse’ and now India—and not out of California.” „ Lunch is fiesta time on the set. A group of Hindu soldiers by day and Mexican case entertainers by night at the stone flagpole base with their guitars and mandolins. The leader, a good looking boy perhaps, without his makeup of heavy beard, launches into a plaintive melody, singing as he plays. British soldiers, Hindu men, heads turbaned and fingers ringed, rush to the flagpole. Women and children, all present a colorful picture out of mysterious India as they stand silently in the brilliant sun, listening.
