Children in
Her Scenes
They Are Likely to Steal
Show, Actress Gives as Reason.
BY JOE COLLIER London movie writers believe Bette Davis displayed high intelligence when she remarked to newspaper interviewers there recently that .she did not like to appear in pictures with dogs or children. They are likely to steal the show, she is reported as saying.
. 1 London interviewers were delight- | amr | ed that Miss Davis, after saying the |
English lake region could not com- | pare with the American lake region, |
said she practically adored English |
beer. Variety,
especially British pictures. He said he would ‘rather stay in England where I don't have to fight against! Hollywood attempts to make me another Stepin Fetchit.”
: Study “Green Pasturees” | |
The paper reports that “The | Green Pastures” is = “giving our i Roman Catholic censorship decp | thought.” “Catholic sentiment in America,’ the paper says, ‘lis fairly well-dis-posed toward the films, and has re- | cently shown itself favorable in one Eritish colony, Trinidad. “It is possible the film may be | publicly shown-here, under special! conditions, such as those which prevail in regard fo films concerned with religious beliefs.” A Douglas Fairbanks Jr. film has | been postponed over there, because | there was no “suitably sunny | weather.” The Era praises highly the Fed- | eral Housing Administration of the | United States because, it says, it | has enabled many theaters to bring their equipment up to date.
Modernization Needed
More than 2000 houses in Eng- | Jand, the paper .says, are not modern and the movie industry, itself, opposes “reconstruction of the old.” The writer mentioned that it was “An odd race.” American movie-goers, one of the correspondents reports are “suckers for a new star,” and stormed a New York theater when Simone Simon (pronouncetl See-Mone See-Mone) the French actress, played there. Most of the paper's reviews of American mavies were of Western . films, and they were. accorded a + great deal of respect. That catches us up on our British Jooking-in, >

has been one of the foremost groups of puppet makers and manipulators
| in Europe and their present touring

Three Other Acts Other acts on the ‘hill will be Joe Morris and company, with a comedy turn entitled “Family Troubles of 1936,” Harry King and the Sinclair Twins, with a dancing presentation, and the radio foursome of Pappy.

Torn with mother love' and the loss of her child, she seeks to drown her anguish in a whirl of social activities. Her nerves are at the breaking point and an estrangement | seems imminent when a mutual friend of both couples arranges a

Recently he finished the costuming on “Dodsworth,” Samuel Goldwyn’s screen version of the Sidney Howard—Sinclair Lewis story, starring Walter Huston, with Ruth
