HOLLYWOOD, July
'Faust’ Heads Final Bill,
Noted Conductor Always Worried About Dignity On Film Set.
By PAUL HARRISON
HOLLYWOOD; July 29. (NEA).—Deanna Durbin, Leopold Stokowski and about 110 others are working in a picture called “100 Men and a Girl.” The director is Henry Koster, who scored a surprise sensation with “Three Smart Girls,” Miss Durbin's first feature. That one was made with unknowns, but this flicker is topped by celebrities. Mr. Koster has his hands full. Bossing Stokowski is a job that few people would care to attempt. When the maestro decides how a thing should or should not be done, his mind is not likely to be changed by any director, producer, writer or studio overlord. After all, the famous conductor is playing himself in this picture, and who is there to tell Stokowski how to act like Stokowski? Everyone knows that Stokowski is a consummate showman in his world of music. Before a camera, though, he stiffens, worries about his dignity. He and Koster have arguments about lines and gags which are intended as humanizing touches. But Stokowski always wins. I watched him in several scenes. One is supposed to be in his studio, and it is a luxuriously furnished room. Stokowski raised Cain about that set because his own studios, wherever he lives, are small and very plain. “Workshops,” he calls them, His new home and workshop here in Hollywood is so unpretentious that only an established celebrity could afford to be seen living in it.

Miss Durbin enters and interrupts | |anna is more shy than almost any
him, (8he has come to try to persuade him to conduct an orchestra of 100 unemployed musicians, and that’s what the story is about.) He scarcely can suppress a shudder as he plays, because it is a gpavined old instrument used for dressing sets and not for music. The music will be recorded later, on a fine piano, and dubbea in. I hear that scheme for recording treble, intermediate range and bass on three separate sound tracks, so that when they're put together he’ll sound like three people playing one instrument. Stokowski is in Hollywood, and will spend much of his time here, because he is convinced that the
greatest number of people.

Plays on Set
She plays games on the set, speaks like a girl of 14, and dresses in short skirts and socks. Yet she shows a lively interest in details of the picture, offers suggestions to the director, and displays a well-devel-oped temperament.
The other day Koster asked her to
stop eating licorice. She refused, saying, “I'm speaking my lines all right, and this is just a rehearsal.” He shouted to the electrician: “Turn out all the lights until Miss Durbin finishes her candy!” took out the licorice then, and apologized. Mrs. Mary West, Deanna’s schoolteacher, believes almost everyone with great musical talent is temperamental. “Deanna certainly is, anyway,” she said. “She gets very angry sometimes, and often very low in spirits. I do my best to pep her
up. “I've been teaching in studios 12

HOLLYWOOD, July 20.-~Mury Dees, the late Jean Harlow’s double and the girl who finished up Miss Harlow’s last picture, “Saratoga,” after the blond star’s death, will be married to Hyman Fink, Hollywood movie cameraman, she said today. The one-time extra girl won a seven-year film contract because
of her work in “Saratoga.”
Clark Gable, who was Miss Harlow’s lead-
ing man in the picture, suggested Miss Dees for the role.

ERECT RITHM
California State Liquor Control Board is making it tough for motion picture property men. Prop men, you see, collect empty wine, whisky and beer bottles and 'the liquor board has decreed, under penalty of imprisonment and fine, that all dealers and barkeepers must destroy all empties. Pat Patterson, property man on “Tovarich,” was particularly distressed by the edict. One sequence of the picture called for 2000 bottles and Patterson had to use all his ingenuity to find them.
Most of the bottles needed for “Tovarich” are wine, beer and liquor bottles, because the picture is laid in Paris and the French aren't whisky drinkers. Out of the 2000 bottles there are not more than 40 flagons. There are lots of bottles in the property department, but whisky flasks predominate. Patterson had to visit hundreds of junk shops and restaurants to fill his needs. The hardest ones to find were absinthe and Pernod bottles. Good champagne bottles were also hard to find. Foreign beer bottles, Patterson
