for the New LAST DAY

The announcement brought al rush of protests from Mr. Goldwyn's more timid associates, who said that such a film would ruin the Amer- | ican movie business in Germany. | Other officials said that he already | had stirred up enough trouble with his one-man campaign against double features. He was begged to stick to the American Civil War if he wanted to do a picture with an historical background. “So I had to tell 'em I knew what I was doing,” Mr. Goldwyn said. “1 had to tell 'em I was making no propaganda picture. “I'm not taking sides against Mr. Hitler. Officially, I am not interested in what he does, but dramatically I am. When these fellows came to me and said I should make no such picture I had to ask: * “Why should Sam Goldwyn wait 200 years to make a picture of the most dramatic thing that's happened in this generation?’ “Its history. It's happening. I'm not trying to antagonize Germany, but this exiling of great minds is the most dramatic, exciting, momentous thing I ever heard of. It! will make great entertainment. hat's all I'm interested in.” Mr. Goldwyn said he did not believe that any kind of film he made would cause him to lose business in Germany.

“They haven't let me show a film | of mine over there in five years, he said. “I don't know why. They | Just won't. “So all I'm after is a picture | which will entertain audiences in | the United States and England, and | maybe in a few other places.

Butler University. That with Mr. Mr. Davis is closing a week's en-¢ gagement on the Lyric stage this evening. If he were merely a showman seeking publicity, he would have done this song composing early in the week. All such things help the box-office. But no! The composer of “Margie,” “Carclina Moon” and approximately 1498 other songs worked carefully on this labor of love. It all came out of an interview by two Butler coeds. Mr. Davis said he'd like to write them a paean | of praise for alma mater. But he | had to do four shows a day, judge | a song-writing contest and engage | in other forms of gainful occupa- | tion. Butler's song had to be con- | tent with his spare moments. As this story was being written, Benny was polishing off the last few rhymes, and busying himself with the closing bars of music. So if you drop in at the Lyric tonight for the last show, very likely you will see Butler representatives gratefully accepting a tuneful candidate for college tradition.
