HOLLYWOOD
OLLYWOOD, June 27.—Short takes: Several of the impor tant scenes in “Gone With the Wind” have been filmed in two ways — one to oppose censorship and one to appease it.
Two endings also have been written, but there is no problem of censorship there. It must be decided, perhaps by preview audiences, whether resignation or frustration is a better closing note. One ending is like that of the book except that the fadeout shows Scarlett at Tara. She is saying, “He'll come back. a He must come back. . « Pi think of some way to get him back.” The other conclusion lets you know that Scarlett has given up any notion of seeing Rhett Butler again; but she finds real happiness in her return to Tara and realizes that the plantation is the only thing she honestly loves. os 8 s
HIS ig not one of those ome niscient obstetrical notes— but I do know that some day Clark and Carole Gable hope to raise a family. Lyva Lys and Humphrey Bogart are going arotnd the Warner lot looking like a couple of spooks and spoiling business in the restaurant. They're wearing a ghastly blue-white makeup for “The Return of Doctor X” in which they're supposed to be a couple of dead people who are revived and kept alive by syne thetic blood. A tragedy unreported in Holly wood is the death of Ditto, the movies’ star chimpanzee. Working in the last Tarzan picture, he caught a cold from human members of the cast and later sueccumbed to pneumonia. . Ditto was the understudy of Shorty until shorty grew too strong and temperamental for studio work. John Haeseler, who owned both, expects to find a mate for Shorty and give the pair to the San Diego 200. Lunching in her dressing room, Olivia de Haviland doused her salad with a pink mixture that turned out to be liguid makeup instead of dressing. Said it tasted pretty good. . . . Trying to sell a story to a studio, a writer pointed out many novel features of his plot. “Sorry,” said the executive, “but the movie public is tired of novelties.”
OT all the slapstick comedy is on the screen these days. When an uppity but second-rate young actress demanded a private chair with her name on it, one was meekly provided. But first, matchsticks were substituted for all the bolts and screws. It collapsed into a dozen pieces when she tried to sit down, but the wreckage was nothing compared with the damage to her dignity. Of all the impressive marvels of Movietown, admits Ingrid Bergman, stellar import from Sweden, the thing that most amazes and delights her is corn-on-the-cob. . . . Joan Fontaine, who has had too little recognition here, is the leading candidate for the top role in “Rebecca.” . Gene Autry's next picture will be a super-dooper costing a quarter of a million and will introduce him to a lot of customers who never have seen him bulldog a guitar,

films such as “Confessions of a Nazi Spy.”
Granted all the problems in producing films such as the one about sergeant, and Wilbur H. Noyes, sup-
the Nazi spy, it seems to me that it was not truly “controversial,” but rather that it tended to be “documentary.”
True, the producers seemed to be trying to present the German masses as being ignorant of these spying tactics, but there was the blame for the whole spy system resting upon the Nazis. If the movie had been made with the idea of presenting a good show, the producers were highly successful. One result was that “Confessions” was a first rate “western” in a different locale. We in the audience lost perspective and we booed the villian with all the vigor

the picture-makers ought to lay off ideology and try telling the story without any garnishing. Just the truth of the Niemoeller case, for instance, ought to be enough to take your hat off. We claim to be working for peace and many who dislike totalitarian ideas and tactics like to think that the dictator states will come around to peaceful solutions of the world’s problems. All right, then, from the moving picture standpoint, any picture which simply goes out of its way to heckle and bait doesn't serve the interests of peace.
In other words, we like demoeracy. And one of the ideals of democracy is truth. Well, let's have some truth—intelligently presented.
Then, gentlemen, we will have truly “controversial” pictures. 2 2 8

the other Hollywood “opi,” this one has been christened a dozen times. Its final title will be “The Great

Fourth of July. Mr. Chaplin says, in happy agreement with our own views, that the best way to make people think is to make them laugh. He hopes to make the dictator the laughing
stock of America. It's a pretty safe bet we'll leave the showing of “The Great Dictator” not in a lather but in stitches.
Paulette Goddard will play the feminine lead, which is hardly news.

BLOOMFIELD, Ind., June 27 (U. P.) —Greene Circuit Judge J. Raymond Powell will rule Saturday on
a habeas corpus petition seeking the release of Mrs. Pearl Miller and Yancey Zachary of Indianapolis, held in connection with the death of Mrs. Mary Ellis in a $1.50 robbery in 1933. !

RUN HULL, CLAPPER URGES DEMOGRATS
Times Special NEW YORK, June 27.—Expressing his hope that President Roosevelt will decide not to run for a third term, Raymond Clapper, Washington columnist for the Scripps-Hows= ard Newspapers, sald last night that the “practical thing” for the Democratic Party would be to nominate Secretary of State Cordell Hull for the Presidency. Mr. Clapper spoke at a dinner given by the New York State Publishers Association and the New York Associnted Dailies, at the Lido Country Club on Long Island. “As one who has been generally sympathetic with what Mr. Roosevelt has tried to do, I sincerely hope he will decide not to run,” the columnist said. “If he runs, the campaign will exceed in bitterness anything that has been seen in our time. I don’t want to see the Democratic leadership of President Roosevelt crucified with the phony cry that he wants to be a dictator. “If I were God, I'd make Cordell Hull the Presidential candidate of the Democratic Party. Secretary Hull is a big man, a courageous man, and he has something to give the country which it needs at this hour.”
