Betty Finds Role,

Recalls Lawsuit]

PROVINCETOWN, Mass., Aug. 23 (U. P.).—Movie Star Bette Davis notified her employers today: that .she has found a new play, which she said “recalled” her London court trial during litigation with them, a role she would like to act in the films, She told Warner Brothers that “The Woman Brown,” a play by Dorothy Cumming being tried out at the Wharf Theater here, showed how a slum-woman was convicted of murder on circumstantial evidence. Attending last night's performance, the two-time motion picture

Academy Award winner was started by the appearance of Royal Beal as the defense lawyer. : “He’s the image of Sir Patrick Hastings (Warner Brothers’ counsel at the London trial),” she said. “I almost thought I was back in the courtroom. This Brown woman is ‘nervy,’ and I'd like to portray her on the screen.”

Glasses Postpone Kipling’s Story

Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 23. — The schedule on Rudyard Kipling’s “The Light That Failed” has been set back by at least one day’s shooting. The scene was supposedly in the Sudan. Gallant British soldiers were defending a “square” against the attack of the “Fuzzie-Wuzzies.” The savages had come on and They were fighting hand-to-hand with the gallant Britishers. Suddenly the British cavalry came into view. The “Fuzzie-Wuzzies” broke in disorder and ran off. “cut!” cried Director Willlam Wellman. “That was perfect.” “I'm sorry, sir, but you're wrong,” quietly declared a script clerk. “That Fuzzie-Wuzzie there was right in the middle of the scene and he was wearing sun-glasses.”

OLLYWOOD, Aug. 23.—There they go! Tracy is second, Babe is third, Whitey is fourth. . . . They're at the clubhouse turn, and it’s Tuffy by a nose—I mean a beak—and Babe, on the rail, is second by a pluhe, Tracy is third, and Whitey is acting

Tuffy is taking the lead,

strangely. At the far turn, and it looks like Tuffy from wire to wire! . « « Into the stretch! It’s Tuffy, and he’s coming fast. No, he’s faltering! . « « Now Tuffy has pulled up and sat down on the track! But that’s the way it is with an ostrich race. The birds will stop whenever and wherever they take a notion. Fach year the farmers around Capetown, South Atrica, have a fair, and one of the main events is ostrich racing. Paramount has a picture called “Diamonds Are Dangerous, ” in which Capetown is the main locale—so Isa Miranda and George Brent must go to the races. And that’s something new, even for Hollywood. When the story was written, an ostrich race seemed a simple enough assignment because the Los Angeles Zoo has eight of the birds for rent. But that was before LeRoy Stone found out about ostriches.

8 #8 =

OR eight weeks the birds were trained in harness and to pull sulkies. Right away, the drivers and handlers began to learn that although an ostrich may not mind running, he has very little competitive spirit. If one gets out in front, the others merely fall in behind and make a parade of it. Or they may run in the opposite direction. At first, Mr. Stone was worBien about using a camera truck to film the race, but he found that the birds ran better when the truck was pacing them. He really had trouble, though, when he reached the sequence where Tuffy is supposed to run into a breakaway fence of light balsa wood, swing around, and still win the race. Tuffy wouldn't S0s0pex= rate. On successive takes, he crashed his sulky into an a mobile, wrecked a camera and tripod, and scared the daylights out of a group of spectators. But he wouldn't hit the fence. Ostriches are crazy, but not that crazy.

; 8 8 8 OU probably never have heard Y. the actor who has been longest in the movies because, although he has appeared in about 2500 pictures, He never has had screen credit. He's Robert E.

was a circus contortionist. During the early winter of 1899, he was hired for one of the first commercial flickers—a novelty short that didn’t even have a name. “From 1901 to 1905, I worked in a lot of pictures for Mr. Edison,” the lanky extra, who's six and a half feet tall, recalled. “And I played in ‘The Great Train Robbery.! In fact, I had two parts in that one—a member of the train crew and one of the bandits.” And in 1906 he appeared in the first talkie, “The Chimes of Normandie.” The dialog was récorded on cylinders and was played on a phonograph behind the screen. The result was térrible, and everybody agreed that it would be impossible ever to synchronize sight and sound.

CCORDING to neighborhood the older shows. This the South Side, Ben Sagalowsky

“San Francisco” beat everything the Vogue had this year except “Confessions of a Nazi Spy” and “Dark Victory.” It doubled the gross of “Yo Mr. Lincoln.” = “Mutiny on Bounty” beat the double bill: “It's a Wondeyful World” and “Juarez.” . The reasons for this defeat of some of the year’s better pictures (and they were the better ones, both from an artistic and boxoffice standpoint) is. difficult to determine. In many cases there is a nostalgia on the part of the customers. They remember the highlights of those older pictures and want to see them again. os ” tJ AROLD STEVENS, Paramount official here, says it is a matter of stars and smash hits. He says the customers want to see their favorites in the smashes they

remember them in. He adds: “A smash hit is a smash hit, I don’t care what year it was made in.” - Mr. Sagalowsky had another angle: “It’s unfair to compare present-day pictures with those we've been bringing back. Pictures made a few years ago were closer to life than the ones being made now. Therefore they have more appeal. “I could beat anything on the street today with ‘Big House’ and ‘Min and Bill’ on the same screen.” Whatever the reason neighborhood theatergoers can be sure of seeing a number of revivals within the next few months. . 2 8 2

Al says Mr. Gates’ help was invaluable in the first two (or three months of breaking in. . . . Despite the acclaim given “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” by critics all over the country, North Side youth is giving the show the go-by for “Man About Town” on the same bill. Cashiers, who know almost as much as their managers about what's going on at the theaters, say the 18 to 22 group were asking when “Chips” would be over. They wanted to see Rochester. . . .

Ignores Cry Of Filipinos

Goldwyn Refuses to Cut Alleged Cowardly Scenes.

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 23 (U. P.) — Samuel Goldwyn refused today to cut scenes from the motion picture “The Real Glory” allegedly showing Filipino soldiers as cowards. Mr. Goldwyn let his aid, James Roosevelt, explain that such scenes as an Amreican lieutenant slapping two Filipinos, and a whole contingent of Filipinos running from a lone Moro, “are historically accurate.” Filipinos had protested so vigorously that their president, Manuel Quezon, sent his resident commissioner, Joaquin M. Elizalde, here from Washington to see the film. Mr Elizalde thought it unfair, but Mr. Goldwyn and Mr. Roosevelt disagreed with him.

Susan Refuses To Give Ground

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 23—Susan co-starred in “Beau Geste,” said to-

Eastern Pianist Will Join Conservatory's Staff.

Guy Maier, American pianist and educator, will become the artist teacher of piano at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music beginning with the September semester and continuing for one year, it was announced today. Miss Ada Bicking, conservatory director, said he will fill a temporary vacancy caused by a one-year leave

Mr. Maier studied at the New England Conservatory of Music and with Schnabel in Boston. He toured Europe and Australia in recital and as soloist with symphony orchestras. In 1916 he and Lee Pattison appeared together for the first time in a two-piano recital in Boston. The same year they appeared together in Aeolian Hall, New York. From then until their farewell tour in 1929-1930, they were heard extensively together in recital and with orchestras in Europe and America.

I Baffles Hollywood

Margie Rabid Fan, Is at All ‘Sneak’ Previews.

Times Special | HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 23.—All they know about her is her name is

Margie. She has Hollywood guessing |

at another unannounced preview.

Moviemen often give “sneak” - views. They want to see how their newest movie is—and without benefis of of the public, who hight not e i

She Scoops the Papers

When"a new girl comes to this city, Margie knows about her before the newspapermen do. They often come to her for advice. Whether it’s a star or a starlet she’s there for the autograph. “I've got all of them I need,” she says, “but I get them for my friends. I've even got Greta Garbo’s.” She has no secrets as to how she finds out about things. She says when someone is signed in the East she naturally hears about it, makes more inquiries, and she’s there when the train comes in.

Knows Many Stars

As for the preview: “I just figured it was about time for a preview. And I thought they’d probably have it here. So I came.” She knows may of the stars and they know her. Fred MacMurray spotted her at a preview of “Invitation to Happiness.” He asked her how she liked the show. “It’s good,” she told him. “It'll make money.” It did. Margie knows. She meets all the trains.
