‘Premiere’ Due at Lyric

Hollywood Troupe to Don Ermine and Masks.

EC. 5, 1940 _

Apparently the “Hollywood Hotel” Revue troupe, which comes to the Lyric tomorrow, has dedicated itself to remedy a serious lack in our civic life. + It -came to their attention that » Indianapolis never has had a “gala - world Premiere” of a motion pic- : ture, with Hollywood stars, flood - lights, ermine capes and the rest ,of the trimmings. But thdt biot ‘on our escutcheon vill soon be re-| + moved. Tomorrow evening at 8 o’clock the Lyric will be flood-lighted in the ‘conventional premiere manner. And the “Hollywood Hotel” cast, with| the help of some masks, wilk impersonate more stars than even the biggest premiere could boast. Atmosphere will include movie cameras, policemen and, the Lyric hopes, plenty of onlookers. The revue is presented by Harry Howard, who was Florenz Ziegfeld’s'. assistant for several years.

By PAUL HARRISON Times Special Writer HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 5.—As a slight but encouraging ihdication that the movies are growing up, I commend to your attention the character of Franchot Tone in “The Trail of the Vigilantes.” Until a short while ago--about the time touches of high satire made a hit in “Destry Rides .Again’’—nobody would have dreamed of showing the hero of a western in anything but a thoroughly heroic light.

riding like a centaur—with the aid of doubles—by the beginning of Reel 3,- Allan Dwan, though, keeps Tone bouncing around, awkward but game, all through the picture. Once he rides into a saloon and is bucked off into a chandelier.

At the end, triumphant in his mission and having won the girl, Tone exuberantly makes a dash for his horse and you feel sure thas this time he’s going to succeed in leaping aboard. And he might, too, except that the horse tries to be helpful and kneels suddenly, with the result that Tone goes hurtling over him and into the dust.

2 ” 2

FOR THE bucking scene, they actually use a double for Tone’s regular mount, because Joaquim simply won’t misbehave. He’s high-school trained and gentle enough to be trusted with the priceless necks of most of the non-equestrian stars of Hollywood. You've seen him scores of times.

Joaquim is almost constantly in

"|demand at $100 a day. But this is

partly because he’s a paint, and therefore is especially photogenic. The best horse in-pictures is a sorrel named Nevada; third best is a white gelding, Sultan. All three belong to Jack Boylg, who trained them, and who has a stable of about 100 ordinary mounts which ‘he rents to studios. : ” 4 %

BOYLE HAS refused a $500 offer for Nevada from a wealthy man who wanted him as a sadd horse. The trainer doubts he’ll ever see another animal which so completely seems, to sense the demands of picture making. When actors are speaking lines,

‘| Nevada won’t even twitch an ear.

During the filming of a tough scene in “North West Mounted Police,” he stood for five hours in one spot. According to the industry’s scale, $100 is the top daily rental Boyle can ask for Nevada and Joaquim, but he’s petitioning the Producers Association for a new deal. It isn’t enough money, he says, when you consider that a finely trained horse is ruined for movie work if some fool actor shoots off a gun next fo the animal’s ear. It has happened before.

Public interest in the strength and -activity of the U. S. Navy is probably ‘at its peacetime peak today. All of which would afford Hollywood a golden opportunity for some timely money-makers except for one factor. The Navy is too busy at present to offer studios their fornier cooperation in the matter of producing seagoing pictures, So Warner Bros. has solved the problem by Je issuing “Here Comes the Navy,™ 1934 picture, which is currently - the Apollo.

“Here Comes the Navy” was filmed aboard the U. S. S. Arizona and at the Naval Training Station at San Diego, Cal. More than 3000 officers and men from the Arizona, the training station and the Navy base at Sunnyvale, Cal., were used in the picture, along with about 20 professional actors,

James Cagney and Pat O’Brien he#d the cast with Gloria Stuart as the girl they both leve and Frank McHugh providing the bulk of the comedy. ‘' The picture was directed by Lloyd Bacon. On the same bill with the reissue is a first-run film starring Jane Withers. “Youth Will Be Served” is the title, and the support-
