Property Man Has His Woes

Finding a Fleet in War Days Just One Problem

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 28 (U. P). —Consider the woes of the prop-

to produce, overnight, anything from Louis XIV's bedroom slippers to a dozen Bengal tigers, alive with horizontal stripes. These woes can best be seen through the eyes of O. D. Stratton, head of Paramount property

ence in trying to fill Cecil B. De Mille’s order for a small fleet, to be used in “Reap the Wild Wind.” With the great shortage of bottoms, ships are hard to locate, but Mr. Stratton finally found six. He needed more, and heard about one in San Francisco Bay. He found the ship was just what he wanted, as far as lines were concerned, but he thought he had better have the hull inspected.

But all the ‘rans south Or the RIO Grande Knew them. It was the English language that interrupted and almost wrecked her career. Spanish, French and German were a cinch, but in the early years of talkies her English remained almost unintelligible, so she quit. Mona Maris was born Mona Maria Emita Cap de Vielle in Buenos Aires about 27 years ago. Her father was French Basque, her mother a Spanish Basque. Since she had proved her impulsive spirit with a runaway (and quickly terminated) marriage, her elders schemed to cure her celluloid fever with an overdose of the old run-around. A letter made a fellow conspirator of Argentina's ambassador in Berlin, with the result that she met the president of UFA and was given a screen test without any film in the camera. While she was in the studio a prominent director glimpsed her, made a quick but genuine test, and offered a five-year contract. Mona Maris had been featured in four pictures when Joe Schenck persuaded her to go to Hollywood. That wasn't so good, as five years of effort showed. Miss Maris is ambitious beyond the limits of mere plushy living, and if it hadn't been for her visit to South America a year and a half ago she probably would have stayed in retirement. Trouble was that press and public stormed the piers her ship totiched, and in a city or two on the way down she almost crowded the visit of Franklin D. Roosevelt off the front pages.

Polish Star Tells Of German Ban

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 28 (U. P.).— Jan Kiepura, Polish singing star, said how his pictures were forbidden in Austria after the Munich pact

because he was regarded as ‘“unfriendly” to the Nazi cause.

Kiepura testified in a contract suit being heard in Superior Court that he was allowed to work in films under the German Government after the Anschluss and that distribution of his pictures was permitted until a few days after the Munich agreement. “Then a Polish newspaper printed an interview in which I was quoted as advocating that the Warsaw Government abandon its pro-Ger-man policy and seek friendly relatoins with. Czechoslovakia. “A few days later German officials notified me that I was ‘verboten’— that I could not work in films and that my pictures would not be distributed.” His testimony was in behalf of Wilhelm Szekely, European film man, defending himself against a suit by Oskar Gluck, Viennese producer. Gluck claims Szekely owes him $3600 on a contract.
