Counsel for Film Makers

Face Charges in Senate “of 'Incifing War" With Propaganda.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 (U. P). —A Senate committee, acting at the - request of Wendell L. Willkie, today postponed hearings into alleged movie war propaganda until Tuesgay, Sept. 9. Willkie, retained as counsel : to the movie producers, requested ~ the postponement so he would have time to prepare his case. The hearings were scheduled to start tomorTOW. ; pe Senator D. Worth Clark (D. ' Idaho); chairman of the sub-com- . mittee, said he has arranged the postponement after consulting with committee members. “Mr. Willkie, the 1940 Republican Presidential candidate and now a vigorous supporter of President Roosevelt’s foreign policy, revealed last night that he had been retained to defend motion picture producers against the charges.

Denies Propaganda

A subcommittee of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee will - conduct the investigation. A majority of its. members are noninterventionists. Senator D. Worth Clark (D. Ida.) is chairman and the other members are Senators Homer T. Bone (D. Wash.), Ernest W, McFarland (D. Ariz.), C Wayland Brooks (R. Ill.) and Charles W. To(R. N. H) Technically the Committee will consider a resolution by Senators Gerald P. Nye (R. x D.) and Bennett C. Clark .(D. 0.). § Mr. Willkie confirmed in New York t night that he had been retained y Austin C. Keough, chairman of the law committee of Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America. “We will show that the industry is not taking part in any propaganda,” Mr. Willkie said. Members of the investigating committee have accused producers of attempting—through the medium of pro-Byitish and anti-Nazi films— to involve the United States in war.

Hays Protes Will H. Hays, presidént of the Motion Picture Producers! and Distributors, wrote Chairman Clark that the non-interventionist attack was “unjustified” and “a challenge to the fundamental principles of freedom of expression,” He asserted that the industry was merely por-

traying: events of the day and that]

“no charge of propaganda” would defer it. Senator Clark denied that the Committee was going on a witch ~ hunt. “We are determined. to get at the ~ facts which I believe are of the ut- - most importance to the American people,” he said. “The movies control one of the most important sources of information the people have. We should ascertain whether they are being used to deluge the people with propaganda tending to incite war.” .

Hollywood Uses | Lend-Lease Idea

~~ HOLLYWOOD, (U. P.). — The lend-lease idea is gaining more and more support in Hollywood. Here the lend-leasers don’t deal

In war supplies but in talent.

Often there seems to be something about working for a time on. a “foreign” “lot which inspires an actor or actress to turn in a better performance. . And sometimes the studio, bor- * rowing a player merely makes full use’ of ability the home lot had “overlooked. Among those benefiting at the moment from the custom of lending players is Olivia DeHavilland, “who usually works on the Warner Bros., lot. She went to Paramount for “Hold Back the Dawn” and got a part which promises to be her best since Melanie” in “Gone With «the Wind. Susan Hayward, a contract play‘er at Paramount, was borrowed Ry Columbia for “Adam Had Four Sons,” and immediately moved into important roles. Back home at Paramount, she is before the cameras in Cecil B. DeMille’s curht Font production, “Reap the Wild A in »

METAL SHORTAGE

HAMPERS MOVIE|

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 2 (U. P.).— ‘Actress Ona Munson, playing .in “Madam Gin Sling,” new film version of the famous stage play, “Shanghai Gesture,” has run into difficulties because of Government priorities on aluminum. - In her role she wears two-inch-long fingernails with a bright metallic lustre. The studio could not obtain even a square foot of sheet aluminum, however, and decided to make the fingernails of sterling silver. Makeup artists had intended “to dust her hair with powdered alu-

minum to give it a sheen. They are

using gold dust instead.

His Headache Isn’t Phoney

Film 'Prop' Man Guards

Fake Jewelry.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 2 (U. B).— The jewelry is phoney but the headache is 14-karat. The -jewels—$20,000 worth of them—belong to Columbia Pictures. The headache .belongs to BHrank Foster, property man who is responsible for their safe-keeping. They are duplicateg of the Napoleon jewel collection of France and they are expensive because they are super- -accurate reproductions. The copies are being used in the Warren William detective film,

‘| “Secrets of the Lone Wolf.”

“The imitations are so perfectly done,” Foster said, “that everyone in .the picture thought they were real until I,told them differently. “I treat this stuff with a lot of respect. And I'm responsible for seeing that the actors don’t break it up, or lose some of the pieces during action scenes. “The collection was made up by a Los Angeles company, which, during the past 10 years, has duplicated most of the jewel collections of Europe’s royal families. : “Four gem experts worked nearly six months. to create exact duplicates of the Napoleon collection.” The collection includes diamond and emerald necklaces, ropes of pearls, ruby and diamond brooches, egg-sized pendants, rings, hair ornaments and richly carved bracelets. Every now and then Foster warns William, Ruth ¥ord and others on the set to “take it easy with the ice.” A few pieces have been damaged. To meet this risk, Foster keeps a jewel craftsman on the set to make repairs.

Conscience of Cummings Bothers Him—Now.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 2 (U. P).— Robert Cummings still has twinges of conscience when he thinks of how he got his start in the dra-

matic world. . he recalls, exactly

It wasn't, honest. Cummings - was telling: Charles Laughton about it on the. set of “Almost an Angel,” in which he is

for the third time. Two hoaxes were involved in the Cummings plan for crashing stage and screen. When he couldn't’ get a job on Broadway, and numerous starring roles were going to British actors, Cummings went to England, acquired an alias and English accent, and was hired by a Broadway scout to come back to New York. That was hoax No. 1. In the second, he became a “Texan” to get his first’ role in “So Red the

Rose.” : English Irishman

“I had more nerve than brains, I guess,” she said, “because when

I look back on it now, I scare my-

self. When I think of ‘the mistakes I made, and the errors I might have made, L have bad dreams.” He recalled that in England he adopted the name of “Blade Stanhope Conway” and had a snapshot taken of a theater front with the name “Blade Stanhope Conway” in lights—somebody else’s lights. He learned later that the name Conway, which he had selected because of its English sound, was Irish, and that the leading part in the play which furnished the lights was taken by a girl. “But my photographs fooled the Broadway producers,” he said, “and I managed to get started.” He is back on the,Universal lot

| now after three straight loan-outs.

spokesman, said the speech showed that President Roosevelt is seeking: to “drag” American workers into war. A Berlin spokesman asserted that the address revealed the President as “a new Kerensky who is trying to woo the workers’ support and at the same time acting as a pacemaker for Bolshevism.” : Tokyo believed the lack of an attack on Japan was the most important feature—in the light* of teported negotiations between Mr. Roosevelt and. Premier PFuminaro Konoye.

The London Times said that the speech should end a tendency, which had begun to make itself felt on both sides of the Atlantic, to question the effectiveness of Amer-

and the “determination by which it is inspired.” The Daily Mail said that the Allied cause hdd abated. - Mail added, however, that the American people were “not yet fully

Gayda said the Axis willingly would match the conditions of Italian and German workers with those of American labor, since there was no question but that Axis workers were in a superior position. Berlin declared: “Roosevelt spoke regarding workers’ rights, forgetting perhaps that the highest and most sacred right is the right to work, which certainly is not reflected in

the United States unemployment figures.”
