terrible fellow—under the alias of crook, a parole violator. He's th

funerals. And wait’ll you see how he treats his dames! He even slugs Lana Turner, and knocks her cold. Of course he gets it in the neck eventually—and maybe a few other places. Checking back over Taylor’s record, you find that his first job here was prophetic: It was one of Metro’s “Crime Doesn’t Pay” shorts. Taylor played a criminal who mutilated his own face with acid so he wouldn’t be recognized by the law.

Becomes a Scoundrel

CINEMATIC crime really didn’t pay him very well at that time— about eight years ago. He was getting $35 a week. But the little picture won him chances as respectable roles, and he didn’t get into trouble again until a few months ago in “Billy the Kid.” Now, as Johnny Eager, he’s a complete scourfidrel without a single redeeming feature except his valuable physical ones. Whether crime will pay Bob Taylor this time is not a question that’s

Im ‘Scoundrel’

By PAUL HARRISON Times Special Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 23.—This Robert Taylor, once as nice a young man as ever came from Filley, Neb., has turned out to be a

“Johnny Eager.” He’s a killer, a e brains of a swindling gambling

syndicate, an extortionist and a vicious hater of the law. He decrees executions as casually as he later orders flowers for the He also shoots his best friend.

worrying Metro much. He and his bosses figure it'll be a good change of pace for him. Speaking of type changes, there's a transition going on over at Warners in the character of Humphrey Bogart. Frequently a star but seldom a true hero, he’s redeeming some of his celluloid sins in “All Through the Night.” He is identified as a reformed gangster. And he wins the gal even though, like Bob Taylor, he knocks her cold with a clip on the chin. It looks like a rough autumn for leading ladies. Hayden “Heaves To”

I also have a report on g milestone in another career—Stirling Hayden’s. You may recall him as

distinction in “Virginia,” and soon you'll be seeing him, again opposite Madeleine Carroll, in “Reap the Wild Wind.” But probably that’s all yowll be seeing of him. Mr. Hayden has quit movies. He tossed his California license plates into the Pacific Ocean, and he turned back to Paramount the $1705 boat that was given him in the hope of reefing his urge to go to sea again. He has returned (as last I heard of him) to Ben Pine’s wharf at Gloucester, Mass., where he got his first berth and began his rise to become mate, navigator and master of real sailing ships.

|Some Additions

To Goldwynisms

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 23.—Lots of ridiculous, Malaproprian remarks are attributed to Samuel Goldwyn, but the ones of pure Goldwyn coinage generally include a' deft bit of logic or a terse opinion that is wonderfully expressive. His “Include me out!” probably is repeated daily in executive conferences all over town. During a long, tiresome conference about the middle of last week, Mr. Goldwyn strolled to a window, regarded the pleasant autumnal weather and sighed: “What a marvelous day to spend Sunday!” And in another conference, he declared: “What the movies need is more love stories with romantic interest.”

BETSY BLAIR AND GENE KELLY WED

| Evangelist Catholic Church yester-

day. Miss Blair stepped from the chorus of “Panama Hattie” to William Saroyan’s “The Beautiful People.” Kelly, best known for playing the title role in “Pal Joey,” landed in “Leave It to Me” during a visit to New York four years ago. He then appeared in “One for the Money and “The Time of Your e.”

MISTAKE IN LINES: DID SHE MEAN IT?

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 23. — Subconscious ideas sometimes spout

.|from players when they blow up in

their lines. In “Midnight Angel,” Martha O'Driscoll was supposed to say to Robert Preston: “Never marry the moody type. They’ll drive you crazy.” What she actually said, on the first take, was, “Never marry the movie type. Theyll drive you crazy.” 3

MORE EVIDENCE that Orson

Welles is working on a musical depicting the life of Louis Armstrong, the trumpet king: Duke

Ellington has been hired to write a score for the Wonder Boy. ..: Victor will release a “hot jazz” album next Friday that should live up to its name. It will deal with “hot pianos”: Earl Hines in “On the Sunny Side of the Street” and “My Melancholy Baby”; Fats Waller with “Ring Dem Bells’ and “Carolina Shout”; Duke Ellington in “Solitude” and “Dear Old Southland,” and Jelly-Roll Morton in “Seattle Hunch” and “Freakish.” Sounds sizzling. Not satisfied with only nine saxes in his new band, Shep Fields has added a 10th, Bill De Mayo. . . . Mr. Waller’s latest will be “Sad Sap Sucker Am I” and “Rump Steak Serenade.” And I wonder who thinks up those titles. : RKO has signed Kay Kayser fo a three-picture agreement to last two years.

About Eadie

COLUMBIA'S NEXT musical will be “Eadie Was a Lady,” work on which is to start next month. Franchot Tone will have the leading male role opposite Rita Hayworth. Other castings include John Hubbard, Edgar Buchanan and James Gleason. . Tone will be a college professor with whom Rita, a can-can dancer, falls in love. . . . Frank Churchill, who composed the songs for “Snow White,” will do the same for the next Walt Disney full-length opus, “Dumbo. » Some of the titles: “Look Out for Mr. Stork,” “Casey Junior’s Comin’ Down the Track,” “Song of the Roustabouts” and “Lullabye.” “Dumbo,” incidentally, is an account of the adventures of a little circus elephant. . .. Mary Lee, the 16-year-old singer who used to be with Ted Weems and now works with Gene Autry in Westerns, entered her final year of high school last week. She attends Mar-Ken, a professional institution, and studies French, English and psychology. A Skeltonian: Red had finished a tiresome day’s work on the set of “Panama Hattie.” Director Norman McLeod, apparently a bit tired, too, .stepped up and asked, “What did you come to Hollywood for?” To which Red snapped: “Because my wife had a pair of slacks she wanted to wear with her mink coat.” Somehow, we think Mr. Skelton caught the very essence of life as they live it in Hollywood.

SPAIN GIVES NOD TO LATIN AMERICA

MADRID, Sept. 23 (U. P.).—The newspaper Hoja del Lunes has called attention to the increased exploitation of Mexican and Argentine films, plays and music in keeping with Spain’s new policy of encouraging cultural relations with Latin America. The newspaper article, one of a series devoted to Mexico in recent weeks although there are no diplomatic relations between Spain and Mexico, gave high praise to Mexican films saying they combined the best features of Hollywood and Russian productions.
