2 SENATORS REPORT JAPS ‘SUBVERSIVE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (U. P.).— Senator Edwin C. Johnson (D. Colo.), said today that he has “quite a bit of evidence” of subversive activities by Japanese residents of Hawaii and the Pacific Coast. Senator’ Johnson, co-sponsor with Senator Guy M. Gillette (D. Ia.), of a resolution to investigate activities of Axis-dominated groups in the United States, said he had travelled in Hawaii last year, “I saw quite a bit of evidence of subversive activity on the part of Japanese while I was there,” Mr. Johnson told reporters. “Although most of the Japanese may be legal residents of Hawaii, they are still committed to carry out the orders of the Japanése Government.” The resolution has been referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the two senators said they would press for early consideration.

: Tyrone Ends

Hitch No. 2

Has Starred in 20 Films;

None Has Lost Money.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 6 (U, P.)— Tyrone Power has just finished his second hitch in Hollywood. It was somewhat more successful than the first. This month, Mr. Power completed the fifth year of his current stay in the movie town. He is 20th CenturyFox's mest valuable property. The studio says it has spent $28,000,000 on the 20 pictures in which he has been starred. None of them ever lost money and two, “Jesse James” and “Alexander's Ragtime Band,” were ranked next to “Gone With the Wind” as the big money makers of the last five years.

Recalls 1931 Snubs

. “After my father died in Hollywood in 1931 while playing in ‘The Miracle Man,’ ” Mr. Power recalled, “I tried to find a job in the movies. I wanted to act, of course, but I would have taken almost anything, just to get a start. “But I couldn’t even get-a “job as an office boy. My father’s friends encouraged me about ting but they didn’t feel that I was good enough then for the movies. They told me to get more experience. “I never expected to come back here when I climbed on a train in 1933 and headed for my home town, Cincinnati.”

Took Comeback Trail

He did come back, though, after working with radio troupes, summer stock companies and on Broadway. He starred in his first picture, “Lloyds of London,” and has been on top ever since. The picture he is doing now, “Son of Fury,” is in the same era. “When I found out I was going to do it, I asked the wardrobe boys to get the ‘Lloyds of London’ costumes out of the moth balls and I'm wearing two of them in this pic-. ture.” The studio has billed “Son of Fury” as a $2,000,000 production and said “A Yank in the R. A. F.” which Mr. Power had just completed, cost more than that. But they have plenty of precedent for believing it will all’ come back, with interest.

BUYS NEW. NOVEL AS BOYER VEHICLE

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. mount has bought Creek,” Daphne du Maurier’s new, unpublished novel, for $125,000 as a vehicle for Charles Boyer. . . . Alexander Knox, who bowed into movies in “The Sea Wolf.” has been signed by Warners for three more films, first of which is “Iceland Patrol.” . .. The same studio will turn out two Ballet Russe shorts in January— The Blue Danube and Prince Igor.

MARLENE HAD THE ‘BIG LOOT' ON HER

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 6 (U. P.).— Bandits who robbed an exclusive Hollywood jewelry shop of precious stones valued at $50,000 missed the “big stuff” because Actress Marlene Dietrich was wearing most of it for a movie. On Monday her studio had rented jeweiry worth: $120,000 for use in a new picture.

JOHN CARRADINE TAKES UP SAILING

They'd do this and that and a wide variety of things, It was fun—for them. : . Operating, however, on the theory that the opposition has a right to a voice, Film Daily has gone to a producer and asked him what he’d do if he were a critic. Well, the producer (who used a nom de plume for obvious reasons) didn’t exactly get around to saying what he’d do if a critic, but he did make some, solid replies to the complaints: made. You will presently see that the: producer has his little problems, too.

Seek . better story material. “Does any critic doubt that producers try their hardest to find the best possible stories? I don’t know of a more convincing way to prove this than by comparing Hollywood to Broadway and the book publishing business, all of which depend on the same basic ingredients—stories. “Records of the past 20 years show that less than 15 per cent of Broadway plays are hits. Less than 5 per cent of published books are best-sellers. And in that other popular creative field, songwriting. less than 4 per cent of the published songs make the hit parades. “The percentage of hit films, however, is several times better than Broadway plays, about 15 times better than books and far, far ahead of songs and anything else in creative fields.
