Growing Out of a Job

ONE OF THE MOST unique problems-in the theater has befallen Oscar Serlin, producer, whose comedy . classic, “Life With Father,” returns to English’s Dec, 28 for a week’s run. The four, red-haired boys of the Clarence Day family keep growing out of their parts. The sons of Clarence Shepard Day are 16, 14, 8 and 6 and they must give the impression of average size for their ages. So when

Clarence Jr., the eldest, begins to look like 18 instead of 16, he gets his notice and starts hunting up another job. This has been the fate of all the Clarences in the three “Life With Father” companies which have been presenting the play for nearly four years. When Clarence goes, it is a break for John, the second son, age 14, who succeeds to the eldest son role. The little fellow, 6-year-old Harlan, has been replaced more frequently than any of his stage brothers. Mr. Serlin has discovered . that actors aged 6 have a tendency to grow out of their parts during a single season. All of which necessitates a backlog of theatrical youngsters who can be rushed in to fill the gap. So far, no Clarence has gone on to play father. Not yet. But Edsel Hughes, the current Clarence, with the optimism of the true trouper, has an option on the part For 1965.

Zanuck in Africa FILMS OF the Anglo-American drive in North Africa will be reaching U, 8. theaters soon, according to word from allied headquarters in North Africa. Col. Darryl F. Zanuck and a corps of cameramen have shot hundreds of feet of film of allied operations. Already, two documents, “Yanks Invade Africa,” and “Victory Over Rommel” are available for home showings on 16 mm and 8 mm

films.

HARRY (POP) SHERMAN, the usher who worked himself up to producer, has finally released his secret formula. It's called the Sherman Code and it’s the bible of the celluloid west. Few people outside Hollywood ever heard of it, but it’s a sure-fire formula for the transmutation of celluloid into nickels, dimes and quarters at thousands of box-offices. Sherman is the guy who makes nearly all of the paying western films. In his code, sex is minimized, ‘which is practically revolutionary for the film industry to start with. None of Sherman’s heroes, like Hopalong Cassidy, ever goes out of his way for a dame, The girls don’t get serenaded,

either. Heroes don’t break into song at crucial moments. Heroes don’t wear silk shirts and sport flimsy mustaches. . Nor are they superman. Sometimes when firing at the villain, they even miss. They don’t drink and they don't smoke. They don't use hard language. The code provides that no villain is ever left at large when the picture ends. They're always rounded up and brought to justice. Or killed. It doesn’t matter, just so the' same villain doesn't come back to another picture. The Sherman code is a model for the S. P. C. A. when it comes to treating horses in the humane way. Sherman’s horses are never forced to jump over cliffs or gallop downhill. There are no painted desert backdrops in the Sherman code, but real scenery. They are all outdoor pictures. According to usual , Hollywood standards, the Sherman code ought to wreck the industry. But it’s made plenty of money for Harry. One more feature of the code—it also calls for Harry Sherman's participation as an extra in all his films.

DROPS 24.2%

November Average Showed Fewer Passenger Cars, But More Trucks.

Indiana’s automatic highway traffic counters showed a decrease in traffic volume of 24.2 per cent ‘dur~ ing November as compared with the same month a year ago, State Highway. Commission Chairman Samuel C. Hadden said today. But with increasing travel limitations, he said, counters no longer give an accurate

picture, The .state has 20 automatic counters distributed at what were once strategic points over the state. Currently, however, heavily increased truck traffic in uncounted areas has thrown the system off the track. Comparative gross gasoline tax figures from past months, Hadden said, indicate that the total reduction will be less than what the counters indicated. In October, for instance, the counters showed that travel was off 28 per cent, but the amount ‘of gasoline consumed was only 11.3 per cent below that of October, 1941,

More Trucks

The greater part of the traffic reduction has occurred in passenger cars, Hadden said, while truck traffic, most damaging to highways, apparently is on the increase. What gasoline rationing, which went into effect Dec. 1, will do in the way of further reduction in travel is a matter of pure conjecture. “We have no way of knowing how many B cards and C cards will be in effect or to what extent share-the-ride plans will take cars off the road,” the highway chairman asserted. “Some traffic experts believe the danger point in the rubber situation will not come before September and we may have to wait that long to see what rationing is going to do to our roads and to our revenue,” “The big question now,” Hadden said, “is what the legislature will do to help us hold up our revenue. Each year a considerable mileage of our highways is passing the age of 20 years and with new construction out for the duration, maintenance costs will soar.”
