STORE GEORGE BROS. 1it? | ‘mming of Lis By ROBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, (Cal, Aug. Frank Craven, who ts when isn't writiag, has a nice job on his hands. It is to write a screen story feature two little boys he never seen, two very famous lit boys, and their mother, who is equally weli-known. It is the story that will initiate the two yo sons of Charles Chaplin to th father’s arofession, 1o he ir Craven, siiting in his office at | the studio the other morning, ad- mitted he badn't the shadow an idea what sort of story would write. But he was smil- ingly unwoiried. “I know Til get it written,” he said. “Tn: mechanical job of putting a story on paper never worries me. The only question is my mind, will the studio But I ven't any control over so what's the use of worry- that ing?” Craven, suthor of 14 plays,: in many of which he has appeared, has had experience entitling him to freedomn from worry in that regard or any other pertaining to his craft. Fox recently combleted “The First Year” and several other of his plays have been ned. And, compered to some of the dramatic t{asks he has handled the confecticn of a screen story for Lita Gray Chaplin and Charles Spencer, J:., and Sidney Earle is mere routine. Craven may have no idea as vet on the type of picture hell write, bui has definite ideas on what it will not be. The chief of these is that it will in no way descend to the poor taste of trad- ing on the success of the young- ster's father. “I've seen the boys in newsreels,” he says, “ana they're a clean-cut, attractive pair of kids. That's how they'll be presented just as’ they are. “I don't know yet whether Miss Grey will play their mother in the film—she may be cast of their aunt, or a friend, or just as a young woman in the story. Al that has to be decided.” Craven, ca the stage since he was three years old, and a mem- ber of a family full of stage names, acted for the screen in his “The Very Idea,” produced as 4n early talkie, but has no acting plans for his present sojourn, ERNEST W.
