Paul Muni is one of them. Since New York saw him in “Counsellor- |at-Law" nearly two years ago, the ‘szocky hero of many a virile flim has appeared only on the screem. ‘That is not, as he expla be- cause he would have it so. but | because he has been unable to find a play. It is becoming a sore subject Muni, to have ‘‘free time” ever his film contract he did so with a definite intention of going back to the stage, but now he suspects that Hollywood suspects it was all a ‘“gag.” If anyone thinks Muni is ready to settle down in Holly- wood, bask in the sunshine and en- |jow a calm, money-padded secur- |1ty, Muni is here to deny it with earnest assurances to the contrary. TWO PICTURES A YEAR By his contract Muni is bound to ‘make two pictures a year, pro- duction to begin June 15 and con- tinue for 21 weeks thereafter. That would leave 31 weeks in which he could do his play and get some rest, and 31 weeks would seem ample time. Muni though so—but the best-laid plans . Last year, his film Work finished, with Russia. A star has to be particu- lar about the play he selects. Muni= thinks so, anyway. Having hiev= ed some standing in the profession, unwise venture in the theatre.
