Assured that there is no danger passengers sit tensely in the ship's lounge, trying to appear at ease. An influential skipper among the passengers demands of the captain that everybody be put into the small boats and headed for an island 20 miles away. The desperately ill commander dies shortly after he has given the order to launch the boats. The First Officer, in the person of Jack Holt, is now in command. He countermands the order knowing chat there is no safe landing on the island. A riot of passengers and crew follows, when Holt narrowly es- capes death at the hands of an in- furiated stoker from the engine room. Thus began a screen story which is filled with tense situations throughout its performance. What chance has love between a millionaire’s son and a personal maid? That’s the romantic question pro- pounded in the Fox hit, “Private Number,” at the Capitol Theatre with Robert Taylor and Loretta Young starred together for the first time as a screen love-team. “Private Number” features an out- standing cast in support of the two young stars including Patsy Kelly, Basil Rathbone and Marjorie Gate- son.

The mighty Gophers, recognized as the SCREEN STORY, HOW TO GET IT, TOLD BY LLOYD Director Passes Up Nothing —Has Many Success- i es from Formula | 3y ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 29.— 'Frank Lloyd's formula for selecnn;,\ a screen story is interesting and | |simple, but it runs into complica-| tions. After reading a yard, he asks him- self: “Two years from now will f. remember this story?” And if the story & good enough to justify an affirmative answer, he believes the story has every | chance of making a great mnvle The complications arise® because |finding that kind of story means plowing through hundreds, even thousands, of scripts. Lloyd recent- ly completed “Maid of Salem” and already has begun the quest for \another story. He has Gilbert Ga- briel's story of pioneering, “I, James Lewis,” on schedule for spring pro- duction, but after that—what? Reads '’Em All “There doesn't seem to be any short cut in story selecting,” he says. “Stories come in every day from writers and the only way to | pick the sheep from the goats is to read them all. “Sometimes, the first paragraph hits you right betweeh the eyes and you think you've found some- thing. Then it peters out. But no matter what my reaction to a story may be, the minute I finish it I ask myself, ‘Will I remember it in two years?'” Lloyd argues it is the theme rather than the plot that makes a story memorable. He selected “Mu- tiny on the Bounty” after several studios had rejected it on the ground that it lacked a good romance and had too much brutality in it. “It appealed to-me,” he says, “be- cause despite these apparent faults it had a great theme—back of its plot it carried the message that tyranny and a disregard of man's rights are wrong. ‘Maid of Salem,’ ,entirely different in plot and char- ncLer, has almost precisely the same theme and the same appeal. - The ‘vulmn is the Salem witchcraft out- break of 1692, menacing the romance of Claudette Colbert and Fred Mac- Murray.” Thinks Audience Approves Lloyd believes that audiences, watching the delineation of this theme on the screen, are mentally approving. “Suppose,”’ he says, "Lhat some man in the audience works for an unsympathetic boss. Don't you think |he feels it deeply when Gable is subjected to the tryranny of Cap- tain Blight? And he’s glad to see tyranny get a sock in the eye. He won't forget it for two years or 10 —and when that happens you have a great story.” Smiley Burnette, the partner of |Gene Autry of the westerns, was |sole operator and entertainer on a 100-watt local radio station at Tus- cola, Ill, when Autry, looking for a musician, heard of him. Calling him long distance, Autry asked him how much he was get- ting. “Fourteen dollars a week,” said Smiley.
