A S s e SHEAFFER PENS and PENCILS On Sale in ’flw o BUTLER ~MAURO DRUG COMPANY “Your Rexall Store” Hollywood Sights And Sounds | By Robbim Coons HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Oct. 12.—Short-short story: This dialogue comes from the American version of “Dawn Patrol,” an anti-war war picture. . . . Courtney (Errol Flynn): “And that comparison goes for the whole war, Donny—a big, noisy, rather silly game. Here we are —going at it hammer and tongs -and we don't really know why —or what it's all about. . . . And I'll bet you our friends over . there—the enemy--feel exactly the same way. . . . “Some day it will end—-just as suddenly as it started—and we'll all go home. . . . until some other bunch of monkeys sitting around a long table pushes us into another war. . ..” And this dialogue comes from the for-British-consumption version of the same scene: Courtney (Errol Flynn): “And that comparison goes for the whole war, Donny—a big noisy game—but if it hadn't been for the war, we wouldn't have had this flying corps coming along as it is. All of us here are pioneers—but it’s growing up, my boy. Our equipment’s improving evei day and we've the feeling they're behind us back home. . . . It makes us proud, doesn't it? . All through the centuries the instant old Britain’s in any kind of trouble, every kid—every lad—is up and at 'em just like you—ready to give 'em—give—to give it to them. . ..” That’s all. But will Flynn consent to the necessary war- glorifying in the British version? He's been obdurate thus far. A little moth disrupted shooting on the “Sweethearts” set the other day-—for three takes—and incidentally revealed that the WHY NOT ENJOY A REALLY DELICIOUS SUNDAY DINNER AT THE.NEWER—FINER PERCY'’S old African lion-hunter and adventurer, W. S. Van Dyke, is a-skeered of moths. It's a phobia of his—and another is high places. “Blackwell's Island”’—begun as just another movie—is being built up (under Mike Curtiz's direction) into something bigger— because John Garfield’s part in it wasn't enough after “Four Daughters.” The new crime wave—in the movies—has overreached itself. ... Crime School, Orime Is a Racket, They Made Me a Criminal, Crime and Crime and Crime (usually with the Dead End-Crime School Kids). . . . And Jackie Cooper celebrated his 16th birth- day as a “Gangster’s Boy.” Hollywood's going to be on ice in a big y this winter. Sonja Henie, of course, and Irene Dare, the child skater, and now “Fhe Ice Follies,” with the cast of that touring attraction of the same name. . . . The Trocadero puts in a floor show on ice. Some talk of Harold Lloyd's remaking his silent hits (“Grand- ma’s Boy,” “The Freshman,” “Speedy,” etc.) with a young comed- ian playing the roles—and that brings up Eddie Quillan, the boy Lloyd had in mind for that same purpose several years ago. “Dramatic School” # Luise Rainer’s first non-costume pic- ture since “Big City.” . . . In it the sideliners are witnesssing a close match between Rainer and Paulette Goddard for scene- stealing honors. . . . Goddard has some loud dialogue but Rainer, keen to the goings-on, is stealthily underplaying, making her the favorite in the betting.
