By Marie Drake. 50c.| HOLLYWOOD, Cal,, Dec. 21.—High on the list of any actor’'s dreads in Hollywood is the bugaboo of “typing.” And I've Just discovered that, just as in the Gershwin song, it ain’t necessar- ily so There’s a picture being made in which pra actically every prin- cipal-—even, alas, including the director—has done a complete about-face in characterizations within the past two years. It’s called “Wife, Husband and Friend” although that prob- ably will be changed. Hollywood hasn't changed THAT much. But Loretta Young is the heroine. Two years ago, until “Love Is News,” Loretta was our sweel, ethereal romantic; in this one she is sweet, but also a comedienne. Hero is Warner Baxter, erstwhile dashing fellow, here doing his best to portray a blundering mugg of a spouse; “Friend” of the title is Binnie Barnes, one-time romantic heroine, later a siren and heavy, currently in a semi-comedy role. And Cesar Romero, launched as an impassioned sheik-type screen lover, has gone through the heavy stage and emerged as a comic. J. Edward Bromberg, beginning as a villain, is clear of the stigma at last. s News T0aay.— Empire. The director—and here is the sad part of all this—is Gregory Ratoff. He too has changed. Once, until very recently, Ratoff was a champion scene-stealer before the camera. Lately, with his ascent to a directorial throne, the inimitable Ratoff has begun to yield to a malignant attack of Dignity. The pink-faced cherub of the lots, whose accent is ingrown and can’t be shaken off like other comic assets, has decided that buf- foonery is ho-keh for dem dot hess to meke pipple leff, but not for a director.
