And I mean the kind of IT that Hollywood talks about, likes, and needs. James Roosevelt's first official duty—as a vice-president of Samuel Goldwyn, Inc.—was to hold a press conference. The setting of this little drama was the boss’s white-paneled, buff-draperied inner sanctum.’ For the occasion the “star,” a lank lad of 31 with a very familiar smile and comparatively little light brown hair left, was neatly, ungaudily attired in a business suit of purplish tinge, with a dark blue-and-white tie, black shoes. The “supporting cast” of one—the dapper Mr. Goldwyn—was neat- ly, more gaudily apparent in a small-checked sports suit, with black-and-white shoes. The supporting cast also beamed. Even if you didn't know that the President’s eldest son was a Washington veteran of such affairs, his demeanor would have informed you. After handshakes all around, he moved up front, sat sidewise on Mr. Goldwyn's glass-topped desk, and grinned. Mr. Goldwyn grinned, too, and said, “Gentlemen, here is your victim.” The questions started and Jimmy demonstrated as neat a capacity for answering—or parrying—as Hollywood has seen in years. The first thrust was on his salary. Was it, or wasn't it, as high as $50,000 a year, as reported? Under that figure, said Jimmy, and then—“and not enough to interest Alva Johnston, either,” he added, which brought laughter. (Mr. Johnston, you remember, made Jimmy angry with & piece called “Jimmy’s Got It"—and he didn’t mean IT.) And from then on, it was developed that Jimmy expected to spend the first two months in Mr. Goldwyn's New York office, Pt ittt . on a nippy evening- there's one sure way to get warmed up, inside you and out, drop into Percy's for an evening special treat of steaming chiliy chop suey ~or noodles—at ===Percy’s learning the industry’s fundamentals; and he couldn’t compare | this job with his latest—as secretary to his father—because this one had .a future and the other was at best “only temporary.” Jimmy is the first Washington celebrity to join the movies since Will Hays left the postmaster-general’s office to become the industry’s “czar.” What's behind it? Well, Mr. Goldwyn (who incidentally is our most celebrity-conscious producer) said when he met Jimmy it was “love ai first sight.” He said he felt the industry needed young men like Jimmy, and he expected great things of him. He said he had a five-year contract with Jimmy (but he didn't answer the small voice that said “With options?”) | And aside from that, aside from the younger Roosevelt’s past successes in business, there's the logical conjecture that right now the movie industry can use a little old-family-and-Harvard tradi- tion as an antidote for the comic-strip version of movie executives with which the public is familiar. The movie industry wants dignity. Mr. Goldwyn, in particular, admires dignity. In adding James Roosevelt to the roster of movie executives, Hollywood takes on a large order of prestige—along with a sizeable amount of personal charm that can make friends for Hollywood—and for Goldwyn. || her, Nina, Ramarez's native sweet- | s 2 [ROMANTIC TEAM . |Here's 1939's Glamour Girl; CO-STAR AGAIN ' IN CAPITOL HIT Straight Nose, Large Mouth Jeanette MacDonald, Nel- : ' ’ ' i son Eddy in "'Girl of ' : ' the Golden West” ' | Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy have reached their topmost | §~ heights to date as the screen’s queen | & and king of song in “The Girl of | the Golden West,” now at the Czlpi—[ o tol Theatre | & It is the story of the orphan girl, | 3 Mary, who owns the Polka Saloon | § and dance hall in Cloudy Moun- tain gold camp.
