Z—The cen- tral executive of a bureau of in- dustry has been formed to concen- trate on working out plans for in- dustrial expansion and establish- ment of new industries. e " o Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbia Coons HOLLYWOOD, Cal,, Jan. 18—Actors should never complain. The dirtiest deal is likely as not to turn itself into a double-O on the roulette wheel of movie fortune. Look at Walter Brennan. Two months ago T saw this young- old man of the movies and he was all fired up with plans for a picture called “Jesse James.” If he got through in time—he was working then on “The Cowboy and the Lady"—he would get a choice part in the bandit’s life story. Everything was set— prac- tically. He could see himself in the saddle, riding on to bigger things. But no. Goldwyn’s factory didn’t finish the picture in time. “Jesse James” took Henry Hull instead. Walter didn’t know about it until the last minute. He was sore. S0 he goes into an unpretentious little picture at 20th-Century- Fox. It's called “Kentucky” and Walter plays a fine old crotchety, feuding Colonel—and then it turns out to be a very fine, much ballyhooed picture and Walter runs away with the acting honors. And Walter’s boss Goldwyn is so impressed when he sees it that he plans to “include him in” in a large way hereafter in Goldwyn plans! The debonair George Sanders (“Lancer Spy,” “Four Men and a Prayer,” etc.) is now the Saint, replacing Louis Hayward who with “Duke of West Point” has gone on to better things. Sanders is now in his third phase of Hollywood development. The first had him tabbed as “the hermit of Laurel Canyon,” a lonely soul living apart from the world with his book and—pre- sumably—his dog. The second sent him to live alone—presumably with book and dog—on a yacht in the harbor. The third: “Since returning from London where I made a couple of films, e when and where = - - Percy’s private party room is jusi the place for your entertaining— and, it is available for private affairs every evening . . . -=-at Percy?s e T've lived in a hotel—and this is the bright lights-and-crowds phase, T suppose.” Y The English Mr. Sanders half-suspects that his Laurel Canyon hermitage was the device of a desperate publicist unable to find ‘‘color” in his quite normal life and therefore forced to invent it. As the Saint, a wrong-avenger who hates crime, Sanders is engaged presently on “The Saint Strikes Back’—at what, how- ever, he had no idea. i But what I started to relate was his whimsical idea, which any producer may have gratis, for assembling all the screen’s series heroes and heroines into one gigantic series film. Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto, the Thin Man, Bulldog Drummond, the Saint could combine sleuthing efforts, aided by Torchy Blane and Nancy Drew, and cheered on by the Jones, Hardy, and Higgins families, with Bronx cheers from the Dead End Kids and the Little Tough Guys. The manly art of self-defense, in Victor McLaglen's current plight, includes giving Nelson Eddy lessons in how to knock him out. McLaglen is a veteran of film punches, both on giving and re- ceiving ends. In “Song of the West” he has to take it from the musical Eddy, who hasn't made pugilism his hobby. The big dread of a professional movie fighten, tangling with an amateur, is that his opponent will forget to pull his punches. That's what almost happened the first day Eddy and Mec- Laglen “worked out” together. The over-eager Eddy zoomed an uppercut that Vic barely dodged. After that Vic turned tutor-- showing his partner how to put him to sleep, for the movies, less painfully. sk X R "4 . i
