Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Feb. 14—After all these 70 years the truth about the Union Pacific railroad has “outed.” The truth is that the cld boys who built it needed the sage, hard-driving direc- tion of A Cecil-the-DeMille. Let’s not quibble. Let's admit, right off, that they got it built. It's down in history (unless the DeMille has changed that since the last time T peeked) that on & day in 1869 the panting wood- burners of the rival cross-country roads met and kissed none too affectionate noses at a spot in Utah called Promontory. On that occasion, too, it is recorded that the Mes: Leland Stanford, C. P. Huntington, Mark Hopkins of the Central Pacific took part in emonies of spike-driving with officials of the Union Pacific. the old boys did get it done—and without the DeMille. But think how much faster, how much better . on second thought, don't think of it. Go, instead, to location at Canoga Park—some 20 miles from Hollywood—and watch the Master bring History to life This, believe me, is colossal and gigantic—and, incidentally, interesting. Worthy, indeed, of the four or five cameras sed on it. THE camera, the one on the big crane, is the one Sc very foc THE DeMille s at, loudspeaker to mouth, barking. For a man who has just taken up his stretcher and walked,—collapse from the strain of a mighty movie titan's worries—DeMille has a healthy bark. The Central Pacific's JUPITER, on the left with the over- sized smokestack, is as gaily decorated with pre-Victorian art and bunting as is the Union Pacific’s “119.” The U. P.s Irish are as typical as the C. P.'s Chinese laborers. The tall-hatted officials and the hoop-skirted, bonnetted ladies, the befeathered, blanketed Indians make a pleasingly authentic foreground. With those low hills in the background (not California’s best but they suit his- t { ! \ * - | ahighspotinyourday... ' N : That's luncheon time at PERCY’S.

DeMille’s crew are seeing to it that the rest of the foreground, inconsider- ately left bare by nature and Canoga Park, is right too. They're planting tumbleweeds and scrub cedar, and they're spraying the white earth with darkening paint to kill its glare. Enough for “Union Pacific,” Let's take up DeMille. They say it's an act. If so, somebody ought to tell him the act is sour. "It is No Lenger Cute. Whoever writes his script of abuse, sarcasm, and public ridicule of his underlings should get a note from him, but won't—because I'm afraid C. B. thinks it all up himself. Now I don't know Charlie, don't even know who he is, except that he was trying to obey the DeMille’s instructions about having a rail laid in place for the scene. Showman DeMille kept barking —via loudspeaker, mind you—about how slow, Charlie was, and what did Charlie think he was doing? I don’t know Charlie, but my blood boils still, thinking of him. I do know Akim Tamiroff. Akim is a star. The great Cecil barked at him too. Akim was talking, the center of a little group, when C. B. was talking too. Via loudspeaker. C. B. loudspoke, asking desistence. “I can't compete with so great an artist,” said C. B., chuckling. For this highly quotable line, a chuckle. For Charlie—also intended for quotation, make no mistake—no chuckle. DeMille, T am sure, thinks his behavior makes good copy. It always has. But me—I'm sick of the benign, omnipotent god DeMille of the legend, the lovable, heart-of-gold despot of the sets. Somehow my sense of humor fails me. just isn’t amusing any more?
