L i B it B B 3 i s i MACHINISTS LOCAL 514 ODD FELLOWS' HALL Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbla Coom HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 10.—Shake hands today with a man who has been all washéd up—by Hollywood—twice before but is about to have the last chuckle. His name is Richard Dix. “Great star in his day.” That's what they said about him ten years ago. And “Yes, but his day’s done,” they always added. That was just before Richard Dix made his real bid for fame in a little thing called “Cimarron.” It hrought him back from the laundry and suddenly he wasn't all washed up any more. He was hot stuff. About three years ago friend Rick made his customary trip to the local tul Again he was due to be all washed up. The pic- tures after “Cimarron” had been steadily less potent; it looked like a fade-out for Dix when RKO, probably cherishing past memories, signed him up again for a series of minor films. - And it looked like last farewell when word got around that Dix, before resigning himself to decrepitude at the ripe old age of 44, was going to hobble out to little Republic studios in the valley and make a picture. That was where the laugh, which is now Rick’s, came in. The picture is “Man of Conquest,” the story of fighting Sam Houston the Texas hero, and it is not only Dix's bid for a comeback but Republic’s bid for recognition as a major film factory, Which means that they are shooting the works—to the tune of $1,000,000 just like a Metro or a Paramount or a 20th—and Dix can't lose. It’s true that Dix turned down the seript in its first form, eve’n‘ forrrrrrreere S e cherchez la femme? but yes, Monsieur, we know where to find ‘her. If she's a smart girl she's having her breakfast at Q’;ercq’s though he's been wanting to play Sam Houston for years. But he reached for it quickly when the script was revised, and if there’s a happier actor in town today I haven't found him. Dix is a student of Houston, claims to know more about him than most people hereabouts. They have Edward Ellis (“A Man to Remember”) as Andrew Jackson, Houston’s friend, and Joan Fontaine and Gail Patrick as the two romantic interests in Houston’s life. They have already done the big “spectacle” scenes—the battle of the Alamo mission and the battle of San Jacinto, in which Houston aefeated Mexican general-dictator Santa Anna and won the war for Texan inde- pendence. They have even forgotten (almost) the incident of the upside-down Lone Star flag which, later discovered in completed battle scenes, had fo be rectified at a cost of $25,000.

(Rick wore the skin off his legs, and only recently has resumed sitting down with comparative comfort.) The director is George Nicholls, Jr., the same who “discovered” Anné Shirley for “Anne of Green Gables,” since has made Re- public’s two best pictures, as well as a flock for RKO, and now is entrusted with the future not only of Dix but of Republic. ey re General Electric
