Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Cuoss HOLLYWOCD, Cal, May 11.—The not-so-Ancient Order of Halt Callers today will hear an address from Mansfield, Ohio, where D. W. takes the platform to rake the movies over the coals: “. .. Lots of things about the movies get my goat. For in- stance: those gosh-awful trailers. . . . It's even happened to me that the trailers were run between each feature on a double bill. . . . “Then there's too much bad English on the screen. I've heard a person who was supposed to be educated say ‘It's me’ instead of ‘It’s I' when knocking on a door. And ‘who’ is often used for ‘whom.’” It seems to me the high moguls would realize what an opportunity they have to teach good grammar. . . . “It riles me when someone is supposed to have peeled a lot of potatoes, then calmly does something else without even wiping the hands. Hands need to be washed after that. . . . And how I'd like to see just once a person who is starving sit down to a good meal and eat, instead of getting interested in the conversa- tion. . . . And why do they light a cigarette, take one or two puffs, then tamp it out? . “And how silly it is when the hero, or someone else, gets seriously injured then a short time later licks his weight in wild- cats—without even ‘favoring’ his injury. . . . “I'm tired of seeing the casts in furs to their eyes, and snow and ice all around, but never a bit of vapor coming from their noses or mouths. . . . I'm tired of seeing old ladies or housewives of another century with perfectly manicured nails. . . . Also poor shop girls. . . . I think a real actress would see that her hands were in character. . . . In the movie on the life of Stephen Foster, his wife had red nails in the 1840's or 1850's! (In spite of that I'd like to see it again—enjoyed it so much.) . .. “I've known quite a few people and have never heard anyone 3 things are necessary for full dining enjoyment: Good food, atten- tive, courteous service and pleasant surroundings-you'll find all 3 in greatest measure at— PERCY’S yell ‘Operator! Operator!” into the 'phone. They always wait until asked, then give the number. . . . T wish the telephone would keep on ringing until someone answers it. It rings a time or two, then waits until the screen person answers.” (Nice, considerate tele- phopes we have in the movies!) D. W. isn’t through yet. She goes on: “We know many of the players are getting up in years, but I think we rather like to he fooled just a little. No, I think we like reality, but want it as pretty as possible. “With the truly wonderful jobs of make-up done sometimes, I think Hollywood should hang its head in shame at the ‘black eyes' it produces. We see someone get socked on the jaw or chin then turn up with lamp-black smeared all around his wide- open eye!” After “all this, it's heartless to add another charge against Hollywood’s account—but I wonder if others are sick and tired of those ghostly reunions in the fadeouts. MacDonald and Eddy died in " buf their ghosts walked through the blossoming orch: Astaire in “The Castles” crashes to death, but Ginger Rogers sees his “ghost” dancing to the fadeout. Even so fine a piece as “Wuthering Heights” used this hackneyed stunt to “unite” the shades of Oberon and Olivier. Enough! S e 'OCEAN FLIERS LEARNING J0B, LAND STATION SOUTHAMPION, May 11. — A group of men in a small room over- looking the docks here are learning to fly the Atlantic. They are officers who will handle the British flying-boat service this summer between Southampton via Foynes and Montreal. The men have charts in front of them and a continuous stream of radio messages from ships and both sides of the Atlantic brings information about the weather. These are used to plan imaginary voyages, avoiding bad weather zones by changing: course or.flying dif- ferent altitudes.
