NOW 2 AL — THE SHOE DOCTOR 278 S. Franklin—(Formerly BIG VAN'S) Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbia Cevms HOLLYWOOD, Cal., May 22—Francis Abella’s public will be happy to know that Francis and Johh Tio, his protegé, will not be parted on the screen. Francis Abella is sure zis public will be happy—so sure that he warded off the blanishments of movie gold and stood firm on his demand: No Francis, no John. The subsequent proceedings almost disrupted production on the outdoor set where less important mutters like the squelching of the Moro insurrection (the Philippines, 1900) were in progress. Director Henry Hathaway was putting some American troops through their farewell paces for the camera when Francis and John, accompanied by their agent, arrived. They had reported on the set because the word was out that Hathaway could use a talented bird in “The Real Glory.” As Francis later pointed out to me, “I am Francis—and John Tio is the bird—an African grey King parrot. We have been together for 14 years.” Of the two John Tio is the prettier, with his powder-blue chassis and his bright red tail and complacent, tolerant eyes, but Francis is the nattier. Francis is a Filipino, with a flair for dress. He and John Tio are in vaudeville. Hathaway came over and said, “I hear you've gut a bird.” “Sure,” said John Tio. Hathaway jumped, just a trifle, and you could see that he was “sold.” He asked, “Could he talk like that in our picture—you e ———— ttdoesn’t matter.... which side of the bed you get out . .. after a breakfast at Percy's you're sure to be sef for a big, glorious day . . . PERCY’S see, we want a bird like that to work with Gary Cooper and David Niven. Cooper gives him to Niven for a present, and—" “But Mr. Hathaway,” said Francis Abella, “you take away my life!” Hathaway jumped again. How come? “We work together,” explained Francis. “In vaudeville—we are together 14 years. My public see John, they must see mé t0o.” “But it would be several weeks’ work. Great break for the bird,” objected Hathaway. “If I could just be in the scene with him—a valet, a servant, but just near him,” said Francis stolidly. “We can't write you in—we've got our story already. We could use you, yes, as a Filipino soldier, a sefgeant may be. . . ." “No,” said Francis Abella, “my public. . . .” After Hathaway had rehearsed another scene he came back, calling Niven and Broderick Crawford. He signaled Francis for a demonstration. “Would you like to work with Mr. Niven, John?" coaxed Francis. “Sure,” said John. Niven jumped two feet. Crawford called for a double-brandy-quick. And how did John like going out with the girls? “Whoopee!” said John. John also obediently demon- strated how Jimmy Durante says “Hot-cha-cha!” and how Bing Crosby croons and how John (himself) whistles “In a Little Span- ish Town.” By this time half the company and crew were gathered around, and Hathaway's directorial eye was lusting for the bird. “I'll tell you what,” said Hathaway, “I'll give you one scene— you'll have to dress like a real Filipino.” Francis Abella thought it over. “Sure!” said John Tio frem his cage. “Sure!” echoed Francis Abella. but jealous Ines, and after a series of | thrilling and beautifully romantic episodes the picture ends on a sur prise not which left last night's audience with a lump in its throat.

A sweeping canvas, paint- ed with bold and fiery strokes, it will thrill every American who is interested in the men who rebuilt the country after the national dis- aster of a “brothers’ war.” An all-star cast, headed by such favorites as Randolf Scott, Joan Bennett, May Robson, Walter Bren- nan, Robert Cummings and Harvey Stephens, the vivid scenic back- ground of the Texas plains and the direction of James Hogan, who will be remembered as the chief of “Ebb Tide,” combine to give this broad theme the screen treatment it de- serves. The prostrate post-bellum South provides the setting for the story. Defeated in war and weakened by | four years of back-breaking sacri- fice, it is prevented from getting back on its feet by a gang of the most miserable men ever to appear on the American scene—the carpet- baggers, Northern adventurers who descended on the South after the peace and took advantage of the turbulent conditions to make for- tunes for themselves at the expense | of the impoverished natives. Hated by the Southerners and despised by all decent Northerners, their life- | | and-death struggle with the Texans | makes a screen story that will not | be quickly forgotten.
