Hollywood Sights Axd Sounds &y Bobbia Cosas HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June 17.—The glamorous scrub-lady, Myrna Loy, sat on the couch in her portable dressing room and sipped a soft-drink from a bottle. Out in front of the camera the glamorous hero—Tyrone Power—stood in a hospital corridor and went through his business with a bottled soft-drink in hand. Rehearsal time. Let-up time. Afternoon time, with a couple or maybe three hours to go before everybody could g0 home, “It’s a good role for me, a grand role,” said the scrub-lady, whose red hair was bound in a pale blue cloth, and whose dress wa rub-lady style, pale blue with apron. “First time you've been a real meanie since ‘The Animal King- dom,” isn't it?” “Uh-huh. Funny thing, when I read the book (“The Rains Came’) I didn't think of myself in it at all. Maybe I thought, ‘Grand part! but that was all. It didn't register as a part for me. So I was more surprised than anybody else when Da.:y! Zanuck ‘Phoned and said he'd like me for it. My husband (Arthur Horn- blow, Jr,, the Paramount producer) objected violently at first to my doing it. So did Bill Powell (he is the Loy reel husband in their ‘Thin Man’ adventures) who laughted and laughed and said, ‘Why, Myrna, you can’'t—I wont’ have it? How Bill Powell feels about it now is not on record, but Pro- ducer Hornblow is reconciled. “The girl is selfish and wilful and ruthless,” said Myrna, “but the reason is that she’s always questing for something she hasn't been able to find. She’s understandable, hence not wholly un- sympathetic. And she is regenerated before she dies—this is her regeneration costume. She’s working in the hospital, scrubbing floors and doing menial chores, anything to help out after the earthquake. I like the part.” The scrub-lady was called to the camera. She took up her scrub-pail, marched into action. She was still the most glamorous scrub-lady I ever saw. You have heard of embarrassing moments on the stage. The routine hazards of lost lines, props failing to work, costumes dis- [ e SSSIS Sy Whatever the Weather.. You'll be sure to find just what will “hit the spot” on the Luncheon and Dinner menus af — o PERCY’S integrating before the eyes of a hilarious audierice, things pale before the Gethsemane of young John Beal. John was a star of the play “Soliloquy” last season—one of All these the Broadway year’s least happy stillborns. John had faith in the production, which gave him his first departure from straight lead- ing man roles. It made him a killer, a weakling—and its tech- nique was novel: the star’s thoughts audible to the audience via movie sound track. The production in San Francisco and Los Angeles tryouts went off beautifully, reaped critical bouquets, in- cluding one from this corner. Beal and company (his wife, Helen Craig, was co-star) set forth hopefully for Broadway. The dress rehearsal, at 5 o'clock before opening night, went off beautifully too. Opening night. Curtain. And the sound-track BARKED. It barked and growled and hissed. And along in the third act it died entirely. There was Beal, who had recorded those “thoughts” three months before and practically forgotten them, left on the stage with no cues for the lines he knew. Stage floors never open mercifully, so Johnny dug deep in memory and plowed up for- gotten lines, serving as his own sound track. He thought, hopefully, that 18 curtains calls afterward signi- fied audience forgiveness for the sound track. He took, next day, a critical drubbing somewhat like that of Leslie Howard’s “Hamlet.” He still thinks he had a good play, but is cured forever of sound-track drama. Somebody, he is sure, will click with the idea. “But the experience,” he grins, “was priceless. After that night, nothing can feaze me.” | same name, which opens Sunday | are at the Coliseum Theatre Recommends Billion Dol- ' 1t is e story of the succe country | ELKS' DANCEIS | / -~ Matinee SUNDAY 2:00 P.M.
