Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Gobiin Coom HOLLYWOOD, Cal., June 28 —It was Jack Haley who used to say his face was on the cutting-room floor so much he got fan mail from the janitor. The crack is applicable—seriously—to all stars. It doesn't hurt them the way it hurts the extras and bit-players who made the cutting-room floor famous, but hundreds of feet of Garbo and Lombard and Gable and Flynn and Davis get snipped from every picture they make. The cutters know there can be too much of a good thing, even if the directors—sometimes—don't. The most disheartening experience any actor can have is to work through a picture in a good role, take a party of friends to the preview, and wait for himself to come on the screen—wait and wait until “The End” and still in vain. Lya Lys was forewarned about “Confesssions of a Nazi Spy,” Lya had the feminine lead, but on the screen hers was a don't- blink part. Not her fault, either. The role she played was that of a figure in the espionage trial who was NOT convicted—a figure who had grounds for suit if she were depicted. The Warners sheared her out—and unfortunately, snipped the Lys debut. Between casting office and screen there’s many a slip. Mar- got Stevenson was one. Last time I saw her and wrote about her she was playing opposite John Garfield in “Dust Be My Des- tiny.” Next time I heard, she was “out” and all her film scrapped s0 Priscilla Lane could step in. I liked Margot, but I don’t make pictures. The Warners didn’t like her, so they sent her back to Goldwyn with a “groom-your-own-star” note. Margot was the last to know, which is a commentary on studio courtesy. There was heartbreak for Marie Wilson in that “Rose of Food Can Be More Than Food . Pleasant surroundings combined with courteous service and taste- ful preparation makes ealing a delight “PERCY’S Washington Square” business, to0. Marie worked on the picture but midway they replaced her with Joyce Compton. Studio version is that Marie was too “modern” for the period involved. ‘The other side—which I believe—is that Marie was too derned good and stole too much attention from Alice Faye. Buddy Ebsen started in “The Wizard of Oz” but Jack Haley (of janitor fan mail fame) finished his role. Ebsen's illness ousted him. Illness, incidentally, is the most common cause for such substitutions. Sometimes a player goes out, after finishing a role, on the grounds that he is “unnecessary.” (That’s what happened to Warren Hymer in “Tailspin,” which could have used a little of his comedy.) The most noted instance of a wholesale snipping job on a player is still what happened to Zasu Pitts in “All Quiet on the Western Front.” In long-range effect, it is perhaps also the most tragic. Zasu made a touching dramatic film hit in von Stro- heim’s “Greed” but in talkies her comedy talents overtook her and chained her in their groove. “All Quiet” was to have been her emanipation proclamation—but the audiences laughed and they re-shot the role with Beryl Mercer. Zasu went back to comedy and has been there since. Margot Stevenson, Lya Lys, Marie Wilson will forget, in time, their cutting-room debacles. But Zasu, barring a miracle of cast- ing, will never again pitch woo at the Tragic Muse. | Mr. William Markle. Mrs. A. J. Goodman will play the organ, and she will also sing “Ave Maria” at the ceremony. Following the services a wedding breakfast will be held for members of the bridal party at the Calhoun Avenue residence of Mrs. Crocken. Both Miss Lynch and Mr. Moore are well known here and plan to make their home in the city. Mr. Moore is an employee of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company. | - - Public Shower Given} For Miss Helen Allen At Treadwell Beach Complimentary to Miss Helen Al- len, who will soon become the bride of William Hixson, Miss Thelma Bodding and Miss Helen Junes were co-hostesses last evening with a surprise picnic and miscellaneous shower. | Approximately thirty guests gath- | ered at Treadwell Beach for a 7 o'clock picnic dinner and the hon- oree opened many lovely gifts dur- ing the evening. | Those invited to be present for | the occasion included Mrs. Roy Al- !len, mother of the bride-elect, Mrs. | Olaf Bodding, Mrs, Joe Werner,| Mrs. Robert Henning, Mrs. Wilson | Foster, Mrs. John Halm, Mrs. Jos- | eph Sellikan, Mrs. Gene Covey, Mrs. | | Fred Axford, Mrs. Robert Stoft, Mrs. | Sigrid Walthers, Mrs. Clifford Berg, Mrs. John Whitely, Mrs. Roland | Lindquist, Blanche Thorgerson, | Chede Paul, Corrine Duncan, Rondi | Molver, Clara Walther, Clara Car- | penter, Sybil Godfrey, Dorothy {Whittaker, Margery Whittaker, |Merle Biggins, Betty Haviland, | Claudia Kearney, Dorothy Bertholl, | Geraldine Bodding, Lynn Bodding, and Patsy Walthers.
