Juneau, July 26.—Sunrise, sunset, 8:3¢ p.m. Hollywood Sights And Sounds By fshbie Cosms HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July 25.—When and if the producers get around to checking up on “waste” in their necessarily erratic industry, I hope they’'ll take stock of the human goods they blind- ly consign to, practically speaking, the shelf. And there’s no better example of wasted talents in town than is afforded by the story of Walter Abel Here’s an actor proved not only on stage but on screen. After one unhappy experience in Hollywood, lured from the stage but kept idle, he tried again. It was unfortunate that his return was as D'Artagnan in RKO's re-make of “The Three Musketeers,” be- cause hes not exactly the swashbuckling type He did what he could with that role, more than justified his stage reputation as the vigorous attorney in Spencer Tracy's film, “Fury.” At RKO he went not only to the B’s, but to “Second Wife,” such a bad B that it drew crowds—to laugh at and hiss and cheer everything in it. Fun for the audiences, but tough for Abel Since then, always ably, Abel has filled leading roles in secondary films, or secondary roles in better films, and nobody has given him a chance to repeat his “Fury” hit. The other evening, arriving early at a preview, I sat through most of a little quickie which was obviously a revamping of the “Boys Town” theme. Abel was the star, and he was doing a good job with the part and the dialogue handed him. But no actor can survive too many snicker-flickers. Abel has had more than his share of them. ... Gregory Ratoff, of all pipple, has gone prima donna. ... Closed sets on “Intermezzo” the other day. ...

Henry Fonda will be Tom Joad in “The Grapes of Wrath,” with John Ford, the right man for the job, directing. . . . Randolph Scott was shoot- ing up the Bella Union saloon for a scene in “Frontier Marshal” and the man on the sidelines, wincing, was Marvin Sutton, special props expert. . . . Sutton had worked a month building the 30- odd “eld” lamps Scott riddled in one quick take.... For more than 20 years he has been making period lamps for movies. The forgotten woman, Sigrid Gurie, is being remembered because of her work in “The Forgotten Woman.” ...
