HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 31.—Rouben Mamoulian, the di- rector, came back to his office between sessions of musical scoring on “Golden Boy,” and he started talking, right away, about musi- cal backgrounds in'pictures. “I think we’ve got something interesting here,” the tall, black- haired young director behind the big horn rim specks said. “You know the story—the boy who is both violinist and prizefighter. We're putting the conflicts into the score—the themes of fine violin music alternating or fighting with the oom-pa-oom-pa of jazz, representing Manhattan life into which the boy 1s thrown.” We got from. there into the importance of musical accom- paniments to pictures, and I found Mamoulian ranged on the side of those who like their screen music to fit and not to cover. “There’s dramatic effect,” he said, “in the use of music. But there’s just as great drama in silence. Reminds me of the story of the old lighthouse-keeper who lived alone in his tower. Every morning at three o'clock a shore cannon would boom. The old man slept right through it. But one morning at three he woke up with a start. ‘The cannon didn’t go off,’ he cried. 'What's the matter!” “When I have an important scene I don’t want the audience to follow, even subconsciously, a musical theme—I want them to be entirely attentive to that scene, its action, its dialogue.” Mamoulian, by the way, brought in “Golden Boy” four days under schedule—as if in answer to the criticism that ‘arose on his overtime with another film he'd prefer to forget called “High, Wide and Handsome.” The feat is the more remarkable when it is remembered that he had, in the title role, a boy of 21 who P ERCY’S * IS BETTER THAN EVER NOW — MORE MODERN MORE ATTRACTIVE — INSIDE AND OUT AND EVEN THE FOOD IS BET- TER T00! had never faced a camera for a real acting asslanmgnt before ‘Mamoulian picked him for the part, -- The director opines that young Bjll Holden dld a grand job and has a real future in films. Provided, I think he might have added but didn’t, that Paramount does right by Bill on its share of his contract with Columbia. Offhand, T’d say the prospects were not too promising. Holden’s first film for Paramount, from whpse obscure stock ranks Mamoulian snatched him, will be “Golden Gloves,” which looks like an obvious attempt to cash in quickly on his “Golden Boy” exploitation. The boys has had, however, as Mamoulian did point out, & “preak” to maintain Hollywood’s fame as Cinderellaland for years to come. “In the Caucasus,” says Rouben, “where I come from the babies are consistently brunettes. The arrival of a blonde baby in any home there is heralded and sung about, and the child is called a ‘golden baby,” one destined for great things. Bill Holden, if he'd been born there instead of in O'Fallon, Til, would have been a ‘golden baby.” For there was no reason why an obscure stock player at Para- mount should have been singled out for a major starring role, no reason other than freakish chance. Bill Holden made a test with a girl. It was the girl’s test, not his. The girl’s test, with others, was sent for Mamoulian's in- spection to fill a lesser role in his picture, The girl didn't get the role, but Mamoulian found in Holden what he hadn’t been able to find in months of search—his “Golden Boy.” There is no substitute for 'Newspaper Atlvertising . &> ie ‘ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1939.
