TWO FEATURES FLASH GORDON-—NEWS CANDY Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons. HOLLYWOOD, Cal.,, Sept. 1.—There'll be war by September— on the screen. Come to think of it, there’s pretty nearly always war on the sereen. And that’s odd, because if you ask your average movie producer about war pictures for profit, he'll say, “War pictures? They're out!” Two of the biggest studios don’t think so, however. Warner Bros. and 20th Century-Fox are involved in a race to be the first to “take a beating” with a war story. Practically, in fact, the same war story. Darryl Zanuck’s plant is planning a film about the life of Father Duffy, the famous priest of the famous “Fighting 69th.” Jack Warner's plant is planning a film about the famous “Fight- ing 69th”—that's the title—which will include, naturally, the char- acter of Father Duffy. They're both being rather secretive about i, which is cus- tomary among studios planning to make the same story into pictures. But this I know: William Keighley, who is to direct the Warner's “Fighting 69th,” isn't afraid of the war-picture taboo. “It's not war petures the public doesn't like,” he sticks by his guns, “it’s bad war pictures. The same goes for musicals. There were some good ones, and all the studios rushed in to make others—but bad ones. Now they say that musicals are dead. One good musical would revive the craze.” Keighley is a tall, slim, immaculate young fellow who came from the stage # few years ago—as a dialogue director—and soon found himself directing some of Warner’s biggest movies and stars, Oddly, for a stage fellow, he has drawn mainly the roar- ing action assignments: “Valley of the Giants,” “The G-Men,” “Special Agent.” That's because, in love with the camera, he likes to use it—to put action into such one-room affairs with dialogue PERCY’S IS BETTER THAN EVER NOW — MORE MODERN MORE ATTRACTIVE — INSIDE AND OUT AND EVEN THE F0OD IS BET- TER TO0O! as “Brother Rat.” “The Fighting 69th,” story ef that New York regiment which got across with the Rainbow Division first, and sporting James Cagney, Pat O'Brién and George Brent in top roles, will be action most of the way—and neo shying from war stuff. Keighley just made a prison picture, “Each Dawn I Die,” and he throws that into the no-war-movies argument. “People said the public was tired of prison pictures, t0o,” he says, “and maybe they were, but that oné has been doing all right. We tried fo make it a ‘different’ kind of prisoh picture. We got away from studying San Quentin afd Folsom for our backgrounds. I wanted a different prison so badly that I took a trip on my own to Stillwater, Minn., the site of the prison used, in some respects, in Jerome Odlum’s fictional story. We used the physical layout of Stillwater prison ih. our story, its no-talking rules, its twine mill, although in the picture we make it cléar that Stillwater is NOT the scene of our stofy. The story is one that could happen in any prison but actually has happeried no- where. At any rate, the public seems to be liking the picture— and it's one of the prison stories it was supposed to be tired of.” On the war theme, backing the Kéighley-Warner-Zanuck view, were such speetacular movie successes as “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “The Big Parade,” “What Price Glory,?” “Jour- ney's End,” “Hell's Angels"—all concerned direetly with the World War—tossay nothig of the scorés of hits.made by films dealing with other conflicts.
