M. e ) Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. 9—In a community that abounds in faney, high-sounding names, I couldn't believe in the existence of a real living Paul Jones. Plain Paul Jones, nothing else. He's here, though. And he hasn’t changed it to Pablo von Jones, or Paul de Jones. Or Paulus van der Jones. It's plain Paul Jones. He's a producer. He's been in pictures 24 years. He's been everything, practically, there is to be in pictures. He spent his last nickel, actually, to get in pictures. That was for carfare when he decided, came noon one day in the shoestore where he was clerking, that he gouldn't stand shoes any longer. The nickel took him to a movie studio, where he got work as an extra. He turned to “propping,” gag-writing, assistant-directing (with all the big ones) and then-writing. He's a producer, which is a miracle in itself—because he be- came one after recommending the story which developed into Paramount’s finest picture and one of its more impressive box-office failures. “T'd read the novel by Josephine Lawrence called “The Years Are So Long’ and I was crazy to produce it—only I wasn’t a producer,” he relates. “So I told Leo McCarey about it, and he made it A grand. picture, but not a popular one. After’that, I got plenty of black looks about; the lot and hesitated to show my face there, but it turned out all right for me in spite of all.” (For McCarey, too, as witness “The Awful Truth,” “Love Affair,” ete.) Plain Paul Jones lives in a nice little house in the valley and THat's the reception charming hostessess glive thoughtful guests who bring gifts of delicious. Van Duyn Candies. Little attentions make you a "must come" guest. Try it} Percy’s " exclusively VAN DUYN CHOCOLATE SHOPS has a wife and an 18-months-old daughter for whom he goes toy-shapping at intervals. He'’s dieting at present on account of the daughter—he had some pictures taken with her and he didn’t like his waistline. Afraid, I guess, his daughter will see those snaps some day and think Daddy was a producer like the ones in the cartoons. Paul Jones is producing, at present, an epic called “Untamed.” He's enthusiastic about it—"hokey,” he says, “but we're using real snow for three reels. Shooting in an ice-stage, where you have to wear a fur coat or you catch pneumonia. T wouldn't have taken the story if we hadn't been able to use real snow.” Paul Jones (no descendant of John Paul Jones, whose life he'd like to film) has a middle name--Meredith=-but he doesn't use it. He hails from Bristol, Tenn. Which is enough, for the present, about Plain Paul Jones. “Lee Shippey is one of those rare newspapermen who don't talk about writing novels. Lee just writes them. His latest (“If We Only Had Money”) is about Hollywood—and for a composite picture of Hollywood, as it is, without caricature or satire, you can't do better than read it. Shippey’s hero is a young, very poor writer who thinks what the title implies. He lands a movie contract and he learns—as so many writers before him have learned—about money as it is in Hollywood. He also learns what money and the movies can do to a person. ¢ And in this theme Shippey has caught one of the major 7:00 pam. - 9‘“?" was wrong. (It wasn't!) LUBRICATION fOMPANY - tragedies of the town. You can read it (if you prefer it factually) in the news stories about Hollywood bankruptcies.
