Some months ago a young Episcopalian minister from Min- nesota came to town and tried to interest the major studios in his conviction that a good religious picture, if entertaining, would be a good bet The¢ Rev.

And the other day, the Cinderella movie went to the ball. Darryl Zanuck, a Prince Charming in power if not in beauty, picked up the slipper. And “The Great Commandment,” bought by Zanuck's com- pany, may emerge as a colossal—either elaborated or entirely re- made, with the original film withheld from release. The plans are not yet definite in this respect. What is definite is that the minister and his associates have reaped a nice profit on the deal and will assist in the revision, whatever form it takes. Principal “fault” of the movie in its present form is con- sidered the lack of star names. an admitted commercial handi- cap. Premonitory shudders &% what might happen (as long as 20th's immortal threesome of Power-Faye-Ameche are available) are calmed somewhat by the reflection that the Rev.

The star-name ‘argument may seem rather odd when you glance at the cast of “Grapes of Wrath,” now under way in dogged secrecy on the same Zanuck’s lot. Aside from Henry Fonda, a growing draw but not at last re- ports near the “first ten” in box-office power, there isn't a real “name” in the lot. Here’s a picture which has been cast to type rather than to put a few contract people to work. Excellent actors all—Jane Darwell, Charley Grapewin, Zeffie Tilbury, John Carradine, Russell Simpson, John Qualen, Eddie Quillan, Dorris Bowdon—but scarcely a marquee-decorator among them. “The Great Commandment’s” experience suggests a startling possibility in the film story world. Lillie Messinger, RKO story editor, told me of her recent experience with a man who thought his adventures in world travel should entitle him to a place on the studio writing list. Miss Messinger, who is tender-hearted, had difficulty convincing him that his incidents, however interesting, could have no film value unless they were inorporated into dramatic story form. She was, of course, quite right. But think what an easy “out” would be a story editor’s if he could say, “Go write your story AND make it into a movie— then we'll consider it.” That is what the young . minister had to do—and he did it! " POLLY AND HER PALS For Blockers On Gridiron NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The 1939 crop of blocking backs has done a lot to further impress upon the av- | erage fan the importance of their punishing job. | | Check the list of the nation's leading football g achines and you'll find an outstanding blocker on ev- |ery one of them. Michigan, with | Tom Harmon running wild and For- |est Evashevski helping him alo provides one of the year's best ex- amples Harmon-—and Michigan—went hog | wild during the early season. Mich- igan State, Iowa, Chicago and Yale tumbled before the Wolverines | Then Evashevski, the blocking back, was injured. Oftbeaten Tllinois, then | Minnesota, trampled Michigan—and | hogtied Harmon—before Evashevski came back into the lineup. Har- mon, Evashevski and Co. promptly did away with Pennsylvania and Ohio State. Harmon's recognized as a great back, but the greatest of them need a start—and that's what the blocker gives them Walter Matuszeak of Cornell is another example. The Big Red team rolled along handsomely with their ace blocker working but had trou- ble with both Colgate and Colum- bia when he was out of action. He came back and Cornell steam-rol- lered Dartmouth and Penn. Sam Bartholomew, Tennesse cap- tain, leads the way for those bril- liant Volunteer backs and Texas A and M. has its Jim Thomason.

STAR ATHLETIC RIDES ON BENCH FOR ODD REASON| | LEWISTON, Idaho, Dec. 7.—He's a very handy lad to have around a | football team, because he passes, runs and kicks with more than or-| dinary ability, and triple-threat halfbacks never have been a dime a dozen. But Delmer Owens is not playing football at Lewiston High School because he’s an orphan The husky Owens lad is a baseball | star, too—he pitched 2' consecutive | innings of shutout ball and allowed | just one run in four straight games. | But he had to sit on the bench when the Lewiston American Le- gion Juniors played in the state tournaament—because he was an or- | phan. | Delmar lost his football eligibility | when he left the North Idaho Chil- dren’s Home to try to make his ow-n‘ living.
