HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 31.—Educational, these vaecations. This one of mine was spent far away from it all. Little Ohio farm, where the snow came one night and left the countryside a miracle of cold white and black, bare trees. The folks had heard of Hollywood. Sometimes, even, they went to pictures. They liked Mickey Rooney and they remembered Ann Sothern and they were awfully sorry to hear about Doug Fairbanks. ‘Sudden, wasn't it?” they said. And “Too bad—he made a lot of good pictures.” # Most of the people I met (and they were city people from ‘'way back) planned to see “Gone With the Wind” when they got around to it—but there were one or two who thought they'd prefer it trimmed down to sitting-size before they'd undertake to mosey over for a look-see. Nobody, much, talked about pictures, except to evince polite interest in my work out here. Noboedy cared that Sam Goldwyn was feuding with United Artists—in faet, I doubt that anybody had heard about it. Here in Hollywood, though, that controversy is “colossal” and fraught with import. It’s very important to Sam, and to United Artists, and to Warner Bros., but to the people that Jay it on the box- office line it’s a bore—as it should be. Back here, it's hot stuff that Sam, with a UA contract until 1945, has been supposed to be looking for “outsde” release on his big western—with WB the outsider on the inside track. Back thee, the ydon’t give a hang OME/!

Back in this land of perpetual sunshine (where it's raining and greyer than the morning after) it's hard to catch up on the Hollywood parade. There was a supercolossal umpty-ump gala premiere too, of this “Gone With the Wind” thing—a premiere to end premieres, they say, but I know they're being optimistic about that. And the new picture to see, they all tell me, is “Of Miee and Men,” although there are some raves too for Bob Mont- gomery’s new one, “The Earl of Chicago.” And, oh, yes, “Gulliver’s Travels.” Looking over the interesting pieces done for me by tender- hearted friends among the screen writers, I find a quick alibi necessary along with thanks to them. Several of the guest cen- tributors to this space threw in sly suggestions that turn-about is fair play, ie., they having obliged Coons, Coons should pinch- hit for them in such simple matters as (1)—contributing a song lyric to Mr. Frank Loesser, (2)—sketching up a Jack Benny skit for Messrs. Eddie Beloin and Bill Morrow, and (8)—doing a novel or two for Florence Ryeérson and Colin Clements. These of course, would be simple matters for this deartment, and I would be happy to take a few moments after lunch to dash off the required pieces. However, I'll be blind before the week is out—blind from catching up on those new movies, and the newer ones whch keep coming up. Blind, I ean’t write (1) seng, , or (2) skit, or (3) novel, but I can say “Thanks a lot—it was good of you.” B e e I
