HOLLYWOOD, Cal.,, Feb. 12.—Eddie Cantor and gir] stuck together threugh the yea his jokes about his daughters. Eddie Cantor has girls—forty of 'em—in his new pictur in two and a half years. The title is “Forty Little Mother: therein lies the difference. The girls in the previous Cantor musical spetcacles were danc- ing girls. These, now, are school girls — and the picture isn't musical although Eddie sings a couple of songs. It's straight, human-interst comedy. No choruses, no big “production” numbers, no half-million-dollar sets. Just Cantor, playing a character who isn't Cantor and the forty school girls, and a baby. It's a story Eddie likes He saw it first, on a visit to New York with his wife Ida, when they dropped into a movie house. “Forty Little Mothers,” a French film, was playing. Eddie fell in love with it, asked M-G-M to buy it for him. His long film inactivity the rapidly-grieving Eddie explains this way: “I could’'ve made a picture every six months all this time if I hadn’t been particular about the picture. But when a man has a family, he likes to have the family speak to him after the preview,” —they've in his screen works as well as in . first and Those who don't remember all the grief over the Hedy La- marr-Spencer Tracy picture, “I Take This Woman,” won't get the chuckle a Pasadena sneak preview audience did over this mis- hap. The picture was made, shelved, and a year later remade virtually in its entirety. The preview showing was preceded by a newsreel of the Rose Bowl football game. The reel was cut short with a Southern California touchodwn, and “I Take This Perecy’s exclusively Woman" flashed out. The newsreel announcer, however, stayed on his soundtrack with: “And theyre going to try to make this one good!” Try this formula for Romance-with-Peace. It's Virginia Dale’s. Virginia has a date with George Vogt, automobile agency man, twice a week. Let her tell it: ‘George likes the fights, so he buys a ticket to them. I go to a movie, because I don't like fights very much,.and I guess I'm Hollywood's bigggst paying fan for movies. It’s the same on the night of the wrestling shows; George goes there, and I see another movie. Then we meet afterward, and eat supper together, and neither of us is ever bored.” You can kid all you lik about Hollywood's bum guesses and faux pas in story material, but you have to take the hat off to its technical prowess. & Typical of their sangfroid was this incident outside the Warner construction shops, where in recent weeks hgve been building life-size reproductions of the sailing ships Falcon and Madre de Dios for use in Erro Flynn’s “The Sea Hawk.” Knowing that these boats will be used on the new “sea” stage and therefore must be hauled through the shop doors, a bystander glanced up at the tall masts and whistled: “What about clear- ance?” he asked. A carpenter looked up, grunted, and shrugged: “Clearance, huh? Well, there'’s a sixteenth of an inch clearance there—what more do you want?”
