It is big?” After a while you get bitter. Is size in a picture the cardinal Does a movie have to be big? It's in the books that it doesn’t. It's in the Hardy famil books. They started out modestly, meaning the studio didn't tear up four acres to build sets and stages for them. They didn't blare* the trumpets and toot horns about them. They just made and kept on making 'em. Not big, not little, but good ‘Their box-office popularity hasn't gone to their heads. W a Hardy picture starts, the cast gathers around the director (it's usually George B. Seitz) and they just go to work. They all attend to business, and after a number of days another Hardy family picture is finished. Nobody gets imortant about it. Nobody tries to ring in the biggest earthquake, biggest fire, biggest windstorm in movie history. And the Hardys go right along. It's in the books “A Man to Remember,” too There s no colossal, no super-anything.

Think back to “Suez” a big- gie which had everything, including Tyrone Power—everything except interest and entertainment. Thinb back to—but why recall the tedious hours you too have spent? Think now, if you will, about “The Great Commandment.” They're going to mak it BIG even though it's already finished and previewed as LITTLE but GOOD. Pretty soon it goes before the cameras again, Zanuck’s cam- eras al 20un Century-Fox. Zanuck bought the picture outright, | when he saw it, to make it big. He wanted to put Tyrone ‘ Power in it. (Or maybe it's Don Ameche, if Don is back in favor on the lot by then) “The Great Commandment” is the picture Reverend James K. Friedrich, the movie-crusading min- ister from Minnesota, made on a shoestring to spread a message. The big studios wouldn't conside rthe script, but they liked the finished picture, and Zanuck’s bid was best. The crusading minister and his associates liked the idea of a wider, guaranteed release. So “The Great Commandment” will be big. But I can't help thinking aboyt John Beal. During the mak- ing of the picture (he had the lead) he talked about the part, the long hours he was putting in on it, the less-than-usual salary he was tlaking simply because he liked the role. John was expecting it to do him good. It did. The preview- ers liked his work. It looked as if John Beal, after taking a beating on bad movie parts and an unsuccessful play, was “in” again. * But John Beal, good actor that he is, is not big. Tyrone Power is. And thing around here have gotta be big. That's the rule—even on the lot where they made “The Grapes of Wrath” with a cast that mostly wasn't big at all—before “The Grapes of e aseeE————— tried a ol nut and swallowed The child is shown with his mother (left), in the King's Coun- ) WAR ITEM —Pretty Ira Cherkassky, 18, Finnish motion picture actress, has come to U. 8. to visit her fatker in Boston and Hollywood.
