U Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons. HOLLYWOOD., Cal, May 7.—I don't like to complain, but it seems to this corner Hollywood's new suits are pretty tame affairs compared with yesterday’s. ‘They just don’'t have the “color” any more, and I don't mean the Messrs. Menjou, Crosby, Raft and Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom have given up racetrack checks. I'm talking about legal suits. Look at this Paramount vs. Don Ameche thing. No “style,” no “angels,” just dollar-and-cents tiffing. Ameche turns down a picture at Paramount after Ameche’s 20th Century bosses have loaned him for it. Ameche just won't have any part of, or in, “The Night of January 16th.” There- ! upon, the studio’s plans for the pieture collapse ‘like a. phony plot; with the' director Mitchell Leisen and the co-star Barbara Stanwyck balking at the consequnt delay and seeking other fields: Paramount says it's cost & pretty penny (about $170,000) to pre- pare for the picture with Ameehe in it, and it's asking that much ' in chilly cash from Aemche in recompense. Twentieth Century; ‘ meanwhile, has suspended Ameche in a spirit of cooperation, but lifted the ban when it needed him in ‘Four Sens.” Don hasn’t had anything to say. about all this and maybe the courtroom, if the suit gets that far, will splash on some “color,” but it still won't be like the old days. Those were the times. They called names and invented so- briquets. There was Jetta Geudal, in that colorful altercation with the Great One (C. B. DeMille):over Jetta's ‘‘temperament.” rhat fa‘r( reception ehlm;‘huunn give tho il guests who 9ifts of ¥ br lnx uyn yCand| e atten t16As makd ° *bust come” n\u-é“ L C. B. said the !orelgn utr-ss was so all-fired emphatic about thihgs there was practically no working with her, and Jetta brought in the matter of “temperament” as a valuable, integral assét in an artist’s equipment. C. B. trimmphantly labeled her a “eon- ! tinental cocktail of emotions” ‘and sat back.confidently—only to * hear the judge agree with Jetta and hand her the painr of vietory. - The lastureally: “good” suit we had was Warner ‘Bros: vs. ° Bette Davis. Over in England that was, the sparks flew whenisthe studio took to court the matter of Bette's contract and Bette's desire to skip it. Bette lost, but not before opposing counsel had opportunity to call her a “naughty youmg lady who wants more * money” and the defense had rung in vivid pictures of Bette as ' a Warner “slave” serving a “life sentence” under contract: L4 v The Warner-Cagney fuss was a humdinger, too. Plenty of name-calling all around, with a dramatic through-the-side-door victory for Jimmy when he discovered the Warners, at one theatre, * were billing Pat O'Brien over Cagney, in violation of the cuney v contract. L) No, I haven't much hope for the Ameche-Paramount hufln- ¥ Nobody’s going to call Don a “cocktail of emotions,” or a spoiled darling, or anything sniacky like that. It looks like a crassly » commercial, dollar-and-cents scrap. & 1 5 AT AR
