HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July 2—In all he palaver over the pos- sible fate of Hollywood’s anti-Nazi films, the one great eight- ball they behind seems to have been overlooked. That is the public clamor for escape films in times of crisis. Hollywood, as lacking in foresight regarding blitzkriegs as were the governments of France and England, was paying its usual keen attention to headline material when it acquired story rights to certain novels and stories, or created ' its’ own yarns on the subject of Naziism. “The Mortal Storm” was purchased before the outbreak of war, for instance, and chanced to be completed just when the efforts of the big blitzkrieg were evident. Chaplin was conceiving his comedy of dictators at least a year before he went into production. “Confessions of a Nazi Spy,” now being re-issued, as a pre-war release, “Four Sons” was 20's answer to Metro's “Mortal Storm,” and the same studio’s “I Married a Nazi” was purchased as another topical subject calculated to intrigue what audience Hollywod has left in the world. ‘Wanger's “Foreign Correspondent,” adventure yarn with im- plications, at least, of anti-Nazi feeling, is the outgrowth of Vin- cent Sheean's “Personal History” although today Sheean would have “difficulty recognizing his story in the film. All these films now have Hollywood dazed although officially no such admission is made. It is an amazing state of affairs when an industry that thrives on timely headlines gets the jitters because it suddenly has world-shaking ones tossed in its lap. Try a classified ad in The Empire. | COMEDY LM | | BELGIAN If it is fear of Nazi market treprisals in the event of a PERCY’S CAFE | OPEN ALL NIGHT sToP at PERCY’S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Juneai is' talkin about. 1 g TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! German triumph, Hollywood already.has cause enough for that fear. It is doubtful that Nazi'victory would make the punishment less severe if Hollywood now withdrew “its'celluloid weapons. No gestapo in the industry could ‘report the way Hollywood thinks any more effecttively than Hollywood itself has made that clear. Hollywood's European market has long since béen whittled down to minute proportions, Greatest worry belongs undoubtedly ‘to Chpalin, although he hasn’t even a-newsreel on ‘which' Nazis could inhflict immediate retaliation. - Charlie’s - problem - is a million " dollars’ worth of picture poking fun at a dictator who is not funny. But seasoned showmen talk of the great danger in all these films and the threat to the box-office. . Some are fine dramas, beautifully dene, with excellent star- names, and ordinarily would spell dividends. But in ‘times like these, the show world fears that the public will seek out the theatres where it can find escape—in comedy, in ‘musicals, ‘in'light, un- provoking fare that will permit it to forget briefly what’s ‘going on in the world oltside. They won’t want to think—any more than they're thinking already—of unpleasant facts. There’s no denying that Americans ought to'see these films because they’ll make them even happier to be Americans. But showmen I've talked to would trade the lot for one bright, snappy musical, full of girls and non-topieal gags. * ' - R AUSTRALIAN = Tense Mdiliéfil‘%en Sufimérine THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1940. stopped the ship and threatened to fire a torpedo as it steamed from Portugal toward Iteland, a¢ 5 a boat with their arms about children, after an exchange of signals the s The Washington reached New York safely. ‘ 3 Daily Crossword Puzzle ALASKA BOOM R A ing here in 1918, he attended school Ray Hermann Has Birrtihday Party o AP Feature Service G OMEN all over the Wworld are fleeing in the tes, went Europe as a foreign correspondent and for the past six y s has been special from war’s horrors, or are Alaska correspondent for the Christ- working to help win the fan Science Monitor A Fourth’of July theme was used e . for the fourth birthday of Ray Her- war.
