HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 3.~Pointed illustration of current studio economy trennd Is the Warher elcase of Pat O'Brien, after eight years on contratt, scoun after he finished what many say was his hest role — in “Knute Rocken All-Anier “ o Useful as Pat was, his salary by perlodical iucreases had reach the point where another boost, called for if he e “renewed,” was deemed too high. ... Pat probably wil be better off free- lancing, with a choice of roles at other studios as well as Warner’s. Same consideration probably will have to be made by any studio which persuades Shirley Temple to go to work again. . .. Effective as she is In her last for 20th Century-Fox, “Young People,” and comparatively high as her box-office rating was at the last annual count, Shirley had reached an astronomical money rating at Zanuck’s plant — more perhaps (though this is trea- son) than she was worth, all things taken into aceount. . . . “Arise, My Love,” the Claudettc Colbert-Ray Milland piece, is an ‘adventure comedy with a current war background. . . . News- paper correspondent stuff, but offhand it looks like a battle between whatever comedy the screen’s journalese capers can provide and the real tragedy of the world. . .. Walter Abel gets a break in it. Gloria Jean's “25 uneles,” mentioned ‘in “The Under-Pup,” are on the screen in “A Liitle Bit of Heaven,” which is the sequel ...
