Hand a producer s story abont a metropolis, and the odds | are he’ll think of Kandel for the treatment. Thai's because | Kandel wrote a book cllied “City for Conquést” and it's being made into a movie, Kandel is a stocky, vigorous black-haited fellow who laughs at himself as frequently as not end writes upstmding, vigorous prose poetry about skyscrapers and slums, steanting streets and alleys, and the people who live in or around them. His city, of course, is New York. He knows other -cities, too, and the hinterlangs. He knows Alaska. He worked there on a gebdetic sirvey boet, and in & gola mine, until he tired of it and went to Seattle for & news- paper job. That was fipe until he got tired of the rain (Seattle : was having unusnal weather, naturally) and the chief, Ted Cook, heeded his complaint and sent him off to a Spokane paper, which he liked better. He did a journalistic trick in Los Angeles, too, and made it locale of his “Rabbi Burns.” | | | But Kendel’s city is New York, and he comes to Hollywood only occasionally (0 do & teatment or a screenplay. He says he would rather to do this to the stories of other writers, because on his own he runs the risk of becoming emotionally involved, which intereferes with his primary business of novel-writing. He is contributing dialogue to his “City for Conquest.” He was born in Rumania. His family — “a long line of den- tists and gypsies” — brought him to New York when he was two years old. The city always fascinated him. He learned it by PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT sTopP ‘Z;WMMh Jor Lunches | e o heart, at all hours of day and njght, 1 music, people.

The book took hoid, despite rave re- views, rather slowly. Columbia bought it for pictures, never got around 4o making it. Directors and producers, as they read it, clamored for the rights. James Cagney read it. Cagney’s brother Bill read it too. The Cagneys together talked Warner bosses into. buying the rights. Se now Jimmy is starving in it with Ann Sheridan, and Bill is producing. As for Kandel, he has finished a treatment on Elmer Rice’s play, “Two On an Island,” for R-K-O. His immediate plans in-' cluded a visit to New Orleans, where the food is to his taste, and a stay in New York to get started on a sequel to “City for Conquest.” ” A
