Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin C HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 21.—For movie fans who know their stars but are a little hazy about directors, the movie sets them- selves can serve as pegs on which to pin identities. The character of sets, and the people working in them, can tell you who's the man behind the camera—even if he’s hidden there. Let's try it: Here's a big, rich estate — gray stone walls, an expanse of garden and lawn, a dignified, richly appointed mansion. On the trellised porch is a cocktail table, with a bottle of echampagne in an ice bucket, a cocktail shaker, crystal glasses, a load of silver. ‘There’s a “feel” of butlers and maids in the background, with richly dressed, glittering people — Katharine Hepburn in bridal white, minus veil; Mary Nash in matronly but dashing black: Ruth Hussey in pour-you-in formal gown and new, slick coif- fure; John Halliday, Roland Young, James Stewart; a little girl in a “formal,” Virginia Weidler. There’s a tinkling of glasses and cracking of brittle dialogue. The direetor is admonishing Miss Hepburn to quit eating the props for she's filching a tidbit from the table, and calls for another rehearsal — a director with an eye to minute details of timing and stage craft. On the side, a press agent is telling you how sweet and ooperative Miss Hep- burn is, despite all those old tales — but Hepburn's sweetness (when she wants to be sweet) néver was news. | Well, that setting couldn’t be anybody’s but George Cuker’s. And it’s “Philadelphia Story.” Let's try another, a newspaper office, full of “characters” | PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGAHT . sTorP at PERCY’'S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Juneau is talking about. TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! It’s the whole works — that door from Barbara Stanwyck's col- umnar cubbyhole, where she writes “Odds and Ends.” The door opens into the city room. It looks like a eity room. Miss Stanwyek, entering enraged, kicking over a wastebasket, might be said to at like a columinst. The old proofreader, who enters and asks her for another stik of type to fill out her space, is a “character.” Everybody around is a “character.” The dialogue lets you know that some rich old so-and-so has just bought the paper and is doing some promiscuous firing. The director sits under the camera lens and suggests, quietly, certain changes in the proceedings. He's mild and sure and he doesn't raise his voice — but the setting, the “characters,” and the story situation yell out that he’s Frank Capra, starting “Meet John Doe.” And another, a colossal set, full of Indians and bright-coated soldiers. There’s rush and bustle; there’s a plenitude of make- up men and hair-derssers and first, second and third assistant all yelling through loudpeakers for QUIET. There's the director, not sparing his own loudspeaker. There are flunkies and stooges and yes-yes-men all over the place, which is colossal. COLOSSAL, . GOLOSSAL. Colosssl B.
