By ERNEST PAGANO Of Paramount Studio (Unreeling for Vacationing Robbin Coons) HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Sept. 11.—I see by the papers that my cld friend P, G. Wodehouse stil is a prisoner of war, in Ger- many. If “Plummy” is performing with his customary eclat, 11l probably find him immersed in some swimming pool, des- > the obvious difficulties and horror of his position. “Plum- is like that. t time T met him was when T was writing “Damsel in 8" for Fred Astaire. We were handed the job in collabora- f ¥ Distr We had separate offices and the only time we saw each other was in a mming pool. “Plummy” had a passion for dunking the body into a pool. We'd splash around, talk character and story for a while, and then adjourn to our private cubby holes, Eventually we'd emerge, each having written the same se- quence. Then we'd put them together, and somehow the story came out. T gless George Stevens made it a good picture despite our work, T'm working for Mark Sandrich now, over at Paramount. He’s producing and directing “Love Thy Neighbor,” the Fred Allen-Jack Benny-Jack Benny-Fred Allen production (or how- ever they're going to bill it). You ought to meet Allen, if you haven't already. He's one of the great wits of history, and the fastest man on his feet T've ever heard. He drips gags all day long, and most of them are funny. PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT [ ] . STOP at PERCY’S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Juneau is talking about. TRY OUR FOUN- TOO!. : if he had seen Jack. “He's borrowing sweat from somebody to prove his glands are functioning, and will be running over here in a minute,” Fred quipped. I think Benny probably has the best sense of timing since the days of Buster Keaton and “Fatty” Arbuckle. They wefe really tops. But timing today, in talking pietures, is even more difficult than it was in the silent days. And I've often won- A how some of Benny's laugh lines get over when they're nslated into a foreign language. Of course, the studios don’t have to worry much about that v mere. Another thing the war has done is to eliminate sweep- stakes tickets, which is a break for me. About five years ago I wrote script on a picture called “The ‘Winning Ticket.” My wife took it as a hunch and bought one of the things. I yelled my head off — and she won ten thousand bucks. T haven‘t heard the end of it yet. I hope I never write anything called “The Million Dollar Bank Robbery.” give her more ideas. Another thing I've cut out is acting in pictures. I used to like to do a scene — just an extra or a bit — in anything I had a hand in writing. But not since “Vivacious Lady.” L You'll remember that this picture had Ginger Rogers and Jimmy Stewart in it. And maybe you'll remember the conductor on the train? I played the conductor. I played it 17 times. Sev- enteen straight takes — sweating and straining — until the boys and girls couldn’t hold back any longer, and burst out into roars of laughter. The first take had been good! The other day Allen got on the set early, and Mark asked him It might t the Govern- Mrs. Emily Wright | was born last | ment Hespital t: admitted | theleen was to the Government Hospital today and is receiving surgical aitention care, F Gover Admitted for medica ore Cundan is at the Hospital.
