DOUGLAS RINK EVERY NIGHT 7:30 to 10:30 Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Cooms HOLLYWCOD, Cal, Sept. 19.—It is a favorite generality around here that one stage flop necessarily embitters an actor against the footlights, but John Garfield is at least one exception. Young Garfield knew his share of stage flops before he be- came a movie star. In that light his flop in “Heavenly Express,’ his latest stage venture, had little more significance to him than | met, |as director, and tonight the adult orevide the hilarious basis of Joe Penner's latest laugh-maker, “The Day The Bookies Wept,” which ends tonight' at’the Capitol' Theatre.

DO YOU SMOKE THE CIGARETTE THAT SATISFIES WILL PRESIDE, Definitely Milder, Cooler- Smokmg Rock”; for Katharine Hepburn who took a merciless roastimg r “The Lake” but made her critics eat their words when she picked “Philadelphia Sto It goes, too, for the catastrophic “Romeo and Juliet” of Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier. All a Broadway flop means for a movie star — aside from the hurt and temporary loss of prestige — is that the particular star in the particular play he selected was not acceptable. It does follow that the star is doomed to failure forever, nor that he must be “cured” (as if a real ham could ever be cured!) for all time. : Another conclusion to which we often jump is that Holly- wood always is stupid because so many potential stars are passed up here and later grabbed because of their Broadway fame. This PERCY’S CAFE [ ] sTOP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakfast, Dinner or Light Lunches ® DELICIOUS FOOD ® FOUNTAIN SERVICE . S happens time and again, and who am I to say that Hollywood is exempt from stupidity? But when you regard Broadway as a showcase and a training school, you can see that Hollywood has its reasons for “suddenly awakening” to the hitherto neglected charms of a Mary Martin or a Betty Grable. No housewife ever bought a can of soup that wasn't adver- tised and displayed on the shelves. No housewife ever bought a soup twice that was canned prematurely, minus seasoning and full flavor. And Hollywood passes up talent that is half- baked. unperfected, inexpertly displayed. Why not try it here first then? Hollywood does — some- times.

She too often is typed after a single success, On the stage she can round out her experience with varied types. Hollywood's instructors are competent but can't give sufficient time to any individual.” Director George Cukor tells it on himself that he passed up Bette Davis in her early stage days because she couldn't act. The truth probably is that the Bette of that era really couldn’t act. That is true of many another player who “failed” in Hol- lywood and later was wooed to return after a stage hit.
