Hollywood Sights And Souxds By Robbia Coens. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 8—~The month's most interesting about-face, in the matter of movie roles, is Burgess Meredith’s. And least concerned about it is Meredith himself. Meredith “Buzz' or “Bugs” to his friends — has been a movie in-and-outer, but now he looks set to stay in town awhile. Things are breaking right. Better, for instance, than they did after his first movie, “Winterset.” “Winterset” was the play that gave Buzz, after the usual grind of summer stock, bit roles, artistic successes, set-backs, flops and occasional hits, his first really big impetus in the theatre. He made a fine picture of it here, then his RKO contract brought him pictures holding less interest for him than for audiences, if possible. Maybe they weren’t that bad, but they were nothing for a rising young actor to waste his time on, so “Bu back to New York. He returned occasionally to make meore tures, but was excited about only one — “Of Mice and Men. “Winterset” was poetic tragic. “Of Mice and Men,” was “Winterset” was poetic tragedy. “Of Mice and Men" was earthy, tragic in tone. He plays screwball comedy in “Second Chorus,” is following it with the role of a dizzily temperamen- tal concert pianist in Lubitsch’s “That Uncertain Feeling.” It's as complete an about-face as was Garbo's when, also with Lubitsch, she turned comedienne in “Ninotchka.” But that’s not all: The Meredith schedule also includes “New Wine,” in which he will play the tragic role of Franz Schubert. “I'm not worried about these changes of types,” PERCY’S CAFE [ sToP AT PERCY'S CATE Breakiast, Dinner or Light Lunches ® DELICIOUS FOOD © FOUNTAIN SERVICE © REFRESHMENTS he says, “although going from poetic tragedy to farce is about as far as one can go in being different. It's been done before, however. Charlie Laughton has no trouble — he’s a comedian in one pic- ture and tragic in his next, and he is accepted eevry time. “Besides, I haven't enough pictures to be established as any one type — I haven't any trademark or special set of mannerisms any movie audience would expect to see. That makes it sim- pler.” Meredith, while looking for play scripts, is liking what Hol- lywood offers. “I like movies AND the stage, and I like to be wheer the best material is. Right now for me it's in Hollywood,” he says. “I like radio too — I've an exciting program coming up.” But he's a great plugger for screen actors getting back to the stage and vice versa. Says it's “tonic.” “After pictures, the stage is a form of liberation. After the stage, you can come back to pictures to work at little niceties of technique you may have neglected in the theatre. In pictures, you usually play with a quiet sameness; your work can be given variety by close-ups, camera angles, music, any number of tricks, So it's good for some people to go back where the necessity for variety is on themselves. Then, afterward, it helps to come back to the screen, where you can pick out certain grossness developed in stage work’
