HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 9.—Charley Grapewin Declaration of Independence today. He was sitting outside Jeeter Lester’s tumbledown shack on “Tobacco Road,” his slippered feet inthe “Georgia dirt” of a movie sound stage, his segar smoke pleasantly blue around him as he stroked his Jeeter Lester beard. “At my age” he said, “when you've got enough money you don’t have to work. So from now on it's two pictures a year for me, and both of 'em have to be as big as this one, and I'm going to be a ‘Hey-you' actor. “We're gonna have that understood, every time. When the director says ‘Hey-you' to me, I'm gonna have the privilege of say- u’ right back at him. “Another thing we're gonna understand each other about. I'm gonna say, ‘This character, now — do you want me to create him or do you want me to play it the way somebody else did? And, mind yuo, I'm a mighty poor mimic. If he wants a mimic, I'm going back to my fishing.” issued his Charley Grapewin .will tell you, now, that he wanted very much to play Jeeter Lester. But his good poker face (remem- ber he won the lakeside site of his present home in a friendly game?) carries over into his career All the time studio people were hounding him lo take the role, Charley was busy fishing. Nope, he didn't care to work just now. The bass were biting good. Whyn't they get some other fellow weren’t there lots of Jeeter Lest around? PERCY’S CAFE [ sTOoP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakiast.

They set the hour and the day. And Charley showed up, but not Ford Now John Ford's assistant, his brother Eddie O'Fearna, is moere than an assistant. Eddie saw Charley stalking off, wearing no man's collar and waiting for nobody, and Eddie acted. Eddie stopped Charley and asked him how the fishing was up his way. Half an hour later, when John Ford joinkd them and submitted himself to a quick kick by way of punishment for tardiness, Charley still was talking bass and they made the test “Great fellow, Ford,” said Charley today. “We understand each other. He's letting me do Jeeter as I see him — and if it's anything like the other Jeeter Lesters it's just because mine and theirs are taken from the same story. So help me, I've never seen any of ‘em do it on the stage” “Tobacco Road” of the movies, of course, isn'tthe stage's version but is based on Erskine Caldwell's book. The screen form will be, as Grapewin.sees it, “comedy — but heartbreaking comedy.” And just to show you how pure the movies can be when they set a heart to it, the script — deodorized in advance — came ”back from .the Hays code administration with only five or six . minor ehanges. daylight saving) -time.
