Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Rebbin Cosms. HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 23.—The successful “stock company” in the world is right here in Hollywood, operated by a most fellow named John Ford who makes movies for a right smart living If you follow Ford's movies, as you do if you're interested in better pictures, you may have noticed how many of his actors are from other Ford pictures. You may not know the names of some, but you do know the faces. And then again, seeing a new picture, you may discover the name that goes with a long familiar face — because that's Ford way, and the old stock com- v good show of the old school displayed a degrec in parceling out The villain tonight of im- partiality its roles, could be the hero tomorrow; little Eva could be the unhappy hero- ine of “East Lynne” next week.” Stars, yes, but stars who could double in brass and could play the parts given them, big or little. That's the way it is in Ford's movie stock company. It’s no organization, and there’s nothing official about it. Tt just happens tha sticks by it. Current example No. 1 is Charley Grauewin. play- ing Jeeter Lester in “Tobacco Road.” Ford had him as Grandpa Joad in “The Grapes of Wrath,” a comparatively minor role, and Ford insisted that he be signed for Jeeter Lester. Russell Simpson had a minor role in “Drums Along the Mo- t Ford, when he finds a good thing in an actor, hawk.” then a lead in “The Grapes of Wrath.” Now in “To- bacco Road” he has a minor part as a police chief. Next time he may be big again — but it’s an even bet hell be “in” if there's a part for him Ward Bond is a “regular.” It used to be that he appeared PERCY’S CAFE [ STOP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakfast, Dinner or Light Lunches ® DELICIOUS FOOD ® FOUNTAIN SERVICE © REFRESHMENTS in bits and smaller roles. In “The Grapes of Wrath” he played a motorcycle officer. Ford used him for comedy in “Drums Along the Mohawk,” and in “The Long Voyage Home" he had a big assignment Same ' is true for “Tobacco Road.” Ward plays Lov Bensey. The real Ford ‘regular,” however, is Jack Pennick, who never misses. A tall, burly ex-Marine, Pennick acts but also has other duties. He's an expert on the manuel of arms of all na- tions, and he drills the Ford troops in any picture with military background. Ford's “Prisoner of Shark Island” added a new recruit — not only to the stock company but to pictures. John Carradine, pre- viously a Shakespearean, there started a career of villainy which only this past year, since “The Grapes of Wrath.” has been softened into the kindly mold. Francis Ford, the director’s brother, was once a matinee idol and serial king, but Ford has made him into a steady “character.” “Character” is the key of admittance to the Ford “regulars” —striking people like John Qualen, Carradine, Francis Ford, Thomas Mitchell. Vigorous, big-fisted young men, like Bond and John Wayne. They get “in” — sometimes, as with Wayne and Mitcell, so sucessfully as not always to be available Being lebeled a “man’s director,” because most of his pic- tures are of the virile, earthy type, Ford hasn't any women in his “company” outside of Mae Marsh and Patricia Doyle, who usually have at least bits in his films. But “Tobacco Road™” may add Gene Tierney, or Elizabeth Patterson, or Marjorie Rambeau to the list. to learn spent the hours between eleven on Mon- day night and five the next morning — Presi- nominated | Frank C.
