HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 6.—You'd better smile, stranger, when you say “epic” to Frank Lloyd. “No, no, not that — don't call it an epic,” said the bushy- browed director-producer of this new one, “The Lady from Cheyenne.” . He made a mock gesture of ducking, as if to avold brickbats. “A good western story — romance, color, comedy — that's what it is,” he said. “Not an epic—" T could take it, then, that the screen’s inveterate creator of ‘epies” is tired of “ep-ing?” How about his latest, “The Howards ( of Virginia?" “It did all right, not as well as I hoped, he said. “I think the costumes hurt it. Men in silk stockings — the public doesn’t seem to like anything in costume.” I glanced around. There was Loretta Young, the pretty, de- mure, fighting schoolmarm, in a period hat and a long pvrlnd dress; there was Gladys George, the cabarét lady, whose cabaret dressing room on the set for the next scene was gas-lit and plastered with period adornments. "‘Oh. this — this is Western,” explained Lloyd. “Western is standard movie stuff, not costume.” When he started “The Howards of Virginia,” Lloyd thought he could break the, supposed mmx against movhl with American PERCY’S CAFE Revolutionary backgrounds'tmp costumes) and he did, in fact, make a fine picture. But the jinx didn't bend as much as he had . anticipated. i “When I say the public doesn’t like costume pictures,” he amplified, “I mean any costumes prior to long pants for men.” That neatly sidestepped “Gone With the Wind” and closed the subject — leaving us free to catch upon two ladies newly- returned to films: Gladys George closed her rpad tour with “Lady in Waiting” and flew back to Hollywood for, the picture — arriving, incident- ¢ ally, after a forcd leanding in a cornfield. She is, as usual, full of gusto and earthly good spirits. “The road,” she paraphased the old gray mare's unhappy status, “ain’t what it used to be ! back — why, I was the star in the show and I'm not the star here, but the money’s better and that’s what counts. And I'm home!” Miss Young, returned from her eastern honeymoon with Tom Lewis, the radio man, had 2 headache. “Always get one after a crying scene,” she expalined. “Are you any good at massage? Ah, that’s wonderful. It raelly Rub my neck, will you? There. ... helps. Thanks. “Yes, I'm going to make just one or two pictures a year. Mr. Lewis's work is in the East, and T want toe b with him.
