FOR THE BIG PERFORMANCE NEWS oF 1937 Traveling Around in Europe English Films Have to Send to Hollywood for Typical English- Roland Young On the Set. man; (No, 7 of & Series.) BY L WILLIAM HILL, Staft Correspondent of The Star. ONDON.—It is ironic, but when an English motion pictwe stu- dio recent’y began casting about for & “typical Englishman,” they finally selec a product of Hollywood—Roland Young. Mr. Young was born in London, it is true. But that was some years ago. Todey, except for that clipped and suave manner of speech and that definite dignified politeness, there is more that is American about him than English. It is natural, for he became an American citizen more than 15 years ago, and since then has been perpetrating his quaint drol- leries in that concentrated essence of America—Hollywood. The Artist as Alien. ‘There would appear to be something of value for the artist in submitting himself to the influences of another country besides his own. Ernest Hem- ingway and Sinclair Lewis had lived in France before they began to find their place in letters. James McNeill Whistler was English-American. The same with Leslie Howard and Ronald Colman. Noel Coward is more Amer- ican than British. W. Somerset Maugham, born in Paris of English parents, grew up never quite certain which was his native language—Eng- | lish or French. This is our theory. Personality is the main factor in an artist. The more a writer or an actor is influenced | by the provincial ideas and ideals of one place the more he is compressed into a type, and the less he is able to be a personality. Moving to a foreign country, he finds his native ideas and ideals regarded as curios. He decides that nothing i§ always true, that nothing is right or wrong but one's surroundings make it so. He is free to be himself, with what- ever personality may be his. British Not Showmen. Roland Young illustrates this. As practically every motion picture critic has written, he is “picture saver,” because of his great showmanship. Yet the British are not by nature showmen. The plays and stories they like most are after the manner of Checkhov or Katherine Mansfield, creation that give an any-day picture of the life of an average family, then tail off, without plot or climax. The Britisher is suspicious of anything dramatic, and is prone to consider it rather American. It is natural, for an Englishman grows up under great re- straint. Even the children we have seen were restrained. They were never “show-offs.” From the bassinette to the cemetery, a Britisher seems to live in great fear that he will make @ show of himself. This is possibly the reason why so many Americans think Englishmen stolid and cold. We didn't know Mr. Young when he made his entrance to America, but we hazard the guess that he was not the confi- dent, unrestrained showman he is today. * Pursuit of a Bird. | We met him first one evening in | the smoking room of the Ile de France. A tired sea swallow had flown in through an open window and was fluttering helplessly about. An English lawyer, sitting nearest the bird, watched it with impassive eyes. Mr. Young started in pursuit. So did | we. Together we trapped it against s window curtain. “Sit down,” sald Mr. Young. “Let's all three a drink.” So we did, and the sea swallow, on Mr. Young's recommendation, took water and crumbled crackers. Pres- ently the sea swallow went to sleep. But Mr. Young went on talking in Just that same suavely comic man- ner for which he is famous on the screen. The second time we saw Roland Young he was making & picture of Shirley Temple out of pennies laid out on a table in the liner's “salon de the.” The next he was sprawled out in the middle of the sun deck, playing poker dice. The British Wonder. We mention these things because they are so typical of Roland Young as he naturally is today, freed from English restraint. We might add that the Britishers aboard the Ile de France looked at Mr. Young askance. We could see th® were wondering how a man born in London could ever do such things. Film magnates in England have & more discerning eye, however. At the box office they have learned the value of having a showman in a pic- ture. That was why Roland Young was en route to England. Gaumont- British wanted him for & leading role in “King Solomon's Mines.” Hardly had he set foot on Plymouth Rock, however, before the English studio of Warner Bros. was after camera began to whir softly. After about a minute the director called, “Cut,” and that was that. Imme- diately, since for some reason the studio had only one camera, the scene was repeated with the camera at a different angle. In Hollywood, of course, they shoot from all angles at.{ once. At last the director seemed satisfied that three hours continuous conversation had produced the min- ute of film he wanted. The Question of Dialogue. After luncheon, during which a red; cheeked English waitress stammered in her confusion at asking for Mr. Young's autograph, it took until about 6 p.m. to make two more takes. Half an hour was used up by debate over the wording of one line of dialogue, Mr. Young was instructing his butler in the film to go out the next morning to buy some clothes for the gypsy girl | ANN PAGE A:P CUSTOMERS HORMEL'S Sou AGP APPLE CAMPFIRE Ps MUSHROOM—NOODLE to whom he had offered a home. “Lady’s clothes, sir?” the butler asked. “Of course, lady's clothes, Pim” was the first line Mr. Young tried, “what did you think, a silk hat and Summer suitings?” ‘There was discussion over whether the line would be immediately clear, particularly to an American audience. During ensuing conversation “silk hat"” became “topper,” “top hat” then finally dropped out altogether, and the line as finally filmed went some- thing like this: “Of course, lady's clothes, Pim. What did you think, & straw hat‘and spats?” ‘Thus, in every case, Mr. Young was allowed to alter his lines to make them better suit his own personality and manner of speech. Since the dialogue of a motion picture is not memorized in toto, but merely take ROLAND YOUNG, An Englishman from Hollywood. by take, this apparently makes the lines of a cinema star more natural sometimes than those of a legitimate actor. In between takes Mr. Young talked of many things. There was Chili Bouchier, the girl star of “Tzgane.” She has dark, exotic beauty, a per.

Discussing his plans after he has finished fiiming “King Solomon's Mines,” Mr. Young said he will ap- pear in a legitimate play this Winter. “I am hoping to open in Washing- ton in the latter part of November,” he sald. “The plays in which I open in Washington always seem to have better lucl About 6 p.m., at Mr. Young's sug- gestion, we crept out of the studio to return to London, where we could i talk without benefit of bells and | sirens. But we didn't get far.

Because no one could be found to claim $300 left in Baron Hakeo Kiku- chi’s mail box, the national treasury | of Japan is that much richer. With 10 bills was a note asking that the in- closed money be given to Kazuo Oguri, superintendent of the Tokio Police Board at the time. The baron became suspicious, because Oguri is one of his political rivals. He got in touch with Oguri and a conference of high offie cials was held. 7 ® ESTABLISHED 1865 7 ~ THE TOUCHDOWN That Counts Every Day Barker always scores with 7 experienced buyers because 7, those who have been in the “building game” a long time know that only quality gives complete satisfaction. ~ Free delivery—one board or a truck load! 7 GEO.M.BARKER | . o COMPANY o LUMBER and MILLWORK © 649-651 N.

They had found he had three weeks before he was due on location for Gaumont, and they needed that “typical Englishman” to take part in “Tszigane,” a dramatization of a novel by Lady Eleanor Smith. Mr. Young agreed. Soon after we reached London, he called us on the phone and invited us to spend a’day watching the film- ing of “Tzigane.” A Visit to Teddington. The studio was at Teddington, s remote suburb of London that may be reached by motor in about 45 minutes. It is flowery and quiet there, and in- cidentally, it is the birthplace of Noel Coward. ‘When we reached the studio filming was in progress, so we waited in & small corridor that smelled of ce- ment, and bristled with men leaning against “no smoking” signs as they puffed on cigarettes. Occasionally there was the sound of a bell, fol- lowed by that of a siren, which we guessed correctly was the signal for silence throughout the studio during the making of a “take,” or about & minute or two of film. In & moment Mr. Young appeared. He was wearing full dress clothes without the coat. Guiding us among back drops, coils and pendants of rope, American—Brick Vg Ib.
