Film Prodigy “Blows Up” With Retake Ordered. BY SHEILAH GRAHAM. HOLLYWOOD, July 22 (N.AN.A.).—Shirley Temple is doing a fine job of acting for the camera—and the moment your correspondent enters, Shirley, modishly attired in.a Swiss peasant dress, is doing some off-record acting, riding the camera dolly and supposedly directing herself. “I can see the mike shadow,” she warns the operabor suitably rewarded with laughter from< all—except Director Allan Dwan, who is trying to make a picture—a rather difficult feat be- cause of a black goat which re- fuses to allow Bhirley to milk it. . “I'm scared stiff of the goat,” says ever-watchful Mama Temple. “Soam I,” echoes ~Bhirley. And she “blows up” on her lines. ‘“Retake,” commands Dwan “And how!” adds La Temple. “The goat was good,” is Mrs. Temple's only comment. As usual with Summer D\cture -mak- tng, every one, including Jean Her- sholt, is dressed to suffocation point. In Winter they invariably make open- air tropical epics with bathing suits and flimsy dresses. “Keep away from the goat,” Mrs. “Temple interrupts the scene as the animal scorns hay in favor of Shir- ley's golden curls. “Oh, dear, I'll :e she sighs. “Today Shirley has to wilk wild goats—tomorrow she has to fall off & cliff.” (For the actual fall & double will be used. But falling off a €liff should be a pleasure at $500,000 & year) Shellah Graham, In the same studio—Twentieth Cen- tury-Fox—Eddie Cantor is bringing W. P. A. and similar mixed modern blessings to Sultan Roland Young in *Ali Baba Goes to Town.” The court- yard is packed with camels plus a few | goats thrown in for good measure. It you like Cantor, you'll enjoy the sequence. “Shall we give the camels | water?” asks a hefty Nubian slave. “Yes—toilet water,” replies the come- dian. “But what do you do?” your correspondent tactlessly asks Mr. “What do you think? I'm & stooge for Cantor,” he replies lugu- briously. Alan Mowbray is relaxing in a large bed in “Stand-In" for Walter Wanger. | turbed about the publicized rumor she the onlookers—on the “Heidi” set. At ‘This buffoonery is Perhaps ‘“relaxing” is the wrong word. About 20 people are gathered around him while he tries to read a paper nonchalantly. “Won't some one join me?” he pleads finally in desperation. But the sequence is over and Mow- bray, who plays & composite of the foreign, pompous, ungrammatical Hol- lywood director, is ordered to another set-up—the dressing room of Marla Shelton—the star of the film within the film. “Where's Leslie Howard?” demands Director Tay Garnett. No one knows. “He carries his own trapdoor so he can escape when work begins,” grum- bles Garnett. No sooner said than Leslie strolls onto the set, his arm around the waist of Miss Shelton, an attractive brunette who is ha'f Chero- kee Indian. “I'm leaving for England when the picture is completed,” he tells me languidly. His next film will be either “Lawrence of Arabia” or “Bonnie Prince Charlie.” He pre- fers “Bonnie Prince Charlie"—be- cause “I have an invitation to stay at a wonderful place in Scotland— where I can rest a lot.” Charles Boyer is another Hollywood- ite bound for his native country at the end of his current film, “Tonight's Our Night” (nee “Tovarich”). “And it's about time,” he gloats. “I've been away from France a whole year.” . . .

So they add several cute ideas like making me fall off a house!” (Do you still want to be a film star?)

WENTWORTH SINGERS EXCELLENT IN SATIRE Gilbert and Sullivan's “Trial by Jury” Is Final Performance for Season. TRIAL BY JURY,” principal at- attraction in an unusual musical evening at the Sylvan Theater last night, and the final appearance of the Estelle Wentworth Opera Group this season, proved the high spot in that organization’s current accomplish- ments. Along with a collection of operatic arias from “Martha,” “Caval- leria Rusticana” and “Rigoletto,” bunched in skit form and cailed “The Opera Rehearsal,” the Gilbert and Sullivan satire managed to provide happy deviation from the normal course of vocal stage presentations. From the slide-rule of public re- sponse, the effort of the famed English comic opera combination, taking light jabs at court justice, reached the highest scale. Aside from the fact that any work by the pair is welcome any time, great credit is due the per- forming cast for an able production. Little of the tang of the stream of witticlsms was lost and the voices generally were capable and true. WEEK-END SPECIALS!

Ray Baine, tenor standby of the group, gave his customarily efcient performance as the defendant, but Ira Meyer, playing the judge, matched it with his commendable sense of characterization. Virginia Weedon, although only & bridesmaid, lent charm as well as a refined, attractive voice to the surroundings. Outside of that nucleus of vocal talent there were other creditable portrayals, such as that of Margaret Horn, plaintiff in the breach case; Richard Hill as coun- sel, and Melville Veitch as foreman of the jury. Chorus work likewise proved acceptable, though to a smaller degree. It was in the feature solos of the “Rehearsal” bit that vocal ability and merit stood out prominently. Miss Weedon especially displayed her apti- tude for smoothness and wide range in the selections from “Martha” and “Rigoletto”; a duet with Ray Baine and later in a scene from the first act of the Von Flotow opers in which she was grouped with Mr. Meyer (again convincing in his part) and Alice Brennan. Verdi's “Quartette” from “Rigoletto” was ably given by Mildred Sherman and John Cassidy in addi- tion to Miss Weedon and Mr. Baine.
