AMUSEMENTS. Wanger’s Quips Earn Place In Hollywood Memories So Does Joel McCrea’s Anecdote Of the Boy and the Auto}raph; Warners’ Staff Goes Robust By JAY CARMODY. . Memories of Hollywood: Best quip: That of Walter Wanger, who, seated at an ldjoinlnx table in the executives’ dining room at United Artists, answered our question concerning the authorship of the final, or shooting, script of “Personal History” with the remark: “We never get to a final script. in Hollywood.” Perhaps Mr. Wanger should be given credit, too, for the runner-up among quips. Asked what sort of story he had | distilled from Vincent Sheean’s best seller of several years ago, he replied: “‘Mr. Smith Goes to Europe’.” * Kk ok ok Favorite anec- dote: Joel Mc- Crea’s story of the New York youngster to whom he would rather have Jay Carmody. given an autograph than almost any other fan. Accosted under the marquee of a theater to which he was rushing in order to beat the opening curtain, McCrea put the youngster off with the promise that he would give him the autograph when the play was over—if the lad cared to wait. McCrea forgot all about it after the theater, the more easily when he was surrounded by police and whisked into a cab. The youngster hadn’t forgotten, however. Before the cab had gone| two blocks, he was tapping on the rear window from his precarious COAL ALASKA- HUFNAGEL Better grade coals—no higher price 8 Tards for Quick Detivers 1bs. to the Evers Found Dellvercd in Bars to Your Bin at No Extra Charge.

The lad said he did not. Neither did McCrea, and neither did the taxi driver. A casual passerby eventually did have a pencil, which was a good thing for amiable Joel might have been waiting there yet to repay & juvenile fan who thought enough of him to hang around for three hours. * ok ko x Greatest show of resistance: Our refusal to be lured into guest mem- bership in the Warner Bros. publicity department athletic club, 8 mush- room organization nourished by the department's sense that it is old elnough to pay attention to its mus- cles. To badminton, which probably would spoil what was left of a rotten tennis game, the answer was no. To bowling—with 16-pound balls—the answer was no, loud almost to the point of shrillness. To mountain climbing, ice skating, bicycle riding, the same. Final proposal of the muscle-mad | group was participation in the sand- lot football game which is to be one of the early sequences in the studio’s picture, “The Life of Knute Rockne,” a battle of ragamuffins, aged 11 to 14. Before we could say yes, the offer was cancelled on the theory that a critic probably would be slaughtered on general principles by the loyal young of the cinema capital. Besides, there’s a terrific amount of exercise tc be had just walking from sound stage to sound stage in Hollywood. * ok ok % Moment of greatest admiration for the human species: That in which the Chief, our favorite Santa Fe train, snaked its way up Raton Pass with two locomotives huffing and puffing as locomotives have to huff and puff nowhere else in the 3,000,000 square and peaceful miles of the United States. of space, that. g * ok %k Moment of greatest admiration for the confidence of Santa Fe employes on the Chief: That in which we were assured that a lateness of 1 hour and 25 minutes at La Junta, Colo., didn’t mean a thing; that it would all be made up by morning, a matter of nine hours. It was, to the minutes, and all the passengers slept through the 95-miles-an-hour ride they had that night. * % ok X Subjects of greatest curiosity: Where those roads, going nowhere across the enormous expanse of Colorado, New Mexicc and Arizona. finally lead to? ...

One of the things one is bound to encounter when contemplating the future is the opening of the seventh season of the " Local Drama Groups Roadside Theater, out on the Rockvi reason calls the red barn theater. last were there it isn’t red or any other hue known previously to man, but a sort of weatherbeaten color of its own.

Fistere's ARTHUR MURRAY STUDIO Saengerbund Concert Wins Large Crowd Grand Ballroom Of Willard Hotel Filled to Capacity By ELENA DE SAYN. The 89th anniversary concert of the Washington Saengerbund, con- ducted by Herbert Herzfeld, given yesterday afternoon in conjunction with the Baltimore Arion Society under Theodore Hemberger, and the ladies’ chorus of the Washington Saengerbund, under Dr. Kurt Het- zel, filled the grand ballroom of the Willard Hotel to capacity. Pre- sented in an impressive and digni- fied manner, the choruses exhibited professional earnestness and disci- pline, which in spite of a non-pro- fessional late beginning, 25 minutes after the scheduled hour, com- manded respect for the musical value of the performance. The vocal greeting by the singers, followed by a short address by Paul Otterbach, local president, led into the first numbers of the program presented by the Washington Chap- ter of the society under Mr. Herz- feld. Of these, “Der Tag des Her- ren,” by Kreutzer; Brahms' “In Stiller Nacht” and a folksong, “An | dem Bruennele,” were sung a ca- pella. Minute attention was paid to dynamics, sforzando effects and to the inner voices giving a rounded- out performance. Tenor Voices Outstanding. “In Stiller Nacht” and in the in- troductory singers’ greeting the | splendid tenor voices, heard above the others in one or two instances, deserve special mention. Felix Guenther's “Erntelied,” with piano accompaniment played by Elsa Pedersen, proved an effective selec- tion in a modern vein, while a Bohemian folksong with bells and occasional whistles brought demands for an encore. It was with interest that one an-| ticipated the appearance of the Baltimore Arion Society, larger in numbers and noted for the mellow- ness of its tone. Especially pleas- ing was Sonnet's “Matrosengrab.” The two remaining songs, Witt's “Gut’ Nacht ihr Blumen” and Juengel's “Dorfidylle,” offering little | contrast in character, seemed a trifie monotonous. Cordially ap- plauded, the singers repeated the last verse by way of an encore. 1941 Saengerfest Announced. Two selections presented jointly by the singing men societies under Mr. Herzfeld gave promise of ‘a successful saengerfest in 1941, as announced by Dr. Seyfarth, presi- dent of the Northeastern Saenger- bund. On May 30, 31 and June 1 of next year the combined organi- zations, from other parts of the country, are planning a festival of song in Washington. In an ably delivered address in two langauges, Dr. Seyfarth urged those present to join the ranks of the singers to help to make the occasion a greater success. The darker color of men’s voices was brightened by the high and pure tone of the ladies’ chorus of the Washington Saengerbund, heard to the best advantage in three se- lections, two of which were pre- sented with Dr. Kurt Hetzel, the conductor, at the piano. This group of songs, as well as the final one presented by the mixed chorus of the Washington Saengerbund under Mr. Herzfeld, was also encored. Two pianos were used in the last numbers on the program, sung in English, Cadman’s “The: Builder” and Adams’ “The Bells of St. Mary’s,” the accompaniment being supplied by Marietta Vogel, who joined Miss Pedersen at the second piano. Maureen Works Hard For Her Next Role Maureen O’Hara, Ireland’s gift to the screen, is training as strenuously for her next starring role as a champion getting in trim to protect his crown. She will play a chorus girl with Pavlowa ambitions. As such the part will call on her to do plenty of fancy dancing. So for weeks she has been hard at it undsr direction of expert instructions. Muscle- stretching, bone-wrenching exercises which would land the average man in a hospital cot, she says, are a part of her daily routine. Found hard at work on the big cleared floor of the Little Theater at R-K-O studio, Miss O'Hara com- mented: “I do this from 10 to 4 every day. It's been going on for weeks. life in the movies is easy, you say.” The shamrock whom R-K-O- Radio considers a cover is to bs starred her third American-made in pic- | ture in an untitled story by Vicki Baum, who wrote “Grand Hotel.” Erich Pommer will produce it as his first assignment in Hollywood since 1101 Conn. Ave. Di. 2460 deserting the London scene of his world screen triumphs. < APRIL 22, 1940, AMUSEMENTS, Pat O’Brien Plays Rockne To Mrs. Rockne’s Liking But He Catches Cold While Doing It; Evolution: From Just a Brat To Glamour Girl By SHEILAH GRAHAM. HOLLYWOOD. Knute Rockne is asking the girl he loves to marry him. And a middle- aged woman on the sidelines of the close my eyes, it seems as though my set stifles a sigh and murmurs, “If 1 husband is making love to me.” Pat O'Brien is playing the famous Notre Dame football coach in the Warner picture. Gale Page is his wife. Adviser in chief is Rockne’s widow, Mrs. Bonnie Rockne, who, even when she opens her eyes, has to admit that -— O'Brien does & good. job of im- personating her husband. “It took me four hours the first day to get all a this stuff on my A face,” Pat tells ) me. “Here, feel my chin, and my nose, and my forehead.” My finger contacts the rubber under the make-up. Not only does Pat look like Rockne, but he talks like him. “I've studied his voice on rec- ords,” remarks Pat. And he uses Sheilah Graham. a lot of Rockne’s mannerisms— coached by Mrs. Rockne. Pat is not entirely happy today. He has a very bad head cold. He caught it coaching his team in foot- ball passes on a local beach (sup- posed to be the Lake Erie Beach). “Please may I go home to bed?” he asks the director. It .might have been my imagination, but I could swear I heard®the voice of the real Rockne. And it said, “Sissy!” * Kk X The evolution of a brat into a glamour girl. I refer to Jane Withers. “She has grown 4 inches since February,” her mother tells me proudly on “The Brat” set. Jane is now 5 feet 412 inches high and is a bit of a problem for Leading Man Kent Taylor, who may have to wear “lifts” to make Jane appear shorter. “Janey,” continues her mama, “ underweight at 105 pounds. has a 24-inch waist—and is s proud of it!” The 14-year-old Miss Withers was a trifile on the barrel- shape side a.year ago, so her joy in her new elegance is understandable. “She is getting to be quite the young lady,” Mrs. Withers: is speak- T house twice & week and go dancing at the Cocoanut Grove. Jane’s new glamour is currently reserved for private life consump- tion only. In “The Brat” she talks out of the side of her mouth and is as tough as the title suggests. The picture is an “A” production, the first “A” on the Withers' starring schedule. It is under the personal supervision of Darryl Zanuck—also for the first time. The cameraman is George Barnes, who did such a fine job with “Rebecca.” So it would seem that Jane, unlike her long- time rival, Shirley Temple, is des- tined for a big future at Twentieth Century-Fox.

Jane obedi- ently struts her stuff, but becomes a little self-conscious and says, “It’s hard to do it without the music. “Is she interested yet in boys and clothes?” I ask Mrs. Withers when Janey goes back to her cartwheels. (I have been given to understand by those who should know that 14 is the age for the beginning of these things for American girlhood. The English of the species is a little slower.) “Not so much in boys—ex- cept as dan@p partners,” replies Mrs. ‘Withers, “ very much in clothes —particulagly formals. She has eight formgls and a three-quarter length ermine coat.” Her dance partners include Jackle Cooper and Joe E. Brown, jr., who | are both members of a club, “The Gay Teens,” founded by Jane.
