Even though the assembled news- paper and magazine motion pic- ture critics are accustomed—nay, hardened. — to the presence of celebrities,.there is an undercur- nt. cotBhéy’re: delaying the screen- 4 0) »whjgpe rs to his neighbor. “Patl''Muni‘is expected.” «Vi Tat thy doubts. Only two days before, dver a’ dinner in Long- champs, Paul’ Muni had told me that he never saw any of his mo- tion pictures—in all his life had seen himself on the screen only once. No particular reason; he just didn’t. >The-screening started without Mr. Muni's presence. But the un- dercurrent of excitement remain- ed, for the picture was “The Com- mandos Strike at Dawn,” and the star is Paul Muni. Something of a super-colossal epic, set in Nor- way before and during the war heightened by a commando raid —but still and all, a Paul Muni picture. Gets Deference It’s a strange thing, the excite- ment that Paul Muni’s activities can create. Strange,, too, that a casual press has taken to referring to him as “Mr.” Muni, thus making STRIKING COMMANDO — Paul Muni in a scene from his current Movie, Joneses and Smiths who get the ordinary treatment in print. - Any relative newcomer to the Broadway scene can feel this dif- ference, because he is quickly Muni. You saw it this past fall, when he came back to Broadway for a revival of “Counsellor-at-Law,” the play which gave him: his*big push toward fame eleven years ago. If anyone but Paul Muni had appeared in this revival, which seems due to run for several months more, the critics probably would have ripped it to pieces. The story wanders along aim- lessly, but pleasantly. It’s about a double-cross, but still and all, its a’ Paul Muni play. Fundamentally Himself The reason for it all, conceding that Mr. Muni is a superb actor and thus deserving of salaams, is that he is fundamentally himself. His-conversations and his manner- isms during that dinner*were no different than I might have ex- That may explain the apparent contradiction between Mr. Muni’s roles and his off-stage presence. His first notable screen role was “Scarface,” in 1932, a picture he didn’t want to make and one he has never seen. That was followed by a series of gangster pictures. Later came a series of biographi- STRAND THEATER GALE STORM in “RHYTHM PARADE” 5 : "Tortilla Flat” = Fa = Phone 177_ . i|left for them to do. ‘| However, each January the as: , | Sociation met and duly elected 12! just the idea not to do anything | 1 COUNTY OFFICERS | "PRESENT REPORTS Three county fee officials made ; | reports last night at the meeting} of the County Commissioners.
