Loyally following the success
ful bock and stage play, the pow
erful John Steinbeck drama, “Of
Mice and Men” is another screen
triumph. In many ways it is more
meaningful than the stage play
in that you are placed amidst na
tural settings which are only
talked about in the footlight ver
sion.
Introduction of the main char
acters before you have even seen
the title of the picture is effec
tive and suggests action and
drama immediately.
Burgess Meredith of “Winter
set” fame enacts the role of
George with rare understanding.
Lennie, his simple-minded bro
ther, is portrayed by Lon Chaney
Jr. who is sterlir g in his perform
ance, although at times he seemed
overeager in his part. The story
revolves around the curious and
powerful devotion of these two
men. The film reaches its peak
when George is forced to execute
his pal.
Betty Field who was last seen
in the adolescent “What a Life”
is the real surprise, in the role of
Curley’s wife who wants to get
on in the world. “Of Mice and
Men” will be a big hit with adult
audiences, and will play at the
McDonald soon.
Hollywood Bulbers
There are 10 important news
paper and movie magazine pho
tographers who can just about
break or make the stars in Holly
wood. ... If in any way the stars
are hard to handle or refuse to
have their picture taken, the pho
tographers in turn can give the
same treatment. . . . They can
accomplish this in many ways,
most hurtful of which is to com
pletely ignore the offender.
Young Deanna Durbin is bal
ancing on the rope of popularity
with the photographers as a re
sult of a few skirmishes. . . . Con
nie Bennett was on the black list
for a while because she kept them
waiting in the rain for three
hours. . . . Ronald Colman is one
of the pet peeves as he demanded
that the manager of a restaurant
give them the heave-ho. . . . Nel
son Eddy doesn’t rate very high
and they pop off bulbs near him
just to annoy him. . . . Artie Shaw
is disliked and when he married
Lana Turner, one of their pets
there was a problem created that
had photographers talking to
themselves.
High on the “pet list" are Bette
Davis, Errol Flynn, Vivien Leigh,
Clark Gable, Carole Lombard,
Gary Cooper, Ann Sheridan, Har
old Lloyd, Bob Hope. . . . The No.
1 favorite is Joan Crawford and
they name their daughters after
her.
Next time you become aware
that one of your favorites rarely
is seen in fan magazines or news
papers you will know that he or
she has been boycotted by the
gents of the lens. ... Or if you see
a matinee idol without his toupe,
or a glamor girl's bow legs, you’ll
know they have been ritzing the
guys who knew them when they
were extras. . . . Two negatives
don’t necessarily make an affirm
ative in these Hollywood feuds.

Alive, bright water colors, char
acterized by strength of color and
sparkle of the general tone stood
out among the pictures shown
yesterday at the Little Gallery of
the art school from the works of
Evelyn Gault Kratt.
“Book Seller Along the Seine,”
showed particularly strong deep
tones in water color. Rhythm and
flow of movement impressed the
eye in “Austrian Village,” another
water color.
“Girl in a Red Jacket," an oil
paintin g of Mrs. Kratt’s daugh
ter shows beautiful reddish and
brown tones, and a lovely expres
sion on the child's face. Another
painting of her daughter is m
softer pastel shades and called
“By a Pool.” “I have to catch her
in an off moment,” Mrs. Kratt
laughingly explains.
“New Fallen Snow,” a swirling,
misty scene which someone re
marked "looks like the snow was
still falling,” and “Rainy Day—
Spring in Oregon,” which shows
the lowering of clouds before a
storm, and the bright emerald
green of the fields, would prob
ably particularly appeal to the
western audience.
Picture frames were treated in
a modern manner, the wood be
ing mottled or shaded in many of
them to harmonize with the color
ing and giving an undistracting
view of the representation.
Mrs. Kratt’s paintings will re
main on display in the Little Gal
lery for the next two weeks. Any
one is welcome to see them.
