Hollywood Folk Visit Warner's Salem Outpost
What do movie stars talk about
when they're not on public exhi
bition? What is everybody talking
about these days? The war. of
coarse. And out of the eight clne
ntlitit whn naid Salem a Visit
Wednesday, there were at least
tmn Mneciallr Qualified to talk
about present conditions In Eu
rope.: One was James Stephenson,
who was the youngest captain la
the British army la the world war
though we didn t nna mat oui
from him and the other was boy-
denish Lia Lis. the Russian girl
who nlayed in "Confessions of a
Nazi Spy' and-who has had some
experience with the uestapo in
real life. 1
Buf la general, movie, actors
talk about the war Just as avidly
and unauthoritative as leas
prominent folk and of course.
they speculate-on bow It's going
to affect their business, even as
you and I.
May Boom Movies
On that score the general
opinion la that the galloping tin
type business will not suffer; may
even prosper, because tn wartime
people- need, relaxation for tired
nerves.' Even soldiers need to be
entertained, and it will take a lot
of movies to entertain them back
of the fighting lines. i
' For this very reason, that enter
tainment in these times must be
diverting, there is not likely to. be
coon a new rush of war pictures:
Instead the two present trends will
continue, the Warner Bros, con
tingent agreed; the historical pic
tures, with a wealth of material
only the surface of which has been
scratched, and the "family" pic
tures of ordinary home life. Think
how the boys away at the wars
would gobble up the Hardys and
Higginses and Joneses!
As for Salem's distinguished
guests aside from the two already
mentioned, there was Claire Wind
sor, tall and gracious, known to
every movie fan; Gloria Dickson.
with an air of sophistication but
avidly Interested in art Including
Oregon's capltol murals; Lucile
Fairbanks who didn't trade on
the name of her illustrious Uncle
Doug to get into the movies; Jean
Gilbert who likewise 'concealed
the fact that she was Margaret
Lindsey's sister until she was in;
and Rosella Towne.'who could be

easily identifiable as the worth
less brother of the heroine in
"Dodge City. ".Stephenson, a ver

"heavies," is going, to appear as
Fhilo Vance In the near future
And then there is Ronald Reagan,

pictures, and who is master of
