In five years he's done all right.
They ranged from blonde Vir
ginia Bruce to Brunette Hedy La-
marr. The most recent addition
is red-haired Greer Garson.
Included are Irene Dunne, Joan
Crawford, Janet Gaynor, Barbara
Stanwyck, Maureen O'Sullvian,
Binnie Barnes, Margaret Sullivan,
Eleanor Powell and Florence Rice.
But be strictly steers clear of
picking a favorite.
"All of them were very pleas

matically. Then adds:
"Of course, I married Barbara."

Toil Overtime
Wages and Honrs Act Is
no Bother to Krazy "
and His Pals
HOLLYWOOD. Oct.
There are movie producers who
can slave-drive their juvenile stars
without tear of child welfare
groups and who can work their
fonr-legged employes to the bone
without a whimper from the
SPCA.
James Bronls is one. He's the
bead of Screen Gems, a Columbia
producing organization.
"Our "stock company," ex
plains Bronia, "is composed of
characters developed in our ani
mated cartoons.
"Our lively Juvenile star, Scrap
py, often works in 10 or 11 pic
tures at once, yet the educational
authorities never have to reprove
us.
No Kate' Guild
"Krazy Kat may work in half
a dozen of the 27 pictures we have
In production now Without suf
fering the slightest physical harm
or inciting the anger of any ani
mated animals guild. .
"There is no danger of one of
our stars being tied up in another
picture or at another studio. But
we still have casting problems."
The trouble is, say Bronis, yon
can never tell how appealing a
cartoon character, however Quaint
or humorous on paper, will be
when brought to life.
"We give each new character a
'physical' examination, says Bro-
nis.
They Run Gamut
"We try him out in every imag
inable acrobatic action, and we
put him through dramatic tests
make him run the gamut of pen-and-ink
emotions.
"If he passes all these satisfac
torily, he gets a special test for
the part in mind. If he succeeds
in a minor role if he clicks with
the public then we make him the
hero of his own cartoon."
The elf-like beings in "The
Happy Tots" passed the tests and
are in their second color rhapsody.
The Blue Birds, a new "family"
group, are in their third cartoon.
But Bronis favors three new
comers in "The House That Jack
Built;" an ostrich, a beaver and
a bear. Especially the ostrich.
, "There's one actor," he says,
that won't lay an egg."

"Golden Boy" Headlines Offerings, Which Include
"Captain Fury" and "Thunder Afloat"
Clifford Octets' prize-winning play, "Golden Boy," the
story of a fighter who would rather have been a violinist,
headlines the offerings of Salem theatres this week.
The Group Theatre success on Broadway, comes to the
Grand in its film version with William Holden, hailed as a
bright new star in the Hollywood heavens, in the title role.
Like Brenda Joyce, hailed last week as the greatest screen find
in five years, Holden, hailed this week as the greatest screen find in
five years, was picked off a college campus.
Timely is the Elsinore's presentation, "Thunder Afloat," in which
Wallace Beery plays the part of a two-fisted tugboat captain who tries
to fight a war against the U-boats single handed.
Victor McLaglen, who has never quite come up again to his su
perb performance In "The Informer," has one of his best roles in
recent years in "Captain Fury," billed at the State. Brian Aherne is
co-starred in a story of the adventures of Captain Michael Fury, Aus
tralia's "Robin Hood."
Edward G. Robinson appears In another of his criminal roles in
"Blackmail" at the Capitol.
