Star Dust % Way Back in Movies % War Cramps Hughes Thomas in Screen Debut By Virginia Vale F THE current crop of young ducers are fairly falling over stake a claim to a slice of it; hardly a day passes that anoth- er historical picture isn’t an- nounced. Though it hardly seems possible, “Hollywood Cavalcade'' is history too, the history of the movies, re- leased for the industry's fiftieth an- niversary. The heroine, played by Alice Faye, is a combination of all those golden-curled girls who used to act before the cameras (and as a rule most of them over-acted), and Don Ameche plays the hero, who is a number of those historic leading men rolled into one. But the hit of the picture, so far as a lot of people are concerned, is the lads who show us how slapstick comedy used to be played. Buster Keaton, Chester Conklin, Ben Tur- pin, Hank Mann, Eddie Collins, Jim. my Finlayson—there they are again, throwing custard pies with vim and vigor, staging a comedy treat for ALICE FAYE the old-timers who used to laugh at them and the new generation who never saw them before. All hail the Keystone cops! And be it said for Alice Faye that she can take a custard pie in the face and come right up for more. Howard Hughes is returning to the picture business, since the war has cramped his style where round-the- world flights are concerned. And he wants a new boy and girl team. He has shown that he's a genius when it comes to discovering and developing talent; he launched Jean Harlow in “Hell's Angels,” you'll remember, and made Paul Muni a motion picture star overnight in “Scarface.” He's shown, too, that he knows how to make pictures. During the long stretch when “Hell's Angels” was considered just a rich man's folly, people who had served their time at picture-making predicted that he'd never get back one-tenth of the money that he was pouring into it. It's still being shown and still making money. 2 John Charles Thomas is going into the movies. Remember the little difference of opinion he had con- cerning his radio appearances, be- cause he wouldn't sing if he couldn't conclude with ‘Good night, Moth. er’? He will sing in the picture in which he makes his screen debut, “Kingdom Come,” whose story deals with American folk music. It will be made by Producers Corpora- ture company. sme It’s going to seem strange to have Nelson Eddy permanently off that Sunday night radio program; a lot ciled to his departure. that, what with concerts, recordings and work in the movies, he hasn't time for regular radio work. ¥ his pictures, but it was almost too much for him at one of his broad- sound effects man was to sometime and see if it sounds like cy hospital. aise ODDS AND ENDS—After having it on and off the schedule since 1936, Metro has finally put “Not Too Narrow, Not Teo Deep” into production, with Joan Craw food and Clark Gable . . .
