Hollywood Filmograph (Jan-Dec 1932)

12 DEC. 10, 1932 I MISS MAE MURRAY TAKES HAND IN COMPLIMENTING CHET GARDNER, HELMET DASH VICTOR AT AMERICAN LEGION ASCOT SPEEDWAY \ The Italian Helmet dash last Sunday afternoon at the American Legion Ascot Speedway, wasn't very close, b ec a u s e Wilbur Shaw had a n accident which shorted his ignition of his car, but it was thrilling enough for Chet Gardner, the victor of the race, for Miss Mae Murray not only presented him with the Italian Helmet, but here we have the proof of a kiss that was planted by the famous stage and screen star, whom the world has acclaimed gorgeous and golden, through her beauty and ability, both as an actress and remarkable dancer. Was Chet Gardner pleased? Look at him and see if you need ask any further questions. There were close to 1 0,000 race fans present and Miss Murray was given quite an ovation and a round of applause after she had performed the honors for the American Legion. MAE MURRAY AND CHET GARDNER RKO-UNIVERSAL STUDIO TENNIS TEAMS WILL PLAY A challenge of the Radio Pictures Studio tennis team issued to Universal has been accepted by the latter organization and the teams will meet in match play on or about December 18, according to Albert J. Cohen, captain of the Universal team. The Radio organization, composed of Solly Baiano, George Archainbaud and Pandro Berman, recently defeated Paramount. The Universal squad, in addition to Cohen, is composed of Carl Laemmle, Jr., and Gouveneur Morris. Laemmle's game is reported to be excellent following several workouts at Palm Springs on recent week-ends. Paramount reports having purchased the talkie rights to "The Great Magoo," current New York success by Fowler and Hecht. It will be among their early productions of next year.

KIDDIES By JIMMY VALENTINE Mickey Rooney Is Making a Name for Himself in Cinemaland's Best Features "Officer 13," produced by Allied Pictures starring Monte Blue, has Mickey Rooney playing one of the leading roles, and if this kid doesn't tear loose tears galore from your eyes we miss our guess. Warner Bros, have just signed "Mickey" for one of the featured parts in "The Sucker," starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and upon finishing this part he goes to Universal for "The Big Cage." This youngster is to our way of thinking, star material for the majors, and the sooner they realize this the better it will be for all concerned. JANET STUART AMUSES KIDDIES AND GROWNUPS Every now and then Janet Stuart is called upon to entertain. No matter if it is a kiddie show or one made up of grownups, she is right at home. Just like she is in pictures. The bigger the role the better this charming child seems able to act. • • • • • RUTH GRACE and GUY GRACE rehearsing their little act to present during the holidays. PRETTY DOROTHY GRAY, who is enacting the role of "Ann" in M-G-M's "Turn About," is attracting a lot of attention for her acting ability, and it seems that several other good parts are in the offing for this child actress. GLAD TO NOTE that Paramount Studios have finally opened their eyes to the dramatic ability of little JERRY TUCKER and have decided to keep this child contract player busy again. PATRICIA SMITH is proud to have been a pupil of Johnny Weissmuller. Patricia is an expert high diver and under water swimmer as well as a clever Apache dancer and entertainer. BILLY SHIRLEY, the golden voiced 1 1 -year boy soprano, has recently come from Indianapolis where he was chosen from 500 applicants to sing solos before an audience of 10,000 people. This sunny haired boy is already very popular in Hollywood. He sang Xmas carols in "Acquitted" for Columbia Studios. Last Wednesday he sang at the Ambassador Theater and is to take the part of the Prince in the Children's Operetta to be given very shortly. Billy's acting is proving as good as his singing, which is saying much. BRADLEY METCALF seems headed to take the place of the very popular Leon Janney. Bradley resembles Leon a great deal and critics predict a good future for this new find. Interviews at the various studios are keeping him very busy these days. LITTLE JERRY DOYLE, termed by Paul Whiteman as the "Queen of the Air," is permanently settled in Hollywood, and will make her debut in pictures very shortly. MAE MOORE HAS WORKED IN SOME VERY GOOD PICTURES All some people need to get ahead is an opportunity to work in some good pictures. Mae Moore has done this and has had a chance to prove her worth. You are due to see her to good advantage in "Hotel Continental," "Hearts of Humanity," "Yellow Ticket." Phil Harris Is Hit in "So This Is Harris" Lou Brock's RKO comedy "So This Is Harris," built around Phil Harris, music master of the Cocoanut Grove, is a wow. Novelty is the keynote around which the story was wrapped and it is one of the few musical comedies that are really musical and funny. Phil Harris is the motif, the theme being the craze of the womenfolk over his singing as contrasted with the boredom of the more stalwart sex from the same cause. Walter Catlett, an expert home-brewer, is perhaps one of the most disgusted individuals with the Harris craze and fairly distroys a radio as a consequence. His wife has the opposite reaction. Walter meets Phil at the golf course at a time when a friend of his wife has an appointment with Phil in response to a mash note and inveigles Walter's wife to go along. The scenes at the golf course are gagged in a very natural and clever manner throughout, the gags get big and natural belly laughs, credit for which goes to the inimitable Walter Catlett. Phil Harris was very good. His songs went over very big. The women in the cast, Helen Collins and June Brewster, were both splendid and very easy to look at. James Finlayson also had a small part. Credit Bert Glennon with some excellent photography particularly with his fade changes which were unique and very different. Mark Sandrich did a fine job with the direction which called for much farcial finesse. Ben Holmes and Mark Sandrich wrote the story and Will Jason and Val Burton the lilting jingles. —LOU JACOBS MICKEY WALKER STOPS ARTHUR DE KUHN IN JIG TIME The Olympic Club gave us a chance to see Mickey Walker in action and used Arthur De Kuhn as the bad example of what a fighter should look like stacked against class. Mickey wouldn't work overtime, so he stopped Arthur in a jiffy, in fact he stopped him quicker than that in the very first round. So we will have to wait another chance and time to see Mickey Walker in action. Such fiascos, although no fault of Col. Jack and Tom Doyle, hurt the boxing game, and should be avoided. The crowd razzed poor Mister De Kuhn, not contented with having allowed Mister Walker to lambast him for their good old American dollars, as the prize.
