Box 1302 Fort Worth, Texas judge's water pitcher and knocks it over, drenching His Honor and the brief. "A fine mess!" Solon Bates explodes, leaping up. "How do you expect me to read a wet brief? This'll cost you— where's that thing?" looking for his gavel. He pounds his desk with it. "Court's adjourned!" He glares at Cary. "Harvard man !" It's the last day of shooting and everyone is trying to get everybody else's goat. Once they hide the judge's gavel so he can't find it. Another time {when Cary tips his head back a property man is supposed to pull an invisible string to tip the pitcher over), the prop man doesn't pull the string and the water doesn't spill. Another time, Bates blows up and instead of saying, "How do you expect me to read a wet brief," he says, "wet scenario." Another time, between takes, Irene is sitting with her legs crossed and Cary gets the camera man to take a flash-light picture of her limbs. "Oh!" Irene exclaims, jumping up. "Just want to get a little leg art," Cary explains briefly. They're about three hours getting this one shot, but it doesn't matter because it's the last day and everyone has to be paid for a full day's time, anyhow. I forgot to mention, Garson Kanin is directing this and if this kid (he's only about 30) isn't one of the biggest directors in the business in a year or two I miss my guess. * * * THE other picture on this lot is "Tom Brown's School Days," adapted from the famous best seller of other days. The scene is not important. Josephine Hutchinson (and wait'll you see her as the mother in "My Son, My Son!") is asking her husband, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, not to go out as he isn't well. I don't know either of the principals, so there's no use lingering here. I leave for — Warner Brothers I KNOW a lot of people here. First off, I run into James Cagney, Pat O'Brien and Ann Sheridan who are working in "Torrid Zone." That's the name of the picture although any place Annie is would be "Torrid Zone." "Fine thing!" Cagney greets me. "We've been back from the Vineyard three weeks and not a chirp out of you. My wife is sore as the dickens." I am tempted to remind him they can make out-going calls on their phone as well as I, but I'm always putting my foot in my mouth so I just say, "I was going to call you" and let it go. "What happened to that story you did on my new house?" Pat demands. "It'll appear presently," I assure him% "Were you the guy who started all that stuff in the Harvard Lampoon about me?" Annie bristles. "Maybe I shouldn't have come out here today," I hedge, and then I realize they are all ribbing me, so I decide to have a little fun myself. "Say, Jim," I put it up to Cagney, "are you really going to fly back to Martha's Vineyard for three days when the pict is over, just to be there when your m has her colt?" "What????" Jimmie howls. "I read it in the paper," I tell 11 solemnly. •'For' Pete's sake!" he explodes. " much of this tripe as you write, you lieve everything you see in print!" "/ beg your pardon," I retort with much dignity as I can muster (which very little at best), "I don't write trip "Not much!" Jim sniffs. Bloodshed is avoided when Willi Keighley (who directs one successful i ture after another) calls them for a ta Well, Pat's the heavy in this pict and Jimmie is Handsome Harry. An is the red-haired siren, who figures ri heads will be a novelty in the trop and Helen Vinson (who has decided discard temperament for awhile) is other girl. Anyhow, some bandits rai< banana plantation (of which Jimmie foreman). As they dash away Jimi dashes out of the bunk house and fire few shots after them. Ann and He Vinson rush out and Ann knocks his a up so he won't hit anyone. He and ^| are constantly arguing, but they love e;| other allee samee. "You be out at the house at 7 sharp," Jimmie calls after me. "We'll ]l on the feed bag." "You're a cinch," I tell him. ?Jc ^ 1 ALSO shooting on this lot is the \ • make of "The Sea Hawk," starrj Errol Flynn. When this picture was oil inally made it starred Milton Sills (J ceased) and one of the loveliest girls II ever known, Dorothy Mackaill. In 1585, England's fortunes were ail low ebb under Queen Elizabeth (Flu Robson) and its future was threaterl by Spain and the traitorous EngM Chancellor, Lord Wolfingham (Heti Daniell). To bring their plans to qui fruition, Don Alverez (Claude Rains), | companied by his niece, Maria (Breii Marshall), has been dispatched as a| bassador to England. Among EnglanS heroes of the time are sea fighters prey on Spanish ships and bring the ri booty home to fill their country's dwl dling coffers. One of these is Errol Fiji and he is just now in the process of lo't ing the ship on which Rains is a passeng J We find them in Maria's cabin with Ijj uncle and her maid (Una O'Connor). "Stand over there, please," Flynn jj ders the Spaniards, taking scant no\ of them. "Burke, you go through drawers." "Are you the captain of these pirate: Rains demands furiously, clenching | hilt of his sword. "Pile the contraband over here, Burk Flynn orders, not deigning to a?isi Mr. R. "I am King Philip's Ambassador, L Alverez de Cordoba de Sev — " Rains nounces in a helpless fury. "Pardon me, sir, we're pressed time," Errol says briefly. "Your sh\
