Hollywood Filmograph (Jan-Dec 1932)

HOLLYWOOD FILMOGRAPH Actors Pan Producers for Seeking New Talent in Colleges Italy, for the First Time Includes Motion Pictures in International Art Exhibit World-Wide Have A Great Production Lineup Trem Carr Announces Rest of Monogram Program CHARGE UNFAIR COMPETITION DEPRIVES THEM OF LIVING— JUST LARK FOR BOYS AND GIRLS Over on the United Artists Studios lot they are picking college boys and girls to appear in Eddie Cantor's picture, "The Kid from Spain," according to some of the actors and actresses who have been crowded out of the picture are losing no lime to voice their sentiments, AND ARE PANNING THE PRODUCERS. We for one don't blame 'em, for they are studio workers who have given their all to help maintain this industry; men and women of family obligations, who, instead of being discouraged are entitled to be encouraged and given a chance to make an honest living instead of bringing in more people in this already overcrowded business. To the college boys and girls most of them from wealthy families, it is more of a lark than anything else, a chance to meet some movie actors, get the stars to autograph their books and even annoy them for personally signed pictures. Ye Editor recently voiced our sentiments anenl this self same thing when David Selznick sent a representative to the colleges of the country to find new faces. We came right out in the open and told Mr. Selznick that he Was wrong, and that First National and Universal in the past tried this self same thing and failed and that all they found, was a lot of boys and girls who went heywire — yes, Hollywood — and the best that they received out of it was a ruined life for they were no longer fit to carry on their studies in their colleges. You can locate plenty of FINDS right here in Hollywood if you are really sincere — outside of here, ONCE IN A LIFETIME. ABOUT THE ARTISTRY OF ONE HENRI SABIN Henri Sabin, who drew the picture of Tom Mix that adorns our cover this Week, has been in Hollywood about 18 months and is already beginning to realize his ambition. Henri has high hopes of becoming a very successful artist, and even though he is practically a newcomer here, has made paintings of many motion picture stars, including Clark Cable, Jackie Cooper, George Raft, Thelma Todd, Sidney Fox, Walter Huston, George Stone and others. He stales that George Raft is his favorite subject, but it is no wonder for hasn't he gone in a big way for the latest star find and who reminds one so much of the late Rudolph Valentino of whom Henri Was one of the staunchest admirers back in those days. j Bernard Dye Works i In Hollywood Since 1917 Phone GL-1501 U.

His announcement gives workers new hope, since the major studios are slow on getting into action. Drama, mystery and comedy are all included in its line-up of pictures, which includes the following: "Gambling in Souls" screen Version of the play "Recklessness" by Eugene O'Neill.

Curiously enough our gaze fell upon Esther Brodelet, a luscious brunette. In dedicating this column to Esther, this week, we need make no apologies. Esther has danced her way through many motion picture productions and was, for about 18 months, under contract to Warner Bros. First National Studios. In recalling some, of these pictures, we well remember "Top Speed," "Show of Shows," and "The Last Flight." Esther has been dancing nightly at Stark's Bohemian for about seven months, being held over by popular demand. More recently Miss Brodelet has been the target for considerable attention by motion picture people, and it is the opinion of the "Spoiler" that the "czars" of the motion picture industry will also be shouting, "we want Esther." • • 9 ISLE OF LOST SOULS GARRETT FORT having finished the continuity and adaptation of "70,000 WITNESSES" for Charles Rogers has been as signed to "THE ISLE OF LOST SHIPS" which is to be a starring Vehicle for CHAS.
