Motion Picture (Aug 1937-Jan 1938)

On the Sets with the Stars [Continued from page 58] before Callahan realized his supply was being seriously depleted. "D LEASE leave swallows outside" 1 reads a sign on Universal's 100 Men and a Girl set. Explanation: Outside the stage, several families of swallows are nesting. Now and then, the young fall out of the nests. Tenderhearted actors carry the birds into the stage, where they chirp furiously for mama. Chirps ruin the sound track. So: "Please leave swallows outside." ... In a scene in Universal's That's My Story, a gang of newspaper reporters start throwing ice-picks. Reporters include Claudia Morgan, Bill Lundigan, Eddie Garr. Toughest job on the set is that of Prop-Boy Danny Fish, who stands just outside of camera-range, wearing a baseball catcher's mask and chest-protector, catching the flying ice-picks . . . Also during That's My Story, noted character actor Ralph Morgan and his noted stage-actress daughter, Claudia, met for the first time on a movie stage. Ralph plays the city editor; Claudia one of the sob-sisters. The first day papa Ralph walked onto the set while Claudia was in a take, she became so embarrassed because her dad was watching her that she "blew up" in her lines. "It's all right," papa told her; "I felt the same way when I first went from stage to screen." DURING SHOOTING of Sam Goldwyn's Dead End, three crates of lettuce were used up each day. They were broken up, strewed on the water that represents the East River, to make it look like the refusestrewn surface of the river itself. Sylvia Sidney, Hollywood knitting champ, finished three sweaters between takes of Dead End. . . . Neatest production trick of the month : At 6 : 15 p. m. one night, Allan Jones finished work at M-G-Af studio in A Day At The Races. At 6 p. m. the next day, he was needed to work on location, many miles away in the mountains, in The Firefly. Location was far from the railroad ; to have driven there would have left Jones so tired he couldn't have worked. Solution : M-G-M hired an ambulance, let Jones sleep in it while being driven, overnight, to location, several hundred miles away ! WALTER CATLETT had the time of his life at 20th-Fox in the scene in Love Under Fire where he had to run wild in a hotel lobby, smash things. Furiously, wildly, madly, Catlett crashed chairs to the floor, tore up rugs, broke vases and lamps. After the scene, he exulted: "I've been wanting to do that for 30 years, but first my mother and then my wife kept me in line!" Did you know that Romo Vincent has used the same hat in all his pictures for the past ten years?
