MYSTIC LURE WRITE TODAY The Panic Is Over {Continued from page 6j) hotth of A/u.( or $1 for lani' ,U ALVCRk. Dept. K.19, 799 Broidway, New York City told so often of its dumbness, Hollywood believed itself half-wit. But to its surprise, when the chance came, the silent players and directors and technicians gave more to the talkies than the stage crew. The change in medium was less vast. The veterans were more adaptable. For one reason, or another, the Broadway imports didn't click in the studios. Of course, there were exceptions, especially in the musical field. But these, like all exceptions, merely proved the rule. Of the players, not more than a score have definitely delivered. And strange to say, these successes have emanated from the most unexpected sources. One of the outstanding examples is Ruth Chatterton, who was not going so well in the theater, following a series of appearances in plays which not even the most optimistic yes-man might call smash hits: " La Tendresse," " Changelings," "The Magnolia Lady." Another is Jack Oakie, small-time in the theater — but what a wow on the screen. Fredric March is still another. And Frankie Fay. There are a few more — lamentably few. Most of Them Went Back A FEW of the playwrights remained, notably Jimmy Gleason. But the versatile James acts, writes, directs or produces, as the spirit moves him, and may not be considered a criterion. Among the names that meant something to the theater are those of John Colton, George Abbott and Sidney Howard. But it is more likely that these gentlemen will divide their time between stage and screen. Indeed, there is evidence of an overlapping, through which productions for Broadway will emanate from Hollywood, rather than the other way 'round. Perhaps the biggest busts were the stage directors. A pretty chesty lot they were at first, and made the local boys as nearly miserable as a Hollywood director can be. But as soon as the home-town boys got onto their curves, it was easy to see they hadn't so much on the ball after all. The boys who did buy patios and poloponies with their Hollywood gold were the song-writers — the words-and-music men, the librettists and dance directors, and the rest of the tired-business-men-amusers. They went big. And they're still playing Fox against the wolf at the door. Althougl recent reports indicate that for the time, a least, the musical shows and revues are ou of favor, both in Main Stem movie house and out where the hollyhocks drape th I outdoor telephone booths. ] I Housecleaning Is Over IN the musical show-world even the grea Gershwin, and Berlin, himself, wen Hollywood in a nice way. And, the greates threat of all to Broadway, Florenz Zui; feld, Georgie White, Arthur Hahimerstein the firms of Schwab and Mandel, Aaron;, and Freedley — the first line producers of this type of entertainment — showed definite^ interest in creating for the screen. Butjj here, too, the chances are that the defection may not be too permanent. So after all, it seems that good comes fron evil. If, indeed, the coming of the talkie and the resultant chaos may be so referred| to. Without doubt, Hollywood needed to rake out its furnace and shake some of thel clinkers loose. Some of the old favoritesi fell by the wayside. But can you name them?l If not, 'it proves they're not so sadly missed.| And that it was about time for their numbers to come up. If the talkies have deprived us, tem-l porarily, of the mighty Jannings, they havel given us that Ires charmant Chevalier, fori keeps. And Emil may come back, if he pays! attention to his language lessons. In fact,' there is a tale current that January, 1931, will see him with us again. Like two adversaries who have found one another worthy opponents, the theater and the studios seem to have shaken hands. And | the amusement-seeking public profits. Together they will defend the field of entertainment from encroachment, and already I an interchangeability seems evident. The time will come when Hollywood stars will come East to appear in the theater. When plays written in Hollywood by movie folk will be shown on the boards before appearing on the screen. When Broadway and the Western boulevards will hoiise one big, happy family, with the Shuberts and the Warners bucking Wall street together in utter peace and harmony. When there will be a prosperity unprecedented in show-business. The Answer Man {Continued from page 82) no pounds. Latest picture, Le/ Us Be Gay.
