He likes to experiment but is more cautious about suggesting it since "The Bitter Tea of ( leneral Yen," which he really liked, proved a Hop. He takes a long time making his films, working often for a year ahead on the script, as he did with "Lost Horizon" and as he's doing now with "You Can't Take It With You." He and his scenariowriter, Robert Riskin, went around asking everyone they met how they'd like to live in Shangri-La and why, before they made "Lost Horizon." Out of all the answers they concocted their idea of a place they'd like to stay forever. And, to a prejudiced observer, it looked just like Hollywood! There are lots of Italians among the better directors. Capra is the dreamer type, his mind seldom off his work, concentrated, and ambitious. Frank Borzage takes his work in his stride, having a lot of fun along with it. He doesn't mind staying up until two in the morning, talking of everything but his picture, and turning up on the set at eight o'clock in fine mettle. His films, even back in "Seventh Heaven" days, have usually been tender love stories. His background is a Utah mind, where he worked as he saved up money for a correspondence course. It was acting that he learned at long distance, but the course didn't help him get a job. He got into the theater as a property boy, back in the days when he was sixteen. Borzage would rather talk about polo than pictures, and about anything but himself. But he'll tell you grand stories about his actors, always with the affection he seems to have for anyone in his cast. It is from their directors that you can learn the truth about the stars, about Carole Lombard's generosity from Wesley Ruggles who directed her in "True Confession" and gives that high-spirited young lady all credit for the picture. Wesley is the brother of Charlie Ruggles, but much more serious about his comedy. He got scared in the middle of "True Confession" because everything was going so well. Carole always arrived early in the morning. She had sent flowers to Una Merkel, whom she had never met, on the day that Metro actress first reported on the Paramount lot. She had kept the whole cast good-tempered. Ruggles couldn't believe his luck. He was still scared, till the picture opened and began building up box office receipts. Ruggles will tell you of that month at Sun Yallev, Idaho, when everyone had a vacation but himself. He didn't dare ski like Claudette Colbert, or skate like Melvyn Douglas. Someone had to avoid a broken leg, and probably that person had better be the director. There's only one woman director now in Hollywood. She is the tailored, hardworking Dorothy Arzner. She is a much more colorful character than most of the stars, with a Hollywood background that began in her childhood. Her father ran the old Hoffman cafe where William S. Hart Erich von Stroheim, D. W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, Wallace and Noah Beery, Raymond Griffith, Frank Lloyd and the rest of the pioneers used to eat whenever they could afford it. They used to talk about directing. Dorothy, sitting on James Cruze's knee, knew all about studios long before she had ever been inside one. Years later she got her first movie job as a typist in the script department. She began to hunt other jobs, to work as a script girl, to assist the cutters, to write scenarios on her own time. She has not made many pictures. Hollywood still is wary of women directors. Last year she directed "Craig's Wife," and this year "The Bride Wore Red." She is a crisp young woman, who thinks there is a decidedly large place in motion pictures for women. Miss Arzner does not go in for glamor. She is too busy. But for glamor, real glamor, there is always Walt Disney. Even in Hollywood, where Greta Garbo hides out so publicly, there is curiosity about Walter Edward Disney. Mr. Disney makes no attempt to hide out. He's always there, in his studio playing with Mickey Mouse or the Seven Dwarfs, or at home playing with his own small daughters. Kay Francis can talk about the clothes she will wear in her next film, and Spencer Tracy about how bad he was in his last film. He is always sure he was bad in his last film. But Walt Disney knows why he made "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and whether or not Dopey is likely to become as big a star as Donald Duck. He knows that there are certain vital rules about animated cartoons, one that forbids real harm coming to any animal, even a villain, which has been individualized. He will say too that anything can be made likeable, even a spider. There's rather a cute spider in "Snow White." He's sure that, if he wanted to try, he could turn a snake into a hero. . There's usually both simplicity and vital WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE... Without Calomel— And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to Go The liver should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk. A mere bowel movement doesn't get at the cause. It takes those good, old Carter's Little Liver Pills to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." Harmless, gentle, vet amazing in making bile flow freely. Ask for "Carter's Little Liver Pills by name. 25c at all drug stores. Stubbornly refuse anything else.
