The Pictures That You Will See In April Are Now In The Making, Watched Over By S. R. Mook
On the Warner Lot
A NOTHER big month in the studios /A with lots doing all around. At J Warner Brothers they have Paul Muni's new picture, "Black Fury," which also features William Gargan and Karen Morley. It is a story of the coal and iron regions. Although no locale is given, I get the impression that it is Pennsylvania. The scene is a dance hall in a mining town. Muni and Karen are walking across the floor with another couple, towards another table in the foreground where Slim (Gargan) is standing.
"Whew!" Paul whews. "I gets all steamed up!" The other couple laugh and leave them. Paul glances at Karen and sees she is staring at Gargan.
Bill greets him casually. "Hello, Joe."
"Slim!" Paul exclaims, stepping over to Bill and making quite a fuss over him. "How you do?"
Karen smiles wanly, seeming to be uncomfortable in the presence of the two men, and 1 immediately suspect there is some under cover stuff going on between her and Bill.
But Bill is quite self-possessed. "Fine, Joe," he answers.
"Say, it's good I see you," Paul begins, bubbling over with good humor. Suddenly he turns to Karen and excitedly whispers something in her ear. She seems to be apprehensive at what he is telling her but Paul does not notice it. He continues aloud, effusively, "Sure! Why not? He good feller. I like him." Suddenly he turns to Bill, "Slim! I want you should come by wedding from Anna and me."
"Say! That's swell!" Bill announces enthusiastically, shaking hands with Paul. But the glance he shoots Karen confirms my suspicions.
"Even you be coal policeman," Paul announces, pumping his hand vigorously, "I ask you just the same."
"O.K." Bill agrees, "but you gotta let me kiss the bride."
"You asking too much," Paul retorts looking proudly at Karen and scratching his head uncertainly. Then he playfully pokes Bill in the ribs with his elbow. "But you come, anyhow. We see!"
I can't get over Gargan. The last time we got crocked together, just before he went to Europe, he looked like an elephant. Now, they call him Slim— and I don't only mean in the picture. He's lost thirty-two pounds.
"Easy," he smiles when I exclaim over it.
"All I did was cut out bread, potatoes and starches, only eat half as much of everything else as I used to and take a few simple setting up exercises every morningnothing strenuous." He looks me over appraisingly. "I can see I'm going to have to take you in charge. You're nobody's sylph!"
"Me!" I exclaim. "What the devil are you talking about. I've just lost an inch, around the waist. I had to so I could get) my clothes fastened." Ji ~> bae^o)
"It's not enough," Bill announcesv-judiw ciously. "Nowhere near enough."
