Sure. 1 do not deny r.. But why didn't they take him before I made 'Henry the Eighth?' Leslie Howard Is a tre- mendous star. Certainly. I admit it. There con be no doubt of It. Hut his very first film was made for me in London, 'Service for Indies." and he received for maitlng the film what lie can now charge for a weclt.' And Korda doesn't think he, him- self, is such .'I genius, cither. It's just that he knows talent when he sees it and he discovered an early trick, he says. ust Have Talent 'I re.'.lized that to make films I must have star talent,' he explained. 'But I couldn't afford to ))ay for stars. And that is the difference. I think I know where today I can put my hand.s on half a do/.cn little actors, cheap actor.s, $200 or $.'iOO a week actors, who tomorrow can be as big as Lauphton or Oberon or anybody else, if they got a chance.

B'way^s Bis: (Continued from page 1) weather drew New Yorkers back to town until crowds became so big In the downtown section that they were literally pushed off the streets Into the theatres. But this year they had the money to get past the doors. Every house, including the newsreel theatre, -Embassy, had lobby holdouts. Even the cheaper double fe-ature stands were selling out. Almost every key throughout the country enjoyed the best weekend business by a big margin since 1929. The holiday weather nationally was Inclement. Legit Shows Business In the legit theatres was the turnaway on Labor Day that managers have hoped for year after year.

Trade, came mostly from' out-of-towners as In- dicated by the demand for moderate priced tickets, nearly all the eale being .direct at the box offices. Night. Clubs The New York crowds reacted likewise In favor of the niterles, class bars and restaurants. The smart, "reformed drinking type of restaurant on the morrow after Labor Day all voiced regrets ot liaving closed down for the longf week-end, as many make It a sum« mer practice to call it a week Fri- day night. Saturdays and Sundays as a general thing are bad over the summer as the smart patronage hies to the shore and club resorts. But with the New Year's evelsh numbers downtown, the Broadway and Park avenue Joints were some- what saddened cither through hav- ing shut down or being unprepared for the unanticipated weather break. See Improvement Improved conditions and general outlooJ{ has encouraged tllm pro- ducers, major and Independent,. to largest budgets this year since 1929. Bankers' finances are freer; same la true In the realty field. This summer brought encourage^ ment to film prodiicer-dlstrlbutors, and theatre operators alike, despite the product over the summer aver- aging up low. Even heat waves, which menaced box offices In most sections of the country, sliowed aa actual Increase In theatre business of about 10% as against 1934. The Texas territory showed a Jump of 10%, also other parts of the south held up strongly.

Brennan, head of local one of the stage hands union announced that the deckhands would reiiuiro double wages for Sundays. He stated that If the actors took that position, the st.-xire hands also had the privilege. Move ot the union caused some surprise, since Brerinan strongly ad- vocated the new Sunday law and went on the air with an address urging citizens to write their assem- Iili'mcn to vote for the measure. Laborltcs throughout the state were represented in Albany when the Sunday legislation was being con- sidered and all unionists were In favor of it except Equity. Stage hands were exnected to pome out for regular wages on Sundays for legit theatres.
