HOLLYWOOD STAR LITES
By Chuck Cochard
HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) —
It’s the little things that annoy
movie producers! They can glib
ly assign a million dollars or
more to production and then
have the whole structure come
a cropper because of some minor
oversight.
In every studio there is a force
of trained personnel whose spec
ial talent it is to look after those
little things and keep them in
line. Long before a picture rolls
they are burning the midnight
oil; they are thumbing through
the dusty, musty archives and j
poring over thousands of photo
graphs making sure that every
last detail is exactly as it should
be.
This group is dignified by the
title of “research deparmtent” !
and if they don’t know it, or
can’t find it out, it doesn’t exist, j
The Goldwyn researchists com
piled a ponderous file of inform|
ation about—of all things—New1
York City for Samuel Goldwyn’s
“They Shall Have Music” which
stars the world-renowed violin- j
ist Jascha Heifetz.
To the layman, a front-office
command, “build me a New York!
tenement street,” sounds like a I
comparatively simple thing. A ^
certain amount of laundry on
the line, a few fire escapes, oc-!
casional pushcart vendors, and
there it is.
But there are New York laws
governing those fire escapes;1
there are types of laundry; there
are characteristic designs to i
those pushcarts; fire hydrants
have a particular design and,
even the policeman’s uniform
moist conform to regulations.
Errors of commission or om
ission bring anguished screams
of pain from critical audiences, a ■
condition to be assidiously avoid i
ed. For that reason, the research
department asks itself thousands
of questions, those that are logic j
al, those that are illogical and j
those that should never be ask I
ed but probably will be.
Another dramatic shot in the
name film was of the interior of I
Carnegie Hall, a landmark so
familiar to any New Yorker or
New York visitor that it had to
be faithfully reproduced even to
the number of feathers in the
wings of papier-mache cherubs
who surround the proscenium
arch.
Authenticity must be obtained
, at any cost.

If you re interested, Sandy,
that clever boy of "East Side of
Heaven, is really a 16-months
old daughter of a Los Angeles!
milkman. After two films, the
studio will let her depict a girl j
in "Hello Stranger” with Hugh I
Herbert. Her first two pictures
! were with Mischa Auer.
—
J "Stanley and Livingstone” is a
| film based on that historical ev
! ent the search for the lost ex
plorer Dr. David Livingstone —
of course with a few bits of fic
tion added for entertainment val
ue. Story: Bennett, fiery publish
er of New York World, doesn’t
believe British press reports that
Livingstone is dead and sends
Stanley in search because he be
lieves it will be the greatest
story in the history of journal
ism. Spencer Tracy as Stanley is
tops. Sir Cedric Hardwicke,
Charles Colburn, Nancy Kelly,
Richard Greene are the support
ing players.
_
"Lady of the Tropics” starring
Robert Taylor, Hedy Lamarr,
and Joseph Schildkraut is dis
appointing because it was loose
ly produced—poor story, etc.
The picture will be box office fori
the one reason that it has Am- (
erica’s glamour girl Hedy La-!
marr. And they won’t be disap-1
pointed because she proves again
she has plenty of it.
