HOLLYWOOD STAR-IITES
By Chuck Cochard
HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) —
For years the movie critics thru
Out the world have been yelling
for realism —for down to the
earth -stories that depict life as
it really is.
Hollywood finally succumbed
to this cry and today its studios
are turning out the most realis
tic films in the history of the mo
tion picture business, but the
critics are once more complain
ing that they are too real—-It is i
just another cycle that will soon j
pass into oblivion just like the
musical films, the outdoor pic
tures, the slapstick comedies and
others.
In looking back over 1939 it
will go down in the history of
the motion picture industry as I
the Year of Deglamorization. For;
years your favorite feminine star!
could go through forest fires, a
flo.d, a hurricane, or any other
thrilling even and come through
without even getting one little
hair out of order or a wrinkle
in her French gown. Last year
found those same glamour girls
being pushed around as if they
were roughhouse comics or heav
im.
Marlene Dietrich was deglam
orized for her role in ‘Destry
Rides Again.” Joan Crawford for
her latest “Strange Cargo.” Alice
Faye in "Hollywood Cavalcade”
and even Greta Garbo in “Nin
otchka.”
If you’re interested Mickey
Rooney was the biggest mail at
traction at the box offices of Am
erican theaters, according to the
recent Hollywood Reporter poll.
Tyrone Power, Spencer Tracy,
Gene Autry, and Errol Flynn fol
lowed in order for the year.
Bette Davis led all the women
as the feminine star w’ho drew
the most money at your box of
fice. Deanna Durbin, Alice Faye,
Norma Shearer and Sonja Henie,
followed in order.
The surprise of the year was
the drop of Shirley Temple from
the number one position which j
she had held for 3 consecutive;
years. It is no surprise to your
Hollywood correspondent because
she is not so little any more and
stories must now be hand picked
to fit the change of her age—She
is growing up—and fast.
James Roosevelt, son of Presi
dent Roosevelt, has entered the
producing end iof the motion pic
ture business and has announc
ed that his first production will
be ‘‘The Bat,” which will start (
in April.
I
There’s no kidding about the;
seriousness of the Norma Shear j
er-George Raft romance at the
present time.
From abroad comes word that
audiences in theaters in Paris
are warned by phonograph re
cords where to find shelters when
air raid signals are given.
First it was the sarong and
now it is called the lava lava,
the only difference being in that
the lava lava is a bit more ab-1
breviated. Yes, that's right Dor-!
othy Lamous is going to wear
it in her latest picture “The'
Typhoon^,’ i
