Glamour Girls" Position In Hollywood Is Being Threatened
They say the movies are a woman's game, but the advan- tage long held by the "glamour rals" over the mere masculine, players in the film industry is being threatened at last. Holly- wood is in the midst of a cycle of "Man's pictures," in which the female of the species is only incidental
Witness. “Geronimo," Paramount's picturisation of the army campaign against that Apache war lord who terrorised the south west in the "70s and '80s, costing the Government $41,000,- 660. Preston Foster, Andy Devine, Ralph Morgan, Willam Henry and Chief Thunder Cloud hend the east. Biggest of the feminine roles is played by Ellan Drew, who has one scene at the beginn ing, one in the middle, and a flash at the end. -
Joan Fontaine, feminine lead in "Gunga Din.” had even less to do, while' Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., es her boy friend, "Victor MeLaglen and Cary Grant monopolised the picture.
Busan Hayward, a piquant, new- comer to pletures, plays the girl Gary Cooper left behind him in William Wellman's "Beau Geste." She's Introduced at the beginning. and then dropped until the very end, when Cooper returns to her arms. Main part of the picture is played 3,000 miles away where she's supposed to be.

"The Last Frontler” Cooper's next will be "The Last Frontier," which Henry Hathaway will direct for Samuel Goldwyn. The girl hasn't been cast yet, but whoever she turns out to be, Cooper will leave her behind him when he goes off to the wars in the Philippines, main focale of the picture, and not see her again till the final fadeout

INJURED PRIDE
NANCY KELLY'S SCHOOLDAYS Speaking of things injured, one a reminded of Nancy Kelly's pride. It suffered when, on arriving in Holly. wood, she learned that despite her grown-up roles she would have to conform to all the rules and regulations of the Calf- fornia State Board of Educa- tion- tutor on the sel, regu lar hours for lessons.
Nancy, by the way is the piquant little heroine of 20th Century Fox's "Submarine Patrol."
Recently, she took a final ex- "Stanley and Livingstone," aimination on her high school scheduled for Don Ameche, at stadies, passed with flying colours Twentieth Century-Fox, "won't and matter much to the girl, either. her adolescent humiliations were congratulated herself that When Ameche goes Livingstone-ever.

.. Great Ovation
It was not until someone at the back of the gallery shouted: "Isn't that the King and Queen?", that the audience knew that their Majestics were in the theatre.
When it came to the famous song the audience took their
eve for the "Ola" from the King and Queen, and when It was over audience and cast joined in giving their Majesties a great ovation.
At each ""O1!" the Queen Alcked her thumb back in the approve Lambeth fashion.

ment of steamships: The femi-
nine lead in this will be of minor
importance also.
In "Dawn Patrol" the feminine element was completely lacking- as was the case in "Boys Town." Both these dims were 'outstanding entertainment." -
So this is one cycle which the ladies seem to be sitting out!
