THE CHINA MAIL,

Behind the Scenero Hollywood

Hollywood-Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. If it does- great. If it doesn't what're the odds?

Our story concerns an English comedian recently arrived in Holly- wood. A certain studio desiring his services telephoned. He went over to talk business for a specific, film and was greeted thus:

"I hear you want $2,500 picture." said the producer.

"Really"

"That's too much."

"That's not enough."

"Why," bickered the producer, "I can get Ignatz Jones, whose name is five times bigger than yours, to play the part for $2,000,"

"Then get him," beamed the comic. "You're wasting my time." He got up to go.

"Wait a minute," soothed the pro- ducer. "What's your price for the pieture?"

The comic meditated, Then: "Look! If you pay me a nickel for the part and I'm not worth a nickel, that's too much money, Right?" The produeer nodded. "I'll tell you what I'll do with you-I'll gamble. I'll work ten weeks free. If you can find any three people in Hollywood who, at the end of that time, could play the part as well, I've worked for nothing. If you can't, you give me ten weeks' salary at $5,000 a week. Agreed?"

Not by a long shot it wasn't! The comedian walked out a free man and to the best of his knowledge the rumour is absolutely true that

King has had the courage to produce a motion picture with the World War as its background after many other war films had been made and exhibited. But he was encour [aged to direct "She Goes to War!". because of the fact that the women's side of the gigantic conflict had never been told.

Aside from the many dramatic | highlights visualised in this produc- tion which is the main are most authentic, he pictures with a most vigorous sweep, the extreme hard- ahips and sacrifices which became daily the routine of the women who went overseas and of whom little has been said.

King was confronted with hun- dreds of obstacles prior to the starting of the production. Every scene, every "prop," everything in | fact connected with the filming of this Rupert Hughes story must, of necessity, be genuine.
