Comments on Movie !'horts and Featurea

By Gray Barker

"The Pt•ide ol the Yankees," starring Gary Coopel' a nd Ttresn Wright, is slated for the coming Sunday at the Piclureland. Although a bit dull in spots a nd too long, thP st~ry aft'ords b•n ct en• r<·tin 1 nt. Basebull fans especially will enjoy it-the life story of the late Lou Gcrhig, wilh equal emphasis on his faml' Rs a hall playet and his home life. The latter pro­vides the be•t pllrt of the picture and brings a r w tetll's nfter Gerhig, played by Cooper, !Garn. bi· e ays ure numbered because of a rare disease. Tn real life Gerhig was left-handt>d, making a serious p1•oblem in the production be­ca use Cooper could bat only right-handed. But that did not stop the Hollywood wizards. They simply shot the scenes. turned the negative around, making Cooper a perfect "southpaw" when he is \riewed by the audience. Printing on signs in the view of the camera was reversed so it woulcl appear correct in the final print.

Dn vid T ewell has a namesake in the movie world-well , a lmost at least. While going through some movie items, I discovered a news item about a star of a few years back, David Newell. He i· now out of actual pictures. is now Ann Corio's makeup man for her new "B," "Call of the Jungle."

W a lter Pidgeon will croon in his new picture with Garso~. "Mrs. Parkington." ... "Little Lu· lu" of Saturday Evening Post {arne will appear in Paramount cartoons . . . "L'il Abner" car­toons are also now in t he making . . . Donald Duck's latest picture is "Doald and t.he Goril· Ia."

"Henry Aldrich Haunts a House," and "Aer· ial Gunner" will occupy the respective Tue· W d and Thurs-F'ri ·pots this week at the :Pic· tureland. Go at your own risk.
