The idea that birds talk the human language was entertained by the ancients and aborigines all over the globe. It is a thought commonly found in folklore and legend, and it is this circumstance, undoubtedly, which contributed largely to the jperpetuation of the line, "A little bird told me." The most direct inspiration for this phrasing probably was the passage in the Old Testament from Ecclesiastes 10, 20, which reads: "Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber; for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter."

MIEST HIT! For Film Fans "The Affairs Of Martha" At The Valencia; "Dead End Kids," Times By Robt. B. Cochrane THERE is a pleasant shock In store for some of our moviegoers this week when they slip into the Valencia for jf quiet two-hour rest among the air conditioning and find they've inadvertently dropped in on what turns out to be a clever and surprisingly amusing film comedy masquerading under the title "The Affairs of Martha." How this little item slipped into town without some advance notice is hard to understand. Maybe what people tell me is right and everyone in Hollywood is nuts.

Maybe so. they are so close to the subject it's hard for them to tell what is good and what isn't. Two "finds," it seems to me. are largely responsible for "The Affairs of Martha." The first is a new story-writing team. Isobel Lennart and Lee Gold, who've whipped up a fresh and novel idea full of-funny situations without hamming it up with a lot of creaky gags.

The second is Director Jules Dassin, a former stage director, who has only a movie short and a chiller, "Nazi Agent," on his record card in less than a year in Hollywood. He has a smooth touch, a faculty for invention and expression. Maid Writes Story Of Village 'T'HE fun. which sends the exclu-sive village of Rock Bay, Long Island, into a frantic tizzy, is touched off when a gossip writer spills the fact that a maid in the colony has written a kitchen's-eye story of the people she works for and that it will hit the book lists shortly. There are skeletons rattling in every closet in the village.

The maids hold a basement meeting to pledge mutual protection and Iheir mistresses hold a meeting upstairs to try to ferret out the guilty maid. A maid who turns out to be Miss Marsha Hunt has actually wielded the wicked pen. She, it seems, picked up the son of her employers during a night off as he was cele brating the eve of his departure for research among the Eskimos a couple of years earlier, and married him while he was crocked. He had expected her to get a divorce while he was gone, and when he shows up unexpectedly dragging a fiancee he finds it a bit embarrassing. Of course, she hadn't got around to the divorce yet.

Compromising Situations ar naturally some com- promising situations arising out of all this as the son tries to convince his wife she ought to get a divorce, his "fiancee" presses for immediate announcement and mar riage, and the maid's publisher puts in his 2 cents worth at every op portunity. Besides that, there's a persistent truck driver who makes dates with the maid every evening and invariably gets stood up. as our younger set says it. Finally, a party is held for the purpose of an IT ROCKS WITH RHYTHM) A- 1m live "Sunt IWKa. Ows.

Although there will be music and sound, and in some cases the actual dialogue of the participants, almost a silent-picture technique is to be used in the production, so that it shall be understandable to everyone, whatever may be his lin guistic abilities. Filming The "Bell" In High Sierras UCH of the "Bell" story, writ- ten by Ernest Hemingway, is being photographed near Sonora, Cal. It is located nearly two miles up In the high Sierras, which closely resemble the Guadarama Mountains of Spain.

It was there that most of the action takes place, during the Spanish revolution. Gary Cooper, Vera Zorina, the ballet dancer, and Katina Paxinous, Greek actress, play the leads, sup ported by the Russian, Akim Tami- roff, and Joseph Calleia, the only Maltese actor in Hollywood. Probably next to hit-production schedules will be "Rurales," cen tered around the work of Mexican police authorities in stamping out lawlessness south of the Rio Grande." Producer Cecil B. De Mille says he hopes to make "Rurales" a sequel to his "North West Mounted Police," which proved an outstand ing box-office attraction. He plans to spend considerable time in Mexico.

Other pictures with a Spanish atmosphere in production are "Casablanca," a story of a fake passport racket in Spanish Morocco; "The Black a Henry Morgan pirate tale of the Spanish main, and a feature and numerous scientific-educational film shorts by Cartoonist Walt Disney, featuring Joe Carioca from Brazil, a comedy character that is to be Donald Duck's new playmate. Numerous other films, designed largely to counteract Axis propa ganda in South America, also are in production. r.Ar enough to make up "for past mis- takes. Reverberating blasts from several of their Latin cinematic productions, which Americans would call "stinkers," still can be detected around some film lots on days when the wind is in the xight direction, but the atmosphere generally is clearing. That's because studios not only have learned the necessity for keeping their films authoritative as possible, but they also were quick to seek the guidance and comfort of the newly established Motion Picture Society for the Americas.

Headed by Walter F. Wanger, the society, with which many of the most prominent film producers in Hollywood are affiliated, aciks as a liaison between the motion-picture industry and the coordinator of Inter-American Affairs. Experts on Latin-American problems are its constant advisers. Six Spanish Films In Production TORE than half a dozen feature- length pictures with a Spanish flavor now are in production, while two or three score film shorts, some in color and covering various phases of Latin-American life, also are in the making. "It's All True," being produced by Orson Welles, and "For Whom The Bell Tolls," now before Para mount cameras, head the list.

Crossing language boundaries, Welles' epic will consist of one large sequence already filmed in Mexico, another in various sections of Brazil, with the prospect that additional sequences may be shot in Peru and other sections of South America. It will be of feature length and Born This Date August 6 Cyrus Cobb, Darius Cobb (twins), sculptor, artist. William D. Ticknor, publisher. James'Brewster, manufacturer.

All this is naturally confusing, but also, vastly amusing when the audience will stop laughing long enough to hear a few lines of dialogue. Miss Hunt is assisted, and quite capably, by Miss Mar jorie Main, Miss Spring Byington, Miss Virginia Weidler, Miss Frances Drake, Richard Carlson, Melville Cooper and most effectively of all by Allyn Joslyn. Dead End Kids On Times Screen 'T'HE erstwhile Dead End Kids, under new monicker, the East Side Kids, are back on the screen again at the Times Theater. It's the same slaphappy bunch, and this will probably be their last effort because I am told they're going into the army, or something, for the duration. They must look on this picture as a preview, for they slap some Japs silly and wind up heroes again.

Tom Brown, formerly of Harvard, Yale, Annapolis and West Point, helps out with some of the slugging, too, and Florence Rice is captured by the big, bad Japs just so the kids can rescue her. Frankly, I can't tell which of the kids is which. The cast lists them as Leo Gorcey, Iluntz Hall, Bobby Jordan, Gabriel Dell. David Gorcey, Sammy Morrison and Bobby Stone. Throw out one of the last three names.

There are only six of the kids and I've got seven names from somewhere. But their partisans can probably recognize them for themselves, and may get a moderate amount of laughs from their devil-may-care, "it pays to be ignorant" type of slapstick. i nagram ruzziers Rules Hoto is your vocabulary?
