(JPj Dead Enders Reform in Esquire Film 'On Dress Parade' Tale Of Military School; Sleuth Tale Billed By WOOD SOANES Some historians will unjdoubtedly NO TRAGIC MUSE New Year Will Bring No Drastic Curtailment In Hollywood's Film Output Py WOOD SOANES What does the new yeat hold for. Hollywood First, 1940 will bring no drastic curtailment in production ana resultant shortage of pictures.

Secondly, program realignment, if and when it comes, will sound the doom of product insofar as the leading studios are concerned. This, at any rate, is the considered opinion of Jack Alicoate, rr jfji y- mm, mlmimmmMm W8m MilllBfcSil if 2" I V4 i vi 'm Ill MM Ian Bryan, who has scored lately. Is now the wife of a drag chain head following a ur-prise wedding last night in Chicago. Her husband is a former Northwestern football player. The little guy Jwith the bow anB? arrow, who misses so often In Hol lywood that some Insist he should be renamed "Dan Stupid." will have his option taken up for 1940.

He had a better than average rec-' ord for the current year, but his prospects in the immediate future are far from bright Direct hits of late have been scarce, with most of Hollywood's elieibles adroitly sidestepping. This makes it difficult for the matchmaking publicity boys, who are fully happy only when they're promoting a romance. Most of Dans better shots the kind which may bring wedding bells in the coming twelvemonth nave been directed against the youngsters. One is Lana Turner, who says her one and only Is Greg Bautzer. And Brenda Joyce, who has kept company with Owen Ward since both were in junior high school and insists there is no other.

Both Ward and Bautzer. incidentally, are young businessmen without studio attachments, except socially. Friends say that Nancy Kelly, who's 19 and old enough to start thinking about orange blossoms. and Edmund O'Brien of the New York stage are "that way." Unless something happens. Charles S.

(Seabiscuit) Howard may have another screen daughter- in-law. Lin Howard, who races horses in partnership with Bing Crosby, and Judith Barrett the "Venus from Venus, are fre quent companions. Lin's brother. Bob, married Actress Andrea Leeds in October. Actress Edna Best plans a Reno trip soon to divorce Herbert Mar shall.

And when she returns, Nat Wolfe, agent and man-about-Holly-wood, ssys he'll be waiting. Tea-table talk links Marshall'! name with that of Lee Russell, society girl-actress. Ronald Regan and Jane Wyman already are engaged and friends anticipate wedding bells shortly. Ditto William De Wolf Hopper and Jane Gilbert Margaret Lindsay's sister from Dubuque, la. Binnie Barnes says she will step down the aisle with Radio Announcer Mike Frankovich next September, when his divorce becomes final.

English Actor Dies LONDON, Jan. 1 iP Sir Frank Benson, 81. noted Shakespearean actor, died last night. -tateT. CT vw- alls ante- in aTaaanaajaaraai i in aiiam I i a 0 I like to remember 1939 as the year In which Great War II got under way, others who look on life a lit tle more seriously will write it down as the eventful year in which Warner Brothers completed the reformation of the Dead End Kids.

After all, wars come and go pretty much at the whim of the statesmen but reformations are rather epochal This particular one, for example, took the Warner Brothers four years, two months and five dayr, representing the period between October 25, 1935 and December 30, 1939. On October 25. 1935. Sidney Klngsley's "Dead End" was un veiled In New York to an audience that applauded the scenery of Nor man Bel-Geddes and the perform ance of a sextet of histrionic ruffians representing underprivileged representatives of Hell's Kitchen. NOW THEY'RE REFORMED On December 30, 1939, this same sextet nicely washed behind the esrs, bubbling over with patriotism and good manners, were pleased to salute the flag and silently pledge their services to these United States in whatever emergency might arise, snd Warners seenr to feel it is Imminent.

What I am getting at In a roundabout wsy is that "On Dress Ps-rsde" the new topliner at the Esquire finds Billy Halop, Bobby Jordan, Hunts Hall. Gabriel Dell Bernard Punsley occupied with the regeneration of Leo Gorcey. He is a diligent hold-out but he finally gives in with a gesture. "On Dress Parade" Is a formula melodrama, borrowed liberally from various stories of Annapolis, West Point snd V.M.I., but It is much more palatable than most of the hooligan melodrama in which the Dead Enders have been appearing since the original Klngsley piece. TO THE RESCUE It concerns the efforts of a military school principal to rescue the son of an old comrade.

The boy has not enjoyed the comforts of s' well ordered home and believes that he would be far happier as a hoodlum than a chocolate soldier. It takes five or six reels to straighten him out For a second offering the Esquire has "Private Detective" in which Jane Wyman Is a female sleuth with a Torchy complex. Miss Wyman is teamed with Dick Enran and Maxie Rosenbloom, and life consists of murders, kidnaping, sudden death, stolen papers and, of course, love. At any rate 1S40 la under way and the Dead End Kids have sprouted wings. Extension Announces Classes for Writers BERKELEY, Jan.

"Etterjr effort," AlicoaU observes, "necessarily will be made to maintain qiMty, and' while the aggre gate of production expenditure in 1940-41 may fall below this year's estimated $165,000,000, tha econo mic! largely will reflect elimination of xtravigances." 1831 kZCOKV Looking back over 1S39, Alicoate finds, briefly, that "For a third successive year, fewer features were available for American screens, with the first 11 months showing 633 features, a drop of 10 from 1838; and a drop In short subjects from 781 in 193S to 660 in 1939. "Production eosts in 1939 ara again estimated at thert were larger budgets for outstanding pictures, ana rally speaking. Most cosuy production, of course, wis Selznlck's 'Gone With the which bad a budget of $3,800,000.

"Attendance was static the 1038 estimate, of 86,000,000 weekly, holding over. Continuing to stand, too, is the averagf admission price of 23 cents. There was renewed In tercst in vaudeville acta in many houses replacing tha second features and approximately $1,500,000 mare was invested in new theater construction with expenditure for rebuilding and alterations showing a angnt drop." Alicoate believes that English eatresses ara in great demand, clUng the cases of Vivien Leigh, Anna Neagle, Maureen O'Hara, Flora Rob-sun and Merle Oberon. He looks for continued prominence of cartoon features. On the whole, however, 140 will go on as 1939 did despite uie war ana us anti-trust suits, MUSICIANS' UNION As the year was fading in the ui eater uie musicians' union, as represented by James Petrlllo, head of the Chicago unit, was projected into the center ox tha scene- as, of all tiiingj, a censor.
