Dick Greene, who drives the car, a afraid I'm hurt. He jumps out and says: "Gee, why dgn't yon get up? Did I hurt you?" and tell him: "Nope. I'm just wait- ng for somebody to count ten." This is a screwy business, this picture racket. I play a leatherneck, cnlled Sergeant Patsy Duf- If the guy was named Ser- iearit Moe Levinsky, I suppose they'd get a guy named O'Toole to play it. O'Rosenbloom Oh, well.

A guy comes up to me the other day and hollers, 'Hey, I know you from some- wheres. What's your name?" say: "Oh--Rosenbloom." He says: ''O'Rosenbloom, is it? Well, I've lieard of O'Rileys and O'Briens and O'Shaughnessys, but you're the first O'Rosenbloom I've ever met." When I'm not making faces in trout of that I'm business for my night club. Some sour-pussed monkey says: "Listen, Hosenbloom. Don't to around trying to get me In go In your joint and spend my I do a burn. I tell him: "Pal, I run a respectable joint--and it ain't no ioint, see?" These actors kill me.

I go to lunch one day with George Bancroft and he frowns at that score card and says: "Gosh! I've forgotten what it was my doctor wanted me to eat." Then he looks at my ears and says: "Oh. Now I know Cauliflower." An Artist! The girl turns to me and' says "What'll you have?" I say. want-a to-pay?" I says, "Nevei i Ravishing Robert Taylor Portrays a Prize-Fighter in "The Crowd Roars" Call it coincidence you will--During the hubbub of publicity which attended the J.oe Louis-Max Schmeling heavyweight championship bout in New York recently--remember the 2:04 Taylor appeared prominently in the sports pages as a member of a California delegation seeking the Brown Bomber's next titular exhibition for the Pacific coast. Saturday at the Cecil this same Robert Taylor takes the lead in a picture called "The Crowd Roars." You guessed il--it's a yarn about the game, with Taylor -as a pugilist. So, as with a championship Robert Taylor prizefight, we have had the buildup--and now we have the picture i "The Crowd Roars" is based on a story by George Bruce, and as a so subtly hinted, deals with cauliflowers the kind thai grow in i not gardens.

i I handsome Mr. Taylor is that Irish lassie, Maureen O'Sullivan. In the cast also is corpulent Edward Arnold, Lionel Slander (remember him as the cynical press agent in "A Star Is William Gargan, Jane Wyman, Nat-Pendleton and others. "Lord Jeff" While "The Crowd Roars" at the Cecil, Freddie Bartholomew and Mickey Hooney come to Palace Saturday in "Lord Jeff," a story ol a merchant mar i training school for British hoys. Also iii the cast Charles Coburn, II Mundin, Terry Kilburn and Gale Sondergaard.

20th Century-Fox and a Riiy ups to me.and says, "Hey, Maxie, 1 hear you're quire, a thcspian." I'm getting ready to pop him one when my pal, Chancy, says: "Don't do it, Maxie. That's no insult. That's a compliment." I've been called a lot of things by a lot of guys, but this is the first time I've been called a thespian. But if it means an actor, that's a I am. Why not? There's good dough in it.

For the lettuce they hand me at the pay window every Saturday, I hey can call me a thc.s- pian or a i else. "Ups de Tempo" got to be smart to he an actor, I hough. The director, John Ford, tells me: "Maxie, step up your tempo." I start looking around to see if my socks are hanging loose, or something, until I figure out lie means timing. Ford's not a bad guy, though, even it he docs speak broken English like that. I get absent-minded sometimes, just like the rest of the actors.

In this "Wooden Anchors," I am supposed to be bowled over by an automobile, and it bowls mo over, all right.

I haven't even started yet." Boy, this movie racket has got me stopped. On my pay check, it says "Maxie rrosenbloom, artist." Artist! Figure that one. They pay me for being an artist and I can't even draw a straight line.

I'm afraid they're liable to get wise to themselves. For while I figured I'd better buy a paint brush and wear a berry on my head to keep 'em fooled. The makeup man on the picture sees I'm gettin' a little bald on top. He says to me: "You mind that dialect, I don't wanna pay. I'm gettin' paid." He says he means t-o-u-p-c-e.

Maybe lie knows what he's lalkin' about. I don't. John Ford says he wouldn't be surprised if I cop an academy award. That's a gold statue. 1 tell him I don't want it--1 gal all the I can use, anyway.
