JIMMIE FIDLER IN HOLLYWOOD Hollywood, July 7--If there's anyone in these United States who resents communism and communists more than I do. I'd like to meet him--but there's one iage, at least, in the book of Joe Stalin, that we Americans could well study. Instead of merely talking about the screen as a powerful medium of education, the Soviets are utilizing it as such. They have recognized the undeniable fact that movies can shape the thoughts of juvenile audiences. Not only are they producing pictures expressly for Russian kids; they are staging special matinees throughout Russia "for juveniles only." I don't know exactly what kind of pictures they are tailoring for their youngsters, but I can well imagine, and so can you.

Undoubtedly, they are films designed to sell the glories of communism, a la Stalin, and to point out the inadequacies of the capitalistic system. Throughout the entire world, Reds are doing a crafty job of entrenching for the future. What are American kids learning from our movies, by way of comparison? Well, reflect on the pictures they see, week in and week out, and answer that one for yourselves. Maybe your reflections will be sharpened by a statement of fact- Hollywood, our movie capital, has 'spent a scant $500,000 in five swung by Merman, and Barnett slumping to the floor. They won't be using that routine any more, however.

The other day a 200-pound visitor became so irked at Merman for picking on a "little guy" that only Barnett's hurried explanations prevented a real fight. Beast" (1926), Conrad Veidt in "The Beloved (1927), Jean Hersholt in "Stella Dallas" (1925), Thomas Meighan in "Male and Female" (1919), and Harold Lloyd in "Grandma's Boy" (1922). I'd like to argue a few of those choices myself.

Having noted that Helen Walker invariably greets Dorothy McGuire by anxiously inquiring about her health, and that both ladies, thereupon, go into gales of laughter, I asked how come. "That explanation is five years old," Miss Walker informed me.

"I was Dorothy's understudy when she starred on the i stage in "Claudia." Every day asked about her health, and every' night I prayed that she'd tell me she was en route to the hospital!" During a chat v. ith Cecil B. De Mille and George Marshall, veterans of more than thirty a standing in the picture business. and Betty Hutton, who i scores of early-day movies while preparing for her in "The Perils of Pauline," I asked them to list the ten best performances prior to 1929, when the Academy started handing out its "Oscars." The debate raged for the better part of an hour before the list was compiled. Here it is--aid many an old timer will be inclined to contest the nominations.
