What a break Hollywood got 'when the marines invaded the Solo mons.

They were all set for a national release of their new picture, Wake Island which the United States marines supervised, when the headlines broke. Locally, at least, marine enlistment stations are overcrowded. Bands blare the traditional song of the And Paramount comes up with a day-by-day log of ihe last days on Wake that ended with Devereaux's terse, cryptic farewell aririouncernent by radio: "Enemy has landed: issue is in doubt." rye seen the picture and I've talked to Gen. Robert Livingston Denig, U. S.

M. who expressed himself as well pleased with it. It0 was filmed under the supervi sion of high ranking marine offi cers. It's action is authentic. It is all there, bomb for bomb and stick as we know the story from the dispatches and from the official reports that were flown out of Wake on a naval plane two days before the fall.

4 can see old marines jutting lout their chests just a mite further after they gam the doings of their outfit in this last ditch scrap. 1 NE of the things the marines had to be careful of in this pix was whether or not Para- mount's actors could die like ma rines. That is, without hamming it up top thick. When a man's hit, he ffnps dnwri. anrl as a nil a seldom flails his arms, twirls in midair, crosses himself, and kisses his sweetheart's picture before he passes on.

Gen. Denig, who has seen men die in more than one war, and who would need an ex tra shirt front to provide space for all his medals, if he chose to wear them, gives Hollywood the okay on this one. He was pleased So were all the marine biggies who were instrumental in the film, as a document on a great last ditch fight that won more glory than half a dozen victories. INCIDENTALLY, like the Wake I marines who fought the first action of the war after Pearl har bor for the United States, the ima rines' were also first in "the first world war. Back in '17 a detail of 15 marines, on orders of President Wilson, seized the German war ship Cormoran, which had been interned at Guam several months previously.

Eri route to the ship they were compelled to fire across the bow of a cutter carrying Ger man naval officers, to bring about the surrender of those men. It preceded by six months the next shot fired by Americans this time in France in the first world war. Though the official day-by-day log is faithfully adhered to Jn Wake island, the names of the chief characters are fictional. For instance, the counterpart of Maj James Patrick Devereaux, who was in command at Wake, is the actor Brian Donlevy who, as Mai Caton, does a chesty, bang-up job But It Still Sounds Pretty Mixed Up Altus, Okla.

M' -J I pcf Church Deacon; Grows Flowers Life of Porter Hall De-- cided Contrast to Screen Roles By Paul Harrison K. K. A. 8rvic 8tff Correspondent OLLYWOOD. You've heard rl about a few movie villains who write music or raise dahlias or otherwise reveal incongruous gentle virtues.

But today we have Mr. Porter Hall, whose life is the greatest contrast ot ail. On the screen you've seen him as a lowdown. doublecrossine. coldblooded champion of evil.

But nere in Hollywood he's a of the First Presbyterian church ana an all-around, practicing inrisuan. He not only raises flowers, but me xiau rose and the Hall dahlia, aeveiopea oy his lather, are nor ticuiturally famous. The actor doesn't drink or smoke. He long has been happily married. He hates guns.

In his current role in Colum bia's superwestern, The Desperadoes, Hall is a two-fisted scoundrel who arranges with a gang to rob his own bank ana men tries to commit a murder to facilitate his getaway with the townspeoples- life sav ings. Off screen, however, he's the nigniy regarded treasurer of the prosperous Screen Actors' guild. About the comparable as pect of Porter Hall's professional and private lives is bis promi-! nence. Everybody knows him. On Broadway, before coming into movies, he Won the Critics circle award for his work in Nteht Hostess.

Later, in Hollywood, he got the Screen Actors' guild award for the years best character per formance, in The Plainsman. Oh, Death TN THE course of some 40.mov- ies, Hall has died many times and has donein lots of worthy citi zens. He hasn't always been a villain, but his best roles were full of dark deeds. He played everything on the stage and was a comedy detective in The Dark Tower when Producer Hunt Stromberg saw and summoned him to Hollywood to become the ruthless killer in the first Thin Man picture. Porter Hall came bv his re ligious convictions through his own thinking and counter to his boyhood environment.

Through a couple of dramatic drcum stances both his grandfather and father had become embittered against 'Z ministers and churches, and he went through college and into business in Cincinnati with no liking for, preachers or formalized worship. It was his wife, he says, who led him around to re ligious thinking. IS pfpselyting psalm shouter either As Gefaldine Brown, she had become am actress with the encourage ment of her mother, and dramatic training at the American acad emy. She and Spencer Tracy were playing the leads in a stock com iupe and pany when Porter Hall joined the married in 1927, have an 11 -year- I old son, and are about to become parents again. The bad man of the movies had one boyhood experience which he hasn't been able to forget: He yanked the triggers of a double- barreled shotgun, narrowly missed a playmate and blew a big hole through the front door.

Mature is cast as the young composer during his struggle to get his songs published and played. The story opens with Dresser as a musician withi a small medicine show and follows him through to big success in New York, where he eventually had the town at his feet v. As the Broadway show girl who furnished much of the inspiration for Dressers songs, Miss Hayworth has ample opportunity to sing and dance.

Dreiser, famed au thor of An American Tragedy and brother of the composer, wrote the story o.n which the film is based Unlike today's composers, Dres ser dia not laac ior inspiration Surrounded by a bevy of beauti ful actresses, he; found so much in spiration that In the brief span of his years he turned out some 150 tunes, each of which was consid ered tops at the Fame and success rested lightly on his shoul ders and he carried his small town background throughout his career.
