THE DETROIT FREE PRESS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1939 Five Trace Theatrical Rise 'Snow White Main Street Club Show Features Rope Dancer A new floor show opened Tues "TONIGHT W-E DA.NGE" to a Rainstorm in December (M c-f how Joan Crawford fans guth and what's funny about tha fair with remarkable success. 5i imn CHATTffXTOKJ tggtt-- Poiwitt jimmy NEW YORK, Oct 3 (A. Five young theatrical elnderel- las who six months ago were playing in a Greenwich Village cellar were the stars "tonight at Gotham's swankiest skyscraper night elub, the Rainbow Room. They owe their rise primarily to a rainstorm. Judith Tuvlm, eighteen-year-old unemployed high-school graduate, was caught in the downpour last December and ducked Into a little village basement restaurant.

Tho Suggests SklU She talked to the proprietor. who eaid the competition these days made it necessary to install soma entertainment. Judith sug gested ahe and a friend might put i a iew SKits. The friend waa Adolph Green. 23, who just about that tlma was getting fed up with being a Wall St errand boy.

The two, against the clamor of the tiny underground eating house, managed to act out some satirical sketches that wrung applause from customers. After a few nights, they made the act a trio, adding Alvln Hammer, 24, who between spells as a shipping clerk wss doing amateur-night imitations. Two More Join Team A few days later Hammer was on the same theatrical manager's waiting-room bench with Betty Comden, twenty two year old New York University dramatic graduate. Neither was able to see tha manager, so she was added to the team. And she brought in a college classmate, John Frank, 23, who was playing a guitar in an obscure folk-song concert eroun.

ine nve cooKeu up some musical- dramatic acta satirizing such American institutions as the Joan Crawford Fan Club, the Hardy family movies and the New York World's Fair. The quintet was such a drawing card that soon the little restaurant was able to install a bar and enough waiters to take cara of all the customers. Auditioned at Night Club A couple of weeks ago the fiva somewhat shakily Journeyed up the 64 floors to the Rainbow Room and auditioned their Impressions SRETCHED AT THE CASS THEATER BY RUSSELL H. LEGGE Todays Program at Your Favorite Thcatcf Ed Sullivan Movie Scrapbook LYNNE CABVEE The friendship of Polly Ann Young, whom she had met after the family moved to Hollywood, resulted In the Introduction of Kentucky born Lynne Carver to the screen. She won a role in "Penthouse" under the name of Virginia Reid, the patronymic Sampson being dropped for picture purposes.

Later she was to become Lynne Carver. The first job did not lead to others for quite a while, so Lynne went to New York to study voice. Upon her return, she was called to the attention of a studio official, and signed for a nonsinging role in "May-time," as the sweetheart of Tom Brown. She has never had a chance to sing on the screen. Five feet six inches tall, with graceful, willowy figure, light auburn hair and grey eyes, Miss Carver admits that her chief hobby is listening to older and more experienced players, as a means to helping her fight toward the top in pictures.

New Film Star Wins O.K. bat Still Wonders HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 3 Strange and baffling things happen behind the scenes in a motion picture studio. Daily the company gathers after lunch in a projection room to witness the rushes the" uncut results of the previous day's filming. Patricia Morison learned a great deal about the technique of filming scenes today when she was detained at luncheon and missed the rushes of "Untamed," her first starring picture.

Returning to the set aha asked George1 Archainbaud, the director, how the rushes looked. "Oh, swell," he replied, "The action was fine." Then she turned to Leo Tover, chief cameraman, with tha same question. "I thought they were excellent. I had just the proper lighting," ne answered. She was still mystified about her acting in the scenes when she voiced the question to Gene Mer-rltt, the Chief sound man.

"The sound was okay, except for one little spot with a little off stage noise which won no ticed," he told her. Still In a daze she requested information from Ken Lobben, the still photographer. He replied: "Why, Pat. It's some of the best photographic background I have seen." In desperation she asked La-Vaughn Larson, her wardrobe director, how the rushes looked. "Why, Pat, that parka you wear Just right." Still baffled she sought Ray Milland, who plays the lead opposite her and asked him how they were: "I wasn't there, Pat, but I hear that we're very good."

Trials Encircle Movie Moguls Troubles 'Attack on Every Side By Frederick' C. Othman HOLLYWOOD, Oct, 3 (U. With wars to the left, labor troubles to the right, the Government's anti-trust action above and embattled exhibitors below, the movie producing business was on the spot today.

Tet It continued to turn out big- time on schedule and some of them were real sockdol-lagers. Previewed last week were Elizabeth and Essex" and "Inter mezzo," two smash hits. Coming up this week are "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "Hollywood Cavalcade," both In the million-dollar class. To be released hereafter In rapid succession are "Eternally Yours," "Victor Herbert" "Balalaika," "Gone with the Wind" and many another film of similar caliber.

Exhibitors Worried, Too All the studios in town, none theless, are trying to economize by discharging hundreds of hired hands, while the exhibitors are beginning to worry about what kind of kitchen stoves and living room suites they'd better give with every ticket this season. The Fox West Coast Theaters, comprising one of the biggest groups of movie houses, are planning to give away a fleet of eight cyllndered automobiles to the lucky ticket holders. Such give-aways are liable to reach a new high in absurdity the country over this winter. Numerous Independent theater operators in the East, meantime, are planning a revival of vaude ville to bolster their seat sales, while exhibitors everywhere are trying to Inject cancellation clauses in their contracts they may reject up to 20 per cent of any studio's output. Salaries Are Raised If that isn't trouble enough for the movie makers, the technicians last week obtained a flat 10 per cent raise in salaries, retroactive to last August, while the press agents got a flat minimum salary of $100 a week for experienced men.

Union painters are demanding another 15 per cent tilt in their wages, while the Screen Actors Guild has decided to sneer at any suggestions for pay cuts for its membership. These numerous headaches for the producers bring us to Attor ney General Frank Murphy's proj ects in connection with the movie business. The Department of Justice is working now on anti-trust proceedings against the major producers, while the income-tax division is peering into their bookkeeping. Last, but far from least, is the European war, which has ruined the movie business in the countries involved. Comedies Added by Warner Studio HOLLYWOOD, Oct.

3 Jack L. Warner, In charge of production, and Hal B. Wallis, executive producer, have taken cognizance of the current tense international situation by revising the Warner Bros, studio schedule to permit immediate production of a number of comedies. Eight comedies have been placed on the Warner program. The producers are confident that the public demand for the comedy type or screen fare will be greater than ever in the near future.

The laugh films scheduled are: "Three Cheers for the Irish," in which James Cagney, Pat O'Brin, Jane Bryan, Frank McHueh and other members of the studio's Celtic contingent will participate; "Brother Rat and the Baby," with the members of last year's "Brother Rat" cast united again; "Front, Please," an original comedy by Lloyd Bacon, Warner director; 'The Poor Nut," with Eddie Albert; "Footsteps in the Dark," comedy mystery starring Edward G. Robertson; "Smiling Corpse," comedy mystery with Frank McHugh, and "Two Weeks' Vacation," with Wayne Morris. When Mary (My Heart Belongs to Daddy) Martin finishes her first screen starring role opposite Allen Jones and Walter Connolly In Faramount's "The Gay Days of Victor Herbert," she will return to Broadway to play the lead in a musical.

Pooler In a little over a year "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has earned at the boxofficea of the world $8,000,000. It puts this phenomenon of the movie business far in advance of all the best sellers of the movies. From time to time fans have Vanted to know which movies did the greatest business, In other words, which pictures they approved most vociferously at the boxoffice.

And it is nice to start with the startling fact that the all-time tops is "Snow which, since its release in Feb ruary, 1938, has rolled up more than its closest com' petltor. You have to go back to a pic- i lure Issued in October, 1928, 10 years earlier, to arrive at "The Singing Fool," which holds second place at The Top 18 1 To give you a full list of the pictures applauded most heartily with cash, statistical research gives you the next 18 movies, the date of their release and their earnings in this order: "Four Horsemen of the Apoca- lypse," February, 1821, $4,500,000, "Ben Hur," January, 1926, (14,000,000. "The Big Parade," November, 1925, $3,500,000. "Birth of a 1915, 3,500,000. "Cavalcade," February 1933, $3,500,000.

"The Covered Wagon," March, .823. $3,500,000. "The Jazz Singer," November 1927, $3,500,000. "Sunny Side Up," October, 1929, $3,300,000. "Broadway Melody," March, 1929, $3,000,000.

"Roman Scandals," December, 1933, $2,443,000, 'All Quiet' Out Again Rated a short while ago down the list with movies around fiftieth, in the group which had earned more than $1,500,000 Js "AH Quiet on the Western Front." It'B re-issue and predictions that it may clean up millions more would put it up close to the leaders.

You can draw your own con-elusions from this list of favorite movies as reflected sharpest by their boxoffice returns. Many were pictures put out a decade ago and one of the peculiarities is finding six comedies, three of Eddie Cantor's, a Harold Lloyd and two of Charlie Chaplin's, leveling oil together around the $2,500,000 mark. Popular Novels Filmed Since we are In a statistical mood, it might be well to add that most of the best sellers in the fiction field and the legitimate drnma reach the screen. Fifty-four best selling novels hut of a list of 73 which sold 600,000 copies and over have been msde into motion pictures. Out of a list of 43 legitimate theater productions which ran for more than 500 performances, 32 were converted into movies.
