The plan would ban in Pelaware motion pictures featuring divorced players. Should such a law be passed, there wouldn be many movies admitted to the state. Mickey Mouse wouldn be barred, of course, but it is likely that pictures featuring Babv Lerov would be, since some of the adults supporting hiir sure'y would be divorced. Chevalie. who co-starred with the baby once, is in that class.

They Wouldn't See Stan Passage of that censorship would bar such people as William Powell, the Fairbankses, Joan Crawford, Edna May Oliver. Ruth Chatterton, Lewis Stone. Richard Arlen, Pick-ford and Chaplin and a host of others too numerous to mention. Just for example, these 30 recently-released popular pictures wouldn't be exhibited in Pelaware if the law were now in effect: "Pesign for Living." because Miriam Hopkins is in it; "Bolero." because Carole Lombard plays in it; "Carolina," both of its stars, Janet Gaynor and Lionel Barrymore, have been divorced; "Counsellor-at-Law" has the twice-divorced John Barry-more; "It Happened One Clark Gable: "Dancing Lady," Joan Crawford: "Wonder Bar." Al Jolson and Kay Francis; "Moulin Rouge." Constance Bennett; "Little Women," Joan Bennett. Kxperlpn' Necessary We don have many parades out here.

So directors, when occasionally requiring a group of extras as parade watchers, have to rehearse them in the business of watching an imaginary parade. There usually isn't a parade for the extras to watch, since they are "doubled in" through process shots. A call sheet for a picture the other day had this note appended: "Former New Yorkers, if possible." New Yorkers, it was explained, know the art of watching parades. Must Good Friends' Press agents for Myrna 1-oy and Ramon Novarro thought it might be a good Idea to "hop up" a story of a possible romance, after Myrna met Ramon upon his arrival from the East. But neither of the most concerned i persons would admit a romance, In fact, they denied it with the I usual "just good friends" statements.

Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Pii-tributors of America, declared In hig report presented at the annual meeting of the organization here todav. "It is a sitrnificant phase of the creon's upward progress," he ex plained, "that rival producers i ahould contend, as they have done! this vear. for priority claims to the production of one of the classic we-rks of Charles Pickens.

"Socially minded civic leaders In Increasing numbers," Mr. Hays asserted, "are accepting responsibility for aiding the industry by constructive criticism of motion pictures. ltt evident that to a large extent th quality of motion picture production is dependent upon public tate and appreciation. The fact that the level of public taste for pictures of the better kind has been rising continually is a tribute to th character of social and educational leadership now co-operating wjrh the industry In the better films movement.

ricttirea for Children J'lt Is signifennt that last year 7t pictures were endorsed by previewing groups as suitable for children between the ages of 8 and 12 years, as against the indorsement of such pictures for the year 1932." The motion picture industry In it's husiness of entertainment welcomes constructive criticism, Mr. Hnvs declared. "The industry." he continued, "rannot underrate with impunity the importance of the general level or public intelligence which determines popular acceptance or rejection of any type of motion picture. has been underrated by producers who have been misled by the fact that even the degrading and the vicious may command paying audiences, but who have overlooked the potential support for pictures of the better kind.

"There can be no real excuse fnr the vulgarities that have some times, marked otherwise spiennia By Len G. Shaw Playing hunches has turned out well for Winfield Sheehan. He Is about to follow another with his forthcoming production for Fox Films of "Marie Galante." Eight years ago Sheehan decided to film "What Price Glory?" the Maxwell Anderson and Laurence Stallings war play (and by the way, isn't it striking the manner in which Anderson has been forgotten in the recent placing of credit for this rip roar-ing William Bo-d and the lat I.ouir Wolheim had done such corking Jobs on the stage that it was a foregone conclusion they rr.i"t play Ouirt and Flagg on the screen. Thev must have felt Ketti Kfcurti in their position for the price they demanded was prohibitive.

So Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen. comparative unknowns, were selected for the parts and Hollywood threw up its hands in amazement. The result is a matter of movie history. Sheehan later decided to make "Seventh Heaven," which was about as far removed from "What Price as could be imagined. He picked two more unknowns a slip of a girl who had done some work as an extra and was named Janet Gaynor.

and Charles Farrell. a Yank from Cape Cod, who had been tried out in a few bits tn Hollywood. The Gaynor-Farrell team swept two hemispheres with "Seventh The popularity of the pair was assured for all time. When picture prospects, along with everything else, were at their worst, something more than a year ago. bheehan decided to play another hunch and jolt the public back to life with a colossal production of Cavalcade." As part of his program he engaged a practically all cast, and English director, and gave it absolute fidelity as tn British settings and background, as had been the case with the stage presentation In England of Noel Coward's play.

"Cavalcade" earned mote than Its tremendous production cost in England alone, besides being considered by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences the finest American production for 19.13. It Is still playing at home and abroad. For the leading role in "Marie Gnlante," the story by Jacques Pe-val of the life in Panama of a flotsam French girl, Sheehan has selected Ketti Gallian, unknown to American audiences. She has played In a couple of short French films, made near Paris. She appeared in several stage plays in the French capital.

Outside of that she has no experience. But when Sheehan saw her acting in her first English play, "The Act," In London, he engaged her for the screen. And now Hollywod is waiting to see if the latest Sheehan hunch will turn out as well as the others.

Sobs, screams, a shewer of cjiat-hangers and flying cold cream jars greeted Deputy Sheriff Robert Montjoy today when he sought to serve a writ of attachment on Fifi D'Orsay, French-Canadian film actress in her dressing room at a theater here where she is appearing this week.

"Every place I go for free years there are sheriffs waiting for me. I am seek to death of the whole business," the petite Fifi stormed. "I pay them $16,000 for booking me and all I get is a screen test she said, stamping her feet and sobbing. Finally, Fifi's husband, Morris Hill, former University of Wisconsin athlete, prevailed upon the deputy to leave the room, but the storm giew worse Instead of better. More cold cream jars and coat hangers sailed through the air and out into the hall.

The outburst, ended when Fifi was reminded it was time -i her act on the stage to go ni. The deputy remained at the theater, waiting for the end of the act. He was determined, he said, to take Fifi'y $3,500 mink coat and other clothing unless a Judgment of $420 for legal services performed for the actress when she appeared here in 1931 was paid.
