Crooner Frankie Will Tell About Hollywood Reds
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
Washington — (UP) — Congress would hate to disrupt the Washington Public School system, start a riot in its own marble halls, or get the clothes ripped off the underfed frame of Frank Sinatra.
No word has been said about him being among the movie luminaries summoned to tell whether Communists are hidden under Hollywood's bed, Chairman J. Parnell Thomas of the house unamerican investigating committee, has heard about those bobby soxers. He's taking no chances. He won't admit that Frankie boy is coming and, in particular, when.
That's just as well. I know about this from my Hollywood reporting days. When Frankie first hove into town and sang a concert at the Hollywood bowl, he still hadn't become a politician. He'd never been inside the White House, even, or made a speech.
Hungry Crooner To Me
He was a crooner, only, who looked hungry under the spotlights and who sounded sour to me. I guess I was wrong, because the flatter the note, the louder the young ladies moaned. My mistake was writing a piece in which I said I could sing better, myself. I invited disbelievers to gather under my bathroom window any morning and listen, while I shaved.
They did gather there, but they didn't listen respectfully. One blood thirsty debutante shouted that she'd like to get her hands on my razor. Then she had a better idea.
One Lady Invited
"I ought to cut your throat from ear to ear with a dull knife," she shouted.
Only lady chairman Thomas of Allendale, N.J. has invited is Mrs Lela Rogers, Ginger's blonde mother. Mrs. Rogers doesn't like Communists and she'll be delighted to point 'em out for congress.
Only actors the chairman has announced as witnesses are Gary Cooper, a cowboy; George Murphy, a song-and-dance man; Adolphe Menjou, whose pants are always pressed, and the Messrs. Robert Montgomery and Robert Taylor, both ex-officers of the U.S. Navy. These gentlemen are patriots. They're also long-time husbands, without a croon among 'em, and are of academic interest solely to the junior misses.
Rep. Thomas and friends have expressed extreme curiosity about three big-time movies, "Mission to Moscow." "The North Star," and "Song of Russia," all of which extolled the Soviets when produced during the war. It is only fair to say that this seemed to be the thing to do at the time.
Big Capitalist Producers
These ephes were produced, oddly enough, by Jack L. Warner, Samuel Goldwyn, and Louis B. Mayer, three of Hollywood's leading capitalists.
Warner's movie was based on a book written by the former ambassador to Russia, Joe Davies, who took his own cream in his own refrigerators aboard his own yacht on his mission to Moscow. Jack and Joe have been ordered to tell about their movie.
The mighty Goldwyn erected a complete Russian city by the Santa Monica boulevard gas works, populated it with such people as Walter Huston and Ann Baxter, and hired the celebrated Lewis Milestone to direct his picture. Movie fans stayed away in droves from the result. Goldwyn and Milestone will tell why they did it.
Mayer, a roly-poly citizen who long was the highest salaried man in America, used Susan Peters and Taylor in his Russian picture. Everybody agreed at the time that it was a pretty good movie. Everybody, that is, but Taylor. He thought, to use a favorite Hollywood word, that it stank. He still does. I'll try to be there when he tells the congressmen why.
Music Societies To Present All-Student Operetta
An all-student operetta will be presented next spring in the little theater of Green hall.
The operetta is the Gilbert and Sullivan "Mikado." It is being sneonored by Phi Mu Alpha and Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary musical organizations.
Student try outs will be held soon.
