Looking at Hollywood with Ed SullivanScenes ThatLive inMemory

By ED SUWVANHollywood.

NOT SO MANYweeks ago,as you. will recall, weconducted a pol11ngeon-

test to learn what pictures moviefans would prefer to see again.They named twelve pictures. Inorder they were: (1) II SnowWhite and the Seven Dwarfs,"(2) ••Four Horsemen of theApocalypse," (3) II Mutiny onthe Bounty," (4) ••A Star IsBorn," (5) II The Hunchback ofNotre Dame," (6) ••Birth of aNation," (7) II Smilin' Through,"(8) II The Big Parade," (9) ••Lifeof Emile Zola," (10) ••CaptainsCourageous," (11) II San Fran.cisco," (12) II The Kid."This expression was Interest-

ing, but more interesting to mewas the fact that almost everyletter contained a fan's recollec-tions of particular scenes hewould like to see again. Thescenes they mentioned were per-

sonal mementoes, dating a pe-riod in their lives as a popularsong dates an event for you. Intheir asides the fans commentedthat they remembered this sceneor that scene because. they sawit the week Brother Joe and hiswife had a baby, or the familyhad bought a new car, or Tom'ssalary had been raised at thestore. I thought to myself,thought I, some day we'll gothrough that mass of mail andpick out the scenes which thefans ·mentioned. Out of 20,000letters I'd like to tell you someof the rcrget-me-nots that moviefans sent in to explain why theyidolize the stars.Emil J~mnings' return to his

softeners will be among themost popular of all Christmasgifts.A great part of the balance of

the American woman's 261 mil-lion dollar beauty budget Isdevoted to such things as deplla-tories, deodorants, rouges, andgadgets of one kind or anotherand is spent during the seasonof jingle bells. Hairbrushes,hand mirrors, makeup boxes,and thousands of other luxuriesand necessities will be presentedto American beauties all overthe land.Gifts of beauty, by which we

mean any gift that comes fromthe cosmetic counters, are nowamong the m 0 s t importantitems in the sum total of allChristmas business in this coun-try. Women in America value

their good looks; they're vainabout their good looks. Andthere is {\ sound psychologicalbasis for the popularity of abeauty gift; its very selectionis a subtle tribute to the femi·ninity and beauty of the womanwho receives it.

e e e

Millions will be spent thisChristmas on such tributes. Be-cause the beauty business ishere as nowhere else in theworld a volume business, theindividual beauty gift can costmuch or little. In Americafashion and beauty are com-pletely democratic. The shop-girl earning $15 a week may useexactly the same imported per-fume treasured by the richestgirl in the land.

perfume just as much as it isthe girl's with millions in herown right. Miss Vere de Vereuses tuberose bath' salts, Im-ported from France. Miss Shop-girl uses bath salts, too. Theycost a lot less, and the scent isnot so lasting, but it's the bestimitation of a flne version oftuberose that science and vol-ume business can achieve.One or two million dollars will

be spent this Christmas on corn-pacts alone. A square of gold,

studded with rubies and dla-monds or rubies and sapphires,will sell very well indeed at aChicago jewelry shop for $500.But hundreds of thousandsmore costing less than $5 willbe sold in drug, beauty, and de-partment stores all over thecountry.Cases fitted with creams and

lotions will sell, too. There willbe purchasers for a lether case,fitted with cloisonne-topped jarsand bottles, priced at $375.There will be far more purchas-ers for fabricoid kits containingcreams, lotions, and makeup ac-cessories, priced at $5.Less than thirty years ago a

woman's beauty equipment wassoap and a pure white powderwith which she surreptitiouslyvanquished the shine on hernose. Today there is no surrep-. titiousness about her pursuit ofbeauty. She wants to be lovely;she IS lovely. Big business-and Santa Claus-are only toohappy to cater to her whims.

I had killed Molokof! I was ableto see clearly.••I knew when Maida Travers

was carried of! by the Red Circlethat I had only one thing leftto do. Maida Travers gave melife. It belonged to her. Molo·.kof! had found this out, too. Imust go to Russia and join theterrorists. I did this in such away as to leave a distinct trail.I wanted every one to know thatI had turned traitor because Icould no longer endure the ha-tred and suspicion of my ownpeople. While I was in RussiaI had time to build a new eabl-net. I contrived to have MaidaTravers and myself taken onthe first cruise of the Red dirigi·ble airship. Michael Raclovgave me the plans of Eric Lam-bert's superbattleships--"Lambert started. ••Raclov

gave him the plans--"Tyler stopped him. The voice

went on: "I put these plans inthe parachute Maida Travers

was to wear. I saw to that. Ipushed her out of the dirigiblein midair. You will never knowthe pain this cost me. But wewere out of Russia. I knewthat if she landed safely shewould be in friendly hands.This much of my work was done."I am to sail

with the fieet. Itis the cunningplan of the Redsto lure the majorfleets of the pow-ers in that nar-row space onthe Mediterra·nean sea. It isdetermined that Ivan Molokoffwe shall drawall those ships together and thenI shall blast them one by oneand sprinkle that sea with thebroken fragments of the lastdefenses of civilization."There was a long pause.

am making these records inMoscow. Perhaps I may notsucceed. This I propose to do:

The movie fan idolizes thstar of the fiickers because 0some particular scene which hhas played. It is not a negligible interest, this fandom of thmoviegoers, but a very real ana very intelligent appreciatioof the performers over a stretcof years.

I shall finish these records.shall wrap them as well ascan. I shall wait until I aordered to destroy my country'ships. Then I shall throw mpackage overboard. Whenhave done this I shall direct minvisible lightning against thRed ships. I shall destroy eveone of them, because I shall bin a steel turret which I shallock on the inside. You wilhave heard that I asked the ReCircle to deliver me some radiutubes by Sonya Danilo and Comrade Petrovich. I shall not nthese tubes, I have asked foSonya and Petrovich so thathey may be aboard one of thships of the soviet fleet whensend my lightning there. Sonyis called the Firefiy. It was shwho brewed suspicion abouMaida Travers. It was Petrovich who contrived the kidnaping of Maida Travers.••I have only a little left t

say. It is this: I have nothinto give my country except mgrotesque and hideous body ana mind that has learned to lovliberty. These I freely give, anI am ashamed only for thmeanness of my gifts. I aPeter QUill. I am the symbol 0the human race. I lived in hesitation and weakness. A beautiful voice led me out of darknessand ignorance. It was the voicof hope and freedom. I founda world of beauty and the boundless liberty that dwells in wisdom, I was confronted by feaand distrust. I destroyed them.I know the Red Circle. The RedCircle is autocracy. It is mis-ery. It is terror. It is slavery.It is ignorance. I learned thegreatest destructive principle ofall ages. But it will destroy onlyone thing. It will destroy igno-rance.
