The studio had bought rights to the title, “Duffy’s Tavern”, so Benoff quickly assembled a good story line from some of his radio scripts and found an interested producer. The producer and Benoff ultimately were summoned, with story editor William Dozier, to the office of Buddy De Sylva, then the studio’s production head. As they strode across the carpet of De Sylva’s long office to discuss their idea, De Sylva looked up and said, “NO!” Dozier and the producer did an about-face and hurried toward the door. Benoff stood alone. STANLEY KRAMER (center) walks with the six boy stars in his movie, “Bless the “When the others realized I wasn’t Beasts and Children” for which Mac Benoff wrote the script.

f It was, she remembers wistfully, “like a fairy tale come true,” barely into her teens in 1932 when she started at MGM - Jean Parker was a very young Cinderella, far more excited about the ball she was having than about any Prince Charming . . . though surely he, too, would appear on the scene before the clock struck midnight on her career! She didn’t even think about time, ticking away in the next two decades as she faced the cameras with “just about every star I had idolized” . . . particularly such great ones as the Barrymores, Gary Cooper, Marion Davies, Katherine Hepburn, Charles Boyer and Robert Donat - all whom she remembers fondly in her warmest memories of those vanished yester-years. No Cinderella of any age ever arrived in a more golden coach drawn by more spirited prancing horses! Today, busy, Jean Parker has little time or inclination for daydreaming about the dozens of films she headlined or the thousands of fan letters and gifts she once receiced. But join her, as we did, on a sunny Thursday afternoon in her lovely home in Eagle Rock, near where it all started, Pasadena, and her face lights up with the same youthful radiance as she talks of her past glories. Born Mae Green on August 11, her actual birthplace, she explains, was Butte, Montana. “I thought Deer Lodge sounded more romantic for my

(Incredibly, the studio had only a 600-word summary of his life and career.) Shooting was at Paramount Ranch, then located in Calabasas. I barged in on the working unit and introduced myself to the director, John Watters. I met Conklin and the juvenile leads. The girl, the pet of all publicists, was Mary Brian; the hero was Jack Luden, from the coughdrop family. I told the assistant director I had to talk with Fields and he practically fell into my arms. A mix-up had given hours of idleness to Fields before he was to work in the last shot of the day. There was no time to drive him home and back, no lush place to park him. The assistant feared the star would grow bored and restless. He told me to hustle to where Fields sat on a wooden porch all alone, and keep his attention from the fact he wasn’t needed for scenes. 1 realized later that it was my nickname, Teet, that really won the day for me. He savored the sound of the silly name and I explained my real name is Cecil, which I disliked. He countered by reporting that his genuine name was William Claude Dukinfield and that his folks had persisted in calling him Claude. That name irritated him and he had been saved by the nickname of “Whitey.” Then he began chortling about San Fernando Valley names. He was delighted that he was in Calabasas, just beyond Typical of the roles which made W. C. Fields popular is this photo of him in Agoura.

Two famous profiles are matched up in this classic photo of W. C. Fields and his close friend, John Barrymore.

Fields contended that a constant cold in the throat and nose gave him that remarkable voice that was so popular with imitators. When one has to scrounge for goodies and staples, conflicts arise and fisticuffs break out. “My nose was forever dripping and sniffling, red and tender,” he said that day. “It became chronically reddened by being socked so many thousands of times.” I’ll always believe that Fields was responsible for my making it in publicity. He gave me so much about his life that I was able to turn in a 2500-word biography on him. This so amazed the department editor he told the publicity director I had “made good” instantly. Originally, I had been given two months to dig it or scoot. There’s no room to dip into all those stories. But one will illustrate. Fields told how he and a pal worked out a scheme to rob Chinese laundry shops. The Chinese worked back of a partition, leaving the counter and money drawer unattended.

35 Step into the Burreson world

By Frances Kennon

A California investment firm located in the heart of the film capitol.

Why is it that in the last 20 years only 1% of the nations investors made a profit on their investments? The reason is because the average investor is an out classed amateur in the world of professional money management. It is also because the investor has for a long time been “practicing” with his money. Today most investors realize that professional money management is not merely a tool of the rich. Total planning services are availa¬ ble through reputable organizations
