So there was Nice Manning the scenario writ at his desk a couple of weeks scribbling n scene for a Dean a Durbin movie when one of the cad men phoned and said Bruce of d you like to be a so Manning went to his Boss c Pasternak the Durbin product at Universal and said ".lor, in think i ought to do Why demanded pastur a. Nobody might be silly Enogh to make you that kind of an Tor Well have you got and advice r me to insisted Mann in. Get some Arch supports for our advised Pasternak. So Manning got his Arch sup Orts plus a bicycle to ride from age to stage and that brings us Odiay to Bruce Manning the exec Orleans newspaper reporter ironed movie producer. He s Mak in Hack the Fannie urst novel into a movie again Ith Charles Boyer and Margaret Ellavan for stars. Miss Sullavan and or. Bayer Ere reclining on a Haystack with director Robert Stevenson train ing the camera on them when we spied producer Manning on the sidelines biting his fingernails. I never produced n picture be he said. But when i was a kid i used to produce shows in the cellar. There does t seem to be much producer Manning was making Wise cracks. He was telling a whop Ping lie and he knew it. He was in the midst of making one of the year s biggest movies and he was giving the Job everything he had. So we spent the Day with him watching a producer produce. The arithmetic is what of Ives you Buck said producer Manning who with Felix Jackson wrote the screen play. As a writer you casually men Tion a Steamboat it the Landing. You put in i ballroom scene lie cause Yon think it la look Good and then you have the hero saying Farewell to the heroine. In you casually write Down Railroad Sta Tion and what happens As a producer Yon learn that the Railroad station will Cost you . The ballroom will Cost Yau .000. The Steamboat at the Landing will be 12.000. Who you Veu have to pay a Day to rent a Street. You be got to have a couple of Hundred people in tin Street and they Cost you another you need some Lori fashion d autos because its 1910 and that shoo More. What it amounts to when discretion with producer upon the h is that producer your in a writer catch up scions miss Sullavin and the Snave or. Boor in their Haystack As he spoke. Take this he said. The set is the most inexpensive n the whole picture. All it is is i in stack Wilh some Clouds i he Hacku found. So we started hooting Here yesterday. The Hay tickled the actors. The Clouds weren t right. But we finally mule a Lako Anil it looked Fine until we got into the projection room. Then we discovered that the looked wet and the looked like rain and to had to shoot it nil Over again. Here we be spent two Days on so far and i into to think what going to Back Street first Vns made Liuigi in Universal with Dunne As Star. If you la remember the Story it was the picture which stirred up All the fuss about censorship. It was such a hit that even after the film was made the Story still remained one of the studio s most valuable assets numerous other producers tried to buy it for a remake. But the assignment went to Manning in recognition of his expert work As a writer. He s spend ing around which the company is gambling on his ability to make a Good movie. Anyway you look at it that s not bad for a reporter who was covering the City Hall in new Orleans five years ago at a week. 7 hospitals ivs any Public centers hit continued from Page 1 was reported that no persons were killed there but that several were injured. A Canadian resident at the hotel said i was asleep on an upper floor when the bomb exploded. The main Hall suffered the full Force of the blast.
