Short takes: Most of the movie-makers are considerably upset by Warner Brothers determination to film "Confessions of a Nazi Spy" and pull no punches In the making. The studio sells no pictures in Germany, but others do, occasionally. If such a bitter indictment Is screened, it is feared that Germany not only will ban all American pictures, but will persuade Italy and Japan to do the same, says Paul Harrison.

Charlie Chaplin is another who's getting ready to thumb his nose at Hitler. Chaplin films long have been outlawed from Naziland because the comic's mustache was considered a ridicule upon the dignity of Der Fuhrious Adolf. So in his next picture Chaplin may impersonate Hitler. An extra on the "Tailspin" set was tanned bv Director Boy Del Ruth and asked whether he could do a bit as a drunk man. "Sure!" said tne extra.

"I've been rehearsing that part for 30 years." Th industry's most alarming discovery since the nadir of the de gression is that theater business slumped about 20 per cent during the first 46 weeks or 1938. xnis spite of efforts toward better pic-tures. more expensive pictures and the Movies'-Greatest-Year campaign, which cost plenty and brought only a brief spurt in theater attendance A studio executive received a letter from a non-Aryan relative in Berlin who once worked in Holly wood. "Everything here is fine," It said. "We are all happy and the DeoDle are in good spirits.

The autumn weather has been perfect and the trees are beautiful in their rich colors. It all reminds me of Forest Lawn." (Forest Lawn is a large Los Angeles cemetery.)

I'm supposed to be asking you questions. Imixu'tant questions, such as "What do you collect?" A. Collect? Why, I don't collect anything. All He Needs Is a Hint. Oh, now, you must collect something stamps or antiques or miniature elephants or A.

Well, I've got a few pieces of china. But I wouldn't sny Q. That's it! "Hollywood's largest collection of fine china." How about sports? I think your last biography said you like riding. A. I can play a little tennis.

But don't ever try to get me in a saddle oi an airplane. When I first flew out here I was so slrk positively green! that the boys at the airport didn't even recognize me. And as for riding Yes, those are good sports; sort of dashing and modern. I'll just put them down; "She loves a brisk ranter, and is taking flying lessons." Now, here's a tough one who is your favorite actor? A. That's an ea.sy one.

Spencer Tracy. Aw, Ida now think! Tracy works for Metro. You're supiKwrd to say, "My ideal actor is really a composite. I like the virility of Fred MacMunay; the gaiety of Bob Hope; the wholesome quality of Joel McCrea; the fascinating dash of George Raft; the rugged simplicity of Bob" A All right, have it your way. But I still like Spencer Tracy.

Ida Should Know About Lr. Q. Me, too, but not for the record. Now. about an actress? A.

I can really cooperate with you there, because I like Claudette Colbert. She's got everything. And legs! Why, her legs are the most All rtirht. You admire her dramatic ability, but we'll skip the legs. No, maybe I better get in something about the legs, because she shows 'em In "Zaga" and that'll HI ill LI Mi Wednesday Only!

A. Well, I guess I would advise girls not to use too much make-up. Eyebrow Advice.

No, Ida, you got to think of something exotic, sore of. Like rinsing your hair in the whites of pheasant eggs. Or maybe making a complexion pack out of the Juice from five pounds of white mushrooms. Or truffles. Truffles would be better.

A. Here's something that I really would like to tell a lot of girls: I'd tell 'em not to pull out all their eyebrows. When I first came to Hollywood the make-up people yanked out all my eyebrows and then drew them on me anywhere their whims dictated. I looked awful! The Lord knew perfectly well where my eyebrows belonged, and I don't do anything to them now except shave a little between them. They'd grow together and I'd look like a female Dracula or something.

I don't pluck 'em in between because I get poisoned by make-up and Q. No, Ida, that sounds kind of clinical. I like your truffle idea better. Thanks for giving me all this doe. If there's any space left I'll work in something about your famous father and mother, and your noted cousins and your uncle, and how the Luplnos have been a cerebrated English stage family for 250 years.

In most cases the photographs were far superior to the resulting sketch and there came a day when Korman felt impelled to agree with the verdict of those who had seen both sketch and photo.
