Show I By VIRGINIA VALE ' (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) I IT LOOKS as if heroes of j 1 the sports world would ! come into their own on the ' motion picture screen with a ! vengeance in the near future. fu-ture. Columbia's already begun production on "Harmon "Har-mon of Michigan," with Tom Harmon himself appearing in the title role. Republic has signed Billy Conn, of the i squared circle, to star in one pic- I ill ture. It will be "Kid Tinsel," based on the novel of that name by Octavus Roy Cohen. And David Selz-nick Selz-nick and Metro want to bring us a picture based on the life of the great Lou Gehrig of the baseball base-ball diamond. That one would be a lit- Tom Harmon tle tou6h,er assi' ment, of course-imagine course-imagine finding someone who'd be acceptable as Lou! While we're on the subject of hero portrayal, Gary Cooper does a remarkably re-markably good job in "Sergeant York." The picture is one of those that you'll have to see, unless you want to sit by and suffer forever after while your friends tell you how i good it was. & Most of the sequences of "Glamour "Glam-our Boy" show backstage scenes on the Paramount lut, so if you want to see what the inside in-side of a motion picture pic-ture studio really looks like, check this Jackie Cooper-Susanna Foster picture pic-ture as one that you want to be sure to see. For one sequence, se-quence, in a producer's pro-ducer's office, Wal- ter Abel and Jackie Susanna Cooper are doing a Foster scene. Framed on the office wall are portraits of Madeleine Made-leine Carroll, Dorothy Lamour, Claudette Colbert, Mary Martin and Paulette Goddard. "You seem to be nervous, Jackie," Jack-ie," Abel commented. "What's the matter?" "Who wouldn't be nervous doing a scene with all those big stars watching?" Jackie demanded. Deanna Ourbin certainly is growing grow-ing up; she's inherited a story thai was originally bought for Margarei Suilavan. It's called "They Live Alone," and the Durbin role is that of a girl reporter who lives in New York. At present she's finishing "Almost an Angel," with Charles Laughton, The new picture postpones post-pones three others that were scheduled sched-uled for her, so Universal must think it's good. "Navy Blue and Gold" was characterized char-acterized by the nation's critics as one of the finest service films ever made; naval officers have said that it is the most authentic story of Annapolis An-napolis ever presented on the screen. So Metro is reissuing it, and we'll all have another chance j to see James Stewart as he looked when he was a wvie actor instead j of a soldier. I Hbert Marshall has joined the all-star cast of the new Joan Craw-; Craw-; lord picture. "When Ladies Meet," i which already included Greer Gar-; Gar-; son and Robert Taylor. Even be-fore be-fore he joined it, Metro was an- formidable star combinations of many months. IpSw '1 ?ning WaS Anne Shir-Pnm.
