Show creen The film industry's full cooperation co-operation has been mobilized to help put over the top the 14 billion Sixth War Loan Drive which began be-gan on Nov. 16th and will last through Dec. 20th. Dec. 7th has been designated as "Free Movie Day" when everyone who makes a purchase of a bond at movie theatres throughout the country will be admitted free of charge. Then, too, the Navy and War departments de-partments have prepared twelve short films for exclusive use in Liie -luiiuu campaign. The past few years have been very kind to young people bitten with the "I want to be an actress" bug. Practically all of the major studios are on the look-out for new faces, both men and women, and quite a few newcomers have proved to be real finds having real acting talent plus reasonable good looks. Bob Hope has already written a book about his recent adventures adven-tures in The South Pacific while entertaining our troops in that theater. As usual, Hope will give his royalties to charity. George Raft's first picture foru RKO will be "Johnny Angel" the story of which is mystery stuff about a sea captain, played by Raft, who comes up on a boat in mid-ocean with no sign of passengers pas-sengers or crew, and apparently no cargo, until it is discovered that there is $8,000,000 from Free France aboard. The development of the story is interesting. Although Columbia is a little fearful lest Alexander Knox's role in "Wilson" typed him too deeply for anything suggesting romance, he has been signed to play the romantic lead opposite Irene Dunne in "Over Twenty-One." In a scene where Sonja Hen-ie Hen-ie and Don Loper do a dance sequence se-quence in a dream garden by a lily pool, rhinestones were hanging hang-ing from every branch, twig and leaf on a nearby tree. The prop-Iman prop-Iman had put them there to represent rep-resent dew. |
