Show By INEZ GERHARD li It YANKEE at King Arthur's Court" has been screened three times; Paramount's new version ver-sion is the best of the three. Done in Technicolor, with delightful new songs, it stars Bing Crosby, Sir Cecil Hardwick, Rhonda Fleming and William Bendix. Sir CeciL superb su-perb in his comedy role as the king, raises his voice in song and i ' $) Bing Crosby also appears with bare knees, something some-thing new for him, though he said recently at luncheon that it's the second time the knees have appeared ap-peared publicly. The first time was on the stage, when he wore a Roman toga. This is a picture for the whole family to enjoy, expertly expert-ly directed and acted, beautifully staged. Paramount will tell movie audiences audien-ces about 11 of its new pictures in a nine-minute short, "Eyes on Hollywood"; starring Alan Ladd and Mary Jane Saunders, it depicts de-picts the thrills of a child seeing the inside workings of a studio the first time. Stars, directors, everybody every-body will be seen in special scenes. The film will be available to theaters thea-ters without charge. King, dog veteran of numerous numer-ous landings in the Pacifio during the war, makes his screen debut in "After Midnight." Mid-night." In his first scene he leaped at Alan Ladd, tore bis leather jacket to shreds, and hung on in a struggle on the ground then, when Director Mitchell Leisen called "Cut," King immediately relaxed his grip and tried to lick Ladd'a face! Another animal actor celebrated his 13th birthday the other day, on the set of Monogram's "The Kia Came West." He was Rebel, the black horse used by Johnny Mack Brown and his birthday cake was made of straw, with carrots for candles. |
