In anoth-e- r phase, it is to be remembered that there are some 2,000,000 fellows who got their feet stuck in French mud and who fought off French cooties as well as German attacks. They are scattered throughout the United States. I know of few of those fellows who ever want to see any more of war. They are saying SO with great freedom. They have convinced their friends and neighbors and the families. So, from a said the other day.

Alexander Hall, the director, is making every effort to hurry things along, and is making all the scenes with Douglas first. v. mm IN philosophy of peace and the expressions of experience, it strikes me that universal military service will not get very far now unless the entire New Deal political machine can be used to run over the opposition as Hitler's th Somewhere in England . . .

Moreover, it is held that with Hitler and his gang dominating Europe, they will dictate trade.

If you think you'd like to be a motion picture producer, pause and consider what happened at the Paramount studio recently when Joel Mc Crea withdrew from the cast of "Arise My Love" because of ill health.

Dorothy Lamour traded a $10,000,-00- 0 (according to her studio) head of hair for 30 cents' worth of calico, and it wasn't just a stunt in a movie scenario either. Seems she's been tresses, wanting to bob those which played quite a part in establishing her as a draw at the The studio wanted her to make some more pictures in which she wore a sarong, and she was determined not to. So both sides gave in; she had her hair bobbed by Wally Westmore, head of the makeup department (and cried a little, as most girls do when they hear that first snip of the shears) and consented to do three South Seas "Moon Over Burma," pictures "Aloma of the South Seas," with Jon Hall, and "South of Samoa," with Bing Crosby. A custom has been initiated during the rehearsals of the Rudy Val-le- e show to mark the scripts with asterisks to denote the laugh allowed. The reason for this is to clock for timing when the show is actually broadcast. Four asterisks are tops in laugh pauses. The other night someone in the cast asked scriptwriter Sid Fields what it meant to see five asterisks Instead of the customary four. Replied Fields, "Then you know that you have the Fred Allen script by When yoa see the Bin; Crosby picture, "Rhythm on the River," yoa may be surprised to find that Ken Carpenter, Bing's announcer and cblme ringer on the air, plays a radio announcer named "Ken Carpenter." It's the result of an accident. Scenarists had given Carpenter another name in the picture, but John Scott Trotter, who's Bing's broadcast band leader and plays a band leader In the picture, made a long film take In which be called Carpenter by his real name. It was simpler to change the name than to do the scene over again. tfS7ndCror nollo- - ,n (2) That Step-by-ste- p requires 3Vs yards of terial for the ensemble; ruffling.

In one scene he had to fall down, with the proper accompanying sound effects; usually that just means that the sound man makes the noises. But Arthur insisted on doing his own fall. The show was on for the eastern broadcast. Arthur fell wrong, the script flew in all directions, and Penny Singleton had to rush over with her script and let Arthur read his part from it until his script had been reassembled.
