Show By INEZ GERHARD OLIVE DEERING'S stage career began when she was twelve, in a Broadway success; her screen career began with the important role of "Miriam," in "Samson and Delilah." C. B. DeMille had not been able to find the right actress for that part; the day before shoot- r --' -.v. OLIVE DEERING ing began he found Olive. She made a second picture, "Caged," for Warner's, then she and her husband, hus-band, Leo Penn, headed east in their car. He was one of the leading lead-ing men in "Not Wanted." Had a fine trip all the way. They are a delightful delight-ful young couple, very much in love. And with their good looks, talent and experience, they should go far in pictures. Mrs. Gertrude Berg, author and star of the CBS "The Goldbergs," has received an offer from George Jessel for a featured role in a forthcoming forth-coming film, the fifth picture contract con-tract offered in recent months. She's too busy to accept. This does seem to be going a bit too far. By unanimous consent of its city council and approval of its mayor. Hot Springs, New Mexico, Mexi-co, has changed its name to Truth or Consequences, in honor of Ralph Edwards' NBC show! American producers have been trying to sign British Kathleen Kath-leen Ryan ever since she appeared ap-peared in "Odd Man Out." Producer Pro-ducer Robert Stillman has done it one picture a year for seven years. Her first will be United Artists "The Sound of Fnry." Knowing he was associated with Stanley Kramer in making "Champion" and "Home of the Brave," she accepted the role without reading the script. Elizabeth Taylor won all hearts one recent afternoon in New York. She was having several coats and suits fitted, and was practically out on her feet from fatigue, but she willingly posed for photographs. She was going out with her fiance that evening, was flying to Texas the next day, and her mother thought she ought to stay home that night and rest. Elizabeth went out! Howard Lesieur, director of advertising ad-vertising and publicity for United Artists, has come up with something some-thing new. He has engaged two retired re-tired detectives, formerly of New York's police department and homicide homi-cide squad, to visit key cities and promote "D. O. A." ("Dead on Arrival,") story of a man who "reports "re-ports his own murder." Edmond O'Brien stars, Pamela Britton and Luther Adler co-star. George Stern, playing "Tippy" in Warner Bros. "Barricade," has a lot of stern critics lying in wait for him. In his off-screen moments he taught English and dramatics at Lafayette Junior high school in Los Angeles. |
