Show STAGE SCREEN .RADIO Released by WNU Features. By INEZ GERHARD RAY MILLAND, in New York for some radio appearances, ap-pearances, had an engagement engage-ment with flu instead. Our luncheon engagement found him still wobbly. Though ready to laugh about the bit part he plays in "Tatlock's Millions," and discuss dis-cuss "Sealed Verdict," his latest for Paramount, he was more in a mood to talk about his experiences in the south Pacific during the war. r , f J-, " ? I . ' - j RAY MILLAND Out of them has come an idea for a musical, which he ought to write but probably won't. He'd rather head for a driving range with Mrs. Milland and their eight-year-old son. Each takes a bucket of golf balls and starts driving with young Milland doing better than either of his parents. Ilka Chase's talent for comedy has never been better displayed than in that same "Tatlock's Millions," Mil-lions," but she, too, preferred to talk about something else. Her lecture lec-ture tours, a projected trip to Paris, the mink skins she was taking to a milliner for a hat all were more important than a Hollywood stint which was just one more job so far as she was concerned. Howard da Silva, of RKO's "They Live by Night," can't help tinkering with mechanical objects. He has bought a service station and auto repair shop in the heart of Hollywood, and so far has three profitable inventions inven-tions to his credit. Since "Perry Mason" is the only daytime mystery, it requires special spe-cial treatment so that suspense will carry over from day to day, five days a week. As one plot winds up, as "The Case of the Sinister Sister" Sis-ter" is doing now, the new one is worked in with it. Peter Capell and Fran Lafferty are both key figures in these two heard on CBS. Radio executives complain about giveaway shows, but nothing was done about them until "Everybody Wins" was dropped by its cigarette company sponsor for a weekly series se-ries based on original scripts of a crime-mystery nature. Big-name Hollywood and Broadway plays will be starred. "America's New Air Power," the latest March of Time, shows actual shots of carrier-based jets in action, ac-tion, and of the strange "Parasite," a hitch-hiking jet fighter which is launched from a larger plane. The climax shows the highly specialized training of the men who pilot the jets. Here is the answer to the question of what is being done about air power and defense. "Joan of Arc" is full of tongue-twisting Gallia names and phrases. To make sure audiences au-diences understand them. In-grid In-grid Bergman and others followed fol-lowed a handbook giving the American pronunciation, prepared pre-pared by a former Columbia university professor. Bill Williams and Barbara Hale plan taking their first vacation together to-gether in two years on completion of RKO's "The Clay Pigeon," in which they co-star. Traveling by freighter, they will take three months to visit coastal cities, with Rio de Janiero as the terminus of the trip. This is their first visit below be-low the equator, and they're making it without frills. Robert Cummings Is looking for an actor who looks like Cummings, to star in the story of his life, one of his independent pictures. Arriving Arriv-ing from London he used a British accent, was known as Blade Stanhope Stan-hope Conway. He became a Texan, when British actors were no longer in demand, with the name of Brice Hutchins. Now he wants to film his own story, but will not appear in It.
