Dick Powell Gets

That Dick Powell's film comeback
has turned out successfully was
made clear when william LIE Baron.
managing director of production at
Paramount, announced that the
actor has been signed to co-star in
The New Yorkers."
The new contract is a result of
studio executives reaction to Pow

ended the actors extended absence
from the screen and gave him his
flrst chance to play a dramatic role.
Ellen Drew, Jack Benny's leading
lady in Buck Benny Rides Again"
and currently the co-star of "A Date
With Destiny" probably will be
teamed with Powell in THE New
Yorkers."
"The New Workers." an original
story by Preston Sturges formerly
titled "A Cup of Coffee" concerns
two young lovers fighting for happi-
ness in big city.
Paul Jones will produce the pic

Sight Of the week, regardless Of
the fact that the week is q toddlinr
infant, was that of the Roxyettes-
is, we counted them, l6-doing q
very complicated, spirited routine on
the small stage of the Maynower's
large ballroom last night at the 18th
annual father and sons banquet.
The straight line which they usually
work to for the finale became q per-
feet semi circle, as artistic q piece
o. compensation as q mathematics
genius could have created.
Even more so than in the past,
with several hundred more in the
audience to increase the volume, the
event demonstrated that the public
Office, religion, social work, busi-
ness, journalism and similar activi-
ties have not what 1t takes to in
spire hero worship. Least of the
sports celebrities gathered for the
occasion by Sidney Lust received
twice the applause of the most
popular non-SportS figure.
Andy Farkas, winner on our ap-
plause meter, might have been scor-
ing a touchdown instead of Just
finishing of piece of the May
flowers Boston cream pie.
Tip to theater managers: Best
audience we ever ran across any,
where is Ben Wilkinson, jr, third
grade Takoma Park elementary
school pupil, who sat next to us.

much as he did Blue Barron's boys
