HOT NUMBERS,
HOT WEATHER

The actual weather in Holly
wood was appropriate for the
goings-on in the tropical night
club set of Navy Blues" Sultry
and hot. Hula gals all over the
place. Above the bar one
of those old four-bladed ceiling
fans revolved lazily; above that,
and out of sight of the camera,
a husky prop man stood on q
platform and turned the fan with
a crank.
The camera turned; voices and
an unseen orchestra began the
theme song. In marched Ann
Sheridan, wearing something
briefly nautical, and was hoisted
to the shoulders of q couple Of
bartenders. In came Martha
Raye, hula-costumed, to be
boosted onto the bar. In pranc-
ed six photogenic cuties, in out
fits much too elegant and modest
for a honky-tonk chorus.
Everybody sank. Miss Raye,
wriggling With discretion, moved
along the top of the bar and
backed into the slowly moving
fan. Registering panic, she grab
bed two of the blades, was swept
off her feet and began to re-
volve rapidly as the unseen prop
man labored at the crank.
Evidently this was the finale
of the picture. It certainly look
ed like a good place to stop.

besides, it should be in different

So. he arranged several wind
