It's Saturday afternoon, time for
the big Harvard-Yale game of 20
years ago-in the perturbation of
the best-seller novel, III. M. Pull
ham, ESQ.," on stage II at M-G-M.
Crowds stream into the stadium.
Pennants wave. Pretty girls are
pinning bright corsages on coat
lapels. All the essential atmos-
phere seems to be there as Hero
inc Hedy Lamar and Hero Robert
Young greet two friends, Ruth
Hussey and Phil Brown, at the
head Of stairway. Director King
Vidor is rehearsing the scene and
placing extras at just the right
spots around the group.
Maybe I'm overdressed," Hedy
whispers to Bob. But at his ad-
miring glance she's satisfied.
Miss Hussey, appropriately dressed
in fetching wool suit and raccoon
coat, is giving her rival a disdain-
full once-over.
do you like football?" she
haughtily asks Hedy.
This is my first game answers
Hedy.
Just then an extra standing at
Hedy's elbow laughs.
why did you do that?' questions
Vidor.
We'll, it just doesn't seem prob
able that girl who looks like Miss
Lamar has never been to a foot
ball game" he answers.
1T doesntp" queries the star,
turning her wide, soulful eyes on the
extra. We'll, it's true. I've never
seen football camel"
The extra, a tall, handsome chap,
recovered in time to try to do him.
self some good.
"Ill be most happy to try to fix
that up any Saturday afternoon you
name this fall" he whispered to
Hedy. There might have been a
date, maybe new romance born
right there-if it hadn't been for
that machine-Llinded Vidor.
Lets cut out all this silly patter
and get down to business" he yelled,
giving the extra lad a malignant
look. places, please-everybody!"
So the crowd again swallowed UP
the bold extra-who almost maybe
had a date with Lamarrl
No let-up in fun on any set where
Bob Benchley happens to be work
ing. He's always surrounded by
actors and workers eager to listen
to his after-scene remarks. Right
now, Benchley is is or 20 pounds
overweight and has put himself on
a rigid diet.
That's why he staged a minor re-
bellion at discovering a scene with
Fredric March in Bedtime Story
calling for him to drink three glasses
of milk. Benchley argued, but Di-
rector Alex Hall was insistent. 1t
couldn't be filmed in any other way,
with any other liquid.
Benchley reluctantly agreed to 20
ahead with the thing, providing
they'd make 1t skinned milk. That
was okay. 1t was a difficult scene
and what with rehearsals and re-
takes, the rotund comedian had
consumed about a gallon of the stuff
before the finish line was reached.
He made a wry face, turned to
Hall and queried: do I get a stunt
check for that?"

In the fanfare of ceremony incident
to the opening of the unnamed
Potomac toll bridge, and in the
current mass of publicity attending
the highway program" of the State
Roads Commission, one discordant
note seems to have escaped public
attention. This is the fact that the
envisioned road program still re-
mains an ION order" proposition.
The dilemma, which faces the
so-called Morgantown bridge and
those who wish to use this link as
the short, open route between
Baltimore and Richmond, is a case
in point. The bridge is fine, but the
roads leading to it are terrible.
While the criticism isn't official
yet, army, navy and commercial
trucking circles are saying soto
voce that here is one bridge the
Commission should have crossed be.
fore it came to it.
Already the large interstate
Horton Trucking Company, which
wanted to dispatch some 80 man.
moth trucks day across the span,
has been forced to cancel the route
from it's schedules because of the
antiquated, round-top highway be-
tween La Plata and the new bridge.
Yet plans were projected for the
approach roads and $4,000 ear
marked for the purpose in governor
O'Conor's budget two years ago
when the federal grant, plus private
capital, was assured for the pro-
