Veronica Lake and Cecil Kellaway
got a great kick out of talking all
one day in bottled voices.
You don't know what that means?
Well, in their current picture, II

of witches, first appearing as mere
wisps of smoke.
They snoop around-in smoke
form-and dive into bottles to escape
detection whenever any one ap-
.proaches.
And, from those bottles, their
voices are heard on the screen in
conversation.
Naturally, the two couldn't be
thrust into bottles. 5000, sound
effects men cut the bottoms out of
two five-gallon water bottles and
had the players stick their heads in

Their voices then emerged from

pitched tones gave no bottled real

Finally, they had her talk through

sounded single bottled.

NEW YORK, July II wide
World .-Broadcasting never seems
to get away from puzzling problems
involving music, or the devices from
which 1t can be reproduced.
It wasn't so long ago that the
question Of the use of copyright
music was settled after year Of
wrangling. Likewise, differences of
one sort or another that. have
sprung up between stations and
those who play the instruments
which turn out the tunes have
passed into history.
But the latest developing stu
alton may be tough one. It CEN

G. Petrillo, president Of the Amer

the 100000 members of his union
would discontinue making records or
other recorded devices for use by
radio stations, juke boxes or other
public reproducing equipment after
July 81. Records for home use
would not be affected.
What the individual broadcast
stations, many of which are heavy
users of recordings and transcript

closed. The National Association
Of Broadcasters' board Of directors

trary came last summer when the
studios suddenly attributed the de-
cline in picture popularity to the
fact that photoplays were being
reviewed by critics and Hollywood
columnists on the basis of preview
showings. Months ahead OF the
actual release OF the picture in some
cases, these adverse comments were
regarded as a kiss of death. The
first form of escape from it was to
triple the secrecy surrounding the
sneak showing Of the picture. News
papermen who used to be invited
not only were not told but severe
penalties were threatened for those
who dared tip them of.
Dispute Quickly Settled.
It worked out as quite q contro-
versy for while, but eventually the
issue was settled and the preview
seemed set for long, calm life.
Producers were happy in the con-
viction that they could get honest,
meaningful audience reaction with
out further Interruption.
1t was sort OF like being In Par
adise until people living In it began
to be made fools Of by preview audi
ences who think 1t is funny to ap-
plaud the wrong pictures and the
wrong players and to write unfav-
orable remarks on the ones that
really are good.
It nigh be sign that movie audi
ences have grown up, at least to a
kind OF malicious adolescence-a
very funny age when viewing its
antics from distance, this distance

She Astounded Hollywood by Admitting She Couldn't Ac

HOLLYWOOD.
Studio officials were really quite
astonished by Esther Williams.
Here was girl who wouldn't sign
a film contract. More surprising
than that, she admitted she couldn't
act.
Esther Williams was a swimmer
and one of the best. She was wom-
ems national 1oo-meter free-style
champion in 1899. She anchored
the winning 400-meter relay team
the same year. Competitors In the
1888 women's meet named her the
typical American girl swimmer"
She vowed 'em In 1910 as star of
Billy Roses Aquacade at the San
Francisco World Fair.
School Sounded Good.
She's 20, a beautiful brunei,
shapely, smart-but turned down
offers from nearly every studio in
Hollywood.
Il can't actin a swimmer" she
insisted
Finally Metro Goldwyn Mayer
offered to send her to dramatic
school for year. Only after that
would she go before a camera, the
studio promised.
That sounded pretty good.

1940) and I argued about it for three
weeks" she says. HE was afraid
I wouldn't like the movies. I had
hunch would, once I learned some
thing about acting"
Gable Helped Her.
Esther finally won Lillian Burns,
dramatic coach, and half dozen
charm specialists began teaching
her to walk correctly, speak clearly,
emote and smile like the all-Amer-
lean girl.
BY the time she was ready for
screen test she had become ac-
quainted with Clark Gable, also on
the lot. He offered to act with her
in the test.
After it was over, she thought
Gable was wonderful: Gable
thought she was wonderful, and the
studio seemed to think the test was
wonderful. They jumped her i'm
mediately to featured role In the

Like Lana Turner, Kathryn Gray

"You might get away"
Several others walked by his table.
All commented that he must be
worn out from his long trip. They
asked how he could stand such a

Hope nodded, admitted he was a

You don't get tired. You just keep

camps something to laugh at. just
letting them know we're behind

He was deadly serious again.
Audiences are great, but with
these boys it was different. They
were electrifying. You don't think of

He told of playing two engage
ments in New Orleans. one his radio

play three more camps around

day, several hundred miles apart.
