HOLLY WOOD.
Wartime priorities and rationing
have turned the life of Joe Benin
into nightmare.
Joe has been q prop man at 10th
Century Fox for 10 years. A prop
man Is the fellow who has to dig up
everything used in picture-except
actors, of course.
Several weeks ago Benin was as
signed to THE Immortal Sergeant" "
starring Henry Fonda. Benin will
be very glad when the picture is
completed.
Here are some OF the things he
had to produce:
One armored Bren gun-carrier
(British), complete with Bren gun.
One armored car Qtalian), to be
set af1re In one scene.
Five hundred rounds of ammu-
milton.
Six Enfield rifles and one Lewis
machine gun British.
An authentic tin. of emergency
rations, such as is carried by Raj
flyers.
Cheese in tube, like toothpaste,
such as is carried by Nazi troops.
AS you can guess, THE Immortal
stripped to its chassis. Working
from photographs, the Bren gun
carrier was built on one, the Italian
Sergeant" is a story of war as it is
being fought on the Libyan Desert.
And here's how Benin delivered the
needed articles:
Two old trucks we're taken from
the studio motor pool. Each was
armored car on the other. Tires
for the latter came from the car
penter shop. They were made OF
wood.
The studio arsenal had a Lewis
gun and three Enfield rifles. He got
three more of the latter after con-
tacting gun collectors.

Alice Faye Returns.

Alice Faye, looking too fragile, tells
me on the set of Hello, Frisco,
Hello" that her young daughter,
Alice junior, will follow mama S
footsteps and work in pictures
about one a year" This is the
first picture for Alice in 18 months,
Evening star., 1942-12-05

She was i'll for several months after
the birth of her baby, and still looks
as though she should be in bed, ano
not on movie lot.
I'm a whole size thinner" she
explains. Il feel tired now, anG
the picture has been in production
only three weeks. I'll have to take
long rest afterwards, and for the
next year or two go pretty slow or
work"
Her vacation will be spent al
Catalina, where husband Phil Harris
is now with the marines as a lieu
tenant q. g. in charge of enter
tainment. 1t Harris still continues
with the Jack Benny radio show
turning over his salary to the Gov
ernment.
Il don't see much of my baby
while I'm working" says Alice wist-
fully. She's real Alice, with blue
eyes and blond hair. On Sundays
I act as nurse, dressing and un-
dressing her every two hours"
Joan Introduces Hubby.
Joan Crawford introduces me to
her husband, Philip Terry, on the
set of Suspicion" where they are
currently spending their honey
moon. The boy is quite surprise
for me. He wears eyeglasses, is
quiet and unobtrusive. In Joan's
first marriage with Douglas Fair
banks, jr., she concentrated on be-
coming lady" so that Doug would
not be ashamed of her with his
society friends (Which was silly
because Joan was more of a lady
than any of them. With second
husband, Franchot Tone, Joan went
intellectual, SO that Franchot would
not be ashamed when introducing
her to his friends. This again was
a mistake, as Franchot proved by
marrying blond cutie for his
second wife. Joans third husband
is just an ordinary, everyday guy
with whom Joan can be completely
herself. I have a hunch this mar
riage will last.

Claudette is a nurse; so is co-star
Paulette Goddard. Both girls get
new leading men. Claudette marries
George Reeves, Paulette loves Sonny
Tufts. Let me introduce you to the
new heroes. George has toiled in
Hollywood four years. Apart from
Lydia" his film output has con-
sisted of Westerns and "B's.'
This picture is my first real
break" he tells me. But I'm going
into the Army at the end of it. I'm
married, but we'll all be fighting
before the wars over, and I might
as we'll go before they call me-"
George is feet /, dark, and hand
some.
Very Congenial Task.
Mr. Tufts, making his first film,
tells me that his role consists of
making huge amount of love to
Miss Goddard, which isn't a bad
break for any man, let alone a new
conner. Sonny belongs to the Boston
family that founded Tufts College,
but he became the black sheep of
the family-"when I went to Yale"
Sonny looks like Stirling Hayden. He
is tall-6 feet 4l2-blond, and hand
some. And he is married, which is
great blow to the lonely females of
Hollywood.
There are about 5000 extras in
uniform in $50 Proudly We Hail"
And as this is the set that all the

imagine what goes on. I saw
rookie slip into the line of phony
soldiers, and march with them into
the phony ship, but there was
nothing phony about his marching
which is how he was detected!

Theater favorite, is going to lead a
band. She picks up the baton
dropped by her husband, Dick
Stable. when he enlisted in the
Coast Guard, and will keep his band
intact.
One presumes that Oracle will
be singing orchestra leader for
she has been soloist with the Stable
group since their marriage. Only
other feminine band leader is Ina
Ray Hutton, who depends more
upon allure than talent.
Stable Band is booked for Oriental

sidering all the bands prospects,
it is likely that Miss Barrie may
become the first feminine leader of
