vivacious brand Of charm is perhaps
her most valuable attribute. The
night clubs gave her that. She
still likes best to sing and dance
before real. live people" but the

she likes that, too.
There's something warming about
a room full of people, looking at
you and listening to you," she OBJ
serves. 1T makes you want to give
out All this confusion of props
and business on a movie set, this
maze of cables and lights and men
running around-it distracts me.
But I don't mind the camera.
I like to pretend the lens is a whole

The Family Fright.
She doesn't like to see her own
pictures. This distress is shared
more or less violently by Teddy, 2,
and GAIL 4, her children. She and
their father, Louis j. Jones, are
separated.
Teddy. on his first and only visit
to one Of Lena's pictures, set up
such a fearful howl they had to
rush him outside.
Scared him to DEATH" Lena ex-
plains. And I don really wonder" j"
Otherwise, her fans are legion,
letters pour in by the jugful, many
of them from servicemen and from
people of her own race. The latter
frequently included requests for
benefit appearances, even before
church groups. She fulfills as many
of these as she can, for she is deeply
concerned with the Negro problem,
toward which her attitude is COM
pletely candid and unselfconscious.
Lena wants to see the Negro dis
tinguish himself in fields other than
entertainment.
The same sincerity characterizes
her work. Before the camera she
is tireless. No amount of rehearsal
bothers her noticeably. She no ps
to the set, turns on the charm and
goes through q number for the 37th

And she probably does.

"The plot has to do with a mildly
turpitudinous author and his secre-
tary. 1t is pure escapist stuff and
the audience seems to appreciate

Good news for New Yorkers and
visitors is the fact that Katherine

will remain here for some weeks in

That will come later.

There being no rationing of ba-
bies, these blessed bundles consti-
tute a major film problem.
Studios expect war to curtail man.
power, but when feminine stars also
join the parade out of cinema cir
culation producers really get spots
before the eyes.
Alice Faye and Betty Cradle are
only two of the topnotchers on the
storks waiting list, and Goth
Century-Fox had to find another
gal for its musicals. So it picked
five of the most likely candidates
beauteouS and vivacious-and put
them through day-long color film
tests. Each girl did the same busi-
ness in the same scene.
The winner-and perhaps next
champion-was Vivian Blaine, band
and night club singer of New York
and Newark.
The four losers Of the testing
contest didn't really lose They'll be
given a bufd sup in dramatic roles
and lesser musicals. Thesfou other
contestants were Gale Robbins OF

Ben Bernie's band; Doris Merrick,
also of Chicago. a former model;
Lois Andrews. the former Mrs.
George Jessel, and Faye Marlowe,

Sullivan Hunt
Reaches Third
Casting Stage
BY the Associated Press,

HOLLYWOOD.
When a movie producer gets an
idea about a film he could make
based on a news article, he often is
catching himself a severe headache.
Sam Jaffe, making THE Sulli-
vans" has problems. He expected
the routine of getting consent from
the family, and from the Navy, and
these he got. The Sullivans con-
sented because, they said, it made
them feel that the story of their
boys who went down together on
the Cruiser Juneau would help the
war effort. The Navy felt the same
way.
The first barriers passed, the next
problem was the story. BY sticking
fairly close to facts, a dramatic tale
shaped itself. AS it concerns the
childhood of the five boys as well as
their adult years, the headache this
time was strictly on the casting de-
partment. They had to hunt up
three sets of boys. containing five
each-as babies, as teen-agers and
the young men who lost their lives.

pressure the casting director re-

CHICAGO.
A dark-eyed, impish-faced girl of
18 who did her first acting only a
year ago has attained stardom
within few months without one
professional lesson in dramatic art.
Patricia Kirkland, of Chicago's
company of kiss and Tell" does
have a theatrical heritage, however.
Her mother is Nancy Carroll, vet
eran actress; her father is Jack
Kirkland. playwright and producer.
Patricia. moreover, has spent most
of her life among stage folk and
celebrities. But this close relation
ship to the theater world never i'm
PEELED her to study drama, nor to
implore her mother to divulge the
trade secrets of acting.
She Cared For Nothing.
Il had no particular yen for any
thing when I was young-least of
all acting says the teen-aged star.
Besides an awful amount of trav-
cling, I was always busy attending
an endless number of schools"
She fell into acting while attend
ing rehearsals for Susan and God"
with her stepmother, Haila Stod-
dard, last year. Patricia came to
the directors attention and he in
sisted on her playing a bit part.
She ultimately did the role for two
weeks at Bucks County Playhouse
in Philadelphia.
Sometime later a friend of the
family interested her in trying for
radio show-the then modest
Meet Corliss Archer" series.
Plucked From The Air.
She won the part in a competitive
addition and had played it only
three performances when another
friend, one close to a booking
agency, plucked her for the Corliss
Archer role in the play kiss And
Tell" by the radio series author, F.
Hugh Herbert.
Her performance has the explosive
quality OF star shell. Playgoers
must enjoy her contagious enthus-
iasm for they've pushed kiss and
Tell" which opened last May, into
the leading box Office attraction in
Chicago.
George Abbott, who produced and
staged the comedy, gets the palms
for polishing Patricia's S performance
to a professional brilliance. He has
equipped her with all she lacked in
training and experience.
Mr.. Abbott Is Right.
Hes so fair" Patricia says sweet
ly, though you don't like to have
him correct you. you know he's right.
We hate to have him come here
but we're so GRATEFUL"
While much of her talent may be
inherited, and due credit must be
paid Abbott's direction, there is an
other possible source of her stage
poise and natural theatrical re-
