No parade up the streets here,

The Swing Men
Set Off to War
And Hollywood
List Is Expanding
As Movie Studios
Pr0ve Filling
HOLLYWOOD.


Swing manpOWer is swinging over
to the armed forces and, incl
oentally, to molten pictures, as one
result Of the war.
Dozens Of orchestra leaders and
several entire bands have joined up
to form virtual swing shift" in
various branches of Uncle Sans
services. Among music notables now
in uniform are Rudy Vallee, Glenn
Miller, Artie Shaw. Phil Harris,
Ted Weems, Glen Gray. Will Brad
ley, David Rose and Buddy Rich.
Meanwhile, some of those not sub
Ject to immediate call have left the
hard-hit musical field for the
movies, and this influx of talent NAV
relieve an unexplained dearth of
male singers among the top-ranking
screen stars.
1t is an unaccountable fact that
while there are a dozen feminine
singers in the top fight of stars,
few male vocalists have landed In
the select circle. Bing Crosby,
Nelson Eddy and Allan Jones are
among the exceptions. Many
warblers, like Walter Pidgeon, Dick
Powell, Rudy Vallee, Left Erickson
and Don Ameche, have been most
successful in non-singing roles.
Several favorites of the swing
world have led the way into the
Hollywood studios. Leighton Noble,
former orchestra leader and singer,
was a recent arrival and makes his
debut as the male lead in Abbott
and Costello's 1T Amt Hay" An
other is Ray Eberle, vocalist for
Glenn Miller until the latter entered
the service and later with Gene
Krupa.
After turning down several prev
ious studio offers, Eberle has signed
with Universal. He has arrived in
Hollywood with his wife and two
daughters and makes his screen bow
by playing himself in Trombone
From Heaven" In the same film.

Michael Curtis,
Top Executioner
OF a Language
But the Ace Director
Also Sbecialises
In Bo1.OHce Records
HOLLYWOOD

I1oLL WOOD.
1t seems to be the fate of Michael
Curtiz to be forever competing with
himself, both as an original inter-
prefer Of the English language and
as director of motion pictures.
Curtiz' linguistic creations have
made hundreds of items for news
paper columns. His pictures have
made millions of dollars for the
Warner Bros, his studio bosses. Such
are his talents in the two fields that
he might reasonably expect to win
the pinnacle of fame with single
achievement in one, or both. Except
for the fact that he's always running
into competition from a fellow
named Michael Curtiz.
When, for example, his bring on
the empty horses" meaning the
rlderless mounts for cavalry
charge, was on the way to becoming
an imperishable classic, Curtiz had
to rival 1t with a where are the
boy cows?" That one, meaning COW
boys, had scarcely been disseminated
and digested when the articulate,
but not always accurate, Curtiz
topped it by saying he'd like to pay
visit ito Quintaloupes. He was
in Canada at the time, directing,
and just for the record, he did see
the Dionne sisters Three years ago,
Curtiz seemed on the point of win
ming the Academy Of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences Oscar for which
he is a perennial leading candidate.
As usual, however, he had too much
competition from Curtiz. He'd been
nominated for two pictures, Angels
With Dirty Faces" and -Four
Daughters" Even with the split
vote, he lost the Oscar for -Four
Daughters" by just four ballots.
At this writing, the irrepressible
Mr.. Curtiz is running an unusually
close race with himself. rhetorically
and automatically. His speed in
giving utterance to such picturesque
selecisms as Il want you should be
quick, like flashlight," separate
them together in bunch" now
blow the assembly for going away"
and quiet. please, I want a noise
darkout," has been matched by his
comparative swiftness in turning
out such box Office and artistic film
successes as Captains Of the
Clouds" yankee Doodle Dandy"
and "Casablanca,"
AS regards the box Office record
picture for his company, he's still
his own sternest competitor. Yam
kee Doodle Dandy" looked like a
cinch for the money crown until
"Casablanca" started breaking rec
ords Whatever marks those pace
settlers ring up, the film version
Of former Ambassador Joseph E.
Davies book Mission to Moscow"
is likely to excel. Curtiz is directing
it. Then there's the Irving Berlin
show this Is the Army" coming up.

wonderful herself So much sim
cerity and honesty has rarely had
the good fortune to be combined in
one piece of femininity The en-
tire package is extremely rare in
Hollywood. And I hope her bosses
will forgive her-and me-fOr dwell
so long on the marital theme. And
l am positive that the admission
of normal happy home life will
not damage Miss Jones with the
movie fans who see her in The
Song Of Bernadette.' I've always
maintained that the performance
is the only thing that matters.
Anyway, you'd probably like to
know how Miss Jones. who has
never acted on a professional stage.
or appeared in the movies, snagged
one Of the biggest movie acting
plumS Of the year. Two years ago,
under her maiden name of Phyllis
Isley, she called on David Selz-
nlck's story editor in New York.
She had just read that Dave had
purchased the movie rights of
Claudia" and she was sure heaven
had designated her to play the
role. Dorothy Mcclure, who
played the part on the stage had
already been hired for the screen
repeat, but Jennifer, who looks like
younger MaTeen O'Sullivan,
was tested for the fun Of it.
Then Selznick made his S2.0O0000
deal with goth Century-FoX, who
took over most Of his movie prop
critics and to whom he loaned most
OF his stars. An unknown was want
ed to play Bernadette. And after
one look at the sweet face of Jen-
nlter she was given the role.
The picture was due to start two
weeks ago, but the heavy rains
washed away some Of the Village
Of Lourdes that had been built on
the back lot of the studio. Next
Monday is the new production date.
