'Meet the People,; she's climbed
clear to the top of the ladder in the
meantime. Right now people are
crowding to see her in 'Du Barry
Was Lady" She's the only one of
the original twelve who's still in
pictures.
Those American Youth Hostels
that have become so popular get
their innings in "Song of the Open
Road" for which Sammy Kaye and
his orchestra have been signed. Red
headed Peggy O'Nein makes her
debut in the starring role.
Leatrice Joy Gilbert has been un-
der contract to Metro for some
time, but it's only now that she's
going to get her chance-a role in
"KiSmet." She worked in summer
stock last season, and If there's
anything in heredity this daughter of
Leatrice Joy and the late Jack Gil
bert certainly ought to go far as an
actress. Her father was one of
Metros big stars for years.

Cinderella" for RKO, and they do
say that the story of the picture is
pretty much the story of the young
mans life.
When Bob Hope got back from
that trip that took him to England,
Africa, Sicily and Iceland he wasn't
sure whether he'd be able to return
to the air September 81 or not
said Bing Crosby would pinch hit
for him if he couldn't. He was pref
ty tired, but forgot that when he
talked about his trip. ''The greatest
thing that ever happened to me-"
said he. And believe me, the pro-
grams we do from the States are
going to mean more than ever to us
now that we know what they mean
to the men,"
Last season hundreds of service
men had to be turned away from
the Edgar Bergen-Charlie Mccarthy
shows because of lack of room.
This year Bergen will put on pre-
view of the show, just as it goes on
the air, plus added entertainment by
Songstress Dale Evans and the cast,
for service men on furlough in the
Los Angeles area. So every Satur-
day night there'n be fun for SOL
diers, sailors and marines.
