DANCING ALONG
Apparently ballerina Touman-
ova's debut in Days of Glory Is
not 20 be a one movie fling. Casey
Robinson. who is starring the
dancer in this picture with Greg
DRY Peck. has just bought a new

Green HusSar, no less
Since Toumanova and Peck are
under contract 10 Robinson they

produces the film al RKO or under
and independent Set-up. Gregory
Peck is about the hottest bet in
Hollywood right now. And as for
Toumanova-she is proving TO be
an actress as well as a dancer.
For there's nary a twirling toe

q Russian charmer with many
men in her life.
