Rita Hayworth's engagement to
Victor Mature seems to be one of
those if-and-when things; they'll be
married when they are freed by di-
vorce from their present matrimo-

lywood executives approve for their

the other hand, she seems to be the

her credit she could do it.

You might keep an eye on Ann
Savage, if you want to see star in
the making. She made her stage de-
but in a little theater few months
ago, and Columbia signed her to
contract and gave her a few minor
roles to get her used to camera
angles. Now they think that she's
a potential star, and she's been
