overnight sensation in the stage
musical. Let's Face It." After
five years Hollywood discovered
him. He was brought back to movie
town and cast with Bob Hope in
the film version of the stage hit.
Other day Paramount previewed the
picture Gully Richards was SEN
sational Just what we've been
looking for" said studio officials.

World War II has brought about
a lot of changes IN movie produc-
ton not the least of which is that
Hollywood never destroys anything
these days Even for a scene of
complete destruction in a film as
important as For Whom the Bell
Tolls" nothing was really destroyed
it only appeared to be ruined.
For a scene of a beautiful cafe in
Madrid in a bomb raid, the studio
resorted to a remarkable series of
tricks to accomplish the perfect
illusion. The cafe walls were built
en- rockers and they merely quiver-
ed instead of being shattered
Plaster fell in fistfuls, but not from
the ceiling. Prop men stationed
strategically about the set dropped
it from above into camera range
Even a busted-up bar was break
away affair which was stuck bach
together again for future use II
other films. It's taken war-ant
a $4,000 ceiling on new sets in any
one picture for fabulous Holly
