The Squire of SaugaS has done 1t again. Thirty years in motion pie lures and stillNonc of the top char acter stars in Hollywood. Yes, it's Harry Carey, the Saugus rancher who steals acting honofs in Ali Force," one of the years really great movies. It's remarkable that Carey, one of the all-time great western stars, should so successful ly bridge the gap to character roles From riding the range to riding a B-2l bomber is quite a leap, too. But Carey does it with typical Carey firrsSe.
 Warmers location trip to Tampa, Fla, for trc film, was one of the toughest In Hollywood history, Unbearable heat in swampy coun- try that had most of the cast on sick leave. Except Harry, who ex- plained: At my age (65) If took a day off 1t would probably start a whispering campaign. You know, They'd go around saying, "Carey's getting old. He can't take 1t any more" Most men 20 years his jun for would like to be table to take it the way he can.
 After four years in Hollywood, Ingrid Bergman has undergone a metamorphosis complete from com plexion to character. The blonde, shy and stately Swede has been transformed into tbe black-haired Creole vixen, Clio, for the film ver- sion of Edna Ferber'S Saratoga Trunk" Miss Bergman herself, and not the Hollywood influence, must be credited with the transforma- ton. She believed the change of acting pace would be good for hel career. After a succession of serious dramatic parts, she wanted a gay happy role. And Clio is it. She vamps every male in the cast, has a lavish wardrobe of 30 changes. She darkens her eyebrows, to harmonize with her black wig, and is using more makeup than she has ever used before. She also sings for the first time-in French and in New Orleans Negro dialect. Quite q transformation. And one the GUS toners, I'm sure, will enjoy
