Diligence Hath
Its Rewards

Ann Summers, for her movie
debut IN RKO-Radio's Fighting
Frontier" opposite Tim Holt, took
riding lessons for six weeks. To her
CONSERVATION, she learned that the
script had no scenes In which she
would ride. She continued to ride
for fun between scenes on location
near Chatsworth, Calf. Producer
Bert Gilroy, impressed by her eques-
trianism, had her role in the film
rewritten to include several riding
scenes.

Crosby Has Solution
For Ham Shortage
HOLLYWOOD


For the benefit Of the unin-
itiated:
The term ham actor was used
years ago by the early minstrel
men. To remove the burnt cork
from their faces the blackface
boys used to cut strips of rind
from a large ham and wipe the
fat onto the makeup. Then
the cork came of easily.
Bing Crosby. Lynn Overman
and Eddie Foy, jr., are going to
duplicate the scene in Dixie"
the story of Dan Emmett, the
first minstrel. Crosby's remark
Is worth recording:
These days. of course, there
are very few ham actors. The
reason is that it's so difficult to
get any ham. Priorities, you
know"
