Miss Gordon, who gave up her
career to raise a family, has been
living In Hollywood and returns to
the screen at the insistence Of Bor-
cage to play the richly dramatic
role of Angie, the checkroom woman
in the production.
The role of Angie is very similar
to that of the mother which lifted
Miss Gordon to immediate stardom
in "Humoresque," the picture which
also served to establish the very
young BorZage as one of the top
directors of the screen.
stage Door Canteen" is based
on the famous New York meeting

armed services and will feature over
40 of the great names of motion

erones. Occasionally a pair Of them
will venture bravely out onto the
floor and move sedately around, but
they better watch out-and they do.
Reason is that all the high school
youngsters living in the vicinity Of
Paramount are working In the scene
This Is Christmas vacation and
they've been rehearsing the kicks,
shufles, slides and other gyrations
of the Charleston most of the morn
ing. So when the orchestra breaks
into What Do You Do on a Dew
Dew-Dewy Day?" the kids are of
to the races.
Ginger's eyes sparkle. She is
having lots of fun. Her jaws work
faster and faster on that ever
present cud Of chewing gum as she
taps her toes fmpatiently in the
center of the floor.
Seems to me this is how I used to
do it," she grins at Brooks as the
two try few experimental steps
before swinging in front of the
camera. Meanwhile, Gail Russell, a
beautiful young Santa Monica high
school girl, who could pass for Hedy
Lamar, and her partner, Charlie
tDizzie) Smith, are having their
troubles trying to keep the tempo.
Up to now the Charleston to them
Is merely something the "old folks
used to do on dance floor. But
this is all right with Director Mitch
Leisen. He doesn't want them to
appear too adept.
Retrospective Memories.
The scene begins with Ginger
dancing radiantly with Brooks, who
has taken her to the dance after
quarrelling with his steady" Miss
Russell. Gail, dancing with Charlie,
abondons him for chance to make
up with Brooks, who in turn excuses
himself in the middle of the dance
and then completely forgets to re-
turn to Ginger, who Is heartbroken
In her shapeless white lace, dress
Of the period Ginger stands bafned
and alone In the midst Of the other
silks and taf1etas that 60 swirling
by with their bell-bottomed part
ners. Then she tries desperately to
laugh 1t Oh. The script describes
her reactions as follows: Its q
heartache which changes her life
from that point on"
Winning that contest back in
1926 changed my whole life, too" "
said Ginger. But the results were
70 lot happier"
