Give the servicemen first chance
at war equipment when they come
home so they may use it in civilian
life if it will be useful to them, was
the trend of a resolution passed BY

tractors, truck, and all such equip
ment will have served their pur-
poses after the war and should be
used By the men who drove them
in the war instead of being 'junked'

Eleven and a half million dollars
amt hay, even in Hollywood.
And when one gentleman gees
out and spends that much money
on four motion pictures and is due
to get it all back on the profits of
just one, it's something to remem-
ber to tell his grandchildren
about.
Of course. Buddy DeSylva will
have lot of other things to tell
them. About diving for pennies at
Catalina Island to help pay his way
through school in Azusa, Calf.
About all those hit songs like
Avalon" and April Showers"
which he wrote when he was the
king of Tin Pan Alley. And about
how he had three hit shows on
Broadway in one Panama
Hattie" "DuBarry Was Lady
and "Louisiana Purchase"
But spending sll,50O,00o on four
pictures - For Whom the Bell
Tolls" Lady in the Dark" 1.-The
Hitler Gang" and "Frenchman' s
Creek"-as executive producer at
Paramount studio undoubtedly will
give Buddy DeSylva the most vivid
memories in his dotage.
AS a matter of fact, when an ex-
song writer spends money like that
it's something to talk about now
as well as sometimes to remember.
Which is why we dropped in on
Buddy-George Gard DeSylva to
be formal-in his office at Para
mount today.
But" Buddy beamed. we're
getting back that S11 100000 on the
profits of one picture alcne. And
brother, I'm sleeping lot easier.
The picture already set to pay for
the whole works is For Whom thu
Bell Tolls" which, DeSylva figures
will bring Paramount neat II CT
| 13 million dollars, maybe more.
Lady in the Dark" just released
will earn maybe five million
'Frenchman's Creek" and "Tht
Hitler Gang" still in the cutting
rooms, are expected to haul in an.
other five million apiece, maybe
more.
