Miss Hayworth herself was in
clined to be coy about it. A few
hours earlier she had said, Il hope
it's so, and then permitted a studio
spokesman to announce confirma-
ton.
Mr. Welles was reported en- route
to Washington before the announce
ment was made.
Miss Hayworth, "a, born Mar

Budapest Quartet
Hits New Heights
In Library Concert
By ELENA DE SAYN,

1t was a pleasure to note in last
nights performance of the Budapest
Quartet at the Library of Congress
that. no matter how perfect the
playing of the group might have
been in the past, it still strives to
outdo its previous performances and
ascend to greater heights.
Comparing their former presenta-
tions of Beethoven's cycle with the
evening of Beethoven's works yes
terday, it seems the artists have
acquired a new objective and zest
greater pliability and warmth OF
tone and have stretched their
dynamics to the most coveted effects
of all: A mere breath of sound

A Hat Gets in the Way

There's a scene in this flicker
where Claudette Colbert sings a
bottle of champagne over a ship and
launches it. Director Leisen hao
instructed that several bottles OF
the beverage be on hand, just in
case Claudette misses.
On the first take, Claudette
doesn't miss, but the splash from
the broken bottle is disappointing
Leisen turns to the prop man and
says, Better skip the California
champagne and get us Mumm's '29. >
The prop man is back in a mo-
ment with magnificent bottle
wrapped in ribbons. Claudette steps
back, the camera rolls, she takes
proper aim, smashes the bottle and
| it splashes satisfactorily over the
assembled players. Leisen glows
with satisfaction.
See what mean?" he says. THE
best is none too good"
The prop man is talking to Fred
MacMurray, who starts to laugh
Whats the matter, Fred?" asks
Claudette.
Nothing" said Fred, except that
you used bottle of fiat beer. Don'I
tell Leisen-it pops better"
Leisen has overheard them. He
shakes his head gravely. "Mumm's
90 would have made bette,
splash" he mutters.

Theater's screen yesterday. just
how close the adaptation is to the
original play of the same title, we
don't know. That was Is years age
and we were doing something else
when A. H. Woods produced it al
the height of his career as Broad
ways outstanding sponsor of bed
room farce. We doubt. however
that the dizzy old thing could have
been populated with so many women
playing bad variations on the atti-
tude which is now known as Ilka
Chase.
BY way of compensation for the
bogus sophistication on the screen,
however, Gene Ford has put to-
gether a much more dramatic and
varied stage show which comes to
q trapeze act finish that will curl
your hair. AS matter of fact, one
slip on the part of the female
daredevil, and it would not make
any difference about either her
hair, or yours.
The f1imsy plot of up in Mabers
Room" turns on rather typical
prop of bedroom farce back in the
days of Producer Woods, namely, a
woman's slip. The slip, it seems,
was given by former playboy

waspish wench Gail Patrick. The
playboy subsequently marries an
other lovely wasp type and the
shadow of the slip is always dark

never will believe is that people of
such pretentions to -sophistication

laughed the slip right off (Which is
very bad pun, but still better than
those in the Capitols picture).

Complications set in on Having
Wonderful Crime" at RKO-a
whole morning full of them. And
all because of Carole Lands big
hat. AS we arrive, Carole is getting
ready to shoot Pat O'Brien. Pat
isn't the criminal He's a sleuthine
attorney and Carole shoots him by
mistake.
This is what happens" explains
Director Edward Sutherland, gath
ering his cast around for a fatherly
conference. "Carole, you stand be-
hind the desk and rest the gun on
the carriage of the typewriter
You're supposed to be aiming at
Dewey Robinson. Your hat falls
over your eyes. Your hand hits the
carriage release. The carriage jerks
and the gun goes off, hitting
Pat"
"Is that alp" says Carole. She
tries it. But her big black hat re-
fuses to fall over her forehead
Everything stops while a black
thread is tied to the hat brim and
given to a grip on the catwalk over
the set. He gives the thread tug
and the hat flies of.
PLAY it like a fish, suggests
|Carole. "You know-gently." She
tries it again. This time the gun
refuses to go off.
Lets not rehearse it any more" "
says Carole, after two hours of
tinkering. I'm getting nervous.
The camera rolls. She puts the
gun on the typewriter The grip
upstairs pulls the thread. The hat
drops over her eyes. The carriage
release trips. The gun explodes and
off scene, well out of camera range,
O'Brien lets out howl.
"All right?" asks Carole.
"Wonderful,' says Sutherland
only you shot the wrong man"
He holds up his arm. The wadding
from the blank cartridge has burned
a hole in his sleeve. 4'" ~Sa Sf'Ao9'
When they launch ship in a
movie, it's got to be done in real
style. No phony giggle water to
take the place of champagne or any
thing like that. At least that's the
credo of Director Mitch Leisen, who
is making Practically Yours" at
Paramount.
