HOLLYWOOD.

Behind movie headlines:
Approximately $5,000,000 is in
vested by three different companies
in three Ingrid Bergman features
which are awaiting release and the
big problem is to space them out so
the market won't be glutted with
Bergman material.
The films are "spellbound," which
she made at her home studio (Selz-
nick) more than year ago; Sara
toga Trunk" done for Warmers two
years ago, and THE Bells of st.
Mary's," recently finished for Leo
McCarey.
Fortunately the three Bergman
performances are different enough
to keep her out of type rut. In
"Spellbound" she's doctor, in
Saratoga Trunk" an 1880 siren, and
in THE Bells" nun.
A line of gorgeous chorus girls is
difficult problem to handle. You
can take that from Jack Donahue,
dance director at MGM, who has
prepared 13 numbers for 1.-TWO Sis
ters From Boston"
Asked how he managed to place
the chorines SO that no single girl
would command too much attention
Donahue said, I've given up worry
ing about that. In all my dances I
arrange the numbers so that the
line is broken up and the positions
change constantly. That way, no
one is in the center all the time
THE chorus line is an old stage
custom, but if YOU will notice, the
movies are slowly drawing away
from it. Most routines in film break
up frequently and form patterns.
Lots of movement That's the best
way to keep the customers-andt the
chorus girls-happy"
