That could be because the author is
not sure of his taste in making a
jest of so delicate theme as that
OF a fighter pilot, reported missing,
who turns up suddenly in a fine,
romantic mess. Paramount's ablest
farceurs, Robert Benchley and Cecil
Kellaway, lend valiant assistance to
the principals, but not enough to
make Practically Yours" an un-
alloyed lark.
The basic idea of the Earle's pic
ture is that Miss Colbert and Mac
Murray shall have another go at
that favorite sport of theirs, a spot
of Freudian fencing which ends in
unconditional surrender. AS ideas
go, it is by no means bad one and
we would not want to imply that it
does not have its merry moments on
this occasion.
The romantic chase which pro-
vides the basic plot of Krasna's
farce is done in reverse this time.
Miss Colbert is the pursuer as prob
ably BELTS period in which there
is an acute manpower shortage.
There is a fine suspenseful Sc
quence, amusingly mysterious, to set
Practically Yours" on its way. 1t
opens on a scene in which Navy
bombing plane sights japanese air
craft carrier but has the i'll luck to
be entirely out of bombs at the time.
Fortuitously, however, a fighter
bomber comes along at the time with
MacMurray as it's pilot. He decides
that oo will e,,ioiIo hor,, u tho onoy,r
craft, but before doing so he utters
few dying words which are duly
recorded by the chaps in the other
plane. The only trouble with the
words is that he miraculously does
not die and is subsequently required
to live up tC them.
That is where the fun begins, and
very good fun it would be if sus-
tanned at its starting level. Unfor-
tunately, it bogs down at numerous
points thereafter.
KraSna's sense of the ridiculous
inspires him to numerous refresh
ing inventions along the course of
his story. He is at his best in a
solemn scene near the beginning of
the picture when the presumably
dead pilots last speech is played in
the United States Senate with men,
bers and gallerites standing in trib-
ute to the hero. He is by no means
bad when he tricks up another Sc
quence in which there is a con-
fusion of names between Miss Col
bert and the flyers pet dog. He
makes rather good something also
out Of the flyers inability to sleep
in anything but a sleeping bag, a
passage that is frightened by dia-
logue relating to the same sort of
scene in For Whom the Bell Tolls
These are among the films higher
points and it could be that the fail
ure of the others to hit the same
standard leaves the impression the
picture is not as good as it should
be-

get rested up. SO your guess Is as
good as ours. Anyway, can you
imagine trying to keep the fans out
of theaters when this picture is re-
leased?
Unlike any project ever launched
in Hollywood is a picture called THE
Bells of ST. Mary" just getting
under way at RKO. This film is
being directed by Leo McCarey of
Going My Way" fame and it's top
star is Bing Crosby, also a bit well
known for his work in the same
success. On top of that Ingrid
Bergman, drawing $20O, 900, is play
ing the feminine lead.
Funny part of it all is that RKO,
with a stake of million or more,
doesn't know what the story is about.
Neither does McCarey, the director.
McCarey has written the opening
scenes and plans to proceed with
his writing as it goes along. He
finishes one sequence and then
roams over to piano and sits there
playing softly He thinks about
what's to come while he thumps out
little lullabies.
RKO isn't bit worried. That's
a lot like Going My Way" was
born. McCarey worked it out from
one sequence to another.
RKO is just keeping that piano in
tune-and drooling in anticipation
of a $l0,000,000 gross.

HOLLYWOOD


Lots of people have been want
ing to know exactly what kind Of
role Clark Gable is to play in his
first coming-back picture, This
Strange Adventure" announced a
few weeks ago. 1t was certain that
Gable would not play an Army flyer.
He Immediately put the stop sign
on any attempt to write him into
part wherein he would in any
way parallel his role in the war.
Although the finished script of
This Strange Adventure" is closely
guarded. the grapevine reveals that
Clark plays rough, tough bo's'n's
mate in the United States Merchant
Marine. And no punches pulled,
either In the very first sequence
he shoots man between the eyes
and kills him.
Greer Carson, who will play op-
posite him, is not spared either. He
pushes her around plenty and if
the present script is followed,
Gables abuse of the red haired first
lady Of the MGM lot may inaugu-
rate a renewed trend toward lead
ing men bashing their lady friends
about the scenery-a la the early
Jimmy Cagney days.
This Strange Adventure" was
written especially for Gable and
tailored to his measure by his good
friend, Victor Fleming, who will
also direct. 1t was Fleming who
took over Gone With the Wind
when Gable couldn't see eye -to-eye
with Director George Cukor.
Once one of the easiest going
stars in town, fellow who went
into any picture his bosses handed
over, Gable in 1887 became one of
the most difficult to please on story
matters. That was the year of his
biggest bust-'Parnell.' To this day.
Gable shudders every time any one
mentions the films title. 1t was an
elaborate epic on which MGM
spent more than 81 10000 and in
1t Gable wore a stuff shirt outfit
and makeup that made the fans
laugh. No other single picture ever
came closer to killing of the great
star.
Getting back to This Strange
Adventure" take note of these items
Gable will retrieve the old turtle
neck sweater that launched a craze
10 years ago. and Greer will wear
specs!
No telling yet when the picture
will start. Exhibitors and fans are
screaming for Gable picture. Loew
stockholders are sulking. MGM
has told Gable to take his time and

flair for creating character. He has
done very well with the bland ty-
coon played by Cecil Kellaway, has
turned off a neat caricature in q
Would-be male animal imperSon-
ated by Gil Lamb, and was think
ing amsusingly when he decided
that Benchley would be funny sort
to represent justice of the United
States Supreme Court.
The same resourcefulness was not
apparent in his imagining of his
principals. Throughout their run
ming romantic duel, neither the hero
nor heroine are ever able to make
you believe you have not seen pre-
cisely the same thing before. And
on numerous occasions. That, too,
despite MacMurray's obvious skill
as wolf who has learned all the
tricks of parrying the responsibility
which women are prone to impose
upon his type, and of Miss Colbert
as female who can make a comedy
art of stalking an attractive quarry.
Paramount has given luxurious
looking production to the new farce,
that rich appearance without which
cinema romance would not look
like itself.
