Seen On A Hollywood
Movie Set

HOLLYWOOD - Audrey
Totter, besides acting the
most difficult role of her
career in Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayors Lady In The
Lake" is finding that she
must be an acrobat of sorts,
too.
The unusual technique
being employed in filming
of this picture, with the
story being seen through
eyes of the leading char
acter, Robert Montgomery,
means that the camera must
move about the scene just
as Montgomery would do.
Thus Audrey, after speak
ing a line, must go through
a series of gyrations in order
to duck out of the cameras
path.
This is a scene in a small
kitchen. AS a sliding panel
rises to allow the camera to
move into the hall, Audrey
must drop flat on her
stomach.
After four attempts TO
film the difficult scene
Audrey rises from the floor
and wipes the dust from her
dress.
Good training in case
there's another war and /
have to duck atom bombs"
she said ruefully.

tertainment values will stay

WTht Dark Corner" tells the
thrill-packed story of a hard
boiled but romantic private de-
tective whose love for a girl,
and whose very life, is clouded
by an unseen terror with which
he can't come to grips. 1t is also
the story of the girl, his flip and
wi s e-cracking secretary, who
fights for the right to face thi,
threat with him.
But it is outside their own

ing their ultimate destiny. For
it is in this other world of gilt
ter and sophistication that q
suave art connoisseur, grippeo
by a strange obsession, has sci
into motion the plot that draws
them into one of the strangest
adventures ever unfolded on the
screen. Suspense mounts to an
almost unbearable pitch as the
iAkRnsely absorbing drama moves
tly on to its electrifying
cfffhaX.
Lucille Ball is nothing short
of terrific as the glamorous
wise-cracking but very helpful
secretary. Clifton Webb is the
debonnaire and sophisticated art
dealer. matching his Laura
triumph with still another char
acteristically outstanding por.
trayal. In an utterly different
role for him--a straight dra.

scores high as the sinister and
stubborn gunman. But special
kudos must be reserved for
screen newcomer Mark Stevens

hard-boiled, hard-pressed pri.

Stevens is bound for top film

LOOk-Alikes Not
Wanted In Films

HOLLYWOOD - Lookalikes
are seldom welcomed in Holly
wood, where close resemblance
to an established star is no asset.
Studios spend millions build
ing stars of distinctive PERSONAL
ties and appearances, and it is
not overstatemet to say that film
companies frown on any in
fringement, intetioal or other
wise.
An illustration lies in the un-
fortunate experience of Patric
Knowles. 1t was his resemblance
to Enrol Flynn that brought Pat
to Hollywood in 1886, to play
Flynn's brother in THE Charge
of the Light Brigade" after he
had made his bow on the Lon
don stage and had appeared in
British pictures for two years.
His second American film
Robin Hood" cast Knowles in
another secondary role with
Flynn and throughout the life OF
his Warner Brothers contract
Knowles was relegated to second
leads and "other man" parts, SC
that he would not constitute a
threat to the studios Number
One male propery.
Only now, seven years after
he came to Hollywood, is
Knowles hitting his stride as a
leading man. His first role under
a Paramount contract was as the
"other man" in Kitty" but il
was followed by the romantic
lead opposite Dorothy Lamour in
Masquerade in Mexico" and an
other opposite Marjorie Reynolds
in Monster Beaucaire," with
Bob Hope.
espite his experience
Knowles bears no rancor toward
Flynn. On the contrary, they
are close pals.
Few look-alikes can be found
anywhere on studio rosters, al
though there are exceptions
Warren Williams resemblance to
the late John Barrymore, for ex-
ample, is held responsible for
Williams delayed success In
films.
When Gail Russell started ir
pictures she was known as the
"Hedy Lamar of Santa Monica
because she resembles the bru-
nette star, and there are those
who say that both of them could
pass as sisters of Joan Bennett
Resemblance occasionally is
responsible for certain catings
as in June Haver's assignment
with Betty Cradle in THE Dolly
Sisters" More often, however,
Ilook-alikes are kept apart. Thus
Mary Martin was never cast with
Claudette Colbert, Myrna 10y
hasc done no pictures with Ruth
Hussey, and Virginia Welles, the
Paramount find" of Ladies
Man." undoubtedly will never
