Sinatra's Wide
Interests Keep
Big Staff Busy

HOLLYWOOD - Frank Sina-
ira has such varied and, numer-
Gus interests that it takes full
sized staff going full-blast seven
days week to keep up accounts
on his projects.

films, Anchors Aweigh," Till

in new Technicolor musical,

In which, for the first time in
his screen career, he wins the
girl Kathryn Grayson) for the
final clinch.
They Know "The Voice"
On the radio, Sinatra's voice
is so familiar most listeners rec.
ognize it even if he is just hum
ming instead of singing. Sina-
tra's recordings have sold into
the millions and a sure way to
insure the success of a new song
is to have him record it. And
he has not confined his perform.
ances on records to singing.
Recently he conducted the Co
lumbia Symphony Orchestra in
a recording performance of new
and serious music by Alex Will
der.
"A very commendable per-
formance, too," said a company
executive.
There are several large.scale
projects in which Sinatra has an
interest.
Plans Big Garden"
He has plans ready for a gi-
gantic indoor sports stadium,
Hollywood Square Garden, in
the heart of the movie colony,
modelled after New York's famed
Madison Square Garden. He
also has an interest in several
minor league prize fighters, and
is talking about becoming fight
promoter.

Plays Phonograph Salesman
In "The Emperor Waltz" Bing
plays an American phonograph
salesman in Vienna in 1901
Whose love affair with q
countess rocks the Austrian
capital and a considerable por-
ton of the Tyrol.
Bing's six songs are worked
logically into the action, and ne
plays his role straight. This is
no operetta and no fantasy, but
a real romance played against
the gay background of turn-of-
the-Century Vienna. Yet it is
comedy and, lest you think the
more familiar Crosby will be
lost in the guise of Crosby, the
lover, be assuerd that this is the
real Bing. He takes a verbal
beating, for example, in some o1
Brackett-W Wilder dialogue
spoken by gossipy females of the
Vienmese nobility.
On the occasion of Bing's first
entrance, at a huge ball taking
place in Emperor Franz Josef
palace, one of the grand ladies

hut with effervescent Brazilian
comedienne playing alongside
him not even Harpo and Chico
can be missed. Groucho and
Carmen seem made for each
other - automatically speaking.
~. This highly diverting extrava-
MA was produced by sam
Coslow, who used as his prln-
ciple locale the famous Copaca-
bana nitery in New York run
by the equally famous Monte
Proser. The lush decor of the
Copacabana has been repro
duced with unerring exactitude,
and in one amusing scene the
audience can see such nationally
known night-spot reporters as
Earl Wilson, Abel Green and
Louis Sobol at ringside tables,
PLAYING their own real-life roles,
The gorgeous Copa Girls are
very much in evidence, too,
adding plenty of oomph to the
highly varied and colorful song
and dance numbers.
You might call Groucho's role
a straight one. He portrays the
ambitious, n o t-to-be-d w n e q
S1gent of the vivacious Carmen,
getting her booked into the eX-
elusive Copacabana in a dual
role, that of a Brazilian Bomb
she'll, in which she naturally
PLAYS herself, and also as Made
moiselle Fiji, the devastating
French chanteuse. For the lat
ter, Carmen dons blonde wig
and wears a wisp of chiffon
over her face with only her ex-
pressive eyes revealed.
Sharing stellar honors with
them are Andy. Russell, the
likeable young radio singer who
has his legion of fans swooning
whether he croons alone or with
Carmen Miranda; Steve Co
chran, who plays the prototype
of Monte Proser in the film, and
lovely Gloria Jean, former child
star.
~ Also to be seen in this vastly
Entertaining musical are the
popular Latin-American rhumba
dancers Raul and Eva Reyes,
the three Cuban De Castro SIS
sters, who have sung in many
leading New York bistros, and
Russo De Pandeiro, who makes
with the tambourine.
Producer Sam oCSlow can
take bows for many of the tan
talizing song numbers, which in

Russia Is Believed Near
Decision on PROPOSAL

MOSCOW, June 81. R-The
Soviet government was believed near
a decision today on whether to send
a representative to a conference on
Secretary of State Marshall's plan
for European recovery.
Foreign diplomatic sources said
they still believed there was good
reason to hope the Russians would
be represented at three-cornered
talks with the British and French
The only official word from the
U. S. S. r., however, was that the
Russians were considering" the
Marshall plan following British and
French invitations to a conference
There was no indication that the
time of such a meeting or who
might represent the Soviet Union
had been decided.

Foreign Minister Molotov would at
