Hedy Lamar
For Comedy
By SheiIoh Grohom

Hedy Lamar has signed to co-star
with Robert Cummings in Lets
Live a Little" comedy, for Bob's
own company, United California
Productions. The movie starts In
a week or so.
Donald OConnor and his wife
Gwen will be teamed In Don's next
movie, "Traditionally Yours" for
Universal international. Don plays
a crooner who is loved by women
and hated by men, and the story
sounds hilarious. I'm glad that
Don's studio now realizes he can
carry q picture by himself. They
were overcautious as to his ability
for long time.
Olivia de Davilland and husband
Marcus Goodrich have slipped
quietly out of Hollywood for New
York, where Livvy will offer high
price for a certain successful novel.
can't mention the title or the price
will go sky-high!
Jack Carson Is bedded with near
pneumonia. Jack told me while we
were floating down Santa Claus lane
the other night that he had tenn
perature of 1902! He should have
stayed home but he didn't want to
disappoint his fans q. Jack Benny
was another sick character In the
parade. I wonder how many of the
thousands who saw him sitting with
Santa Claus realized that Jack was
mighty unhappy, with a severe cold
In his chest.
Natalie Wood. the child actress,
will play the important girls role in
"Babylon Revisited" from the F.
Scott Fitzgerald novel. I understand
that George Cukor is interested in
directing this story.
Rita Hayworth is fascinated by
the offer from Enterprise of $500, 900
to borrow her from Columbia for the
role of Desiree in Proud Destiny"
Or they will pay the same amount
to get her for Pursuit of Love" to
be co-starred with Charles Boyer
Ann Blyth tells me that the tall
she wears in Mr. Peabody and the
Mermaid,' has so pounds OF buck
shot in originally, to keep 1t under
water. But it was too light and
AIMS head and shoulders sank be-
low the surface while her mermaid S
tail stuck up in the air!
Laraine Day and Gregory Peck
we're offered $4,000 for two weeks
with their Angel Street" play In
the New York Civic Center Theater
They regretfully turned 1t down be-
cause each has to start a movie
soon. You can expect to hear any
day now that Laraine has signed
with one of the major studios.

as the Romany princess, Paramount
did not quite trust the story. 1t
bolstered the cast with another
name, that of Quentin Reynolds,
that corpulent forager in the inter-
national news bins. Reynolds role
in Golden Earrings" is that Of the
fortnight reporter who asks the
question that brings the story bum
bling from Milland's lips. .
It might have been better If he
had Just kept his mouth shut.
X X
Golden Earrings" is not straight
romance. 1t has a large dash OF
melodrama, and a still larger one OF
f1ippant comedy as if every one de-
cided now and then its basic tedium
could best be relieved by a kind OF
reckless frivolity. This might arbi-
trarily be classified as variety OF
mood, which is supposed to be help
ful in screen drama, but 1t would
really be too arbitrary.
The story which Mitchell Leisen
directed cannot escape its funda-
mental lassitude, a pace that rarely
exceeds the speed of tired, white
horse which pulls the gypsy wagon.
True, Golden Earrings" init
mates that the courtship methods
OF Miss Dietrich were compulsive to
the point of irresistibility, but
Paramount's picture Is restricted in
how much of this actually can be
shown. In this connection, a degree
of interest does attach to the revela-
ton that women do the courting in
the world of gypsies. And it is not
uninteresting that it has such other
items Of gypsy lore that II you
knock out another gypsy's tooth
that makes him your brother, and
that the easiest way to cross river
safely is to spit in 1t three times.

The title of the Capitol's exhibit
refers to the effect upon Gen. Den
istoun (Milland Of having allowed
Gypsy Lydia (Miss DietrichD to
pierce his ears and attach pair OF
earrings. At the time, he was a
British spy in Germany and he
donned the earrings with the
thought that they were merely a
final item in the gypsy disguise she
created for him. Little did he know
the power of gypsy symbols for 1t
turns out that he not only has mar
ried princess of the Romany blood,
but has also become one of the tribe.
Against the earrings power, plus
that of Marlene naturally, centuries
Of English tradition avail him
nothing.

brilliant war, but in the end, he goes
back to Lydia and the oldest love
that ever captivated heretofore
stuffy English Army officer.
Germany is the scene Of Golden
Earrings" and against the serene
and lovely back country atmosphere
of the gypsy tribe, the stars Of the
picture try nightly to give 1t life.
Miss Dietrich, shabbily dressed and
with unkempt hair, finds quite a
dramatic contrast in her moments
of intense passion for Milland and
others In which she scales fish in
their bed and eats mulligan stew
with her pretty fingers.
She gives the impression Of being
both excited and happy to find her
self a world removed from glamour,
sophistication and the other tawdry
trinkets of civilization.
Milland as the reluctant lover who
is gradually drawn into the strange
garlicky world Of the rovers also
manages to give Golden Earrings"
few special moments.
Both stars, and their audiences,
however, are compelled to face the
fact that most of the action Of the
picture takes place in and around
that gypsy wagon which moves at a
snail's pace-reel after reel
through the German back country.

that item. His style is good for a

Lander and Holland, the dancers;

Diocesan Board
 Asks Truman To Veto Taft Bill
Catholic Group Contends Measure Contradictory
 To American Ideals

The executive board of the Dioces- an Labor Institute of the Diocese of Hartford today made public a letter sent to President Truman requesting that he veto the Taft-Hartley Bill The letter was made public by Rev. Joseph F. Donnelly, Director of the Institute.
 The letter says in part:
 ''It is our considered opinion that the answer of the Eightieth Con- gress to our serious and urgent problems of industrial relations is inadequate, immature and biased, and that it will give rise to greater problems than those which it at- tempts to solve.
 NEED MORE UNIONS
 Certainly it is the common opinion of the American people that some ad- justments are needed in the laws which govern industrial relations. Rusting aud creaking joints in the machinery need lubricating and some sections are obviously in need of re- designing.
 However, it is equally certain that it is the opinion of the vast majority of the American people that the pro- cesses of collective bargaining which during the past generation have de- veloped effective and direly-needed protection for the economic rights of millions of Americans should not be weakened or destroyed.
 'We do not need fewer and weaker unions; we need more effec- tive and enlightened unions which will bring to those millions of Americans whose rights are now abused the protection of this colIec- tive security now sanctioned by the law of the land.
 We do not agree with the claims of the labor organizations that this bill will ens1ave labor and destroy the labor movement. That the American people will not permit.
 We do agree with the opinion ex- pressed by members of the Senate Committee that organized abor did a NAooNA NANN lO llo OWlA NduoC dllu lO lllC public welfare when months ago one after another the spokesmen for labor came before the Committee to pro- test that all was we'll on the indus trial relations scene and that no ad- juStment was needed in the laws.
 "They knew better, they were we'll equipped to outline needed reforms, and at that time they could have given a notable service to their cotntry's welfare. However. the neglect of this responsibility by the spokesmen of la bor in no degree mitigated the culpa- bility of those biased or uniformed individuals who have so unwisely made it necessary for you to sanction socially destructive legislation in order to effect few needed reforms.
 "SHAM PROTECTION"

A VERY SHORT TIME
 elf President Truman vetOes the bill" the statement said, ''there will be only a very short interval be- tween the time he sends it back to Congress and the time Congress acts on it. For this reason, it is im- perative that these telegrams be ready now, so that they may be sent the minute the Presidents decision is made known.
 "We do not think it is necessary to belabor the need for this action. The building trades will be hard hit if this vicious measure should become law. If there ever was a time when we needed prompt and united action, this is it."
 COUNCIL MEETS
 The statement by Barry and O'Kane was based on the quarterly meeting of the Building Trades Coun- Gil, held last Wednesday at the New Haven Labor Temple The major part of the meeting was taken up with planning ways and means of unifying the state building trades into a strong ly knit, cohesive organization. It was pointed out that several cities are now ready to proceed with the organiza- tion of building trades councils, which shows that there is much room for increased activity.
 The need to eliminate all juris- dictiOnal disputes, on which the executive board is working, was also on the agenda. Joseph Grimes, Bridgeport Sheet Metal Workers, proposed that Board of Trades be set up in each locality to handle disputes on local basis as far as possible.
 GEL. SUPPORT
 Joseph M. Rourke, secretary-treas- urer of the Conn. Federation of La Dor, spoke at the meeting, and review ed the last session of the Conn. Legis- lature. He offered the full assistance of the State Federation in helping the Building Trades solve their numerous problems.
 O'Kane reported that the Build ing Trades cards are now on hand, and pointed out that the use of these cards will be of invaluable aid. He requested that locals place their orders now for the third quar- ter beginning July l.
