Leatrice Joy Cast

HOLLYWOOD-Leatrice JOY,
one of the brightest stars of ST.

comeback after an 18-year re-

in Columbia's "Air Hostess"
which Wallace Macdonald pro-

She plays the role of a high
powered executive of a school
that trains air hostesses to serve
on the big passenger air lines.
Miss Joy, who starred in many
of Cecil B. DeMille's spectacular
productions, such as "The Ten
Commandments" and Man

William Holden, Macdonald
Carey and William Bendix in
Paramount's Technicolor west
ern, 'The Streets of Laredo.
Her first real adult" role
finds Mona portraying a two
gun. cowgirl of the Old West.
The role is a radical departure
from the adolescent characteri-
cations she has become accus-
toned to playing, but paradox
ically, it was these selfsame a
dolescent roles which finally
convinced studio heads and leg,
ions of movie fans that the
former teenage model possessed
unusual acting ability.
Street of Laredo" will be
Mona's tenth picture since being
signed to a film contract in 1910
by Howard Hughes. She was
signed sight unseen and then
kept unseen for two years, dur
ing which time she continued
modelling but made no pictures.
What looked like her first
real break came in 1943 when
she was tested by Paramount
for the role of Barbara STAN
wyck's step-daughter in Double
Indemnity. The test unusued
contract from Hughes, but un-
fortunately she photographed
like a child of twelve and had
to be replaced in the picture.
This peculiar photogenic Aua-
lity, however, stood her in good
stead while she studied dramatic
coaches and ultimately earned
for her a succession of roles
which eliminated with her
popular and clever portrayal as
Miriam in Dear Ruth.

Thanksgiving Radio Treat

The Thanksgiving special
O'Brien in 'The Screaming Won
EST)-a chiller which offers a
of terror used so successfully b
on this unusual series.
In contrast with many other
radio mysteries-which bewilder
listeners with complex maze of
characters and clues-the typi-
cal Suspense" play consists of
a single dramatic situation built
up to an excruciating pitch of
suspense. This one Is hand
tailored to exploit the excep-
tional emotional range OF its
child star.
The play gets off to an electri-
flying start as Margaret O'Brien
skipping across a vacant lot on
Thanksgiving morning - hears
the muffled screams of a woman
coming from beneath huge
tOunQ OF IreSn eaTIn,
Terrified, the girl races home
to tell her parents about the
screaming woman in the vacant
lot-but they dismiss her hyster-
ical tale as child's make
believe and insist that she sit
right down and eat her Thanks
giving dinner.
Tensio mounts from this mo-
ment on, reaching a dramatic
climax in the closing pninute Of
the play.
An original musical score by
Lucien Moraweck contributes to
the growing mood of terror and
suspense.
