Actors Strike

deadlock between the Screen Actors

The actors, among other demands,
want their own television rights
and some form of payment on re-
issues of their old films. The pro-
ducers, thus far, have refused even
to negotiate.
Enroll Flynn is in magnificent
stride again. Which means he has
renewed his feuding and fighting
with the Brothers Warner. Enrol
tried to be good boy and get per-
mission to go to New York and then
to roam the seas again for six
months. II tried to see those char
acterS and they ducked me like I
was a poor relation" Enrol told me.
SO now you can tell them for me
that Nora Chis wife) and I are off

Ingrid Bergman had a long con-
versation with Charles Bower on
their way back to Hollywood after

Mrs. Gregory Peck explains why
she was hysterical after her recent

A Familiar Role
For BOnanOva
HOLLYWOOD,

w
A peculiar thing about the cast
in Warner Bros Adventures of
Don Juan" is that one of the fea-
tured players, Fortunio Bonanova,
portrayed the title role long before
Enrol Flynn, hero of the Warner
epic; and will go on portraying It
long after Mr.. Flynn has proceeded
to other startling cinematic adven-
lures.
Preceding the late John Barry
more's energetic Interpretation of
the role for another Warner Don
Juan" some 20 years ago, just prior
to the advent of sound, Bonanova
was the dashing hero of French
version of the famous story. He
was about 10 years old at the time,
and he says that the French BE
(before censorship version was ex-
ceedingly torrid.
After completing his role in the
new Warner Don Juan" Che por-
trays fencing master in the Royal
Court OF SPAIN, BonanOva is sched-
uled to leave Hollywood, and go to
Rome, Italy, where for the Escalera
Studio he will sing the title role in
an operate screen version of Mo-
zart's Don Giovanni" In English
it means Don Juan"

that he has had surprising amount
Of pleasure.
j. Arthur Ranks man Sydney Box,
who produced Holiday Camp" had
no intention of producing a MASTER
piece, or anything within miles of
one. He chose rather to make an
unpretentious little picture with
slews of pretty English girls in shorts
and skimpy bathing suits, and hand
some males similiary dressed.
He shows the human race irving
10 have good time on its summer
holiday. 1t is honest, funny, inno-
cent, pathetic, and quite close to
being the human comedy of 1e4S.
**&
Holiday Camp" is set In one of
those mass production recreation
centers where humans with not very
much money decide to swarm. They
huddle in little structures ironically
called "chalets," and their every
waking hour is mercilessly at the
disposal of camp directors who re-
sort to physical force to see that
every one has a good time. A loud
speaker is perpetually summoning
them to drop whatever they are
doing-swimming, dancing, commu-
nifty singing, flirting-and rush to
some other equally feverish activity.
1t is all a lot funnier than it
sounds, and it is done with affection
instead of satire.
Producer Box is quite a smart man
in that respect.
Literally every one in the English
middle class gets his photograph
taken for this dramatic album.
There is the beautiful, quite poor,
war widow whose family brings her
to camp hoping that she will spy
proper husband among the swarm
Of marriage minded young males.
The cheap small-time gamblers are
there looking for ready-made VIC
tins.
SO Is the passionately-in- love
young couple with the terrible prob
lem of finding way to get married,
in time, on no money at all. Others
include the funny predatory spin
ster, the pretty girl with an eye on
all eligible men, the philoSophic bus
driver and his loving, Sharp-tongued
wife. the heart broken sailor and
everybody else.
The stories Of this amusing mis-
cellany of humans are woven into
the panoramic movement of "Holi-
day Camp" They are tossed at the
audience in fragments for the OBJ
vious reason that there is no other
way Of doing it. This is what it is
like at such places. Everybody is
always milling about and the spec
tator, lost in the swarm, ends up
with only a glimpse of dozens Of
unrelated incidents.
Kenneth Annakin's direction in
vests these detached passages with
an oddly curious drama.
He gets surprising amount into
the beauty contest which is won by
the pretty widow who thought so
little of her chances that she liter
