Seven Real Rounds
For Fight Film

HOLLYWOOD - Producers
directors Richard Quine and Will
liam Asher let Cameron Mitchell
and Blake Edwards fight seven
full rounds, refereed by Mushy
Callahan, for their picture, -
Winner Take Nothing" at Co.
lumbia, without the usual stops
for closeups, etc.
Five cameras were planted at
strategic points around the ring,
and over it, and ground out the
fight just as 1t took place. This
film was then intercut with the
usual technical scenes of the
fighting, which were broken up
for long, medium, and close shots.
But it is thought that cutting to
actual fight scenes of an almost
documentary order, in which the
boys were not fighting for the
camera, but TO keep one another'S
gloved fists off their jaws, added
greatly to the excitement of the
finished fight scenes
AS vteran fight-goers at local
ring events. Quine and Asher
state their intention not to have
the usual film fight, but some
thing more nearly approximately
what actually takes place in a
ring wehn a couple of profession
ais hammer each other.

Excerpts from London reviews
follows:
Evening News: "It has been
done with sincerity. It's period
settings are faultless. Ann Todd
suggests the awakening of the
prim little widow with great
understanding and Ray Milland
shows that her villainous lover
has charm and a spark of de-
cency. Geral d in Fitzgerald
could hardly improve on hel
study of the unhappy subjected
wife"
Sunday Graphic: '"The film is
so handsomely mounted and sc
expertly made that I think you
ought to go to see it. Ray Mil
land is excellent and Ann Todd
superb"
Evening Standard: "This film
succeeds in gripping and holding
your attention. Ann Todd clearly
shows how good an actress she
can be-"

with tremendous smoothness by
Hal Wallis and directed with
glittering and enviable compet

One.Minute InterUietUs
From HOLLYWOOD

VAN JOHNSON Con the set OF
M-G-M's Command Decision"): !:
when the Ringing Brothers
circus comes to town in August,
I'm going to be part of the show.
Pey, the studio has made ar
rangements, at my reuest, for me
to ride an elephant in the OPEN
ing parade around the Big Top.
I hope to be able to do it every
show that the circus performs
while here. 1t might sound silly
to a lot of people, but it has al
ways been one of my greatest
ambitions to ride an elephant in
a circus. When / was youngs-
ter in Newport, r. l., I used to
promote shows in which all the
neighborhood kids participated
and which usually took place in
nv back yard. We used to rig
up a tent which resembled that
of a circus and the show we put
on included acrobatic stunts,
dances, trained animal acts, ETC.
However, we never had an ele-
phant-a fact which was always
one of the pachyderms at the
a major disappointment to me.
So when l climb on the back OF
big circus it's going to mean the
realization of boyhood dream
BY the way did you know that
elephants are cnsidered the big
gest, the koindliest, the most m-
derstanding and the smartest
animals on earth? / hope the
one that 1 draw in the parade
won't have any objections to a
novice being aboard"

careful spacing between staccato
notes, so often overlooked by more
experienced conductors; the salts
flying exactness of each sound and of
its duration, especially preceding
each rest, explosive efforts, fol-

setting.
Mr.. Mitchell achieved other not

Lovely Thing on Skates.
Oh, gentlemen, what a lovely
thing she was on skates In 1882.
She is magnificent and breath-tak-
ing today, as she was in Madison
Square Garden last night. but you
should, have seen her then, in
1882. The world was her oyster
then, and she was out to open it.
You know, there is one thing that
belongs to true amateur athletes
alone. There's a look in the eye,
spark in the heart that gives
them something that they auto
matically lose when they perform
for money.
It has been my privilege to watch
many champions at work, but 1t has
never been my privilege to see any
thing more lovely, more darling
than the Sonia Henie Of 1882 when
all she was working for was a
medal that you couldn't sell for
more than IS in the open market.
Now she has millions of dollars,
but I believe Miss Henie will agree
with me that her highest moment
as a skater came on that cold day
in Lake Placid.

a result Of pressure by the Spanish

This move by the French govern

the Franco government was Fascist

This request was not accepted, but

The effect upon Mr.. Humans

sharper when, as in the Lands and

Committee without adequate expla-
nation. He has not been able to

does not take their leaders into his
confidence either, and they are in
fact, though they are not going to

heartened.

important to him, though they some
times wonder II he realizes 1t. Their
