Actors To Eat Less
On Movie Stages

HOLLYWOOD - In line with
the governments food conseva-
ton program, Columbia is no
longer using real foodstuff in its
pictures except where the scene
actually calls for the food to be
eaten.
First film to use plastic or
plaster food throughout is the
Technicolor drama, "The Loves
of Carmen" starring Rita Hay
worth and Glenn Ford. In the
gypsy cantina sequence, plastic
sausage and cheese and plaster
replicas of roast fowl will be
used and only a single turkey
drumstick, which Miss Hayworth
eats, will be real.
Similarly, foodstuff photog-
raphed in a medieval French
banquet scene for the Cinecolor
picture, "The Gallant Blade, ="
are entirely artificial except for
that food which Larry Parks.
Marguerite Chapman and other
cast members consume during
close-upS.

Pre-War NeWsreel
Technique Used
In EEAffair'' Filming

HOLLYWOOD-Charles Lang,
ace cameraman, tacgle one of his
toughest jobs recently. He had
to make a scene in Paramount's
"A Foreign Affair" look bad.
The scene depicts Marlene Die
trich in Berlin opera house,
surrounded by Hitler, Goebbels,
Hess, Goering and other Nazi
bikWigs, and will be used as a
.neWsreel insert in this romantic
comedy which also stars Jean
Arthur and John Lund. AS such,
the photography must simulate
the jerky, stark pre-war news
reel technique.
Lang solved the problem by
doing exactly the opposite of
what he would normally do. Dur
ing the filming, he avoided all
highlight0s and diffusion, threw
in plenty of harsh front light.
Lenses which would give a pen
etrating even grainy, effet were
substituted. And, as final flip,
he ordered 0the film which is
presumably at night developed as
though it were photographed in
daytime.
He hopes it will turn out so
badly that it will be good.

"They handed me a pair of

who has been leaping out of
bed between one and two o'clock
in the morning recently to go
on impromptu raccoon hunts in
his own back yard, thinks he
has finally reached a solution to

and eat goldfish out of our lily
ponds" the actor explained on
the Columbia set where he's
starring in "The Gallant Blade. !"
At first Larry and his neighbor
put out a wooden box trap. The
trap worked fine, Larry declared
except that the raccoons chewed
their way to freedom.
"Now w've put in a heavy
lined trap" the actor said,
"and havealready caught four
raccoons. We've given three of
them to friends for pets. You
know they make very good
pets"
