casts as the theater at La Jolla,
Calf. That's the one operated by
David o. Selznick's stable of stars,
and, as producers, these performers
are able to assign themselves at a
mere fraction of their usual pay.
The result Is such casts as that
which will appear next week in the
La Jolla revival of S. N. Behrman's
Serena Blandish." The players in
this group will include Jennifer
Jones, Constance Collier, Louis Jour-
dan, Christian Kelleen, Mildred
Natwick, Reginald Owen, and Sig
Ruman. Leo G. Carroll will act as
director of the production.
Miss Collier will be playing the
Countess in the Behrman play, a
role she created more than a score
of years ago on Broadway under
the direction of Jed Harris.
The memo urbanely announces
that there will be an extra matinee
of "Serana Blandish."
With such cast, why not?

They should have been very happy
and future Patchwork productions
may well be the better for the pill

Powell Skeptical
That Vocalists
Can Be Tough
By SheiIoh Grohom

Betty Hutton, dining with the man
she loves, Ted Briskin, at Chasen's,
tells me that when she returns from
her London Palladium engagement
at the beginning of october, she
starts work right away in "Ill Never
Love Again at Paramount. This
will be Betty's first movie since the
birth Of her second baby. John
Lund Is her co-star and Mitch Lei
sen directs.
June Allyson wants Hubby Dick
Powell to sing in his pictures. Dick
says, You can't be tough guy and
sing" I wonder If he is right.
Dicks opening day of personal ap-
pearances at the Capitol in New
York, incidentally, is also the third
anniversary of his marriage to June.
Betty Cradle is now at Del Mar
with her horses. But before she
left, Betty spent two most grueling
days at 20th-Fox, doing publicity
stills. She made So color shots in
one day alone, with five covers in
color for fan magazines! You've
got to hand it to Betty-when she
works she really works. I hear great
things about her latest picture,

Madeleine CAROLS mate, Henri
Lavorel, is now in France finishing
up their short, THE Eternal Fight.

tells me it's about the eternal fight
against epidemics. She's in the
/ business of making shorts, too. MY
husband will meet me in New
York." says Miss Carroll, when she
goes there to star in Goodbye, My
Fancy"
Elizabeth Taylor's mother is in
dignant at reports linking her
daughter with this and that man
and that restaurant. IT think it's
a shame that to get publicity for
their restaurants they use my
daughters name with men she
doesn't even know" That's what I
think, too.
Director Andrew (Bundy) Marion
and his wife expect their first baby

series of stories, this one will have
an ending.
Come January, which is booked
for right after December, the series
of trial separations will have proved
SO successful that the separates
will make it permanent. Miss Sher-

neither she nor the studio has said
a word about renewal. 1t is 1000
to l bet that they never will.
Miss Sheridan turned down her
last two picture offers from War

They may give her a chance to turn
down two more before January, a
right the contract gives them.
Or, they may just choose to let
1t drift. Thus does time. and the

for its effective handling of the
Communist rebellion.
It Is pointed out that the general
uprising and strike, which Com
munist Leader Musso called over
Radio Madden, failed to material
ize. Premier Hattas decisive action
apparently has gone a long way to
show that his government is not q
mere facade for communism as has
been charged by some Dutch.
Diplomatic Action Seen.
But it is. still whispered in Ba-
tavia circles that the Communist
insurrection was q staged affair to
impress outsiders and actually re-
suited in few casualties and little
serious fighting.
One question being raised now Is
whether the United States will tend
to support the anti Communist
Nationalist movement of Hatta In
an area so rich in oil, rubber, tin
and copra.
The, way appears open to two
kinds of diplomatic action.
The first is that the United Ma
tions Good Offices Committee may
report failure to bring the Dutch
and nationalists together to the
U. N. Security Council and await
Its action. Meanwhile some individ-
ual nations might take steps, such
as recognizing the republic.
The second possibility-which ap-
pears more nkely-is that negotia-
tions might be resumed within the
framework of the Good Onces Com
mittee on a basis Of new concessions
agreed to beforehand and infor-
mally.

dates of West Indies cruises by
Cunard White Star and Holland
America Line ships were announced
last week.
The first two cruises on the Hol-
land America Line schedule will be
holiday trips over Christmas and
New Years, led by the Veendam.
This ship is due to depart on De-
cember 16 for an 18-day voyage to
Cap Haitien, La Guaira, Curacao,
Kingston and Havana. The Nieuw
Amsterdam will pull out on Decem-
ber 81 for l3-days to the same ports,
except for the substitution of San
Juan for Cap Haitien.
On January 5, both ships will leave
again-the Veendam for a six-day
trip to Bermuda, and the Nieuw
Amsterdam on a repeat l3-day
cruise, using the same ports as on
the previous trip.
Three identical 18-day jaunts will
be made by the Nieuw Amsterdam
on January 81, February II and
March 4. The itinerary is Cap
Haitien. San Juan, Ciudad Trujillo,
La Guaira, Curacao, Cristobal,
Kingston and Havana. A minimum
of 11-hours ashore is allowed, and
more at most ports. At Havana,
the vessel will arrive during the
early hours of one day and sail two
days later.
The Veendam's second Bermuda
cruise leaves on February 16, for
seven days and its 18-day trip on
March 20 will be a repetition of the
December 16 cruise.
