A Chicago reader INQUIRIES ::
Whatever happened to the orr
glnal mean little Jackie

now, because Jackie, now &c
years old and a father, has re-
turned to the screen and will be
seen IN "BeyondGlory,"

field. Hollywood's slip is show
ing.
Candy and popcorn continue to
be just as important to theater
owners as good pictures. Inc
exhibitors, will do almost any
thing to induce patrons to pur-
chase G and P. Theirlatest glm-
mick IS to give free admission
tickets to large purchasers OF
G and P. So, Mr.: Theatergoer,
While pou fuss and fret about
your neighbor's noise on candy
wrappers and crunchy corn, re-
member that his thunder brings
the potted rainbow to the eXhi-
bltor, drat the tw oof them!
Hollywood pretties are going
brunette. They find it takes
years off their appearance. And.
they're definitely verboten on
that gray-tint, which made many
CT them look like their own
grandmaw.
L wonder if Hollywood realizes
that many of their deep-in-
thought films are way over the
heads of our younger generation.
Two teen-agers have written
this gallery protesting the ad-
mission lee they paid to see
1.-THE Big Clock" and Lady from
Shanghai The youngsters com
plain: I'VE talked and talked
about both pictures long after
we left the thater. But we
couldn't make heads or tails
about either of them"
My advice to Hollywood: Keep
your mind open to the youth OF
our nation. They may not have
experience, but they know what
they want.
BY reading, Orson Welles will
have recovered from the chick
enpOX, no less. He caught it from
his daughter, Christopher, just
as he was Tapping his wings
to fly TO Rome, where he is
scheduled to be married to an
Italian countess.
Enrol Flynn and Hildegarde
clashed after the latter had in
vited Enrol to say words during
her floorshow. Am told that
Flynn's behavior was far from
exemplary and that Hildegarde
worked hard getting him off the
floor. AS she laughingly descriD-
ed it later: Imagine any woman
trying to get rid OF Enrol Flynn"
And, just to show that he's
good sport in admitting his own
mistakes, | hear that Flynn

Stan Kenton refused to tele-
wise his June II Hollywood Bowl
show on KTLA, but he finally
granted permission to Don Lee
who carried the orchestra leader
on a sustaining show for a few
years until he attained national
recognition. Now, there's a true
friend, who hasn't forgotten a
good turn.
one OF our prime favorites,
Cesar Romero, has departed
from Hollywood temporarily to
journey to the Princeton Drama
Festival, where he will star in
Strictly 'Dishonorable" I. And,
how many Of you remember Lois
Wilson? She'll return to the
screen shortly.
And, Danny Thomas continues
to play for free. This week he
runs through his complete rou-
tine for the Los Angeles SAM
tarium and the Childrens Aid
Guild. Sweet charity was never
blessed with "a sweeter guy :.
Love that man!
A local small radio station has
been using a famous movie star
for many wees without benefit
of name. His studio was tipped
off and the star was quickly
yanked, but fast. His name:
Mickey Rooney, the perennial
little boy.
Florabel Muir tells it: Kay
KKayser gave his obstetrician a
new Lincoln for helping his wife
Georgia, give him a new Kyser.
