At Last Hollywood

BY fhe Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD.

Edmond Rostand's famous play
"Cyrano de Bergerac. is headed
at last for Hollywood. George
Glass, aide to Independent Pro-
ducer Stanley Kramer. says they
have acquired English language
film rights from Sir Alexander
Korda, the British film producer
for $4,000.
They also have obtained French
/, language cinema rights from the
Rostand estate in Paris, for about
SIS 900, Glass added.
"Cyrano" was once filmed in
France, years ago. Glass said Kirk
Douglas and Jose Ferrer are being
considered for the title role. Fer
rer has played the role often on
the stage.
Douglas was the star of Kra-
mer's Champion" It and his
Home Of the Brave" have earned
large credits abroad since their re-
lease. "Since it isn't practical for
independent producers to make

Amazing
If True
Foreign Players
Find Some Things
Hard to Believe
by Howard G. Heyn
HOLLYWOOD.

Stately Marina Berti can't quite
believe that Hollywood's houses
are real. Carlo Rizzo is fascinated
by the number of Americans,
chiefly workmen, who wear gloves.
And Claude Dauphin. from wine
drinking France, can't seem to get
enough bottled drinking water.
These are random reactions OF
three notable European screen
stars, suddenly set down in Hol-
lywood for their first taste Of film
making in America.
Miss Berti and Rizzo, from Italy,
and Dauphin. from Paris. Joined
the cast of "Deported" in Rome to
play important roles in>support OF
Marta loren and JEFF Chandler.
Director Robert Siodmak, who
shot 10 per cent of the picture In
Rome, brought the trio back with
him for final scenes at Universal
International studios.
Miss Berti. a beautiful brunette
who speaks with an appealing
pout, thinks the movie colony's

"look as If they were made Of
sugar." and she finds 1t Incredible
that people actually live in

Rizzo is convinced that studio
grips, electricians, carpenters and
other American workmen wear
gloves even in hot weather to
keep their hands looking nice,
I'm italy a man who works with
his hands would never wear
gloves" he said with an amased
shake Of the head.
The genial Dauphin, In repose,
gazes alternately at the studios
pretty girls and at the portable
water coolers. He Is delighted
even when he gets a leaky paper
cup.
This is Dauphin's fourth visit,
but his first for Hollywood film
work. In 1947 he appeared on
Broadway in Jean-Paul Sartre's
play mo Exit" And he made a
British propaganda picture in
New York In 1914.
The "Deported" company looks
upon Dauphin with open admira-
ton. En- route to Hollywood on
his current trip, he spent a sin
gle day in New York-and snagged
the juicy second lead in the next

But for a horse, he's sensational
Just to erase any lingering
questions, let us be specific. The
players name is Snappy, he is q

is probably the only banjo-playing
horse in the world. which puts him

Snappy owes whatever success
has come his way to his owner. q

Years ago, when vaudeville was
still a lively part Of the American
way, Hall was a professional banjo
player. He twanged back and
forth across the country until
vaudeville died. Then he settled
down in Kalamazorand wound up
as a harness maker. But. OF

''He sort of leans toward the

the long negative is David Niven,
calling me long distance from New
York where he was, maybe still is,
combining publicity work for his
latest picture, kiss for Corliss,
with waiting to go to England to
do some added scenes for THE
Elusive Pimpernel."
"My reason for being such a
Yes boy in the past" continues
the debonair David, "is that in
most cases when players said No
and had a battle with their
studios. some one else usually
stepped in and became a big star
in the refused role. Like Betty
Cradle became a star when Alice
Faye said NO to picture. Hum
phrey Bogart said Yes to The
Maltese Falcon after George Raft

I'm definitely not the Buster

So in "A Kiss for Corliss," Da-

Between now and the end of

welcomes in both the critical and

First of these distinguished pre-
mieres will occur at the Martin
Beck Theater next Tuesday eve
r ming when Katharine Cornell ap-
pears in her production of THAT
; Lady," a drama taken from the
, novel, "For One Sweet Grape"
The play, which pictures 10th
century Spain when Philip II

Guthrie ,McClintic, husband Of
Miss Cornell. In performing the
role Miss Cornell wears black

ABOARD ICEBREAKER eds
TO, Of East Greenland, Mar. s.
A rare ice tempest bombarded this
ship last night with heavy bergs
tossing on 30-foot waves.
Huge. ice-laden waves break
ing against the ship resembled
heavy artillery fire of some sea
battle being fought with an in
visible enemy in the Arctic dark
ness off the East coast of Green
land.
The Edisto came out of open
water just below the Arctic circle
into a field of pack ice stretching
beyond the horizon.
Ordinarily such a field is con-
solidated and immobile. This one,
probably due to a 65-mile gale,
had been broken into big chuncks
packed so closely together they
appeared solid.
The ice heaved and tossed al
most as wildly as unobstructed
waves-one of the rarest of Arctic
phenomena. It seems probable
that such solid waves would punch
holes in any craft not built to
Withstand the pressure, and send
it to the bottom quickly.
At dusk grey fog lay over the
tumultuous ocean Of ice and cut
the visibility to near zero. The
ship had spent the day bucking
great waves of the East Greenland
current, one of the greatest of all
rivers of the sea-" The current
sweeps the overflow of the Arctic
basin into the Atlantic.
The ship rolled 80 to 40 degrees
heading into the wind.
Freezing waves broke over the
lower decks most of the time.
Sailors looked forward to striking
the usually stabilizing influence
of the ice pack. through which the
Edisto is designed to make smooth
progress.
