HOLLYWOOD.

Fighting back after the worst
economic blow in its history-col-
lapse Of the foreign market and a
domestic slump-Hollywood looks
upon 1850 as its do-or-die year.
A whole slate of new acting faces
will be one of the, industry's chief
weapons in q desperate attempt to
restore box-office order.
During the lush war years we
acquired some false notions about
star drawing powers" said one
producer. Now we are facing grim
reality and careful surveys show
that many stars were synthetic
while others are simply played
out"
An outstanding example of the
drive to create new favorites is
Nancy Olson, the 21-year-old
Viking blond who is Bing Crosby's
romantic lead in the musical. "Mr.
Music"
Nancy didn't climb the ladder
rung by rung, chalking UP sue
cession Of bit parts before gradu-
ating to important roles. She was
starred in her first film-"Cana-
dian Pacific" with Randolph Scott
and in her second, Sunset
Boulevard" she was given the ro-
mantle lead opposite William
Holden. Now she gets MIR. Crosby
without struggle.
Always Wanted to Act.
Nancy always wanted to act.
Daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Henry
John Olson of Milwaukee. she
once switched high schools be-
cause one school had a better
drama society than the other. At
Wanwatosa High she starred in
and directed school plays, studied
stagecraft and forensic arts. At
the same time she headlined her
own weekly radio show on WTMJ.
the Milwaukee Journal station.
This was a dramatic segment with
Nancy casting herself as Cinder-
ella, Snow White and similar
characters.
Eventually Nancy came to Cali
fornia to study at UCLA where
Kenneth Mcgowan presides over
a comprehensive and highly rated
course in theater arts.
Nancy intended to remain at
UCLA only two months for a
summer course. She was already
a student at the University of
Wisconsin. But she surprised
herself by winning the leads in

In Stellar Style.
One night O Paramount scout
showed up at the campus play
house to watch q lad chosen as
male lead in Molnar's "The Plays

cannot recall the youths name
All he remembers is the stage en-
trance of an alluring blond who
walked through her chore as fe-
male lead as though she were a
star with 10 years experience.
The girl was Nancy, of course.
Next day she accepted an invita-
ton to lunch at Paramount.
why not?" she asked herself.
She planned to be cagey If they
offered her film work. Shed tell
them she was going to complete
her college course, then concen-
trate on radio and the theater.
But Nancy came. Nancy saw
and Nancy was conquered. She
signed a Paramount contract,
then tried to forget all about it
when she went back to the usual
round Of studies and football
games and sorority parties at COL
1ege. This state of affairs per-
sisted several months, until Miss
Olson suddenly found herself
aboard a plane headed for the
Canadian Rockies. Paramount
had loaned her to Twentieth Cen
tury-Fox as Randolph SCOTS CO.
star in Canadian Pacific" Nancy
found herself a star in her first
picture.
She Hasn't Changed.
Over at Paramount Nancy's
bosses are certain she has what
1t takes and that her name and
face soon will be as well known
as the mans on the dollar bill.
Nancy's 5 foot 5. weighs 11s,
Is unmarried and doesn't talk or
look like the public concept of q
film actress. Her hair is still on
the longish side, her clothes COL
legiate. yet smart. She travels in
sorority circles more than in the
Hollywood social swim. And she
hasn't changed her original goal.
II still want to try radio and
television and the theater," she
says, adding "but I'll keep making
movies as long as they want me.
And I hope that's q long, long
time"

NEW YORK.

NEW YUM.
The first nights took q definite
turn toward q more humorous
side with the arrival of THE
Happy Time" q delirious comedy
based on Robert Fontaine's de-
lightful novel Of the same name.
AS q production 1t is another gay
feather in the caps Of Richard
Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein
II. who also are the impresarios
Of the hit. South Pacific"
'The Happy Time" has the en-
chanting quality and humor that
always bubble about the inside
stories of French family life. This
comedy has all the laughter, a
few of the tears and most of the
sentiment that could be crowded
into one evening in telling the
story of the Bonnard family in
their Ottawa home in the early
'20s.
One brother, Papa, is 4 quiet,
wise. hard-working man who Is
very much in love with his Scotch
Presbyterian wife. Another BROTH
er brother. Desmonde, is q hand
some salesman who pursues his
many romantic ways mistakenly,
feeling that he is one Romeo safe
from marriage. Another brother,
Louis. is an af1iable. harmless.
likable fellow who has devoted
his career to drinking wine until
that moment when he is ready to
sleep again. Once he chides his
haranguing wife with: You are
the cork in my cognac bottle
When they have troubles. and
problems the whole family, de-
spite their widely varying char
acters, meet those troubles with q
united front. And they triumph,
but with no intention to learn q
lesson or reform. They believe
they have found the best. way Of
life and love. And often In this
comedy it seems that they have.

Parker has done one movie

Comedian Lew Parker says he
can't help wondering why an ap-
parently sure-fire gag gets a bet
ter audience reaction In one place
than another. But 1t happens al
the time.
Parker, touring with Bea Little
in Inside UsA," believes. for In.
stance, that the Middle West
likes its comedy in broad form
Slapsticky. The East, and the
big cities of the West, incline to-
ward so-called sophisticated ma
terial. There seems to be a def
mite variation from one region
to another in the mass sense OF
humor.
But you can't make any hard
anu-fast rules" he added. "I've
played the same city twice, ano
noted a different reaction to the
same lines on each occasion. So
delivery may have lot to do with
1t. Maybe I change my style 9
little, unconsciously."
It's Cold on Monday.
Local jokes and cold night
audiences are special conditions
known to all comics. These don't
count In any effort to appraise
what's funny nationally. Cold
audiences are common on Monday
nights, says Parker, when people
are tired from the week end ano
come to tee tlleater chiefly be-
cause they bought their tickets
in advance" Nothing stirs them

Here I sit, tongue-tied and

Suppose 1t had just happened
to you.
You're sitting at your desk
There's the familiar clatter OF
teletypes, the occasional jangle
Of telephones. Office voices muir
mur. Then the corner of you1
eye catches a bright figure COM
ing through the door. 1t cries
gayly, "Oh, 50 there you are!"
It's neither the boss secretary

ner. the movie star. She's coming

You rise, shake her hand. and
try to act casual. AS though
glamour queens called on you
every day.
Ava sits before the adjoining
desk and offers you a peanut. She
bought bag from the old peddle1
at the foot of the elevator. She
eats peanuts throughout the in

Her tight. white, pullove1

barelegged. On fiat Grecian san

she did.
Burned, you sent her q note
suggesting since you'd driven IS
miles for nothing, she could
square matters by coming to see
you.
It's Ava's first visit to a news
paper Office. I'D expected a
hustle and bustle," she says.
Maybe I've been seeing too many

Your gaze falls naturally to
her bare ankle, the left one. You
ask who gave her its slim gold
