Wrote Tunes for Songs.
In London last night, where
his plane stopped briefly, Mr..
Oats said he wrote the tunes
for several hundred songs dur
ing his imprisonment. He wrote
most of them on cake cartons
and toilet paper.
Mr.. Oats said his jailerS
wouldn't let him bring out the
songs on cartons. but I've kept
quite a lot of the others
Mr.. Oats was accompanied
home by Alan J. Gould. execu-

Press.
In pardoning Mr.. Oats, Czech
President Antonin Zapotocky
said he acted because of a letter
of appeal Mrs. Oats sent his
predecessor, the late President
Klement Gottwald, last Novem-

it be forwarded to Prague, and

Attorney Charles E. Ford was

from participating in the case as

when Associate Defense Counsel

When every member of the
family is a star, what happens
to them in their private life?
Well, the only ALL-star
family I know sign their last
name Nelson, and their first
Ozzie, Harriet, Ricky and
David. The fact that they do
have some private life is due
mostly to Harriet, the strong
minded gal who blazed a path
Is years ago, renouncing her
movie career to be with her
husband, followed 13 years
later by Lucille Ball and Desi
ArnaZ.
I first met Harriet shortly
after I arrived in Hollywood.

musical score by Irving Berlin.
The late Mark Sandrich was
assigned to direct. AS the
starting date drew closer and
closer, all parts were assigned
except one. This was the part
of Ginger Rogers sister. 1t
was a sympathetic role re-
quiring not only a girl who

could sing, but also one who
could act.
The part ran all through the
picture. Sandrich had just
about given up hope of finding
an actress who could meet all
his specifications and he was
a worried man.
Then, one fine morning, a
projectioniSt at the studio
made a mistake and started to
run Harriet Hilliard's dramatic
test instead of a scheduled reel
of several singing tests that
had been made the day before.
An assistant director imme-
diately reached for the phone
to call the projection booth,
but Sandrich stopped him.
Let me see more of this" he
said.
She Was Reluctant
Convincing Harriet, how
ever, was a different matter.
II don't want to do a musical"
she walled. II want to stop
singing and get married to
Ozzie." The studio offered her
$3.50 a week and q guarantee
of IL weeks.
But that's q quarter of a
year. How can you be married
and live 5000 miles away ;"
The studio upped the offer to
$1,000 q week.
1T isn't a question of
money" explained Harriet.
The studio upped the ante
again to $1,000 a week. Still
Harriet shook her head.
"Our absolute and final Of
fer" beloved the apoplectic
man from the studio, Fifteen
hundred a week."
At this point Ozzie stepped
into the picture. Think ahead
about IS years from now" he
told Harriet. "I'll probably be
fat, completely bald and have
no teeth. You'll look across
the breakfast table at me and
say to yourself. And to think
I could have been a moving
picture star and I gave it all
up for him. (Ozzie, by the
way, still has all his hair. all
his own teeth and still weighs
the same). You owe it to our
future happiness to give this
thing a whirl."
Harriet agreed to make the
picture, but only after she had
gone back East and gotten
married. according to sched-
ule. They wrote to each other
every day and phoned almost
every other day. but, as Har-
riet said, Three thousand
miles is too far away from the
guy you're married to and no

is worth risking your happi-

The picture was finished and
became a box-office smash.
Perhaps you saw it. It was
called Follow the Fleet" and
Harriet received rave notices.

The Passing Show

Milestones are not the sole
property of televiSion, which,
for awhile there, reported
passing a new one every four
days. There are milestones in
the movie business, too, and
one of them was passed last
week. This was the New York
opening of 1.-THE Robe" first
feature movie filmed in goth
Century-Fox's CineInascope

nized, recorded musical score,
opened in New York. Cinema
Scope, a lot of people feel, may
easily bring about as wide
spread a movie-making revolu-
ton as that first sound film
launched 81 years ago.

1.-THE Robe" Daryl F. Zanuck
calls the studios new process
the most revolutionary devel-
opment" in movie-making in
20 years. In fact, the goth
Century-Fox vice president in
charge of production and
Spyros Skouras, the firms
president, are putting all their
eggs in the CinemaScope bas-
ket.
Investment Is Lorae
That may be an unfortunate
figure of speech. With $40 mil
lion already invested in lenses,
sound systems, screens, ETC.,
and with more than 81 million
in "The Robe" and some $50
million in IL yet-to-be-released
CinemaScope films, nobody
wants to be laying any eggs.
Anyhow goth Century-Fox is
gambling and switching over
to CinemaScope just as War
ners gambled and switched to
sound 81 years ago.
There are indications that
at least a portion of the movie
industry will go along. The
popularity Of these new wide.
panoramic, super-duper screens
is a hint that the customers
are willing any time Holly
wood is.
CinemaScope, of course, in
wolves a great deal more than
merely enlarging the screen.
Wide screens now in use mere
ly permit the enlargement Of
the picture thrown by old
projectors. Since the ratio Of
width to height is greater than
on a normal screen and since
the picture itself is enlarged
in both dimensions, parts of it
at the top and bottom are lost.
It's Anomorphosis
CinemaScope is something
else. It uses a lens developed
in France by Henri Chretien,
an honorary professor at the
Sorbonne and at the Optical
Institute, who calls it an ana
morphoscope. Anamorphosis
simply means the process by
which a picture is distorted in
the filming and restored to
shape when projected through
the proper lens.
With the CinemaScope lens
the ordinary movie camera can
take in a field roughly the
size and shape of that taken
in by the human eye. This, by
the distortion of the lens. is
squeezed onto regular 35-mm.
movie film. When it is pro-
jected through another Cinema
Scope lens the picture fills a
screen two and a half times
as wide as it is high.

that normally used.
Depression Stopped One
This isn't a new thought,
either. In September, 1929,
the old Fox Films studio held
the premiere of a picture
called Grandeur" at the
Gaiety Theater in New York.
It was made on double-size TO
nm. film. What happened to
that process was October. 1929.
After the depression came the
material shortages Of the war,
not to mention the lush busi-
ness years of the movies, when
no reviving hypodermics were
needed. It took television to
bring on the new Hollywood
revolution.
The technical revolution, in
cidentally, is likely to be ac-
companied by another in re-
lated areas. Improved tech
niques in acting and directing
will be required. The size of
the field covered and the
sharpness with which the lens
brings background players into
focus make much of the cut
ting presently used unneces-
sary. Consequently. players
have to be prepared to do long
scenes instead of doing their
acting in bits and pieces.
CinemaScope and kindred
processes may work another
miracle, too. Filming longer
scenes in a wider field of view
means that fewer camera set
ups are required. Producer
Frank Ross, who made "The
Robe" says CinemaScope can
cut shooting time by a third.
It is possible at times, he says,
to get as much as eight pages
of script filmed in a day in
stead Of the customary three.
Unlike sound and color.
CinemaScope may turn out to
be a technical advance in
movie making which makes
them cost less instead Of more.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: have
spent many sleepless nights try
ing to flnd q solution to this
problem; perhaps you can help.
It may be I am making too much
Of the first great problem I have
had to meet. I am 20, am conSid-
cred attractive, have many
friends. and a good education.
My parents never disapproved of
my friends-until I brought Mar
tin home. I met him two years
ago, and he is the first and only
person for whom my parents
showed bitter dislike. There
seems to be no good reason for
1t, except that he doesn't show
much. consideration for people
except me, and drinks OCCASION
ally. He is 20. and still in college.
His parents also have strong OBJ
jections to him spending so much
time with me. Now, though we
love each other, I cannot stand
sneaking out to meet him, or
having him go to the corner
drugstore to telephone me. I feel
we would be better off apart, but
he doesn't agree with me.
j. G.
ANSWER: Both sets of par
ents seem firmly set against the
idea of their children becoming
seriously involved with a sweet
heart. You will both buck the
same opposition with anyone you
happen to love.
Your parents dislike Of Mar
tin is unwarranted, if his short
comingS are no greater than you
indicate. His people seem to
object to you solely on the ground
that the boy is too young to
have a permanent heart inter-
est. If you are sure you love
the boy. you should continue as
friends. using any inducement
at hand to win your families over
to this phase of your relation
ship, promising to postpone def
mite involvements to a more
auspicious time, and hoping that
by then the folks will be COM
pletely won over. Your mistrust
of your own love, however, puts
a slightly different aspect on the
matter. It's scarcely worth max
ing the effort to appease both
families, if the ultimate result
is to be negative.
Why not try seeing each other
less often for time, and per-
haps your own doubts will re-
solve themselves. Keep an eye
on Martins conduct, too. De-
eide whether his inconsderate-
ness is due to thoughtlessness or
inherent selfishness, and wheth-
