not think the producer is as
right as he knows he is. Says
she:
Il shouldn't step out of the

&&&
If you have longer memory
than Miss Bardot or Mr.. Levy
you may be wondering why
they are bringing this whole
thing up now. 1t could be, Of
course. that not enough atten-
ton was paid the first time.
That was some months back
when BIB. was reported making
a movie titled ''Babette Goes to
War" There were a couple of
small notes in columns that
this was to be a supreme test of
her ability as an actress. mas
much as she went through the
entire picture fully clad.
A still photograph made on
the set even turned up around
here, showing Miss Bardot en-
quilted in coverallS with the
wild hair-do stuffed into a tin
hat. 1t was quite a sight when
compared with all the other
pictures of Brigitte that had
crossed the desk.
This, however, seemed to
make little impression on any,
one. fact which prompted the
suspicion that true Bardolators
can't read, or they would have
complained. Maybe somebody
will take notice now, if Bri-
gitte and Raoul get into a
fight over how much of her
should be placed on view.
Whatever comes of it, there
is one red-blooded American
actor who undoubtedly hopes
that Miss Bardot, Miss Moreau
and others of their school will
get dressed and stay dressed.
This is Franchot Tone. He
hasn't made a Hollywood movie
in seven years, but he has a
film ready for release at the
drop of a hat. Or, at the drop
in the popularity of Miss Bar
dot and her ilk.
It's Chekhov's Uncle
Vanya," which Tone did as an
off-Broadway play a couple of
years ago, filming it at the
same time. His problem, he

are dominating the fare at the

New York, Mar. 22.-Harry Bel

as a movie producer. The recent
formation of Harbel Productions
could turn out to be the most i'm
portant development in the Amer
lean Negro struggle for equal rep

Negroes on the screen and the re-
