his voice isn't much and the songs just run-of-the-mill pop, Also he dances a mean mambo. Having found the money, While Bob Cummings was away, wife Mary bought a story titled "The Damned" which takes place on a ferryboat and is highly dramatic. Two studios were bidding for it. It was brought to their attention three years ago by Billy Gilbert, who thought it was just dandy for Cummings, so when Mary had an opportunity to buy, she jumped at the 'M X''M JEAN SIMMONS costars with Stewart Granger in a drama, "Footsteps in Fog," at Egyptian, Wiltem, RKO Hilhtreet, other theaters. the hero poses as the Count He is a great comedian, who knows all the tricks and then some.

Yet, playing his of Monte Cnsto and has himself a ball, And virtue triumphs even in farce, for dur her husband, now her agent, is making all sorts of demands for his little girl. Richard Burton is building a home in the south of Wales where he was bom and he'll have the only inside plumbing in the town. He's really building it for his sister, but there'll be a room for him when he comes to visit. The Mexicans thought up this title for "Daddy Long Legs," which is a sweet love story. They call it "The Pas-' sionate Little French Girl," and Mexicans are standing in line to see it.

DESERT SONGS Went to Las Vegas for Frank Sinatra's opening at the Dunes. He sang fifteen songs. His ad libs, unusual endings and pauses prove that France's really come of age. He had that packed house loving every note and gesture. There were many newspaper folk and photographers who haven't loved him in the past, but that's all changed.

He was never so co-operative. Even rode a camel on stage and said, "I'd do anything for Jack Entratter," No wonder. When Frankie was at his lowest ebb a couple of years ago, Entratter signed him to a life contract at the Sands and gave him a piece of the profits. Now Jack's taken over the Dunes, and the same deal goes. The boys put on quite a show, with Oriental splendor, costumes, dancing girls, that sweet magician, Galli-Galli, who makes seven chicks disappear, and who owns and runs a motel up there.

For a minute I thought, I was back in Istanbul. Eva Marie Saint has Paul Hartman helping her with dances she'll do with Frank Sinatra on "Our Town" for TV. After the Dunes, went to likable rogues and fall guys ing one of his. big parties he he manages a very distinct personality all his own, and rounds up the man who he extra good in this one. Veteran Andres Soler also has an appealing role, that of the old prisoner who leaves his gold to the hero.

Gilberto Martinez Solares directed. G. framed him. Miss Mexico Appears Of course there's cali-ente romance, the femme being Ana Bertha Lepe, Miss Mexico, who also came in fourth in the Miss Universe contest, You easily realize why all the honors, for she is tops even among Mexico's many luscious beauties. She even rated whistles yesterday when she made her celluloid appearance! Director-Star Director Tay Garnett and an who turns out to be his mother's best friend.

Tony Curtis bought Leo Rosten's story "Cory" which he intends to make as an independent picture in 1056. So many actors are making independent pictures these days. I'm wondering if they realize what a tough job they've set for themselves. It's hard for our old reliables to get a good picture nowadays. MAMMA'S CHOICE Tab Hunter promised his mother he'd give her anything her heart desired when he could afford it.

Well, now he's sending mamma to college, where she aims to get a B.A. degree. Harry Cohn never gives up. He's still got Clifford. Odets writing on "Joseph and His Brethren." Rita Hay worth, anybody? Since Anita Ekberg landed in Rome they've got the old tape measure working overtime again since she's giving Lollabrigida and Sophia Loren competition.

I like Anita. She's co-operative, too, but she worked harder learning to act, she'd have a longer career. I'm fed up listening to stories about Marion Marlowe, the girl Godfrey fired. All right, say she's good. But let's once say he hired hen If he hadn't he couldn't have fired her.

Then maybe she wouldn't be singing at the Beverly Hilton. I hear his actress-wife Mari Aldon see "Guys and Dolls," with many members of the original cast, including Vivian Blaine, Sam Levena and Robert Alda. It ran two hours. I liked it better than the three times I caught it on Broadway. Then to the Silver Slipper, where Hank Mann and co-workers killed us.

Somebody's got to write Hank into a TV show worthy of him. He does comedy and drama, and Charles Coburn, who's an expert on both, went twice to get a lesson from Hank in timing. Joe Pasternak there now with 136 people shooting "Meet Me in Las Vegas." Two hundred members of travel agencies also there for the week end. The only gripe I heard came from a taxi driver, who says his business is 35 7i off. Everybody drives his own car.
