AT 6TH AVE. Some Show Put on For Gold Braid Warners Really Toss One for Halsey, Arnold and Knudsen On Their Coast Visit By Frederick C. Othman United Pre Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 16 The Warner Brothers staged a party the other night for Admiral William J. Halsey, General Henry H.

Arnold, Lieutenant General William Knudsen and other fighting men conferring here with West Coast industrialists. The movie makers invited. 400 people, Including us. More than 1,000 showed up and we don't guess there ever has been such a party any place, ever. It had" the warriors goggle-eyed.

Us, too. The Warners apologized for the food, what with the red coupon situation, and came up with roast turkey, roast ham and roast beef, plus assorted vegetables, salads, sauces and cakes. The militarists and the gun manufacturers ate this at tables covering a sound stage and kept a close eye on such pretty-pretties as Joan Crawford, Ann Sheridan, Alexis Smith and many another, who ate with 'em. After the boys with the gold braid had eaten and looked, they walked across the studio alley to another stage upon which was a replica of the Hollywood Canteen, where the movie makers regularly entertain soldiers. The generals and the admirals received such entertainment as the O.

I. soldiers get every night. A couple of hundred thousand dollars worth, any way you add it. The studio orchestra was on the stage under direction of Leo Forbsteln, Jack Carson was master of ceremonies, and the acts went something like this: Lou Costello played his celebrated baseball game with Bob Aida, because Bud Abbott had the flu. Jane Wyman, no longer a blonde and looking the better for it, sang a couple of songs.

Bette Davis Sings Bette Davis, wearing a black dress and pink orchids with spots on 'em, walked onto the stage, made a brief speech In which she said the Warners did not hire her to sing, and proceeded to prove it. She sang about how the available boys were either too young, or too old. She wasn't bad. We've heard worse. Much worse.

Came Irene Manning, who really does know how to sing, for a couple more songs which brought down the house. Miss Manning, wearing a red business like Riding Hood, was the hit of the evening. Then Carson announced the next number would be by a singer called Frank Sinatra. A row of business men in front of us groaned. They didn't make the ideal audience for the groaner-crooner.

Sinatra warbled about Sunday, Monday, or always, and the munitions makers looked unhappy. Then he sang "Old Man River," and we must say he did a beautiful job of it. "The guy really can sing," said a startled designer of airplane engines. Carson said there'd been too much singing to suit him and brought on Ray Bolger, the celebrated dancer, just back from the South Pacific, with hi3 routine about the Sad Sack, a soldier who can't do anything properly. Pretty funny it was, too.

Then Carson said now he guessed the boys could stand some more songs, maybe, if they had a good singer to do 'em. He said he had a pretty good singer. He did, too. Dinah Shore. Gardiner a Surprise Elg surprise to us was Reginald Gardiner, who followed her.

We never knew he was a vaudevillian and here he was imitating railroad trains and steamboats, and reaching a Palace Theater climax with the aid of a water glass, by becoming a hospital patient going under the ether. Alda cracked. some jokes with a 'performer whose name we never did get and then there appeared a comedian, name of Jack Benny, with some excruciatingly funny comments about his employers. Fact that the Warners, Harry and Jack, sat at his feet, absorbing insults, made the situation funnier still. By now it was 11 o'clock and Carson tried to sing a song while workmen trundled to the stage some cannon, wash boards, Nazi helmets and a blacksmith's anvil.

All this was for the benefit of Spike Jones and his city slickers who closed the show by murdering some music and wrecking the stage. The gold braid boys walked out of Warner Brothers dazed, with their mouths open. So did we. Where to Go MOVIES MAKE MORALE!

Letter Box "I read your review of "Gangway For Tomorrow' in the Post- Gazette of January 1 with great interest," writes Arch Oboler, who was credited with the screen play, from Hollywood, "and I am not in disagreement, with a word of it in so far as it concerns the picture as a whole. But when you state that 'the cliches comes thick and fast' and then give me the entire credit for the Hollywood bazooka which shoots off said cliches, even at this distance I must rush to airmail and protest. Yes, I get screen credit in quotes for the screen play, but what you saw on the screen was only about 20 per cent mine.

The rest, and I have enough objective knowledge of my other work (editor's note: Mr. Oboler is one of radio's most famed writers, directors and producers) to speak definitely the rest is the product. of the usual Jieavy hands that wait around for an author's script to arrive, and then begin proving that they know the answers from the standpoint of what is good for motion pictures. For Tomorrow did you ever hear a more insipid title Most vehemently, no, because it had the potentialities of being a fine, unusual and meaningful picture. And I assure you that the next time you see my name on a strip of celluloid, what will be on that screen will be at least 50 per cent my product!" Addenda Walter Long, until recently a lieutenant colonel in the army, will play a navy captain in the Dave Wolper musical, "Follow the Girls." Columbia has bought the screen rights to "Intimate Strangers," a novelette by Mildred Cram.

Gloria Stuart will return to the screen in "The Whistler," which, is to be secretary asked the newsman ii Freeman knew him.

"He may remember," was the answer, "I was the man he met two weeks ago who did not ask for a studio job." P. He was put through. Sonny Tufts completes his contract with Alexis Thompson on March 1, which will automatically give him back 50 per cent of himself. Miriam Hopkins and Franchot Tone have been approached to do the Margaret Sullavan and Elliott Nugent roles in the Chicago company of "Voice of the Turtle." Lon McAllister, who is awaiting his army orders, and Jeanne Grain have it bad. The word's out that 'United Artists really has something in "Knickerbocker Holiday."

Hollywood High Lad Gets Film Contract Dick Erdman, 18-year-old Hollywood High school graduate, has been signed to long-term contract at Warner Brothers and will make his screen debut portraying Scooper in "Janie," wrhich Michael Curtiz will direct. Erdman has had radio and stage experience but for past year has been appearing in dramatic presentations at the school. A 1 IB? 1 immm 1 It would be natural to assume that the daughter of Leopold Stokowski and of Olga Samaroff would choose music for her life work. However, young Miss Stokowski prefers making her own way in the theater rather than depending on her family name to get her some place in the field of music. She will be seen in Pittsburgh in the role of Mrs.

Alexander Hamilton in the Sidney Kings- ley prize-winning drama "The Patriots," starring Walter Hampden, which, begins a week's engagement at the Nixon Theater next Monday. Her father the famed violinist- conductor, her mother the former concert pianist now on the faculty of the Juilliard School of Music in New York, Sonya grew up with as much of a musical background as any youngster might possess. She studied music, attended concerts and met and listened to the talk of all the great in the realm of mu3ic. But when the time came for Sonya to think seriously of her own place in this world, she faced the facts squarely and intelligently. Unless she could approxi mate her parents talents, it would be best for her not to venture into a musical career.

A child of the Stokowskis could not be less than perfect as a musician. The theater had always interested her, and she realized that here there would be no precedent established by her family, nor would she have to de pend on her father's or mother's name. In other words, in the theater, Sonya Stokowski was on her own, and she liked the idea very much. When she was 14, New York's famed Neighborhood Playhouse gave Sonya her first taste of theater life. Engagements in summer stock followed, and a few seasons ago, Sonya got the understudy job in George Abbott's production of "The White-Haired Boy." The break of a lifetime came when the young leading lady was taken ill just before the premiere, and Sonya opened in her stead.

Later appearances were with Charles Butterworth in "George Washington Slept Here" at the Naish Would Fain Broccoli Baron Be J. Carroll Naish is out to be come the Broccoli Baron of California. While he was working in the California desert with Humphrey Bogart in "Sahara," he and the rest of the troupe were quartered in Brawley, the largest vegetable shipping point in the world. There Naish became acquainted with Bud Todd, a Brawley produce broker, and invested his money in a partnership with Todd. The Naish-Todd combine is now in the broccoli and lettuce brokerage buisness, and the actor expects to spend a good deal of his time from now on taking an active part in the business.

Dinner Is Success June Allyson of "Two Sisters and a Sailor" invited Hank Daniels of "Meet Me in St. Louis" to dinner after they had dined out several times together.
