Pat Boone will star in the role" Dick Haymes made famous. "It Might As Well Be Spring," incidentrlly, is the only song remaining of the original score. Rodgers and Hammerstein are whipping up a whole new medley for this second-time round. But, in addition to Pat, Charlie has the inside track on getting Shirley Booth and Arthur Godfrey for the roles of appeared in "War and Peace" and "Tempest." 1 hear Tito intended disbanding this cavalry but he's making so much money from it by renting it to movie companies and as a tourist attraction, he's changing his mind and will keep it.

CERTAINLY a surprise to have Frank De Vol, head of Columbia Records, composer and orchestra leader, telephone that he has turned actor and is playing a role with Hayley Mills in "Petticoats and Bluejeans." "I was on radio with Dave Swift, the director, and he persuaded me to play a bit. I'm getting a big kick out of it," he said. Frank is also booked at the Hollywood Bowl Aug. 22. He is a very talented young man.

He won an Academy Award for the background music in "Pillow Talk" and two of his albums are Gershwin music and one of Jimmy McHugh tunes.

Kind of it? Anyway, that's behind "Strangers When We Meet," at Keith's. But it somehow isn't quite as touching as the author and producer intended it to be, because included in this tear-smeared tale are the boy's wife, the girl's husband, and three children between them.

The "boy" is Kirk Douglas, and the "girl," slightly tarnished around the edges, is Kim Novak. Aside from the moral issue involved here which seems pretty obvious 'the story of their ill-starred love has two very maior faults that make it a Drettv blah movie. THE FIRST is that the whole thing seems pointless. There just is no good reason for this affair. And on that hinges the second flaw that it is impossible to picture Kirk Douglas and Kim Novak in love.

Even in the passion-ridden scenes, and these are mercifully kept to a minimum, they are just two brittle movie stars fighting for prominence in the camera. Douglas has the advantage over Miss Novak in being a skilled actor. Otherwise, it is just impossible to care much about them.
