slsSBJBJI EPUBLIC UUDOG Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Arizona. 27 Friday, July 29, 1949 Hollywood Today Radio In Review Curtain Goes lime NBC Giveaway Gives: Ally son, Husband CIVIC DRAMA FESTIVAL presents "GOODBYE AGAIN" A Gay, Spicy Comedy New Film Directions To Costar ln 4 By LOUELLA HOLLYWOOD, July 28 (INS) June Allyson had just settled down to enjoy being Mrs, Dick Powell and stay at home with her baby, when her studio held out an al luring bait the chance to costarJ with her husband in The Reformer O. for in and the Redhead. Yes, I know this was originally touted for Lana Turner, but now it will star Mr. and Mrs.

Powell on Dick's first visit to MGM. MAYBE HOWARD Hughes used to be a night owl and stay up late and start his daytime activities in mid-afternoon, but that isn't now. Howard is up early on the telephone giving orders to his studio and working hard. He reads scripts, looks at rushes, and personally takes charge at RKO these days. He has just bought Eyewitness to a Murder, by A.

Gwynne (no relation to Edith) and plans to make It as a documentary film. He was lucky enough to get Al Werker to direct it. After seeing Lost Boundaries, my admiration ily, 1 7 ArvitaChesbro is the maid and Howard Smith one of the leads in Good-Bye Again, Civic Drama Festival presentation scheduled Friday and Saturday nights at the Sombrero Playhouse, 4747 North Seventh street. Curtain time is 8:30 p.m. mt starring -IVsSSfl CROSBY guess.

So far as I know, this is unprecedented. Murphy promptly ordered that he be called back and ultimately got him on the phone. Man said he had no idea what the mystery picture was. No, he didn't want to guess either. And he hung up again, but not before Ava Gardner succeeded in donating gas range to his church.

I have no idea what the church will do with it. AS A MASTER of ceremonies, George Murphy acts as if he's running the annual banquet of a gas appliance dealers' association. He is strictly business at all times, which may not be such a bad idea at that. Hollywood Calling, after all, is closer to a business than entertainment. And it may succeed in putting Benny out of business.

It may even succeed in putting radio out of business. One misapprehension ought to be cleared up right now. Hollywood Calling arrived on the heels of one of the greatest fanfares of publicity in recent history, and somehow got the idea June Allyson was included in the first jackpot. But no. You only get to talk to her on the phone.

You don't win permanent possession even if you know what the mystery ovie is. Amusement Timetable AERO My Dream Is Yours, 8:05. El Paso, 6:00. 10:10. CINEMA PARK When My Baby Smiles at Me, 8:00, 11:57.

This was reported Thursday by Walter J- Stiles, consulting engineer, who said the Federal Communications Commission in Washington had approved the transfer of ownership. John B. Mills, majority owner of Hotel Westward Ho, filed the original application for a video permit more than a year ago. Recently the company sought a change-over permit from a partnership to a corporation, following the filing of articles of incorporation with the state corporation commission.

A LONG-DISTANCE call went to Pauline Lord to get on the train and come to Hollywood to test for The Glass Menagerie. Pauline, one of our best stage actresses, played in Glass Menagerie on the road. Warners is pretty sure she is the gal they have been looking for, for the mother role.

They want to get the picture in production just as soon as Jane Wyman returns from Europe. So far only Jane and Kirk Douglas have been signed. Miss Lord has not said whether she will come west, but I have an idea she can't resist this opportunity. Had a talk with Jack Dempsey at Del Mar. He has put on weight.

Now he is at Scripps Memorial Clinic, La Jolla, to get rid of his excess poundage, and get himself in shape. His popularity is always amazing. Wherever he goes he is surrounded by crowds.

The building will house business offices and studios. THE TELEVISION tower, to be erected atop the hotel, will rise 280 feet above the building.

A crew of workmen from the International Derrick and Equipment Company already-is reinforc ing the corner posts of the hotel building to support the added weight of the tower. KTLX will operate on Channel 5 with a power of 17,000 watts. Video power ordinarily is twice that of frequency modulation or audio modulation. The first load of equipment from the Du Mont Corporation plant in Passaic, N. left there Thursday en route to Phoenix, Stiles said.

All of the equipment is being shipped by truck. STILES STATED FFC approval means the station must go on the air by November 27 or the incorporators may lose their permit. First test patterns are expected to go over the air by November 1. Schepp has been in Washington a week completing details of the transfer of the firm to a corporation. Because railroad rates now are only 23 times prewar, while the general price level is 50 times prewar, Italy may raise rail rates by 14 to 18 per cent.

Hollywood Calling, which started on NBC July 10 (3:30 p. m. Phoenix Time Sun days), is a super-jumbo razzle-daz zle of a giveaway with $31,000 worth of prizes and a lot of glit tering motion picture names to help out. What we're guessing this time is the title of a motion picture and the clues to get this over with right away are as follows: "A man is murdered and yet he lives. "Over a sprawled fallen figure, a person with an upraised arm.

"A woman stands accused of a crime, a crime that never happened. "The voice of one becomes the voice of another. "A man's destiny is changed by the ringing of a bell." THE WISE MONEY around the RCA building seems to think the right answer is Body and Soul but don't hold me responsible if that's wrong. I never saw the picture. Like Stop the Music, Lou Cowan imist bear responsibility for this one which NBC hopes will recap ture some of Jack Benny audience from CBS.

If giveaways are among your enthusiams, this one can be recommended for several reasons. A lot of showmanship has been expended on nothing very much. The roster of prizes has been given, a I suppose was in evitable, a musical background. When, for 4 example, George Mur phy announces "incomparable Maximilian perfume," a. chorus sings tremulously: "Gee, I like to see you looking swell, baby." But, of course, the big gimmick is the Hollywood stars.

If you happen to belong to my sex and if you had been called opening night, the voice on the other end of the wire would have been that of be still my heart! June Allyson. Miss Allyson, who sounded as if she were in an awful hurry to get the whole thing over with, popped the question to several men and they, paralyzed no doubt by the glamor of it all, missed the answers cold. The girls, incidentally, got Walter Pidgeon, an experience that so shattered them that they couldn't name the mystery picture either. LAST WEEK the names were Frank Morgan and Ava Gardner. Miss Gardner was a little peremptory for my taste, but Mr.

Morgan made up for it. George Murphy, the master of ceremonies, could scarcely separate him from the phone. "Hello, Miss Flanagan," he shouted at one point. "Oh, you're near Tacoma, Washington? Well, vou can go into Tacoma and have a good time. Better not plan on me though.

I'm not eligible. Beau tv for beauty. I always say. Actu ally. I don't always say that.

I'd be awfully dull if I kept saying that." And on and on. The highlight of last Sunday's program, to me, at least, came when a man named Leif Gullifson I think that was his name hung up before Murphy got him on the Dhone. Just didn't give a damn, RODEO 8 P.

ALL THINGS being equal, the city charter provides that the lowest bid be accepted. Glen-dale Equipment Company bid on about half the trucks to be bought. When the bids were opened, Glendale Equipment Company's bid on six trucks was nearly seven hundred dollars under the next lowest bids. TUESDAY, the council voted to accept the higher bids on the recommendation of the city manager. I asked several councilmen why they ignored a saving of nearly seven hundred dol lars.

A majority bloc councilman was quite frank. Phoenix firms pay city, taxes and should get the city's Saving, the taxpayers money is unimportant. IT DEPENDS on whose ox is being gored. GLENDALE EQUIPMENT CO. NEW L'SED TRUCKS BROWN CARGO VANS TRAILERS PHOENIX Ph.
