'Leave Her to Heaven Daring, Sensational LOOKING 'AT? HOLLYWOOD BY EDWIN SCHALLERT AND FILM All those who derogate the i word "psychological" as applied to the modern movie of crime will find in "Leave Her to I-osansclcsCfmtsL SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1945 FARTII 5 'Blackouts' Girl Awarded Screen Contract at 20th Another girl in Ken Murray "Blackouts of 1945" at El CapW tan Is lost to the show In favor of a picture career. Virginia Johnson, who Joined the revua a few months ago, won a "Queen" nomination on a radio program and a part of her reward was a 20th Century-Fox contract Miss Johnson is the 21st girl who hag. been signed from "Blackouts" to a movie contract since the show opened three and a half years ago. The more criminal scenes, especially the one whera Miss Tierney, out in the cold waters of a lake, allows a crippled boy to drown are practically guaranteed to make audiences gasp out loud. Neither is the episode where she deliberately kills her unborn child lacking in shock.

Not much for the good is accomplished in "Leave Her to Heaven" but it is an amazing study of a character, and the Heaven," at long last, a picture that sensationally and complete Sturges Visions Tracy ly fills the bill. Gene Tierney, in fact, has a role to play that is veritably as 'Banque Nemo' Hero psychopathic in its violence, yet BT EDWIN SCHALLERT "powers of darkness" at work through the medium of a single, woman, whose hate is even more Anyon in Hollywood can dream, and Preston Sturges, that Mephistophelian maker of movies, who Is always full of surprises, sinister than her love. And so solidly motivated that you view her as a thoroughly human, if also thoroughly poisonous heroine. She is the hopeless victim of a selfishness so consuming that when it manifests Itself in love, she sacrifices everything for possession, and for vengeance when she cannot both are sinister beyond belief. is doing a little vislonlng right at the present time.

Great are the charm atmos include two murders, one of prenatal character, and finally a phere and beauty reflected in the earner romantic episodes, the natural scenery photographed in suicide which tends to throw the guilt attaching to her death on an innocent person. In other words, even from the grave she reaches back into life to harm.

no longer mentions the name of Crosby." THE PARTYING SHOT Sam Goldwyn's welcome-back luncheon for David Niv-en was set in a forest primeval of Chris.tmas trees with 75 bright-red satin chairs for the guests. Dave Chasen served slices of roast beef hotter than you get in your own home. Wondering how he did it, I went behind the scenes and discovered he'd moved a gas range into the adjoining sound stage. Niven, who's dying to meet Danny Kaye in the flesh, told of seeing Goldwyn's "Kid From Spain" in Germany, where it was being run for our G.L's. The boys, he said, screamed with laughter when they recognized Paulette God-dard, Betty Grable and Carol Bruce in the film.

They were show girls then. Seeing Teresa Wright and Loretta Young exchanging pictures of their babies, David was about to whip out his own when luncheon ended. Bob Sherwood, whose head really does look like it had been carved from marble, whispered to me that he didn't write Sam's speech. At the Beverly Club party thrown for the Patcevitches of Vogue, Janet Gaynor really went high hat, wearing the tallest one seen in these parts. Biddy Banton had on one Travis calls "Turkey's Downfall." Marian Preminger carrying so much silver around her neck she jingled like a South American gaucho.

She claimed it was Peruvian. Doris Stein had her left hand in She'd met up with an over-enthusiastic motorist. Mrs. Frank Shields getting? oh3 and ahs over a wonderful hunk of bracelet Barbara Hutton sent her for Christt mas. Lana Turner's proposed trip to South America will do more to cement relations south of the border than anything I can think of.

She'll also stop traffic. RM-ospd by ths Chlcsca Tribune-New York Ntw Syndicate. Technicolor surpassing much of this type of pictorial embellish GENE TIERNEY CORNEL WILDE JEANNE CRAIN Metro's titled its atomic-bomb epic "The or the End." Spencer Tracy, Clark Gable, Walter Pidgeon and Van Johnson all will be in it. That should be enough to explode any film. Technical Adviser Ed Tompkins and Maj.

Gen. Leslie R. Groves will be present to see that the job's done right. Bill Morrow, who did such a magnificent war job, is all set with Jerry Wald to write the first film satire. When Humphrey Bogart does the life of Jack Benny they promise to take everybody apart, including Boss Man Jack Warner.

Benny's holding out for a glamour boy like Errol Flynn or a young Ronnie Colman to do his life. He doesn't think Bogie's the type. It will be the start of our own "Once in a Lifetime" if the present plans go through. When the industry starts kidding itself it's a mighty healthy sign. Too often we wait till the other fellow does it and then our feelings are hurt.

Benny's whole career has been based on his ability to laugh at himselfand he writes his own insults. Jinx Falkenburg and Tex McCrary were told by. her doctor to expect their own little champ about the time the Forest Hills tennis tournament rolls around in August. LOSING SLEEP Larry Crosby'g getting mighty tired being called at all hours about reports of Bing's alleged illness, his sudden death, his buying of this, that and the other thing. Eing, who'll be home in a few days, telephoned Larry yesterday that he'd never had a better time or bought less.

Bob Cobb and his pretty missus had a little reunion at the Troc with Xavier Cugat and "Society Kid" Hogan of Chicago. Bob was enthusing over the ballplayers' he signed up at least, he thinks they're good. I asked about that rumor of Crosby's trying to buy the Pirates and he said, "The Pirates' owner is so mad he ment.

She is cast as one of the two women in the life of Ray Mil-land, the other girl being played by Jane Wyman.

Doris hails from, the New York stage, while her sister Constance is already familiar to movie audiences. Phillip Terry and Howard da Sylva head the supporting cast. crimes of his wife. PnSMtf WIUIAM ilUHl frr.lr Oy Swrllo Jeanne Crain is decisively competent in her contribution. Mary Philips, Ray Collins.

Gene did virulent role in a manner that will prove strangely arresting for those who look on. It is even the kind of interpretation that may win the Academy award. This rather depends on the mood of the voters, as it will represent a wide swing away from their prior selection. It is admirably accomplished in the insidious phases. Lockhart and Darryl Hickman.

"Leave Her to Heaven," pro duced with great care, and very daringly, under the supervision of William A. Bacher and. the J.l direction of John M.

Stahl is no pap for morons, and is far away from that boy-meets-girl 4 fodder so often discerned, on the play he and Howard Hughes have bought called "La Banque Nemo' by Louis VerneuiL His hankering goes "way back to the days when Tracy acted in "The Power and the Glory," which Sturges wrote for Fox when Spencer was a star there. Story of "La Banque Nemo. Is a bank, clerk who by devious process eventually becomes the owner of the financial Institution, and is reputed to be quite All of which reminds me that Robert E. Sherwood, the author "The Rugged Path," opined the other day that it was unthinkable that Tracy could be "replaced" in stage piece, as previously suggested. It closes with his leaving.

XEWEST BROADWAY STAR ACQUIRED BY METRO It's a long way off, the fulfillment of the contract, but M.G.M. has assured Itself of the presence of Patricia Marshall, rated the newest Broadway star, because of her performance in "The Day Before Spring" as Christopher Randolph. This Is the musical in which Irene Manning, formerly with Warners, is featured. Miss Marshall Is a triple-threater for the Metro 'musicals, because she can sing, dance and skate. She was in "Stars on Ice," Hat Off on Ice," "You'll See Stars" and "What's Up?" She was soloist with Richard Himber'g band originally was born In Minneapolis.

John Wilson, producer, picked her for "The Day Before Spring."

He feels it offers an ideal part for Joan Fontaine, plans to propose "(her regular salary as against 33H per cent of the gross, I hear, and 15 per cent to Williamson, who has been writing "Escape Me Never" at Warners. The author is also noted for "Wood's Colt" and "Hanky," named as book of the month on respective occasions. Story of "Christine Roux" has a very spiritual heroine, and fits into the new semirellgious trend in the cinema.
