The music is that of the Span- That charity feature, "This Changing World," which is being 'done to aid the war charities both in England and America, has evidently reawakened an old idea for stunt films.

Different actors and directors take part in the various episodes into which the story is divided. Some years ago there was a feature of lighter order that employed the same technique. It was called "If I Had a Million," and embodied the memorable sequence supervised by 'ilrnst Lubitsch in which Charles Laughton, as a poor, insignificant "lerk, climbed numerous flights of stairs to give his boss the azzberry when he inherited a fortune. Boris Morros has indicated to raramount that he will under-ike a film with a similar diversity of personnel. Billy Wilder id Walter Reisch have written the subject under the title of Tales of Manhattan," it concerns the fate of a formal evening lit, which passes in succession to seven different personages in i plot.

Each leading role will be done by a different actor than the eceding, and there will be seven directors contributing, too. ilton Trumbo and Aben Kanriel will write the screen play. 3ws Clips From Studio Town Strange are some careers in Hollywood. Lum and Abner, Ty popular on the radio, for instance, starred in a picture, )reaming Out Loud," which is reported to have done so well I the box office that the company headed by Jack Votion is as intending to embark ona second in mid-July. Yet leir first feature got scarcely a tumble in the theaters here-wuts, except for the second runs.

Rumors were flying thick and fast yesterday that there was ouble again over "The Little Foxes" starring Bette Davis at he Samuel Goldwyn studio, but that establishment itself the actress had returned to the studio for work as per after a three weeks' illness, and that the film will be 'inished in about four weeks. There's no question but that Miss Davis is worried about the way her portrayal will turn out, but actual rebellion against doing the part which has been uggested in some of the reports seems out of the landscape yet. It would be a pretty drastic, as well as unprecedented, procedure. A curiosity as a production now proposed is' "This Gun For Hire" which will tell of an actress who foils a plot by a munitions king to overthrow the United States. It is a picture that will bring Frank Tuttle back to the Paramount fold as a director.

He is working on the screen play with Albert Maltz, New York stage writer, the Original being by Graham Greene. During his last sojourn at Paramount Tuttle directed two of the most successful Crosby starring affairs, "Waikiki Wedding" and "Dr. Rhythm," as well as the less enchanted "Paris Honeymoon." Hither and Yon With the Stars Gloria Swanson is en route to the East to attend the election of officers for the company in which she is interested, and will return in about three weeks probably to prepare for a film at R.K.O. Jerome Cowan, who has been plugging along in important supporting parts for quite a while, may do a lead for a change. He is being tested for the part of Buldeo by Alexander Korda in "Jungle Boy." Interesting reunion is chronicled at Columbia studios, where Marjorie Gateson has been signed for "You'll Never Get Rich" with Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth.

It is the first time this character actress has appeared with Astaire in 16 years.
