Boyish Pranks Be that as it may, this Bellac pulls the usual line of boyish pranks, such as murder, grave robbing and quenching hi3 thirst with that bright red stuff. But, when the end comes he winds up in worse shape than his victims.

Ray Stricklyn, Jimmie Baird, Greta Granstedt and Virginia Vincent are in cluded in the cast. "The Flame Barrier," starring Arthur Franz and Kath leen Crowley, is 60 minutes of adventure in a studio jungle and 10 minutes of sci ence fiction. Robert Brown is featured and Vincent Padula, Rod Redwing and Kaz Oran are also members of the cast. Paul Landres directed! both pictures which werej produced by Arthur Gardner; and Jules Levy for Gramercyj Pictures and release di through United Artists. Geoffrey M.

Warren I Two quckie-creepies, "The Return of Dracula" and "The Flame Barrier," opened last nierht at the downtown Los Angeles, the Fox Hollywood and Inglewood, Uptown and Culver Theaters as well as four Pacific drive-ins and three neighborhood houses. Starring Francis Lederer and Norma Eberhardt, "The Return of Dracula" could have been put off indefinite ly and no one would have ever known. Bird Not Dracula As a matter of fact, it real ly isn't Dracula at all who returns but a bird by the name of Bellac who only acts like Dracula and looks like Francis Lederer. For an other thing, this Bellac leaves his native Balkan countrj' and shows up in a little town called Carleton, where he has relatives. Now here's the point upon which one might suspect fraud.

According to the things the townspeople say about him, one can only con elude that Bellac has never the second of whom is the child's mother and both of whom are the daughters of the town's semi-invalided el derly Croesus. The little sepulchred granddaughter is the old boy's last heir; at her demise the money would all go to the bereaved medico father and if that doesn't make you suspicious then perhaps you'd better go see the pic ture, after all. Jim Backus and Ellen Cor by are with Prince. The three of them are, of course, all accompiisnea periorm-ers; what on earth are they doing in this? Well, you can throw away those Lloyds of London poll cies-they don't cover death from boredom and any tranquilizers you may be planning to bring with you Don't, however, forget to bring a good supply of Ben zedrine when you go down to see Allied Artists' "Ma cabre," which is now "stun ning audiences" at the Or- pheum, United Artists Pasa dena and Inglewood and 12 other theaters. The picture left me stunned, after a certain fashion, I'll admit; I'm still trying to figure out why all the saturation publicity and elaborate gimmicks for a film which, beyond one or two fairly grisly visual touches, is all talk, and such stale, stilted talk at that that audience wits had a field day.

Five Hours "What!" gasps the doctor (William Prince). "You mean she's buried alive? What'll we do?" "Get a shovel," the first row advised immedi ately if a bit raucously and, sure enough, 18 or 20 lines later, Prince yields and turns to his nurse. "We'd uh, better get the shovels, Polly." He's referring to the somewhat urgent task of finding and digging up his little daughter whom some mysterious body has planted a bit prematurely in the cemetery. (She's still alive.) It's nighttime; he has only five hours to do it in and the scenarist, Robb White, is no help at all; he keeps interrupting the proceedings with long, flat, dramatically unrelated flashbacks about the doctor's two deceased wives, Joan Collins will play the role of the marriage wrecker who's hot on the trail of Paul Newman in "Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys" for Leo McCarey and 20th Century-Fox. I'm wondering if she'll wear her new diamond necklace.

Speaking of diamonds, my heart bleeds for Ginger Rogers; she just bought her own Said she, "When I was young I was too poor to have anything but a chip; I got fed up seeing my pals sporting their rocks so I bought HOLLYWOOD'S GREATEST SHOCKER!

WILLIAM HOLDEN CtNCMACOIC TCCMISHCOLOR THE ON THE Jean Simmons one" Silly girl Ginger tells me George Guinle and Pignatari want to rent her hilltop home this fall. Why not, since she's around in it alone? Jean Simmons turned down the feminine lead in "Devil's Disciple" with Larry Olivier, Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.

She doesn't want to spend the summer in England; she wants to stay on their ranch with husband and their children. Incidentally, Mary Grant is design-t ing costumes for "Disciple." John Gavin and Lana Turner are testing togeth-' er today to see if he looks old enough to play opposite her in "Imitation of Life." He's also reading script of "Beach Boy" for Columbia.

They got a special bonus for letting their beards and hair grow long. When rains came, which they frequently did, they tangled with British and staged their own Olympic games. The Norwegians excelled in heft; the British in agility. Tony Curtis, who arrived here 10 years ago, is set to make a million this year. Jeff Chandler bought the house the Curtises just left.

ON THE WIRE A wire from Mark Rob-son anent Robert Donat: "He had five weeks shooting in 'Inn of the 6th Happiness' so they scheduled all scenes around him. On the last day after final scene he collapsed but not from asthma. He suffered a spasm somewhat like our President had a year or so ago." Hugh O'Brian tells me he's not at all unhappy with Wyatt Earp; he loves the role and likes doing it. He's trying to buy an interest in it so he can have a capital gain. You can't kill a man for trying.

Milton Berle has some night-club dates before beginning his TV show 9 p.m. Wednesdays in color for Kraft on NBC in October. He goes to Reno, theatrically only, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Atlantic City.
