She has been: given the much-discussed role of Olga in Miracle Of The Bells, and was loaned to Jesse Lasky by David weU Jrom past experience when Jesse Lasky shouting to Use high that he was going to take ais and make a star, that he uould settle lor an experienced actress. It never works out, believe me. An unknown maybe ever so beautiful, but w'Uioat dramatic training, it's too much of a. risk. YaKi play opposite Fred MacMurray.

This is one of the first pictures to be made in the American zone in Berlin, but not the first picture that RKO has made in Europe since the war.

In the new deal Charles Vidor has made with Columbia, he has no restrictions as to where he will make his pictures. He can make them at Columbia or at some other studio. He also has access to Columbia personalities. In the negotiations of the deal. Harry Conn stayed strictly out of everything.

Ben Kahane did all the talking for Columbia. I think everybody in Hollywood is very glad this feud is buried deep. Vidor will now be able to turn out top pictures; Columbia will benefit by them because they wilt release them, and there will be no more bitterness. Too ma-y fights in this troubled old world to Jet any perso'nal grievances wear you down. Chatter im.

While Dave Rose absolutely nothing to do with June Hater's break up her husband of three months. Jimmy Zito, June is continuing to see Rose secretly. Perhaps she goes to fcim for sympathy, ior she's unhappy oier ending of her marriage, but there isn't 2 chance zhat she and Zito will make up. The break between them ss too serious and presents a marital obstacle June ceesa't fee! she can cope with. Zno, meanwhile, is making every effort to get June to reconsider.

A special croquet court has been built and all the experts will be there to try their skill, and compete for honors, and believe me this is very serious.

Dial Beautiful Maureen O'Hara plays one of her most mnnsnal roles to date in Twentieth Century-Fox's Technicolor production. The Homestretch, which co-stars her with Cornel Wilde, at the State Theatre last times today. Maureen is seen as Leslie Hale, member of a dignified Boston family, who unwillingly allows herself to be propelled into tbe dizzy, haphazard life of the racing world. The modern role provides Miss O'Hara with a fashion holiday from period pictures. She has forty-one costume changes.

Cast Gives Dear Roth 100 at Knona PUy Dear Ruth, the Norman opus of delirious wartime love mix- ups, is the. third show of Morton DaCosta's Cragsmoor Players. The opening last night at the mountain playhouse proved the play (now that the cuteness of boys in uniform Hat passed) a little worn around tbe edges. The show, although it has many funny lines and situations, is dated. The players, in general, do a good job.

An opening-night audience of 100 found much to laugh over in the perplexing love affair of Ruth whose younger sister has been writing letters to an Air Forces lieutenant in Ruth's name. Ambrose and Dayton Lummis outstanding as the befuddled par- eats. Tbe stage set is as the; barn theatre has yet produced, Harold Barrows has dressed tbe; stage a gay and charming living room scene that forms a most ap- propriate background for the humorous cavorungs of Ruth and her family. Manssa O'Brien, who was seen in the opening production of Dream Girl, plays Ruth: and Stewart Long does an excellent job as the Ah- Forces pilot. Clay Flagg turns in a pleasing performance as a stuffy fiance who must stand by and watch bis girl stolen away.

Dear Ruth will be given each night this week through Sunday and will be followed next week by Payment Deferred with Mr. DaCosta in the starring S. V. RIDCEBDRT--There trill be no service or Sunday School at tbe Methodict Church Sumiajr, sixth or thirteenth. Serriott will be resumed-July tfentieth.
