Never thought one lot would be big enough for two prima donnas and certainly Jeanette MacDonald has had the first call on M-G-M musicals. But that was before llona Massey came along in "Balalaika" a real box office hit. Now both singing beauties are going to get their share of the plums and after a frantic studio search for just the right thing for the blonde Massey, they've come up with "Incident in Java," the new title of "Port of Hope." Robert Taylor is already signed and set for the role of a young naval officer who falls in love with the beautiful singer 'in a Javanese cafe and with Bob in the co-starring spot there's sure to be plenty of romance as well as music.

Laurence Olivier, who essayed the gypsy with telling artistry in "Wuthering Heights," sheds that character as completely as" a butterfly its cocoon, to appear as the gentleman of leisure whom tragedy stalks in "Rebecca." Smooth and assured with occasional nervous explosions of temper that betray a distraught mind, his master of Manderley is as powerful as was his wild Heathcliffe. He reads and phrases with exceptional taste.
