Going "all out" for authenticity, the producers engaged a noted eye speclalfst to design special contact lenses for Andrews opaque, ol all things! As a result of this ahenanigan.

the hapless Mr. Andrews, once the lenses are fitted to his orbs, can distinguish only ligbt and shadow as he goes about his daily "Night Song" duties. Merle Oberon, who, plays Andrews' ever-loving lass in the picture, has to be his "Seeing Eye" dog andj leads him hither and yon through all his trying scenes. Furthermore, the poor fellow has to play the piano and he can't read a Bute of music. Max Rablnowitch, noted concert pianist, took Andrews hand in hand and taught the "blind" man some nifty fingering that will-probably bamboozle every film fan who sees the tricky exhibition on the screen.

One-Eyed Villains. Yen a man is blind in both eyes, he attracts sympathy. When he's blind In only one eye, he's usually a villain on the screen, that is. In "Joan of In grid Bergman's pretentious Technicolor' production of her big Broadway stage sue- cess, J. Carroll Naish plays "naisty" character, John of Luxembourg, one-eyed rat who sells the Maid of Orleans to the English for 10,000.

The act is reprehensible, and the -price is obviously too low for such a lovely lady as Ingrid Berg-'man, no matter what the rate of exchange. Howard da Silva. also goes beaming evilly through one "glim" in "Your Red His part is that of a vicious killer and his machinations make the sound stage life practically unbearable for Cathy O'Donnell and Farley Granger.
