U. 5. TEAMING Joan Fontaine and Arturo de Cordova is an instance of perfect casting. De Cordova's plctures'for three' consecutive years won" the award in Mexico which is comparable to the Academy Oscar. He if an actor whose personality and talents gave him top billing throughout Latin America.

For his first starring role in a Hollywood production, it was only right that he should be cast opposite an actress of stellar im-v portar.ee. Miss Fontaine, herself an Academy Award winner, was the. perfect choice. Her suave blonde type of beauty contrasts tuperbly with the dynamic personality of the handsome Latin. Her clipped English accent makes more mellow his warm, passionate voice.

Her poise and hauteur are the perfect complement to his reckless, swashbuckling, impersonation of the pirate role he plays in the Mitchell Leisen production, "Frenchman's which is now playing at the Capitol Theatre. It is hoped that these two great stars will be teamed again, for their performances in "Frenchman's Creek" are such that audience? both in this country and South America will demand that 1 4 3 A 3 4- .4 4 i i i TUC if-NCA I TO BE TOWAS i THE TEKKlSLE AMO NOU CHASE -m i Mil)' vw OME?

The day before, the musicians had spent rehearsing band numbers and that; night they had -opened at the Palladium, dance hall, they'd blown their brains' out until one o'clock in morning.

Thus it was a sad-sack outfit that reported for the cameras. But Director Prinz had thought ahead. The moment the bandsmen arrived he ordered to bed on 24 cot he had provided at the rear of the set. Then, while they caught some much-needed rest, he put Jane Wyman and Jack Carson through a dance-re- hearsal for a couple of hours. For remainder of the day, Dorsey's boys were allowed to sleep between camera set-ups.
