As June Allyson's Lover in "Battle Circus, He Looked More Like Her Father, Other Comment on Never Wave at a WAC't By MARGARET BEAN Here I go again, talking about Hollywood. But I have a pretty good excuse. On an August day, last summer, I spent a morning on an RK0 set watching Rosalind Russell, Paul Douglas, Marie Wilson and William Ching at work on a scene in "Never Wave at a WAC," which recently showed at the Fox.

And, also, I spent another morning watching June Allyson and Humphrey Bogart do their make-believe at the Korean front in "Battle It was a recent picture at the Granada. Consequently, it was most Interesting to me to compare set impressions with picture reality. Coming as the next attraction Is another historical western, "Pony Express," in Technicolor, with Charlton Heston, Rhonda Fleming, Jan Sterling and Forrest Tucker. Scenes take place In 1860, just before the Civil war, and concern the development of the first transcontinental mail route across the nation. Heston portrays Buffalo Bill Cody, with Tucker playing Wild Bill Hickok.

Second feature is a Bugs Bunny revue. 4( "Woman They Almost Lynched" Starts WEDNESDAY! Granada The Technicolor western, "The Lone Hand," with Joel McCrea, Barbara Hale and Alex Nicol, is showing. The picture concerns a man and his small son who move west to their new home. Scenes were filmed in the Colorado Rockies. Others in the cast are Charles Drake, Jimmy Hunt and Jim Second on the bill is "Frolics on Ice." Another western, 'Fort Vengeance," in color, with James Craig, Rita Moreno and Keith Larsen, will open this week.

The adventure film concerns a trooper in the Canadian Mounties, ent to battle the Blackfoot and Sioux Indians. Trail Blazers" is the second feature. 1 wACTION We, who sit out front, have little Idea of how hard picturemakers work in creating a film. It is a grinding and meticulous job, as I learned in getting a glimpse of it last summer. For instance, it took three hours, the morning I was watching Miss Russell at work, to film one little scene that was nothing but flash footage when I saw It in "Never Wave at a It was a scene in an army truck, wherein, among other WACs, she stood beside Marie Wilson, as a dumb blond WAC All she had to do was to shout to a passing soldier and hand him a note asking him to deliver it to her officer friend.

It could hardly be called an acting chore and yet it took three hours to film that simple scene before the director, Norman McLeod, said "Print it." It was also interesting to me to see the way it was fitted into the other footage. The truck was on the studio floor and built on rockers. And while Miss Russell said her lines. studio crewmen rocked it to simulate the motion of the truck. And behind it a motion picture showing Fort Lee, scenery was being run off to indicate movement of the truck.

The WAC scenes were all made at the lady-soldier training base. But the scene I saw made in Hollywood fitted neatly into the Fort Lee scene in the picture which showed the truck filled with WACs rolling down a Fort Lee road: Another scene which interested me was the one which showed the reception in the star's home as a Washington hostessone of those "hostesses with the mostest." It was an extremely handsome room Vb AM) Pacific coast. Charleton Heston, above, plays Buffalo Bill and Forest Tucker, Wild Bill Hickok. Titian-haired Rhonda Fleming and blue-eyed Jan Sterling hold up the distaff side. HISTORY-PACKED DRAMAIt is "Peny Express," due at the Orpheum next, and tells the stirring saga of the communication link gallant men forged between Missouri and the DRAMA Fox Opening on today's program is the Irving Berlin musical, "Call Me Madam," starring Ethel Merman, O'Connor, Vera Ellen and 1George Sanders.

The Technicolor picture, based on the stage musical, is about a woman ambassador to a mythical European kingdom. Miss Merman, who appears as Mrs. Sally Adams, American ambassador to the grand duchy of Lichtenberg, carries the same role she had in the stage production. The story and the music remains the same as in the stage production but special dance sequences have been added to the film version. In the film Sanders carries his first singing role and Miss Merman returns to the screen after a 13-year absence.

The play chalked up a two-year performance on the New York stage before it was made into a movie. Berlin songs in the production include "Hostess With the Mostes' on the Ball," "It's a Lovely Day Today," and "Marrying for Love." Companion picture is "The Silver with Dale Robertson, Post ''Fair Wind to Java." based on a story by Garland Roark, who wrote "Wake of the Red Witch," Is now showing. Filmed in Trucolor, the picture stars Fred Mac Murray, Vera Ralston, Robert Douglas, Victor McLaglen and John Russell. Scenes were filmed in the South Seas, the setting for the sea adventure story.

Songs include "Take Me to Broadway," "The Fellow I'd Follow," and "I Gotta Hear That Beat." Nat King Cole sings "My Flaming Heart" in one scene.

"Code Two," with Ralph Meeker and Elaine Stewart, is the second feature. State Currently featured is a historical western, "Ambush at Tomahawk Gap," with John Hodiak, David Brian and John Derek. The picture, in Technicolor, concerns early day battles between the Apache Indians and the United States cavalry. Second feature is "The Forty-ninth Man," with John Ireland and Richard Denning.

Second on the program Is the reissue, "Yellow Sky," with Gregory Peck. 1 I II 1, a .0 a FILM GLORIFIES CANADIAN RED COATS THE MAN WITH THE NAME THAT NOBODY 1. 0.1 KNEW! Spokane Man Cast 1111V in Centennial Play Ferris Albers, former Spokane business man and, for five head of the Spokane chapter of rA the National Foundation for In-1 fantile Paralysis, has been given the leading role in the official state centennial play. The play is I an original production by the ik Abbey theater, entitled "Eliza and In the Lumberjack." People of Spokane will remem- -41( ber Albers for his work with the Spokane Opera association.

I visited that set to look over the handsome drawing room that morning as it was quite a story. It was a drawing room of stately English dignity, which came from England, and was. oak-panelled with handsomely carved moldings, The carvings around the doors and windows were stunning.

It seems that the picture's are director, William Flannery, bought the room in lEngland a few months before. It was years old and covered with layers of paint. He had the room dismantled, shipped to this country, the paint removed from the oak and there it was in its original magnificence. Once it had been used for Miss Russell's elegant picture-scene soiree, he was having installed in a beautiful home he was building. But in seeing it in the picture, I discovered the room was too crowded to allow its real beauty to be seen.

And now to "Battle great sound stage, at Metro, where the picture was being filmed, had been turned into Korea. It was ankle deep in earth. A cyclorama. which backgrounded the tented scene, let you look miles into the distance. And there was a helicopter fluttering up and down the stage.

On the stage, as I viewed it, It all looked make-believe. In the picture, it looked like a real Korea. It is surely amazing how lights and camera magic can turn the phony into the real. But this much is certainall the magic of studio lights and the tricks of the camera can't Make Humphrey Bogart young again. He passed his days of being a lover a long time ago but the studios keep him doing romantic roles.

He is the intrepid surgeon hero of "Battleground," a story of work of the medical units in Korea, and June Allyson is the nurse who falls in love with him, Miss Allyson is on fire with life. She gives you more of an impression of her tremendous vitality, in meeting her, than on the screen and that is plenty. But Humphrey Bogart, he looks his 50 or more years. He is faded. His face is deeply lined.

He gave me the impression of being pretty blase. And he was the man with whom the story's heroine fell in love while a whole army of young' men were running around the place. Mr. Bogart looked like June Allyson's father, not a men who could inspire an undying love, But there he was, once again. doing the heavy romantic stuff that a younger man should do.

I'm all for having the star put on the pension list as a lover and moved into character roles. That's where he belongs. Make-believe is make-believe but we out front can no longer make-believe that Humphrey Bogart is a romantic lover. He has had his day. star ut lover and is.

NBC Mai Buy IlY Warner's iSthdio By HEROLD HEFFERNAN HOLLYWOOD, April 15.Television's first outright acquisition of a major motion-picture company looms strongly as reports persisted that the National Broadcasting company network was hurrying negotiations with Warner Brothers for the purchase of its studio properties in Burbank.
