Zanuck's production of "No Way Out" for Twentieth Century-Fox holds a promise of adult entertainment comparable to feyr pictures of the past and a prospect of courageous picture-making resembling none, according to atudlo officials. The new film showing at Grau-man's Chinese Theater Is being hailed In its engagements elsewhere by theater exhibitors as leading Academy Award contender of the present year.

The gorgeous Arlene was aked point blank how she managed to kep her face that way. "Plenty of collage cheese and quarts of milk every day," she replied. She doesn't smoke, either, and seldom takes an alcoholic drink. Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr and 200 members of the "Quo Vadls cast sat down to a Nero banquet scene that M-G-M historians guarantee was an exact replica of one staged by the Roman Emperor. And because of Technicolor and many closeups, the real viands had to be pro-ouced.

Bob Hope Flop As Gent's Gent six well-known operas and six of the tin-pan alley variety, the picture will not be remembered for its musirnl excellence. It is, in fact, one of the poorest of a large number of good ones turned out by Producer Joe Pasternak and Director Norman Taurog. Moviegoers are not much concerned about the story of a musical film.

This one shows Lanza as a rough and ready, barrel-chested shrimp fisherman of the Louisiana bayous. He likes to sing and Indulge in horseplay while he- and Carrol Naish, his screen uncle, fish for shrimp. Fish Fleet Fete While attending the colorful fishing fleet festival, Lanza meets Miss Grayson playing the role of a New Orleans Opera Co. star. At first Miss Grayson wants nothing to do with the happy-go-lucky young shrimpqr, but their mutual Inlerest In singing and the influence of David Niven, who is cast as an opera producer, the brash young man is transformed Into tenor full of chivalry and love for Miss Grayson.

So many drums have been beaten about Lanza's singing ability that we exacted a far more polished voice than he displayed in this film. In the pre-microphone days he undoubtedly would have been colossal In the Hollywood Bowl, a football stadium or a large concert hall. But when using the microphone the power of his voice zoom and booms so loudly that at times It Is almost unbearable. It doesn't sound as musical or as effective as when Lanza made his debut In the Hollywood Bowl. I-ovely Vole In pianissimo passages, not often heard, he exhibits a remaikably true to ton and lovely voice.

When he turns on the power, evidently what pleases him, the tone Is harsh and almost ear crashing. Regardless of W'hat ha been written about this young man's voice, It Isn't, not by a long stretch of the musirnl Imagination, the world's best tenor. Hit articulation it ter rible and he need careful training In the cinema arts. If, at some experts claim, clothes do as much "acting" as any thes-plan horn, then Miss Grayson la a sensation.
