if Capitol Brown and Can A Starring Famed Hollywood Comedians, Will Open Showing Here Tomorrow Midnight This, of course, is only one of the many problems connected with the production of a motion picture. Producer William Perlberg could go on like this for hours but the fact remains that when the picture is completed all the effort that went into it was more than worthwhile. This is especially true in the case of "Coney Island," a top-notch show.

When the number was considered ready by Dance Director Hermes Pan, the cast was moved to the stage where the real set had been built. Here a camera had been mounted on a boom some 50 feet in the air and rehearsals started all over again. This was to allow the camera to line up its shots and get the girls accustomed to their costumes. From here on it was a matter of almost a week to complete the filming of the sequence a sequence that takes a bare 15 minutes in the picture.

Constance Dowling got to Hollywood the hard way, working first as a chorus girl at the Paradise night club in New York, on the Al Jolson show, "Hold On to Your Hats." as understudy for Virginia Field and Phyllis Brooks in "Panama Hattie" and as an usherette.

"I had been studying dramatics at Wadleigh High School and taking dancing lessons on the side," she said. "I was determined the theatre was for me. I went to the Paradise, lied about my age and got a Job as a chorus girl to pay for more dramatic lessons." Constance knew her mother would not approve of the Paradise, so she built up an elaborate story about working nights as a telephone operator. The hoax worked for almost a year until a friend of her mother's happened look up from his salad at the club one night and there was Constance giving with all her might on the dance floor. That ended her night club career.

MORE WALK-ONS Next she went to work as an usherette at the Belasco theatre in New York. When Irwin Shaw produced "Quiet City," he gave her a walk-on role. But the play folded in two weeks. Then she did a walk-on and understudied Joan Tetzel in "Lilliom," returned to the chorus in the Jolson show, did a couple of other dramatic walk-ons in flop plays and then attracted the attention of Goldwyn's New York scouts, and won a film contract, in the American Actors' Company experimental play, "Only the Heart," at the Provincetown Theatre. As we said, Constance will make her film debut with very little acting to do in "Up in Arms." And she hopes Papa Goldwyn is right when he says everything will be all right in technicolor.

Blond, loTely and 21, Constance is Producer Samuel Goldwyn's latest discovery. She's being bally-hooed as a triple-threat girl by Mr.

Goldwyn's press agents "she can sing, she can dance and she can act." But in her first picture, "Up in Arms," Constance Dowling, the triple-threat girl, will not sing. She will not dance, and she will not act. Hie reason for her confusion. "It's really not much of a role," she explains. "I'm the romantic feminine lead.

But there's really very little acting to do. Dinah Shore all the singing. Danny Kaye Ones the dancing. Dana Andrews and I have a little romance, but it doesn't amount to much." "But that screen test we saw," we said. "You're a very fine actress." "I know," she said.

"I went to Mr. Goldwyn and told him I was a little confused. The build-up and everything. But he said not to worry. It's a charming, simple role, he said.

He told me, 'We'll let the public discover you instead of pushing you down their And don't forget, he said, the picture is in technicolor. 'You will be beautiful in technicolor.

Is Currently Unreeling on Screen of Local Theatre Not since the lavish production of "Pan American Jubilee" in "Springtime in the Rockies" has Hollywood seen a musical number that compares with the finale of the new 20th Century-Pox filmu-sical, "Coney Island." This technicolor hit stars Betty Grable, George Montgomery and Cesar Romero, now at the Victoria Theatre. Titled "There's Danger in a Dance," the number was written by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger, famed tunesmiths, and was four weeks in the making. The studio placed an unstinted, except for government restrictions, budget on the production number, allowing Betty Grable and the chorus plenty of rehearsal and actual shooting time for the intricate and elaborate routine. After preliminary rehearsals were completed, the dancers and Betty were moved to a separate stage, a duplicate of the one where the perfected scene would go before the camera. It was here that the company rehearsed daily for a solid month.

And young lass who imagines that the life of a film star is all peaches and cream "would have received a rude awakening had, she visited Betty Grable on this stage.

M. JULY 5 TO 10 High School Field IN HIS WALK OF DEATH GARDEN STATE SHOWS SPONSORED BY MAINE FIRE COMPANY i Coal Township -Featuring- THE GREAT LEON One of the happiest combines that has ever come out of Hollywood is the co-starring team of Joe E. Brown and Judy Canova, whose latest opus for Republic, "Chatterbox," is opening tomorrow night at the Capitol Theatre. Hilariously funny when appearing singly, they are a veritable earthquake of merriment as a co-starring attraction, and "Chatterbox," based on an agreeably wacky premise, is an ideal vehicle for their talents. With a dude ranch background, the story takes Joe and Judy through a series of merry adventures and misadventures which are guaranteed to make any onlooker howl with mirth.

Joe is a radio cowboy who has never been on a horse. Judy is a slavey on the dude ranch which is the scene of Joe's introduction to the working press of Hollywood as a picture star. As a radio cowboy, Joe's life was comparatively simple; the hoofbeats of his horse galloping fearlessly over the mesas was purely a problem of the sound effects man. But as a movie cowboy, where all of his daring must be presented in terms of action on a silver screen, Joe was a distinct disadvantage, and only Miss Canova can match his ability to get into side-splitting scrapes. Rosemary Lane and John Hubbard do extremely well in the romantic leads, and their performances are to be most heartily recommended.

Anne Jeffrys is a stand out in her small role, and Chester Clute, Emmett Vogan and Gus Schilling likewise turn in creditable performances. CAPITOL POSITIVELY LAST DAY uno a KULPMONT HIT NO.
