CHIT-CHAT
By BOB THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD— UP) —One of
the thinr?s that makes you wonder
about Hollywood is the removal
of Paul Draper from the Irving
Berlin musical, “Blue Skies.”
Draper spent months testing
and rehearsing dance routines.
After a week of shooting with
Ring Crosby and Joan Caulfield,
the dancer was removed from the
picture and replaced by Fred As
taire. The movie minds decided
Draper’s attempt to control his
speech impediment caused a
strain on his acting ability.
The casual observer wonders
why tests beforehand could not
have saved the 8100,000 in re
takes. As well as considerable
heartbreak on Draper’s part.
Eddie Cantor will have a musi
1 cal show, “Nellie Bly,” on Broad
way th:s fall. It will star Victor
Moore, William Gaxton, and Mar
i ilvn Maxwell, and Cantor will
|
j only produce. He doubts if he’ll
ever return to the stage. . . .Para
i mount and 20th Century-Fox had
I a battle over the right to use the
song, “Sentimental Journey,” as
the title of a picture. Should we
tell them the title was Laurence
Sterne’s for a novel of that name
in 1768? . . . Whenever she gets
tired of Baby Snooks, Fanny Brice
has another character up her
sleeve. She won’t tell what it is.
Lt. Marvin Lee writes after a
showing of “Kiss and Tell” at
Camp Chaffee. Ark.: “I’ve never
seen a GI audience show more en
thus’asm for a show in my life,
not even overseas.” . . . The Shir
ley Tomnle vehicle suffered the
censor’s scissors in Chicago.
Arkansas is irate about “Over
21,” in which a mythical Crocker
Field in that state is described as
being “20 miles from nowhere”
and “in a swamp.” Some factions
want the picture banned. . . .
Anne Baxter is the champ traffic
ticket winner of Hollywood. She
claims she is always in a hurry.
. . . Despite her reputation for be
ing “difficu’t,” everything is
lovey-dovey with Joan Fontaine
in “All Brides Are Beautiful.”
, Ralph Edwards, the “Truth or
rnnsenuenc''s” cut-un, is the lat
est radio personality to settle in
Hollywood . . . Van Johnson near
ly lost his shoes when an usher
carried them out to be shined dur
ing a radio rehearsal. A crowd of
bobby-soxers at the stage door al
m^t wrested them away. . . .
Exhibitors are keeping their fin
gers crossed, wondering how long
the box office boom can last. . . .
Recent returnees to the actor’s
life: Ronald Reagan, William Hol
den and Robert Sterling. The lead
ing man business may soon be
overcrowded. . . . Latest title of
the Gable-Garson starrer is just
n’ain “Adventure.” Formerly it
has been “Big Shore Leave” and
“This Strange Adventure.” Heaven
’ nows what it will be next week.
