Bill'Bedtime for
Bonzo' is Shewing,
Capitol Theatre
"We were murdered. We were up
staged by a chimpanzee!”
Ronald Reagan and Diana Lynn
are the only two Hollywood stars who
can make that statement They were
upstaged during the filming' of
Universal-International’s new com
edy hit, "Bedtime for Bonzo.” by a
talented five-year-old chimp actcr
named Bonzo.
The new release, directed by Fred
erick de Cordova and produced by
Michel Kraike, opened yesterday a;
the Capitol Theatre.
Bonzo was never content, during
the entire filming of the comedy,
to remain in the background even
though the script action called for
such a position before the cameras.
"For instance,” according to Rea
gan and Miss Lynn, "there was the
time we were filming a love scene
Wc took our places before the cam
eras and prepared for a tendei
.clinch.
“Director de Cordova had rehears
ed the scene with Bonn in the
background—merely as an onlooker
But when the cameras started grind
ing cenzo was in on the clo.e-up.
What a ham!”
Many Hollywood stars are noted
for their outbursts of temperament
but Bonzo threw an entirely new
iight on the subject of blowing-up.
