VERA ELLEN DANCES
Wl F. ASTAIRE IN
CAPITOL ATTRACTION
I -
At one time, the height of Vera
I Ellen's ambitions was to dance on
the screen with Gene Kelly. She
got her chance in "Words and Mu
sic” and again in "On the Town.”
Then she wondered if it would be
too much to hope for to dance with
Fred Astaire. She recently realized
that ambition as well in "Three
Little Words,” M-G-M's big Techni
color musical based on the lives
and songs of Bert Kalmar and
Harry Ruby.
"Now there's nothing left to hope
for except one thing—to dance with
them both in the same movie,” says
Vera-Ellen. “And I've got news for
you. I'm working on that right now!”
Vera-Ellen got the dancing habit
when she was all of nine years old.
That was when her mother was told
by teachers that her daughter would
turn into a book-worm unless she
spent more time at some exercise.
She became the star pupil at a Cin
cinnati dancing school and by the
time she was sixteen had danced
before almost every fraternal, char
itable and service organization in
Ohio and Kentucky. When the
Dancing Teachers of America made
her a delegate to their New York
convention, Vera-Ellen decided to
stay on and to make dancing her
life work.
After her discovery by Major
Bowes, she worked with Ted Lewis
and Billy Rose and then in such
broad way musicals as ■'Very Warnl
for May,” "Higher and Higher,"
"Panama Kattie.” "By Jupiter” and
“The Connecticut Yankee.”
She made her Hollywood debut
in "Wonder Man" and followed with
“The Kid from Brooklyn” with
Danny Kaye. Then came “Words
and Music,” "On the lown” and
a long-term M-G-M contract.

RELEASED AFTER
16 YRS. IN ASYLUM
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19 — M —
I Gilford J. Kriska, 27, an Alaskan
Indian, was ordered relesed yester
day from St. Elizabeth's hospital
here, 16 years after he was ruled
insane.
District Judge Edward M. Curran
ruled that Kriska should be freed

His attorney, Louis Lebowitz, said

a job as plumber’s helper.
I Testimony brought out that

fishing village of Nulato, Alaska, to
find out why he had been fighting
with other boys.
Krisk was declared insane and
sent to a hospital in Portland, Ore.
On several occasions, he escaped.
Kriska wanted to join the Army in
1944 and it was found that his in
! telligence quotient was 10 percent

Kriska was transferred to St.
Elizabeth's hospital a year later.

HOPE ROMANCES
RUSSELL TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY;
Bob Hope, whose biggest romantic
film problem to date has been win
ning Dorothy Lamour away from
Bing Crosby, has a bigger one on his
hands in his current laugh riot, a
Technicolor spectacle of the old
west, "The Paleface."
Not only does he fall in love with
the hard-to-handle beauty of the
wide open spaces. Calamity Jane, in
the lush person of Jane Russell, but
to win her love Bob has to spirit her
away, somehow, from the blood
thirsty Indians who hold her cap
tive. Considering the fact that Hope
plays a timid dentist scared of his
own shadow, he is faced with pull
ing the neatest trick of the movie
year.
“The Paleface,” now showing at
Gross 20th Century Theatre, gives
Hope an opportunity to break into
an entirely new field of film action
for him—America’s beloved Western.
It gives him a chance to emulate
those stalwart exponents of Western
heroes—Gary Cooper, John Wayne,
Randolph Scott, etc. And his way
of interpreting them results in a
really riotous performance and one
which critics believe to be his fun
niest.
