SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE REGENT RICHARD WIDMARK COMING TO THER x Nn E As its title impli "The Frog- men," which opens next Wednesday at the Regent Theatre, is a strange and exciting film. Taking the little known story of the Underwater Demolition Teams of the Navy in World War II, Twentieth Century- Fox has fashioned a gripping pictur- ization of these intrepid "paddlefoot commandos' which is action-packed from start to finish. After sitting on the edge of the seat throughout the unfolding of this sea drama, it is easy to understand why Director Lloyd Bacon said, after three months of filming, that 'this is the rough- est screen work I have ever seen or dope." We certainly agree. The picture takes you into the wa- ter, under water and on the sea in telling the hazardous and gruelling tale of what these UDT men went through in spear-heading every Al- Jed invasion from Sicily to Okinawa. You'll cheer their bravery and you'll shiver at their exploits. The climax to this thrilling adventure, filmed in icturesque Bovini Bay in the Virgin Rstands, will practically blast you out of your seat with the intensity of its bombardment and fireworks. 'While the scene lasts only 62 seconds on the screen, it required two weeks to mine the bay by 25 real Navy frogmen who planted 90 cases of dy- namite and tons of TNT to give the spectacular effect. This is geal stuff and the care and work tHat went into the production of 'The Frog- men' is evident through every foot of this exciting picture, Richard Widmark has never been better than in his portrayal of the fearless commanding officer who personally leads his men on four sui- cide missions. Dana Andrews and Gary Merrill, who share starring honors with Widmark, are equally effective in thelr roles. All three give fire and excitement to John Tucker Battle's hard-hitting screenplay which was based on authentic war- exploits were among the best kept time incidents of the frogmen, whose secrets of the last war. Other mem- bers of the cast who should be given special mention are Jeffrey Hunter, Harvey Lembeck, Henry Slate, Bob Patten, Robert Wagner, Warren Stevens and Bob Adler. Walk, swim or dive your way to the Regent Theatre to see this one. PLAZA MODERN DAY STARS DROP CURTAIN ON FABLED ERA The Gilded Age of the old-time movie queen is gone. A couple of decades ago a top- ranking feminine star was usually jampered and thoroughly spoiled. 'oday, with hardly an exception, she's hard-working and democratic and absorbs the adoration of movie- struck fans without letting it' go to her head. Claudette Colbert, starring in Un- iversal-International's new suspense film, "Thunder on the Hill," opening Monday at the Plaza Theatre, could be set up as a good example of the modern day movie star. Miss Colbert starts her day by driving to the studio in her own car. Twenty years ago a movie queen would have no more driven her own car than she would have been seen on Hollywood Boulevard without a mink coat. The cars of the cinema sirens in those days were plush gold-plated affairs complete with built-in bars and chauffeurs dressed in comic op- era outfits. Claudette"s car is a 1947 model of a popular priced make. Very few stars have personal maids on the sets these days. In yes- teryears a movie queen without a maid to dress and undress her in the privacy of her dressing room was considered gauche to the ex- treme. Claudette dresses herself and sits around the set between scenes in a comfortable pair of slacks. This in ccntrast to the pampered belles of t e 20's who lived secluded lives in their plush dressing rooms, rarely emerging onto the set to make small + 'talk with the hired hands, All in all, the movie queens have grown up along with the movie in- ustry itself. The Gilded Age is over and everybody seems to agree that it's a turn for the better. Lovely Ann Blyth also stars with Claudette Colbert in "Thunder on the HiIl," directed by Douglas Sirk and produced by Michel Kraike, The film's large supporting cast is headed by Robert Douglas, Anne Crawford, Philip Friend, Gladys Cooper and Michael Pate, Australian character star. Two tubes at the back of the nose carry air into the middle ear to equalize pressure on either side. Violent blowing of the nose may Jorce infection into the ear through these tubes. Gentle blowing, one nostril at a time, will help to avoid impairment of the hearing through infectjon.
