Thursday, Fri- '9’ Mercury Production Glenn Ford “It’s about time too,", she exclaimed. “I wear modem clothes, kiss anyone 1 wish and get into the kind of trouble that results in complications and laughter.” The nature of the new picture is best understood from the presence of Alex- ander Hall as director. Noted for his fast-moving, sophisticated romantic comedies. Hall moved into the exclu- sive inner cincle of movie-tawn’ s comedy megaphoners with “This Thing Called Love”. “Here Comes Mr. Jordan” and “Bedtime Story." Miss Crawford is frank in saying that she is in the kind of role she has wanted to play for moré 'lthan four years. She is happy to return to light romance. ' "I play some real love ‘scenes in this picture” she raved. “The modern thea- tre public is begging for romance and we give it to ’em in ‘They All Kissed The Bride.’ There are exactly 73 kiss scenes in the film and they’ re the kind that created Great Lovers in the old days.” The star is also looking to the future She is entirely serious in her plans. to become a motion picture producer. “I have an understanding with Louis B. Mayer, my boss, that I should be given a chance to produce pictures at M-G-M. ,He agreed, with the proviso that I also continue acting. The way it shapes up now, I’ll produce a pic- ture. then act in one ” Miss Crawford, like so many other movie celebrities, has entered whole- heartedly into war work. :In addition to entertaining the boys in camp, she is knitting two regulation Navy scarves, ‘56 inches in length, every day. She is so anxious to keep this activity boom- ing that she purchased woolen yarn for every woman working on the set and has them all knitting. Booth Tarkington’s Pulitzer Prize Novel on the Screen Bringing Booth Tarkington’s Pulit- zer-Prize winning novel of changing fortuntes and shifting social conditions in a Mid-West city to the screen in stirring fashion, “The Magnificent Am- bersons” marks Orson Welles' second film production. This notable film will be at the Broadway theatre starting after Midnight Sunday, August 24th. A brilliant cast headed by Joseph ‘Cotten, Dolores Costello and Tlm Holt is featured in the offering which, pro- ducer, directed and scenarized by Welles is said to be an unusual and absorbing film in a totally dlflerent field from his earner “Citizen Kane" .___â€"_ The plot deals with the growth of day and Saturday.

Evelyn Keyes little Indiana town, and “what happens to itand to its inhabitants when the smoking factories of the ‘Nineties re- place the flelds and orchards around it. Old Major Amberson is the most im- portant man in town, and his daugh- ter Isabel is its undisputed social lead- er, ruling the hugely ornate Amberson Mansion in regal style. Isabel throws over talented Eugene Morgan to marry the uninspiring Wilbur Minafer, and Eugene leaves town. Isabel’s son George grows up to be: a spoiled arrogrant brat; twenty years later he is insufferable. Eugene re- turns, a widower with a lovely daugh- ter, Lucy, and builds a plant to make horseless carriages. George scoffs at this example of modern industrialism. When- Wilbur dies the two former lsweethearts console one another, and George is horrified to learn that his mother plans to marry Eugene, whom he thinks an upstart. ' . t George forces the weak-willed Isabel to abandon her plan. He takes her abroad. Eugene’ 5 business prospers, but the Amberson fortunes decrease; fand when Isabel finally comes home to die and is soon followed by the old Major, George suddenly finds he is pen- niless and forgotten. How he strives to redeem his wasted life and to make amends for the injury he had done Eugenq and Lucy, forms the dramatic conclusion to the .picture. Young Holt has the role of George and Gotten that of the faithful Eugene with Miss Costello as Isabel. Anne Baxter as Lucy, Richard Bennett as the ‘Major, Agnes Moorehead as Isabel’s gslster-in-law and Ray Collins as her ibrother, have the other principal roles in the ' offening; Erskine Sandford also featured. Lavish settings, not only of the luxu- rious Amberson home but also compris- ing whole blocks and streets of the community at different stages of its development, feature this film made for RKO Radio, and add to its en- ;grossing story. Many of the earliest “automobiles” extent were obtained and put into running order for these se- quences, which are said to be among the most realistic ever photographed.
