/"'kN COLUMBIA’S "Ap-
V-/ pointment in. Berlin” set:
George Sanders, pretending
to be a traitor for his coun-
try’s sake, is under arrest:
the bit player charged with
handcuffing him bursts
through • a door and tries to
wrap the steel bracelets
around Sanders’ wrists. Tries
again and again and can't get them
to claap. “You’re not putting mit-
tens on a baby I” Director A1 Green
cries at last. “You act as if you
were afraid of hurting Mr. Sanders.'*
The bit player looks sheepish, and
Sanders pulls his sleeves back from
his bruised and bleeding wrists.
“Really, you’re being a bit hard on
the fellow,” says he. “He has tried
it the other way, you know.”

Claire Trevor scored in radio on
the “Big Town" series with Edward
G. Robinson several years ago,
thereby giving her screen career a

again, on the "Mayor of the Town”
series Wednesday nights with Lionel
Barrymore.

Two ex-choir singers kept the set
of Paramount's “True to Life" filled
with music. They were Mary Mar-
tin and Dick Powell, both of whom
began their musical careers singing
hymns in the home-town church.
They sang in their dressing rooms
and on the set; just couldn't seem to
stop. When they weren't singing
the music written for the picture
they were rehearsing songs for their
radio shows. The tunes for the pic-
ture were written by Johnny Mer-
cer and Hogy Carmichael; no won-
der the stars couldn't stop singing I

after concluding her run in her

"TUh.”
George Reeves spent four years
MruggUng through small roles in big
pictures, hoping for the break that
would boost him to the top. He got
it, opposite Claudette Colbert in “So
Proudly We Hail"—and was induct-
ed into the army when the picture
was finished.

Way, way back Universal decided
to follow its hilarious “My Man God-
frey” with “My Girl Godfrey," with
Carole Lombard in the title role.
Now it's scheduled again, with
Deanna Durbin starring, along with
Franchot Tone and Pat O’Brien.
You’ll have to see “Stars In the
Service” if you yearn to see what
your favorite movie heroes are up to
la the armed forces. It -will be the
Irst release ef the 23rd yesr of Co-
lombia's “Screen Snapshots,” and
will present virtually every male
star and featured player who Is In
uniform. It was made by Ralph
SUuh—it’s the 565th short he’s pro-
duced, directed and photographed.

Ray Noble, of the Edgar Bergen-
Charlie McCarthy air show, is ex-
cited over the announcement that
Warner Bros, will produce a picture
named for Ray's tune, “The Very
Thought of You”; he wrote it in
1934, and it’s still popular. It will
be spotted in the same manner as
“As Time Goes By” was spotlighted
so successfully in "Casablanca."

The Andrews Sisters will return
to radio on June 30, when they will
be guest stars on Morton Gould’s
Carnival over CBS. Having finished
the Hollywood chore for Universal—
which they didn’t want to do—
they're glad to be coming back, even
though they’ve made so much money
already this year that they’ll have
to give their radio salariea right
back to Uncle Sami

In the Navy a floor is a “deck,”
doors are “bulkheads,” down-
stairs is “below,” and a cigarette
is a “Camel.” At least, Camel is
the favorite cigarette among Navy
men, as it is among men in the
Army, Marines, and Coast Guard.
(Based on actual sales records
from service men's stores.) And
a carton of Camels is a favorite
gift. Though there are now Post
Office restrictions on packages to
overseas Army men, you can still
send Camels to soldiers in the
U. S., and to men in the Navy,
Marines, and Coast Guard wher-
ever they are.—Adv.

Hibernating Animals
When animals are in a state of
hibernation they are only a step
or two from death. Their heart
beat is very slow, their body tem-
perature falls way below normal,
and their breathing is not percep-
tible by ordinary means. If you
dig up a ground squirrel in hiber-
nation, you can shake it, pinch it,
drop it on the table, even stick it
with pins, and it will remain as
limp as though dead. Only fairly
long exposure to warmth will re-
vive the rodent.
