BUSY Jimmy Stewart practically walks out of the "Glenn I Miller Story" into "Alder's ?√ß Guichs" which' is now calle<V'Far 1 Country." With that nice fat. percentage on his pic- t u r e s , Jimmy naturally enjoys working for Universal - International. '' He gets as. his co-star in "Far Country" Ruth Roman, and, incidentally, this is her first picture since she and Warner Brothers said adieu.' The same team that has made I all the Stewart pictures will be with him again. Borden Chase has scripted Ernest Haycok's I original story; Aaron Rosenberg I is the producer, and Tony Mann the director. The story is an adventure tale ? which has to do with murder, J Canada and the Alaska gold } fields. Irene Punne's comedy hit of i many moons ago, "Theodora Goes j Wild," has been taken out of wrappings at RKO with the idea of a remake. I'll tip you off that Judy Holli- 1 day is intended for the star part. Judy would like to make a second picture for Columbia as soon as rtehe finishes "A Name for Her- j self." She has a date on Broadway ufior "My Aunt Daisy" and once it gets going she'll probably be tied up for a long time, just as she I was in "Born Yesterday." J&*k 1 Instead of her usual "dumb" character, Judy plays a straight ! dramatic role with tragic overtones in "Daisy." * * *.. The idea that Paul Gregosy has for Van Johnson sounds like a natural.

What's!mpre/Vmlvie goers will be seeing rtorepfetier gams than her mod^ifctedM tributes?╟÷possibly becauslftf fie new dimensions in film^j^Feens. Nothing is safe in this 3-D revolution. Marie is in a class with Jane Russell and Dagmar, as far as the feminine form is concerned. Now she may be known as the cover-up girl. Frank Tashlin, who is directing Marie in "Marry?╟? Me- Again," shakes his head over the whole business. "Marie oomes in with lovely dresses," he told me, "but we have, to keep adding material on the toft That kind of outfit just won't pawi the censors these days. But therej& nothing wrong with legs, and Marie has good ones. We have several scenes in which she shows her legs ?╟÷in a hootchy-kootch outfit, bathing suit and other things." Audience Gets Closer View This strictness of decolletage may be due to the fact that th pitcure is being shot in the widj* Screen technique. This,-memo! takes in a lot more ^fffitory and gives the audience a closer look than did the old style of filming. Censors will no doubt be grateful] that "Marry Me Again" is not be-1 ing filme#in three dimensions as well. It was originally slated as a "depthie," but plans were dropped at the last minute. Whether Miss Wilson's form had, anything to do with the matter is not known. However, she is grateful that the film receives the wide - screen treatment. "Imagine me in a flat picture!" she says. Marie is getting to be a slightly frustrated girl. For seven years or more, she appeared in Ken Murray's blackouts on the stage, doing a totigue-in-cheek strip tease nightly. Her stand in the show revived her career and led to "My Friend Irma" and other successes. Now fStie /finds herself restricted inj films and TV too. Opens in Las Vegas "When I do a TV show, I have to face the camera all the time," she reported. "If I have a profile] shot, they just die! And the dresses have to be very conserva-j tive. But I think that was largely because of our sponsor. Next sea- :|on we'll have a new one and l| Hfon't think things will be so strict. "Here's the way I figure: They're buying one girl and selling her toj the public as something else." Marie isn't letting the grass i grow beneath her feet now thatij Irma is off TV and radio for thef summer. As soon as she finishes! her picture, she starts rehearsals for her night club act, which will open at the Sands in Las Vega^ Aug. 12.
