" and Danny; Scholl, singing star of "Top Banana," is being , interviewed for the part^of Curly. This makes news because the picture is being shot in yet a new screen process called magna. The film used will be 65 millimeters wi$e rather .than the usual 35. This method is expected to eliminate the blur and fuzziness sometimes evident in other wide screen processes. The company producing the picture is headed by notable show business names: Joe Schenck, Mike Todd, Oscar Hammerstein, Richard Rodgers, and Arthur Hornblow Jr. . . . Teresa Wright will go to England next month for a picture titled " Monsieur Ripois," which has as its male star the French actor Gerard Philipe. Both Glynis Johns and Ann.-Toddalso will likely be in the film. Teresa tells us it's an episodic picture dealing with the women in the life of one man. She's thrilled pink at the script. THE CAST and crew of "River of No Return" will have fcb live on a train during its entire shooting schedule in Alberta. The roads in the location are so bad that motor vehicles can scarcely get over them, but the railway runs ! within a few miles of the spots where the picture will be made. ...

Of course I don't think he laid an egg at any time in his life and he certainly isn't going to do so at the Sahara. They were forced to put 110 more seats in the big dining room and it's a sellout for the next week.
