Having done "Act of Violence" and "The Naked Spur" at the latter studio, he's being brought back to costar with Greer Garson in "Miss Baker's Dozen." He'll play the strong- willed headmaster of a Texas Robert Ryan boys' school; and naturally he'll fall for Greer, who teaches there. He'll have a rival in the love affair; and when we asked who gets Garson at the finish, the answer was "Buddy Fogelson." For the picture Helen Rose is whipping up a really glamorous wardrobe, including a gold lame bathing suit for Greer, who's usually, on the conservative side in costumes. Having spent mof-t of the summer in hot New Mexico she cut those golden tresses almost to a poodle length ahd will wear her hair that way in the film.

Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy, who always work together, got separate' film star role offers. simultaneously. Peter was paged for "The Big Brass Band" I and Mary for "The Professor and thd Co-ed." Incidentally, the latter film got a title change to "Geraldine," and there's not a girl, in the cast called Geraldine. But there is a soiig in the film by that name. In "Mogambo," Ava Gardner is called "Honey Bear." After the picture was fin-1 ished the 8-month-old gorilla that appears with her in thej film was given the same name and donated to the London zoo.
