(Florida Clipping Service, Tampa) Florida Sun FLORIDA DATB IdiuiGywnri Hollywood News '7 b f "French tine" starts shooting at R.K.O. May 28th and it will star Jane Russell. The six songs for the picture haven't been written yet. Studio is after Jean Pierre Aumont for the male topper, since the part calls for a suave Frenchman. If cute Mary McCarty will drop a few MORE pounds, she could be the femme singing-comedy sensation of the year with her role in above. P.S: Studio is also looking for a doll who looks liks like Jane Russell (face AND figger) for one of the leads in this comedy of mistaken identity. Giant- screen, anyone? *~ * -* We're wondering how much of a "win" Metro has in acquiring the rights to Mario Lanza's recorded songs for "Student Prince," In exchange for dropping that $5,- 000,000 lawsuit.??bviously, a NON- singer will noTflfcplay the Prince, with Mario's voice pouring from the actor's lips! Fans know many stars have the warblings of others dubbed in as their own for musicals. But NOT voices that are recognizable to all! (How disiiact- ing can things get?) Remember the picture wherein Eddie Bracken "sang" throughout with Bing Crosby's recorded voice? And the old film that had Sinatra's crooning coming out of Phil Silvers' mouth? They were MEANT to be funny!!. . . Ever hear about the agent who was worrying out loud about his hew "find?"
