PARSONS Motion Picture Editor International News Service HOLLYWOOD, June 11.?╟÷AT LUNCHEON WITH June Allyson and Dick Powell at their beautiful new lome, I had a chance to talk to Dick about his plans at I RKO. He-says he's reading scripts like mad to try to *ind a new story. He's all excited about "The Gibson ?√ßJirl" which RKO already owns. H "I'd like to put Jane Russell in 'Gibson Girl'?╟÷she'd be per- | -:Wmy r.mWf- feet," he said. "You'diaetter put me I& that picture," June interrupted. "Well, perhaps you can be in it, too," he told her. Paramount is after June for "Air F^rce," a picture soon to start. She's had more, offersk than she can accept, but I believe she'll turn any one of them down in a minute if Dick gets a story that's right for her.. While we were at luncheon^ June told me that Ricky Powell, 2y2, is going to be in her picture and play Glenn Miller's little boy. He says one word, "baby," and, boy, how he says it. *m * * YESTERDAY I TOLD you that Cary Grant was being sought for both "Sabrina Fair" and Judy Garland's picture "A | ' Star Is Born."
