Tribune (Cir. 1,488,409) JUN 16 1953 Lpdlang tit Hollywood __ Ne^ wider Screen Device , Has Shorter Name, Magna BY HEDDA ^OPPER'S STAFF ^Sfif HOLLYWOOD, June 15?╟÷Gene Nelson will be the first actor to be tested for the Will Parker role in " Oklahoma! " 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. ... Orson Welles has written his foster father, Dr. Maurice Bernstein, that he may soon return to America.

" film making, touring live shows are bringing badjLyaudeville in eve^y shape and form. Paul Small has acquired tfte night and supper club rights for "The Student Prince," which he'll send on the road with a streamlined version and cast of about 50,, persons. The show opens at the Sands hotel in Las Vegasj, and Paul is trying to pry Gordon MacRae"' IffoseTfrom'Warners to headline it*, . . . Lloyd Bacon has even a more original idea.

This is his first night-club appearance since 1934 when, as he says himself, he 'laid an egg at the Chez Paree in Chicago."' 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. He's only going to be there for two weeks and the boss, Milton Prell, says wistfully he wishes he had Red booked fori a month at least. Owing to-the large tourist travel through Las Vegas at this time of the year, there are hundreds of teen-agers in the audience wd Red is their idol.
