77lS.l/sS£ GOES TO PARAMOUNT SHOWS Everything's going to be Dixie this summer. 'Cause "DIXIE" is the most wonderful musical Paramount has ever "mused." Bing looks simply super in Technicolor (his first appearance), Dotty's divine as a glamour girl of the old South, and I loved the romantic story of how that glorious song "Dixie" was born. PA RAM OU NT'S GREAT NEW MUSICAL and MARJORIE BILLY LYNNE RAYMOND EDDIE REYNOLDS • oe WOLFE • OVERMAN • WALBURN • FOY, jr Directed by A. Edward Sutherland • Screen Play by Karl Tunberg and Darrell Ware Adaptation by Claude Binyon ♦ A Paramount Picture Bing sings some of his five solid song hits into the adorable ear of Marjorie Reynolds — you know, the blonde lovely of "Holiday Inn." It's a three-some romance — if you know what I mean. I won't tell you who wins, but gosh what those girls go through. Tsk-ttk! And those costumes!

And the fires he starts with his favorite pipe, and his stunning minstrel shows, are in most beautiful Technicolor!. .. It's gay down South in "Dixie." Things you hear around the Paramount Lot... "SO PROUDLY WE HAIL" is nearly finished and it looks grand. "FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO" and "CHINA" are drawing tremendous crowds all around the country . . . And I've just dashed off my acceptance of Paramount's precious invitation to the World Premiere of "FOR WHOM THE k f^?^— >y BELL TOLLS"! AUGUST, 1943 29
