(Richard needs the moola to rid his oppressed people of George's vile rule.) Discovering the horrible mistake she made, Yvonne, in addition to George and sundry other citizens, insists that Richard be found and slain. However, Richard erases all the evil, except Yvonne, when he exterminates George's entire stronghold. No, he doesn't do it singlehanded. His chums Jackie Gleason and Joe Besser assist. . . . Abbott And Costello In The Foreign Legion Universal-International IN AFRICA, searching for one of their wrestlers who got disgusted with fixed matches they had arranged, those two zanies. Abbott and Costello, get enmeshed in a net of ferocious desert chieftains, six beautiful slave girls and the Foreign Legion. They also, as Legion naires, meet tasty spy, Patricia Medina, who promises to get them out of military life if they will find the party or parties who are instigating a war against the Foreign Legion. By their usual methods of stumbling and bumbling, they not only find the instigator, but round up all the war-minded tribesmen. Beaver Valley (Technicolor) RKO WALT DISNEY'S latest True Adventure featurette is a refreshing panorama of animal life in a section of the Northwest that has been untouched by man. The hero is a beaver, the animal kingdom's hardest toiler. His family and neighbors comprise the rest of the unrehearsed, but nevertheless excellent cast. Through them, their ambitions, hardships and daily routine, you get a whimsical similarity to we human beings. It's super enjoyment for all age brackets. What Hollywood Itself Is Talking About Continued from page 1? for the Hollywood hills. The house overlooks Columbia Studios where John works. It doesn't say here whether Handsome is so crazy about his work that he wants a perpetual view of it or whether he just likes to save time by living close in. Anyway, the move took place while John was starring in "The Hero," so he dubbed his wife Patti "The Heroine," because she had to do the moving. The Gordon MacRaes are house-looking, too, but they don't care where the new place is just so long as it's big — their family is overflowing their present home. * * * Quite an unconventional family, the Gene Nelsons. After they saw some relatives of at the airport they got the wanderlust, hopped a plane for Catalina sans luggage — bought what they needed on the island. Dana Andrews enjoyed making "Gaunt Woman" on that same island because he's a boat-happy guy and this picture is a fishing-type screenplay. He and the family sailed over on their own private yawl, parked it at Avalon, just a short step from work. * * * Republic's picture "Hit Parade Of 1951" launches that zany bunch, the Firehouse Five Plus Two, which is directly responsible for the residents of Hollywood having numerous charley-horses. They're the guys who brought back the Charleston. Marie MacDonald makes her return to the screen in this opus and, aside from that, she's not doing anything but taking care of her two adopted children, who are both under the ripe old age of one year. * * * Gene Autry's first vacation in eleven years was worth waiting for. He and his attractive wife hitched up the airplane, flew to Lake Superior and boarded Phillip Wrigley's yacht for a spell of fishing. * * * Glenn Ford, done up in the uniform of a Navy commander for Columbia's "The Flying Missile," zvhich was locationing in San Diego, got a sudden impulse to buy some presents for his wife and son and took off for a department store. He should have stood aboard his submarine because by the time he got through returning about a gillion salutes from sailor boys passing him on the sidewalk his arm was too sore to reach for his wallet. * * * We would love to have seen Clifton Webb's face when he was told on the set of 20th's "For Heaven's Sake" that young Gigi Perreau, with whom he'd been emoting, had come down with the mumps. And well bet he didn't say "For heaven's sake" either. Fortunately, he was spared. Don't think he'd look pretty with the mumps. * * * Tli'Tigs have really been popping for Firbara Bel Geddes since she made that picture for 20th with Dick Widmark and Paul Douglas (a thrilling opus called "Panic In The Streets"). Since then she's been combing picture offers out of her hair and will do the Rodgers and Hammerstein production of John Steinbeck's new play "Forests Of The Night" on Broadway this Fall. * * * Betty Hutton is not a gal to do anything less than the spectacular. All within a short time she: made up with hubby Ted Briskin, tossed the party of the year at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and sent C. B. DeMille a giant floral arrangement that cost her a thousand bucks as a pitch for the lead in his circus picture "The Greatest Show On Earth." Looks a? if she'll get that lead. too. She doesn't put on such a bad show herself. * * * Gregory Peck, whose three sons have birthdays a month apart, compromised and had one great big ball for all of them. 72
