^MGM NEWS IN MEMORIAM GEORGE BOEMLER A Thirty-Year-Man at M-G-M, that was the saga of George Boem- ler. George arrived at Metro Feb¬ ruary 11, 1927, before the arrival of sound pictures. Starting as an as¬ sistant editor, he moved on to shorts editor and finally found his niche as a feature editor in the era when the feature picture and Metro- Goldwyn - Mayer were supreme. Among his many screen credits were, “This Could Be The Night,” “Bat¬ tle Circus,” “Escape From Fort Bravo,” the magnificent “Prisoner of Zenda,” “Asphalt Jungle,” and the hilarious “Adams Rib.” After thirty years of service, in 1957 George left M-G-M for the independent field and television where he stayed until 1968 when, after a brief illness, he passed away. George was a charter member of American Cinema Edi¬ tors. George Boemler’s skill in film edit¬ ing will be sorely missed in the in¬ dustry, but George will be remem¬ bered always. Ira Heymann, A.C.E. LOSING STREAK Continued violation of the law and dismissed the charges against Talman and seven other defendants. The actor nevertheless remained off the Mason show for nine months. Mean¬ while, fans had flooded the studio with letters in his defense. Mr. Talman was born in Detroit. As a student, he founded an acting club at the Cranbrook School in Michigan and later studied theater arts at Dartmouth Univ¬ ersity. He played in stock companies after college, financing his beginning career by working as a salesman, clerk, bookkeeper, tennis pro and night club dancer and master of ceremonies. He served in the U.S. Army in World War II, coaching a championship Army boxing team and helping to write and direct 100 Army theatricals. A NEW FILM STOCK IS DISTRIBUTED BY METRO/KALVAR The unique Metro/Kalvar photograph¬ ic process is now being used by the U.S. Army in Vietnam and by Armed Forces Radio and Television Service on a world¬ wide basis, it was announced by Robert H. O’Brien, President of MGM Inc., and Harold C. Harsh, President of Kalvar Corp. The jointly-owned subsidiary, Metro / Kalvar, has recently established overseas distributorships in Japan and Europe, servicing the motion picture and televis¬ ion fields. Further world-wide distribu¬ tion is planned. The Metro/Kalvar process is dry, using no chemicals or solutions; instead the photographic image is printed by ultra¬ violet light and developed by heat. The film has no silver content, and composi¬ tion of the unexposed film permits handling under any given light conditions. * * * Besides shooting featurette footage of the historic Sherborne school location, of M.G.M.’s “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” camera¬ man John Alonzo also shot at the Deauville home of Petula Clark, who co-stars with Peter O’Toole and Michael Redgrave in the musical drama. Mr. Talman recently completed a movie, “Ballad of Josie,” with Doris Day. With him when he died were his wife, Peggy, and four of six children by this and previous marriages. * * * Raymond Stross is breathing easier now that his “Midas Run” troupe :is in London and out of Italy, where the cast and crew gained an aggregate 327 pounds — “It’s the pasta”, Stross moaned. * * * Stanley Kramer discovered one of the world’s most famous models, Micelina Falcon, now 75, in Anticoli Corrado, where he’s filming “The Secret of Santa Vittoria.” Mile Falcon, who posed for Bonnet and Rodin, decried the demise of the voluptous model of her day by, citing the Twiggy syndrome in modeling as the death of the big busted beauties of the early 1900’s.
