CR-5-1816 or GL-8054 Portrait Of A Director Curtis Bernhardt, director of Warner Bros.’ “My Reputation,” starring Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent, knows the actor’s problems because he was an actor for many years in Germany. He attended the famous State School of Drama at Frankfurt. It is now the Headquarters of the American Army of Occupation in Germany. His birthplace is Worms, and it sounds better the German way, with a soft v sound, in the sunny Rhineland, famed for wine, beau¬ tiful maidens and good food. His family wanted him to go into business, either his own, a department store, or selling cham¬ pagne. He did nether. He became a Thespian, joined a stock com¬ pany, toured Prussia, Austria and Bavaria. In Berlin, after a successful play, he was asked to make a pic¬ ture for peanuts or the Teutonic equivalent, which was ten thou¬ sand marks. He did, and that be¬ gan a new and noteworthy career, during which he discovered Mar¬ lene Dietrich, and directed her first picture. He guided the late Conrad Veidt in his first talking picture. Gabin Dannielle Darrieux and Maurice Chevalier worked for him. In Paris he met his wife, Pearl Argyle, a British prima ballerina. They have two children, Stephen and Tony. Their home is on a hill in Bel-Air. The family ski, play tennis, swim, entertain informally. But Bernhardt’s pride is his moth¬ er, Mrs. Emilie Bernhardt, who, at the age of 79, is completing study for her American citizenship ex¬ ams. Mr. Royal Talking John F. Royal, vice president in charge of television for NBC, has announced at a press conference in Hollywood that he will play the field, rather than sign up with any one motion picture producer, to make films for television.

A brand new record company has been formed by that wellknown record distributor and juke box operator, Harold V. Johnson, who tells us that he is equipped with the latest of material and is prepared to give the public noth¬ ing but the best. Johnson has chosen as his part¬ ner in this brand new enterprise, Ceelle Burke, a personality that is well-known in the music world as a band leader and composer, and who has, in the past, thrilled music lovers with those ever popu¬ lar hits as “When The Swallows Come Back To Capistrano” and “From Twilight Till Dawn.” Ceelle Burke’s solidly groovie band gets the honors in his new venture and through his able lead¬ ership have recorded eight brand new tunes that are sure to please the hearts of those who like sweet music. Besides Burke, who does the vocal in some of his latest records, he has been fortunate to obtain such artists as Jeri La Rue, who really sings you out of this world; May Flowers, equally famous as a vocalist, gives with everything, and last, but in no way the least, the Rhythmettes, and if it is rhythm you want, they give it. These new recordings are now on sale at the Philharmonic Music Shop located at 423% W. 5th St. and at the HI-DEE-HO Record Co. at 6805 So. Hoover St. Look for the titles of these new recordings in the advertisement on this page.
