THE TUNEFILMS:
Warner Brothers don’t make many musicals, but when they do, they’re good ones like “This Is The Army.” Their newest attempt should top the lot. It’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” the story of George Gersh¬ win’s life and music.
Most of the members of the cast were closely associated with Gersh¬ win at one time or another during his brilliant career. You’ll see Paul Whiteman, Oscar Levant, George White, and A1 Jolson, all playing themselves. Jolson will sing “Swanee” just as he did at the New York Winter Garden way back in 1919, and Paul Whiteman and his orchestra will reenact their Aeolian Hall Concert of 1924 in which they introduced the immortal “Rhapsody in Blue.” Robert Alda, who will play the role of Gershwin, has been studying piano for months in prepa¬ ration for the part. . . .
In Universal’s new Donald O’Con¬ nor picture, “This Is The Life,” we find our old friend Ray Eberle, sing¬ ing “All Or Nothing At All.” Ray appears set for a Universal build-up, if his recent camera activities are any indication. He’s also in “Honey¬ moon Lodge” and “Hi Ya Sailor.”
The Andrews Sisters’ film, “Moon¬ light and Cactus,” brings Mitchell Ayres and his band to the screen for the first time. This outfit has come up very fast in popularity the last year. . . .
Hal McIntyre and his band make their initial visit to Hollywood for a featured spot in Columbia Pic¬ tures’ “Jam Session.” The last time Hal was on a movie set, he was a saxophonist with the old Glenn Miller band . . .
Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra were signed by Twentieth Century

Fox to handle the rhythm chores in their new musical, “Camp Show.” This is the new title for “Four Jills and a Jeep” — the story of the Martha Raye-Carole Landis-Kay Francis-Mitzi Mayfair overseas tour. Perry Como is on the same lot, and he draws a lead, no less, in “The Bowery After Dark.” This picture is a remake of Twentieth’s early hit, “The Bowery.” Perry will play the old George Raft role, with a few songs added. They say he made a wonderful test, and that he photo¬ graphs excellently, so maybe he will be deserting radio and nightclubs for movies exclusively . . .
WHAT'S BRISK ON THE DISC:
The Victor Company has only one new release, but it looks like a win¬ ner. It’s a dance arrangement of “Rhapsody In Blue” by the Glenn Miller band, recorded a couple of years ago. . . .
Columbia’s contribution this month is Xavier Cugat’s “Bim Bam Bum,” a guaracha, with Tito Rod¬ riguez on the vocal, backed up by “Thanks For The Dream,” a beguine, sung by Carmen Castillo and the Cugat Chorus. . . .
Decca has brought out an An¬ drews Sisters platter which was
