PARAMOUNT rtORLP PICTURES AND NEWS FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN BRANCHES Anthony Franciosa and Carolyn Jones are just in time to find Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine in what Dean playfully calls 'in conference' in one of the many hilarious scenes in Hal B. Wallis' "Career." Perhaps it makes the situation a little better to add that Dean and Shirley later get married in the picture for a while. umumm Joe Cutrell, salesman, went fishing not long ago, but all he caught was a good case of poison ivy. A policeman called Stella Lavender recently to tell her that he had been looking for her for several days. She thou^it it was a joke, but it happened to be real. He wanted to buy the six-room shell home >hich she had won at top prise in a Sears Roebuck contest. The call was Stella's first notice that she had won, and what a nice prise it was. V/e are pleased that she was the lucky winner. Incidently, winning contests is not new to Stella as she won several nice prises by entering contests Ano ther lucky winner was Ann Davis, our newest Paramo unteer, vho won for her husband, George, a $50 War Bond at the August Vompi luncheon meeting. The entire office enjoyed delicious Elberta peaches grown in South Carolina recently when exhibitor S. J. Workman sent us two bushels of the fruit. Mr. Workman owns and operates the White Horse Drive In Theatre in Greenville, S. C. and the Hollywood Theatre in Woodruff, S. C. We were delighted to see a former Charlottean not long ago when Everett Olsen from the Chicago Brandi paid us a visit. The occasion was his marriage to Mrs. Elizabeth Marcase of this city. Our best wishes to the couple for a happy life together. ^ Hoover The Charlotte Branch has experienced a very fine summer season, business-wise, with such pictures as "Tarzan's Greatest Adventure", "Don't Give Op the Ship" and "Last Train from Gun Hill"; and certainly our fall line-up is no less impressive. , . ... Perhaps the most significant point with regard to our program for the coming months is the diversification in our releases. The type of product and star-studded casts of such pictures as THAT KIND OF WOMAN, BUT NOT FOR hi, CAREER, JAlHAVKERS, and LI'L ABNER should reap great rewards at the boxoffice. Not be overlooked is the possibilities of Mr. DeMille s SAMSON AND DELILAH. This is one of the all time greats and it is our personal opinion in (Continued on Page 16. Ml N M E A P 3 L I 5 On Salesman Joe Rosen's last contact with Pete Campbell, the 72-yearold exhibitor at Walhalla, No. Dak., he found that Mr. Campbell was an ardent coin collector. Joe told him that he had 368 Indian head pennies that he had saved during his paper boy days thirty years ago, and they made a deal ifor 10£ a penny. When Joe received his check for $3b.80 from Mr. Campbell, he invested it in two $25.00 U. S. Savings Bonds for his children, and he pointed out that in ten years, his childhood enthusiasm which prompted him to save *3.68 in pennies, will be worth $50. Mr. wampbell, of course, feels he got the better end of the ae&l. Incidentally, Joe says coins are not Mr. Campbell's only hobby, for 7i-year-old exhibitor is an ardent golfer and still enters contests for trap shooting. He will be in Minneapolis to play in the Variety Club golf tournament on September 11th. -Bonnie Lynch ICHARLOTTEl Jerry and Eleanor Helms have returned to their desks after 'spending a week in and around our nation's capitol and reported a wonderful time. Joyce Willis spent the last week of her vacation at home resting. Myrtle Parker end Mildred Hoover will fly to Jacksonville Florida to attend the 6th Annual Convantion of the Association of the Women of the Motion Picture Industry to be held Sept. 12-13 at the Robert Meyer Hotel. With theatre attendance on the upswing and small theatres reopening all over the country, the WQMPIS as well as others oonnected with the industry are encouraged over the news, and are looking forward to a successful convention. Don't overlook the scorching role played by Barbara Nichols in "That Kind of Woman." She's the gal who makes no secret of the source of her wealth most of whi ch you see displayed above A long dispute means that both parties are wrong. Voltaire NEW YORK CITY This is New York branch's gracious Grace Ganguzza in the 'Southern Belle' costume in which she won first prize at an East Durham, New York, vacation resort masquerade party. Grace made the costume in its entirety, herself. The S.R. Liked "That Kind of Woman" The "S.R." is The Saturday Review, one time known as The Saturday Review of Literature. It reviews films today even as it did under its own title, and now, as then, its reviews have bred more mayhem than merriment in the hearts of the film press agents concerned. However, in the issue of September 5th, Saturday Review had these kind words to offer on the Sophia Loren filmed-in-Manhattan romance, "That Kind of Woman " : The movie has several pleasant things to offer: amusing and persuasive performances bv Jack Warden (as another soldier) and Keenan Wynn (as the rich man's watchdog over his girl), some charming acting from Miss Loren, accomplished suavity by George Sanders.and appropriate lovesick earnestness by Tab Hunter. Best of all 1 s Sidney Lumet ' s direction. He, with the aid of his photographer. Bori s Kaufman , provides perhaps the most marvelously real and hilarious train ride ever captured on the screen. Walter Bernstein's dialogue is smooth throughout, and for those who believe in miracles there is a happy ending. Every man has a right to his own opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts. Bernard Baruch
