Ginger Rogers lends an ear to one of Oscar Levant’s droll stories. They’re on set of “The Barkleys of Broadway”
Hollywood Is Talking About: The threat of Gene Kelly to quit acting for directing . . . The solid philosophy of Doris Day who doesn’t seem the type . . . The speculation as to whether the English will go for Frankie Sinatra, who appears at the Palladium this summer . . . The return of John Garfield and Jimmy Cagney to their alma mater, Warner Brothers, after each had fought like steers for their release . . . The disappointment of Garfield, starring in the Clifford Odets play “The Big Knife,” and the terrific hit of Lee J. Cobb (relegated to mere character parts in movies) in “Death of a Salesman” . . . The oddity in the Franchot Tone menage with Mrs. Tone (Jean Wallace) constantly bemoaning her great love for Franchot, the man she is in the process of divorcing while both live in the same house . . . The not-too-kidding sarcasm Bob Hope lavishes on a radio bit player who reads a line well, and the encouragement given a good line reader by Jack Benny.
Set Going: One of the longest scenes we’ve witnessed was about to be filmed when we stepped onto the “The File on Thelma Jordan” set. Character actor Stanley Ridges stood before judge and jury and, in eight pages of typed dialogue, defended Barbara Stanwyck alias Thelma Jordan.
Barbara, gray hair softening her lovely face, sat entranced throughout the rehearsals. A prodigious worker, Stanwyck never lets down a minute. We thought at first the graying hair was all a part of the role but learned later it is quite nautral and Barbara will permit no touch-up of any kind. Too bad the camera fails to catch its surprising loveliness.
The elderly, business-man type of judge interested us. Imagine our surprise to learn that he was Basil Ruysdael who for years had offered up those auctioneer chants on the “Hit Parade” program. The quiet calm of “Judge” Ruysdael seemed not to fit the tobacco chanter.
