Dale Robertson takes a sporting glance at the news between scenes in ‘’The Clarion Call”
Sound off: Taking a tip from Bing Crosby, Doris Day, most popular actress of 1951, also had her Photoplay Gold Medal Award set in the top of an ebony cigarette box.

Double-Life: “That can’t be a movie star!” said a couple of customers in a Beverly Hills smart shop. “They’re supposed to be super-sexy Hollywood beauties.” The girl they were watching wore old wrinkled dungarees, Indian moccasins, the remains of a studio make-up was still on her face and her hair was reminiscent of a startled pineapple.

In “Fearless Fagan” Carp plays the G.I. who takes his pet lion to war with him. “My stomach was in knots,” he muses, “but they casually reminded me not to show fear when the old boy leaped up and put his paws on my shoulders.

Danny was scared stiff, so Goldwyn took him to the lion’s cage. “Look,” he pointed, “he’s so gentle he doesn’t even have teeth.” Just then the lion yawned and displayed a full set of uppers and lowers. “What’s that?” inquired Danny cryptically, “Bridgework?”
