Rosalind Russell TU eee Rosalind Russell, who has played almost every type of career girl on the screen, returns to the ...... Theatre screen as the wise and warm-hearted Mother Superior who heads a girls’ school, in “Where Angels Go—Trouble Follows!”, the new Columbia Pictures release in Eastman color at the...... Theatre. Stella Stevens is also starred in the comedy which co-stars Binnie Barnes, Susan Saint James, Mary Wickes and Dolores Sutton and, as the “in” group, Milton Berle, Arthur Godfrey, Van Johnson and Robert Taylor. Miss Russell has made an exciting and successful career of playing career women in other lines. Others have been dramatic. Yet all have had one thing in common: her individual and inimitable style. A native of Westbury, Connecticut, she came to films the traditional way, via the Broadway stage. She has won honors and acclaim in both media, including the Tony, the New York Critics’ and four Academy Award nominations. Her greatest stage triumph, of course, was her portrayal of the amazing “Auntie Mame.” In films, it could be one of a dozen deft characterizations, in such pictures as “My Sister Eileen,” “Mourning Becomes Electra,” “Sister Kenny,” “The Women” and, of course, as the Mother Superior she currently plays. “’m lucky,” she points out. “I’ve reached the point in my life where I don’t have to work any more unless I want to. So I can pick and choose, and do only those pictures which sound like fun.” “Where Angels Go— Trouble Follows!” is a case in point. Concerning the attempts of Miss Stevens as a _ progressive, young and “groovey” nun to bring about some reforms in the policies and thinking of a staid old, tradition-bound school for girls, the film fits Miss Russell’s requirements perfectly. Contest Winners VTE Want to be a movie star? Then win a “non-beauty” contest. That’s the way eight young unknowns broke into films last summer. They won jobs in “Where Angels Go —Trouble Follows!”, starring Rosalind Russell and Stella Stevens at the ST oe ree Theatre in Eastman color, in contests held in their home states. And, for once, these contests stressed “freshness” and “naturalness” rather than “beauty” and the ability to wear a bikini. The girls who are thus making their screen debut in the Columbia Pictures release are Patricia Eaves, of Santa Fe, New Mexico; Barbara Boman, of St. Louis, Missouri; Janis Eaton, of Kingfisher, Oklahoma; Vivian Gradin, of Dallas, Texas; Mary Jo Begley, of Dayton, Ohio; Suelen Helland, of Lincolnwood, Illinois; Cindy Lu Rumple, of Indianapolis, Indiana; and Betsy Gindele, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Co-starring Binnie Barnes, Susan Saint James, Mary Wickes and Dolores Sutton and, as members of the “in” group, Milton Berle, Arthur Godfrey, Van Johnson and _ Robert Taylor, “Where Angels Go—Trouble Follows!” was produced by William Frye and directed by James Neilson. ‘Where Angels Go’—Excitement Follows!

But no one benefits from the free spending quite as much as the over-all economy of the selected site. It enjoys a bonanza. For example, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Both cities were for several weeks the location headquarters of “Where Angels Go—Trouble Follows!” the Columbia Pictures release starring Rosalind Russell and Stella Stevens at the Baits Theatre in Eastman color. When the company, numbering a little more than 100 cast and crew, left each city, it had spent more than $100,000 on rooms and meals alone. In addition, it had hired hundreds of local citizens to play extras in the scenes or to work behind the cameras. Shooting a motion picture on location is not all beer and skittles, however. To get the required two or three minutes of screen time that a day’s work usually entails, the film com pany can completely paralyze the routine operation of the selected site. A case in point was the visit of the Columbia company to the Dorney Park amusement center in Allentown, Pa. The scenes enacted there concerned the visit to the park of a bus load of school girls, chaperoned by nuns, en route to California to attend a Youth rally. For an entire day, the company tied up such top attractions as the Scrambler and the Monster. Despite the obvious loss of revenue, the Park’s owner, Robert F. Ott, was delighted. “A million dollars worth of free publicity,” he beamed. And, to show his appreciation, he gave everyone who came to watch the shooting a free hot dog. Nearly 6,000 in all. Co-starring Binnie Barnes, Susan Saint James, Mary Wickes, Dolores Sutton and, as the “in” group, Milton Berle, Arthur Godfrey, Van Johnson and Robert Taylor, “Where Angels Go —Trouble Follows!” was produced by William Frye. (Mat 2E; Still No. 96) Boys of the St. Francis School run by Van Johnson as Father Chase, stage a dance to celebrate the overnight visit of girls of the St, Francis School run by Rosalind Russell as the Mother Superior in "Where Angels Go—Trouble Follows!" Stella Stevens stars with Miss Russell in the Columbia Pictures release in Eastman color, as a modern-minded nun who is in constant trouble—with her Mother Superior, and with the police! (Mat 2A; Still No. 92) Rosalind Russell, as the Mother Superior of a girls’ school in ‘Where Angels Go—Trouble Follows!"' is appalled by the freedom Van Johnson, headmaster of a boys' school, has accorded his students. Stella Stevens, who stars in the new Columbia Pictures release in Eastman color, clearly is delighted. Mary Wickes, at right, co-stars in the comedy along with Binnie Barnes, Susan Saint James and Dorothy Sutton. (Mat 2B; Still No. 113) Stella Stevens as a young nun out-faces "bikers" harassing her young charges in this scene from "Where Angels Go—Trouble Follows!" new Columbia Pictures release in Eastman color. Rosalind Russell also stars in the comedy as the Mother Superior of a girls’ school, who finds the progressive-minded Miss Stevens almost as much of a problem as the most worrisome of her ultra-modern students. (Mat IB; Still No. 9) Stella Stevens is starred with Rosalind Russell in ''Where Angels Go —Trouble Follows!'' new Columbia Pictures release in Eastman color in which she plays a progressive-minded young nun who comes into conflict with the traditional thinking of her Mother Superior. Stella Stevens Tee Although the blonde, sultry Stella Stevens has never before worn as much clothing in a motion picture as she does in “Where Angels Go — Trouble Follows!” the infectious Columbia Pictures comedy in Eastman color with Rosalind Russell also starred at the ...... Theatre, she still manages to rivet the attention of moviegoers on herself. Miss Stevens plays a nun in “Where Angels Go—Trouble Follows,” a sharp contrast to many of her previous film roles in which scanty attire, if not downright nudity, was usually the order of the day. Miss Stevens’ curvaceous charms are covered up by the black habit—strictly unmod—of a convent sister, a militant young nun with a very definite mind of her own. Inevitably, she comes into conflict with the wise, but tradition-bound, Mother Superior played by Miss Russell. “T’ve never worn this many clothes in a film before in all my life,” the attractive young actress said. “It’s a new image for me, but I kind of like it.” Certainly, it’s a different role from the junkies and loose women and similar characters she has played in the past, or the attractive store clerk who becomes Dean Martin’s “mistress” in their earlier comedy, “How to Save a Marriage—and Ruin Your Life.” In that one, Stella wore a diaphanous negligee in some of the most romantic comedy scenes of the year. She’s called Sister George in “Where Angels Go—Trouble Follows!” and she presents a character who is both angelic and troublesome, indeed. She is a “groovey” nun who leads her students on demonstrations, and even teaches them how to make a homemade bomb. She believes she should be where the action is, and where there is no action, she creates it. Playing a personality like that, Miss Stevens’ costume is the least of her problems. She Gets ’Em! TTT Stella Stevens was never one to mind having her acting talents get a little help from her physical attributes. In fact, she will tell you that it was the body as much as the ability that put her over on the screen. Now this has all been changed. In one daring piece of casting, Stella appears as a nun in “Where Angels Go — Trouble Follows!,”’ the Columbia Pictures release also starring Rosalind Russell in Eastman color at the septeereteee one Theatre. “T never faced such an acting challenge in my whole career.” Stella said. “Once I put on the habit, it was if I were told, ‘Okay, Stella, you’re on your own. No one will look at anything but your face. No distractions and no help from your body. It’s just you, your expressions, the script and your voice. Go get ’em!” Fortunately, Stella is not only a fighter but a girl with a lot of talent. So she got ’em. Co-starring Binnie Barnes, Susan Saint James, Mary Wickes, Dolores Sutton and, as members of the “in” group, Milton Berle, Arthur Godfrey, Van Johnson and Robert Taylor, “Where Angels Go—Trouble Follows!” was produced by William Frye and directed by James Neilson.
