Learn here the TRUTH about PSORIASIS IS IT A SKIN DISEASE OR INTERNAL? swooning women. The next moment that Frank remembers a\'idly was during President Roosevelt's second term. "^\Tiat happened was that the late Robert Hannegan, then chairman of the Democratic National Committee, invited me, along with Rags Ragland, Toots Shor, and about 100 others, to a reception at the White House," Frank said sincerely. "I stood in line with the others waiting to meet President Roosevelt— and I was never so scared in my life. I had no idea what I'd say to him. ^^^len I got to the President, he took care of the situation himself. With a smile he whispered to me, 'Tip me off — what's the number one song on the Hit Parade.^' That was all he said to me — and all I could do was make some remark and go off laughing. From that day on I was a great booster for the President. He impressed me so much I even named my son after him." The last big moment came in June 1944. Frank was in Hollywood and was signed by RKO. But Joe Pasternak, MGM producer, borrowed him for the highly successful "Anchors Aweigh." After the picture was finished, Frank re turned to RKO, not being aware that it was to be such a hit. The studio, however, had nothing ready for him. Then, one night, he made an appearance at Earl Carroll's at a big benefit and sang "Old Man River." Louis B. Mayer was in the audience at the time and after he heard Frank sing he said, "We have to get that boy. We can use him in pictures." Frank was later brought to Mayer's table and after a short talk, a deal was arranged whereby Frank could join MGM. This chance appearance at Carroll's helped to make Frank the important motion picture star he now is. Frank doesn't expect that fate has stopped showing her hand. He expects further moments that will step into the years ahead and change the course of events. But he's not going to wait for them. He has already made plans to make three pictures — one on the last ten years of his life which will be called "The Sinatra Story." Then he'll do one on the next ten years of his life a decade from now. "And if I'm not too old and can still sing," Frank chuckled, "I'U do a picture on the following ten years. You can see I'm a long range guy." Your Guide To Current Film$ Continued from page 14 adults will enjoy as much as children. . . . Malaya MGM DATING back to World War H days, this stars Spencer Tracy, James Stewart, John Hodiak and Lionel Barrymore— and shows Sidney Greenstreet in a new light. As an ex-newspaperman once assigned to the Far East, Stewart possesses knowledge of where the United States can get a much-needed supply of crude rubber. Getting the Government's O.K., Stewart enlists the aid of Tracy, a one-time friend who is serving time for smuggling. Tracy, a what's-in-it-for-me boy, knows the rubber producing country of Malaya like he'd like to know Valentina Cortesa, the sultry cafe singer he left behind in the Jap occupied country. Tracy and Stewart do manage to get the rubber out of hidden caches and ferried down-river through Jap-infested jungle to a tanker.^ Only it isn't as simple as it reads. Francis Vniversal'International THIS is an animal story — about a mule, to be exact, who saves 2nd Lieutenant Donald O'Connor when he's wounded and lost behind enemy lines in Burma. There's nothing about the mule that's any different from other Army pack mules, except that this one talks. He calls himself Francis. Everyone thinks Donald is nuts, and so does Donald at first, but Francis keeps right on talking to him — and tells him such interesting things, too! Between them, with Francis doing the brain-work, they almost win the War double-handed, capture a beautiful spy, Patricia Medina, and drive the U.S. Armybrass crazy. A fantasy? Heck,, no! Seeing Francis is believing. Always Leave Them Laughing Warner Brothers IT'S the whopping insight of a comedian's struggle to the top of the laugh meter. Milton Berle, as the comic who learns the ropes the hard way. shows he's as expert in the dramatic field as he is in his own particular brand of yak-getting. He, of course, romps away with most of the picture, but Ruth Roman, Virginia Mayo, Bert Lahr and others make nice watching, too. Starting as a borscht-circuit entertainer. Berle slugs the public's funnybone, wonders why he isn't a howling success, and winds up being thoroughly disliked. Then, a pretty awful thing happens that finally sets Berle on the right path. There's loads of Berlesque, and more than enough laughs. Holiday AfFair RKO NICE and very pleasant watching, with Janet Leigh as the young woman whose husband was killed in the War. To preserve his memory she tries to bring up her young son. Gordon Gebert, to be a carbon copy of his father. Trying to live up to those ideals is tough on a kid, but Robert Mitchum turns up to show Janet how she's ruining the boy's life and her own by living in the past. It couldn't be nicer of Wendell Corey, who wants to marry Janet, to decide that maybe he can't help Janet and her son as much as charmer Mitchum. . . .
