THE STRATFORD MIRROR Friday, June 7, 1946. SUPE IZZ4 WA @! By FRANK FILMAN That Ladd lad is slated to try a different type of role in his next film. He will play Gatsby in the picturization of F. Scott Fitzgerald's sensational novel, The Great Gatsby, a part which calls for him to enact the role of an impostor who tries to buy love and happiness in the jazz age of the '20s.... Bette Davis will appear next in an adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play, Lady Winder- mere's Fan, obtainable in book form at any public library. ... Bing Cros- by is the favorite actor of American women, At least that's the way the vote went in the poll conducted by a woman's magazine among its 3,- 600,000 readers. Greer Garson was their favorite actress. ... Philatelists will understand what made Barbara Stanwyck play hookey from the set of Cry Wolf to get the first four sheets of postage stamps of the new Honorable Discharge Emblem issued in Hollywood. * Whenever a Hollywood studio comes to a scene in which some damsel has to emit a bloodcurdling scream, their usual procedure has been to hire a professional scheaming lady, who for a fee of $25 lets out the necessary yips. Not so Ginger Rogers. On the set for her latest picture, Heartbeat, which is just being re- leased, the script called for her to do some fancy screeching. Without waiting for any instructions she wound up and let go with one of the most hair-raising howls ever heard in the RKO Studios. She gave five repeat performances on request, with every one registering perfectly. The director of the picture, Sam Wood, claims that if she hadn't been a star, she could quite easily have been a professional screamstress. First theatrical non-documentary short subject to be made in Canada for many years is Farewell Brtain, which was produced by a new Can- adian film company at the Queens- way motion picture studios outside Toronto. A cast of ex-servicemen starred in the film, which is being distributed by J. Arthur Rank's Eagle-Lion Company. Canadian production of theatrical and non-theatrical films has increas- ed to the point that the first native film producers' association in his- tory has been formed in Toronto. Perhaps young Canadians won't have to go to Hollywood at some future time if it's film careers they want. * * a Manitoba's Jack Carson is about to undertake what is an unusual role for him, that of a famed West- ern character. He'll play Wild Bill Hickock opposite Ann Sheridan in Calamity Jane. ... A film will be made of Bill's Gay Nineties, famed NY funnery. ... Men of Tomorrow will tell the story of the Boy Scouts in Technicolor. Approaching star William Powell on the lot where he is starring in Life With Father, a high-pressure insurance salesman got carried away on the very zeal and power of his own spiel. His punch line was: "People are dying today who never died before."
