cockeyed that the set crew burst into roars of laughter during rehearsal. The camera dollies around through every complicated step and bit of business. It takes several rehearsals, but when the real take comes, the crew stifles its giggles and dead silence reigns except for the actors and the harmonica. Through the whole two minutes and 34 seconds, the trio play their intricate business and lines and at the finish Director Mark Sandrich announces with a triumphant grin, “It’s a beauty!” Out at Twentieth Century-Fox, the studio has turned over its big special of the year to Allan Dwan, master of spectacular atmosphere drama. It is “Suez”, in which Tyrone Power plays De Lesseps. builder of the canal. Loretta Young is the beauty who later becomes Empress Eugenie. Louis Napoleon is played by Leon Ames. The set is a magnificent sweep. Next to the salon where the scene is being played is a great reception hall, done in Frances most ornate period. Wide stairways lead into the grand ballroom. Director Dwan has arranged his sets so the camera can take it all in with one grand swoop. In front of the camera, Power has taken the place of a Swami, who is enterT ri 11 ’ <5

The gay laughter of Loretta Young and Rudolph Schildkraut, who plays De Lesseps’ friend, is suddenly broken when the president suddenly walks in, overhears the prophecy and stands regally under the giant crystal chandelier to say icily, "Very amusing!" But what Tyrone Power couldn t fortell happens right after this. While being shifted for a better light effect, one of the heavy reflector tripods tumbles over, falls directly across the table. it misses Schildkraut’s head, lands on his shoulder. He takes it stoically, like an aristocrat. ijU . , . would have landed it on his head, him in the hospital andl the production schedule on the wro g side of the time table.
