another Hollywood cycle and Director Lloyd Bacon is rushing camera work so that “Racket Busters” can reach the theaters of the country before the cream is skimmed. This particular scene does not include the Dewey character, played by Walter Abel. It is the shot where Bill Davidson, representative of the racketeers, tells a meeting of truck owners that they must join the association or else. In the picture, the combine is called, with careful anonymity, “the Manhattan Trucking association”. Climax of the scene is where George Brent defies the racketeers and leads a walkout on the meeting. As Brent and the angry group of truck owners stride down the aisle, Davidson shouts from th« platform: t “Let them go, they’ll be back! The whole set laughs when Director Bacon, a moment later, shouts: "All right, folks, back to your places!” On the “Carefree" set at R-K-O, Ginger Rogers is being examined by Fred Astaire who plays a psychiatrist in the picture. Director Mark Sandrich has coached Fred carefully in the professional manner and the dancing star is suave and casual as he explains to Ginger about inhibitions. “Now first of all,” he says, ' I m going to give you an anesthetic.” Ginger does a double take. “What for?”

little something wrong. Director Sandrich looks at ms watch and comprehension dawns. It is 12:30 and actors who are hungry have a habit of muffing SC "Okay folks,” says Sandrich, getSng y up. “the anesthetic can wait until aftet lunch.”
