Th * f«cent Bight of a four-motored transport over Hollywood held up approximately 25 companies for almost an hour. Paramount’s "Ruler of the Seas.' with a large group of extras, was the worst sufferer, and it is Paramount which is heading the agitation now. According to Loren Ryder, chief of this studio's sound ’ departmenh delays caused by airplanes cost the film plants over 1250.000 annually. A youth now on the way here from Toklo has written Olivia de Havtlland that he and she were informally betrothed by their families at the age of two. He wonders if the fact will entitle him to a date with the star when he gets to Hollywood. The answer probably will be yea. Talk about little things with farreaching effects. A Mexican barber gave John Garfield a haircut in Acapulco and. as a result, the star s new picture, '*20.000 Years in Bmg Sing," will have to be postponed for a week . . . When Garfield arrived in Hollywood, hla head looked like a peeled onion. Quite a human interest story behind the delayed departure of M-G-Ms special train for the “Northwest Passage" location. Two hundred people, including Spencer Tracy, Robert Young and Walter Brennan waited so that Sound Mixer John Dellam could get one glimpse of his baby just born at a local hospital. It’s no wonder there's such a rush of applicants to work as standin for James Ellison.

fifth Ellison standin to graduate into ths acting ranks. Ths actresses who scream so loudly for expensive wardrobes In their films should bo told about Alice Brady. She wore one costume all through "In did Chicago*' and had only two changes in "Young Mr. Lincoln" . • . and both performances were of Academy Award caliber. ' gr, Don t Uko to bore you with technical matters, but Walter Wenger is planning a real oddity for “Eternally Yours." He will attach a camera to a parachute and will photograph the wild gyrations normally made by a man's body in a delayed opening jump. You see It as through the eyes of the pilot bailing out. The motor driven camera will be encased tn a cork and rubber box. A time clock will pull the rip cord of the parachute 25 «eo onda after the drop from the plane. Just before the camera lande (in water) the device also closes a heavy glass “window" over the lens, making the box a floating, waterproof protector for the camera and Its exposed film. Special effects men are confident the trick will work. The usual secrecy surrounds Ginger Rogees* vacation plans, but her intimates whisper she and her mother will make a trip to South America. Ginger doesn't have to report back to R-K-O for two months.
