Mrs. Nancy Martens announced some time ago that ES # there would be two additional performances by the San Carlo © Opera Company besides Pucecini’s “La Boheme,” which is to y be the second subscription attraction on her concert course, Nov. 18. So when Fortune Gallo, the opera company’s man-|. * ager, conferred with Mrs. Martens this week, “the” double

Tay Garnett Ends World Tour With 100,000 Feet of Film.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 14.— Tay Garnett's ‘cruise for realism” ended today as the movie producer returned to Hollywood with 100,000 feet of film which will be incorporated in several forthcom-

ing pictures. Years ago Mr. Garnett conceived the idea of making a world tour aboard his yacht to obtain authentic background which could be used in his new pictures. “In far away places of the world are beautiful backgrounds that never had been used in motion pictures,” he explained. “My theory was that with the expenditure of a reasonable amount we could give the world an actual view of millions of dollars worth of scenery. “And it cost us less to go and get it than it would to build the sets in Hollywood.” Mr. Garnett had scenarios of

| three pictures he will make with ‘him so that he knew exactly what

background he wanted on the cruise that took him to the Orient, Near East, and Europe.

By United Press | Ck HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 14.—Darryl Zanuck, production chief at 20th Century-Fox, and Warner Brothers were reported battling again, this time over an idea for a picture, The producer announced recently he would make a picture based on the great Chicago fire and Warners immediately said they had the idea six months ago. Mr. nuck demanded to know why they didn’t do something about it and rusiics preparations for the film. Producer Zanuck clashed fre-

| quently with Warners over story

ideas when 20th Century was associated with United Artists. He apparently is carrying the feud over to the Fox lot.
