Trouble Now | Is Airports
Se
Film Companies Squeezed
By Defense Program.
HOLLYWOOD, July 26 (U. P) — The national defense program, with its enmiphasis upon the training of aviation pilots, has caused a serious shortage of airports available to the motion picture industry, As a result, the movies mav be forced to build “dummy” airports as they long have used “dumranches for Western films This situation ‘was brought to light ‘when Paramount sought a fiving field to make a few scenes for ‘Arise My Love,” a comedy starring Claudette Colbert and Ray Milland. Location men, who up to a few weeks ago could have bore rowed any airport in Southern Calitornia, suddenly found they couldn't get any field For Few Days Only We checked more than a score fields in Southern California,’ Norman Lacey, Paramount location manage: We needed 0 make only three scenes with Miss Colbert and Milland taking off in & tri-motored ship In ne 7] ith

Benny Goodman's Old Band Leaves Will More Good Music and Boogie=~Waoogie Too
Ry JAMES
From his sickbed in the Mave Clinic at Rochester, Minn, Benny yoodman has announced he will organize “a new kind of band” when he recovers from his current bout with sciatica. So the present Goodman ensemble has broken up. But they have left us something to remember them bv in three dises available under the Columbia label Best of the trio is a bargainpacked item which includes “Just Like Takin’ Candy From a Baby” and “Whe Cares.” Guest star is Fred Astaire who, on the first side. not only sings but also provides a couple of tap-dancing choruses. On the reverse Fred just sings—=-but well! He's several lengths ahead of most popular songsters With Helen Forrest doing the vocals, the Goodmanites also give us “Every Sunday Afternoon” from “Higher and Higher” and “Devil May Care” on one record, and two songs from ‘Andy Hardy Meets Debutante’” on the other-—"“I'm Nobody's Baby” and “Buds Won't Bud.” Unaccountably this Jatter tune didn't get into the movie. Tt's decidedly better than its companion. » ” ~
Alto from Columbia: Ray Noble, a too infrequent recorder, still has one of the best bands in the business, and certainly one of the best arrangers. His platter of two tunes from “‘Louisiana Purchase,” the title song and “Outside of That, T Love You,” further proof. The first side has some real old New Orleans jazz embellished by suave orchestration. Mary Ann Warren and Larry Stewart offer songful collaboration on the other side Kate Smith fans will want Kate's waxing of four more selections from Trving Berlin's melodious “Louisiana Purchase” score. The two records contain “t's a Lovely Day Tomorrow,” “You Can't Brush Me OR." “The Lord Done Fixed Up My Soul” and ‘You're Lonely and I'm Lonely.” A hep-cat's holiday provided by Columbia in four records by as many sterling exponents of jam and jive. Best of the lot, and an absoInte must for swing collectors, is something cryptically titled “Beat Me Daddy (Eight to the Bar)” done on two sides of a 10-inch disc by Will Bradley and his band. Then there's Jimmie Lunceford's “What's Your Story, Mornin’ Glory" (low down and draggin’) and “I Got | "” (which is solid as they make | ‘em). Also Gene Krupa's “No Name | Jive” and “Six Lessons From Ma- | dame La Zonga.” And Count Basie out with “Somebody Stole My Gal” and "Let's Make Hev! While the Sun Shines.”
