Dick Peirce Plays at Roof
I3 Musicians Earn Money And Have Fun.
Indianapolis’ young man with a band is 18-year-old Dick Peirce, Shortridge high school senior, who has been in the band business one year now and finds it improving. For, one thing, older. bands are
breaking up as their instrumentalists are called to the service. So the young men are taking over the band music fleld and doing well with it.
Has 13 Musicians
Mr. Peirce organized his band after playing for a spell with Harry Haines and the result has been continuous employment for 13 young musicians who average $22 a week for three nights of fun. The band’s first job was at’ DePauw. Mr. Peirce simply told une class dance committee about his band and got the job. Since then, he’s been playing college and ~izaternity dances and six month climbed up to the Indiana Roof.
Adds a Vocalist
Mr. Peirce is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Peirce, 1235 N. Delaware st, His ambition is to do what he is doing now, only more so. He's made a good start, acquired a pretty vocalist by the name of Linda Page and his band seems to have what it takes. They're going on tour of Midwest vacation spots this summer. Mr. Peirce and his team have found that the dance band business is becoming a young man’s affair right now. They are making the most of it.

VOICE from the Balcony by RICHARD LEWIS
RKO BOOKERS DON'T KNOW whether Orson Welles’ Mercury production of Booth Tarkington’s “The Magnificent Ambersons” will
be premiered in Indianapolis or not,.
Our guess is that it will. The
build-up is already starting with flocks of photos pouring from the
studio’s publicity stables.
The bookers are mystified. They don’t even have a schedule on In.
The magnificent Orson himself is wandering around in South America and can’t be, reached for comment. : Speaking of | premieres, it is interesting to note why the world premiere of “My Gal Sal” wheih was orig= inally scheduled at the Indiana Friday blew up. The story was } based on . the life of Paul Dresser, turn-of-the-century Hoosier songwriter, and brother to novelist Theodore Dreiser who approved the script. So it was a natural for a Hoosierland premiere. Tommy Thompson, genial 20thCentury Fox publicity man for this territory, was so hepped up about it that he threw a feed for the local press to make the announcement. Rita Hayworth and a couple of others were to make personal appearances on the Indiana’s stage. All the trimmings. One morning last week, , Tommy phoned with great woe! in his voice. The world premiere is off, he said sadly. Entertainment priorities. Rita and the rest of them were snatched up for army
- camp entertainment.
But this isn’t the only film with premiere trouble. The elaborate
junkets movie people are called
upon to make around the country’ to puff their pictures are being cancelled all along. Railroads 2an’t supply private cars and won't guarantee even upper berths
on the return trip. ” td ”

Boston Poll
BOSTON THEATER patrons definitely do not want war pictures, according to the results of a poll conducted by the Boston papers. Sixty-nine per cent of the theater-goers polled want something to take their minds of the war. . Skeptical at the poll's results, theater managers did some polling of their own in their own lobbies by passing slips to patrons. The result was even more emphatic. To the query “Do you like war pictures?” 74 per cent replied “no.” What did they want? The poll indicated their preference for semi-comedy fllms, not slapstick, but subtle. 8 ” ” THE WAR DEPARTMENT is cracking down on studios, song publishers and other outfits which exploit the names of war heroes for profit. A music publisher may not plaster Gen. MacArthur's picture on the cover of a song and one studio was forbidden to use the title, “The Little MacArthurs” on a movie featuring the “Dead-end Kids.” The ban, however, hasn't affeced "Republic Studio’s “scoop” title, “The Flying Tigers,” based on the exploits of the American fliers serving in China and Burma. “ ‘The Flying Tigers’ is the prize title of the Hollywood season and matches in marquee value the scoop title, ‘Remember Pearl Harbor’ which also belongs to Republic,” the studio’s press agents bragged. Well, it’s finally happened. Robert Stack, Broderick Crawford and Andy Deviné will have the prin-
"cipal male roles in Universal's
next “super-western,”—“Deep in the Heart of Texas.” » » ”
New U. S. Film
THE U. 8. DEPARTMENT of agriculture has just completed another of its superb, documen= tary films, “The Land.” It is the story of erosion which in a single century has destroyed one-seventh of the nation’s arable land. The director is Robert J. Flaherty who comments: “We have squandered our soil at such a rate that in less than a century more, if we go on.as we have in the past, the days of this nation’s strength will be numbered.” | Starting at Des Moines a year ago, Mr. Flaherty traveled in a single camera car across the nation and back again from Pennsylvania to California and from the Canadian border in Minnesota to the southern tip of Texas on the Rio Grande. Wonder why films like this aren’t shown in these parts?

Spencer TRACY Hedy LAMARR ¢ John GARFIELD
in Victor Fleming’s Production of ohn Steinbeck’s
“TORTILLA FLAT” A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Picture
DIRECTED BY: Victor Fleming PRODUCED BY:......Sam Zimbalist SCREENPLAY BY: John Lee Mahin and Benjamin Glazer FEATURED ARTISTS~Frank Mor, Akim Tamiroff, Sheldon Leonard, Qualen, D Meek, Connie Gilchrist, Allen Jenkins, Bor) O'Neill.
RAPID REVIEW (Read 2 minutes and g0): As heady and warming as new wine «+.i8 M-G-M’s latest venture in turning a great book into a great picture. “Tortilla Flat”, John Steinbeck’s idyll of the carefree “Paisano among the Pines”, is in M-G-M’s splendid tradition of literary works faithfully pictured. It happens in-old Monterey by the Pacific, a strange world apart. Steinbeck, with his genius for depicting unusual people (“Grapes of Wrath”), has found in his own native locale these wayward, wonderful characters. They are often in trouble but never really bad. Love, food and dritk are their absorbing occupations and the tinkle of the guitar is ever mingled with the sound of laughter. Here, Spencer Tracy, as “Pilon”, is leader among those down. to-earth convivials who believe that Wine, Women, and Song are essentials of the gay life. Hedy Laniarr is a turbulent, tempting spitfire of a shapely lass—and John Garfield is happy-go-lucky Danny, who turns serious about love. Great direction stemming from Victor Fleming. Hem egaphoned “Captains Courageous’ and “Gone With The Wind” among Fs others and again gives you something entirely new under the sun in “Tortilla Flat”. » TRACE TRACY — through all his wonderful performances and you’ll agree that he’s best of all as “Pilon”!
HEADY HEDY: As “Sweets”, Hedy Lamarr is equal parts of fire and fun!
HE DIDNT SEND FLOWERS: You'll be overcome with laughter when Danny (John Garfield) sends “Sweets” a vacuum cleaner to show his love. Her house wasn’t wired but there was electricity in the air. NoTE TO DoG LOVERS: See the old “Pirate” and his five dogs (he calls them his “boys”)—as tatterdemalion and lovable a group of man’s best friend as you've ever seen! Frank Morgan as the Pirate gives an off itsbsatenszack performance] :
