Hollywood Gets an Entertainer
RED SKELTON'S ex-wife, Edn
a, used to write his gags. Maybe
she still does. Anyway, there's another ¢ouple in Hollywood where the comedian married his gag-writer. They are Danny and Sylvia Kaye. Like ‘Skelton, Kaye has arrived, after beating his brains out for years on the vaudeville circuit. The difference- is that after’ finishing his first picture, Kaye goes to the army. He's satisfied. .
One day, Danny was an obscure entertainer in assorted night clubs. Next day, he was the guy people came to see in “Let's Face It.” His particular brand of comedy is something wonderful. How Hollywood will handle it is a mystery.
Unlike Skelton, Kaye doesn’t tell jokes. He's a satirist, an impersonator, 4 dancer and an interpreter of songs. His interpretations are like nothing you ever heard before. Danny Kaye didn’t become Danny Kaye, he insists, until he met Sylvia Fine in 1938; They had been neighbors for 12 years in the same block in Brooklyn, but they didn’t meet until they worked together in a revue. Then she started writing routines for him. They got married in 1940 and that settled any question of Sylvia's salary that might have arisen. Danny and Sylvia got into the chips when Moss Hart, the producer caught Danny's night club act. Hart gave the singer a part in “Lady in the Dark” and it worked out happily for everybody, especially Kaye. He made his stage debut as a watermelon seed in a production of a minstrel show by Public Schqol 149. He tried to become

Post-war Films UNDER AN arrangement with the state department,’ the department of ecommerce is taking a survey of foreign film markets. Last winter, the commerce department ‘sent questionnaires to all U. S. consulate offices to ascertain what kind of filmg foreign nations will like after the war. . A similar survey is being taken by British movie interests in the same countries, The British are particularly interested in expanding film business throughout South America and the Soviet Union. Hollywood is interested in these areas, too, as well as in China, India, Australia and Africa. Robert E. Sherwood, director of the OWI overseas branch, has announced the agency's intent to speed the distribution of U. 8S. films in occupied lands as soon as they are recovered. American films abroad will be handled at- first by OWI, Mr. Sherwood said, in order to insure quick distribution. Later, distribution will be turned over to the film companies. : In Africa, OWI has restored commercial distribution channels to private distributors, after handling American film products for several months Mr, Sherw revealed that OWI now has stationed in Africa, Britain and other lands a number of "employees who happen to be qualified motion picture theater operators. They are not running movie houses now, of course, but that’s what they will do when occupied territory is reconquered. » ” tJ
FOLLOWING our note of last week, that old movies will be revived over the summer due to a lack of sufficient new pictures, comes the announcement from Paramount that “Union Pacific” (Cecil B.

Nightmares End as Queen
+ Of Horrors
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, June 1. — Today we give you Miss Evelyn Ankers, queen of the horrors. Miss Ankers spends, her days. in the clutches of Universal's ghosts, wolf men, frankensteins, wild women, Draculas and ghouls. At this writing “The Mad Ghoul” is after her and she is screaming piteously,
| but vainly, for help.
You would, too. Seems that the crazed doctor, George Zucco, has discovered a mysterious gas that brings corpses to life. So he digs up the body of David Bruce and blows life into it. Then the doctor turns Bruce into a ghoul to dig up more bodies to turn into slaves. So the ghoul goes mad and . . . Yeah, that’s Miss Ankers you hear screaming. Studio a scream that perts. These babies had been making horror pictures for a decade, with an assortment of ladies falling into the clutches of the “evil ones. The ladies’ screams, unfortunately, became squeaks on the sound track. This . made it necessary for the studio to hire a special screamer, whose howls were dubbed into the final prints. This was complicated, expensive and not altogether satisfactory, because these phonographic screams all sounded alike. Had no heart in ’em. The boys kept their eyes (and their ears) open for a girl who was beautiful, who could act, and who also could scream. Their search ended a few years back when the British-born Miss Ankers came to town in the stage play, “Ladies in Retirement.” Every night, just before the final curtain, her screams rang through the theater, vibrated the windows, sent feminine members of the audience into hysterics and their escorts to the bar across the street. Universal grabbed Miss Ankers. She has been screaming ever since in such epics as “Hold That Ghost,” “Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of
Screams Plea She gives out wit
Meets Dracula
Terror,” “Captive Wild Woman,” “The Ghost of Frankenstein,” and “The Son of Dracula.” The special screamer has lost her job. Miss Ankers said there was some compensation to having the goriest gents in the repertoire of makeup expert Jack Pierce grab her and begin leering. In the old days she said she used to suffer every night from nightmares, Not any more. Her days are so horrible that her nights are peaceful. On the other side of the ledger is the fact that screaming is hard on a girl's throat. As soon as this picture is finished she’s having her tonsils out; they've been irritated by her screams. The mad ghoul, who goes after Miss Ankers between stints of tearing hearts out of dead bodies, is David Bruce, as revised by Prof, Pierce,
. Ask ‘Fresh Cadaver’
“All they told me,” Pierce said, “was that they wanted Bruce to look like a reasonably fresh cadaver. I said, how fresh? They said a couple or three weeks buried. This was not much to go on, but I did my best. They seem satisfied.” The mad ghoul, having sat in Pierce’s barber chair for three hours, emerged with his skin puckered and shrunk and a vague green-ish-gray. Then director James
started chasing Miss Ankers through the cemetery. heard her scream. You really should. To the rescue came the newest screen leading man, Turhan Bey, whose mother was European, whose father was Turkish, and whose movie career to date has been strictly villanous. Now he’s a hero. “And finding it very difficult,” he said. “It used to be that I never got the girl without grabbing her and tieing her up with a rope. Then they’d shoot me. Now I get the girl without grabbing. And I always wapt to grab, I can’t’break myself of it.”
