‘Come On Up' Begins 3-Day Performance

Mae West's New Play Offered at English's

Thanksgiving entertainment offerings seem “fairly routine today. With the exception of Mae West, starting a three-day run at English’s in her new play, “Come On Up,” the legitimate and concert stage offers no special holiday attraction. “Come On Up,” with a title based on the phrase Miss West made famous, 15 years ago, evidently presents

ations and gags, with the new angle of international espionage. If anybody could foil enemy spies, the star of “She Done Him Wrong” should ‘be able to Twe Film Openings On the screen are two important openings today: “The Stranger,” with Edward G. Robinson, Loretta Young and Orson Welles, at the Circle (“Genius at Work,” with Wally Brown and Alan Carney is the second feature), and another big Latin-American musical, “The Thrill of Brazil,” at Keith's. The Brazil opus includes Evelyn Keyes, Keenan Wynn, Ann Miller and Allyn Joslyn in its stellar realm. The supporting cast features Tito Guizar and Veloz and Yolanda, familiar to local audiences through Byrne-Page-Ross importation to the Murat. Loew's theater is currently presenting Katharine Hepburn and Robert Taylor in “Undercurrent,” one of those suspense-suspicion tangles. ’ Time Schedules Vary At the Indiana, “Three Little Girls in Blue,” with June Haver, George ‘Montgomery, Vivian Blaine, Celeste , Holm, Vera-Ellen and Frank Latimore, is the lively, Tech-nicolor-musical offering. The Lyric is putting on a double bill of re-releases: Gary and Jean Arthur in “The Plainsman” and Dorothy Lamour and Ray Milland in “The Jungle Princess.” Neighborhood theaters are announcing varying schedules for matinees today. Better consult the ads before starting out, since opening times vary from 12:45 to 4 p.m.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 28 (U. P.).— Richard Greene's back, girls, and “Forever Amber's” got him. But she had to him without his “dimples.” And before you start stampeding 20th Century-Fox, it must be explained right here that he’s still got those dimples. That, he said today, was “blasted tough luck.” But he’ll be hanged if he's gonna let the movie-makers concentrate on ‘em. And if he gets a chance to cover the darn things up with fake whiskers and rubber wrinkles, he'll snap at it. Seems the Greene lad did a lot of thinking during his four years with the British Lancers. He came back determined to turn down those “dimpled parts” that made him the dream boy of the ladies before the War, Last-Reel Clinch In those days he was always the clean-cut young man who flashed his dimples at the leading lady and —bang. There they were in a lastreel clinch. It took practically no

effort on Mr. Green's part at all. That was the trouble, It didn’t take any acting, either. “And after a while one gets fed up being charming on the screen,” he added. look handsome.”

reasons Mr. Greene dropped everything six years ago and joined up as a trooper in the British Royal armored corps. He had to go to Canada to do it, though. He also had to convince a skeptical Canadian colonel it wasn’t all just a publicity stunt. Now he’s back in Hollywood after four years action overseas. In fact, he’s been back almost a year. And if you're wondering why 20th Cen-tury-Fox didn't pop him smack into a movie, you can blame those dimples again. “They tried to put me right to work,” Mr. Greene said. “In fact they offered me four parts. But I turned them all down. They

were just more of the same fluff I'd been stuck with before I left.” He was, he told the boys in the front office, holding out for more mature stuff. Offer him a charaeter role, he said, and see how fast he came back to work. The studio figured maybe he had a case of battle fatigue, or something. Here was a 26-year-old, gent six feet tall, with a handsome face and curly hair,” Perfect bobbysox bait if they ever saw it. And he wanted to camouflage it all with character makeup!

up with the role of Sir Harry Alsbury in their trouble-plagued “Fors ever Amber.” Mr. Greene will be oné of the boys who appear with Linda Darnell in the “Amber” picture.” He gets to hide his curls with a long wig and those blasted dimples with a gay-dog mustache. Partly, anyway.
