The prop men, forced to be cooks because food is a prop, also have to cater to a temperamental star's individual preferences. “Nothing will agitate an actor more and throw him off stride than having to eat something he doesn’t like,” Harry Grundstrom, prop man, said. “The wrong dish could do. an actor out of an Academy Award.” Another problem with screen . food is to make it so tender a

A SMUGGLING DRAMA, “To the Ends of the Earth,” has Dick Powell as a U, 8. government agent involved in a huge Jap-Chinese conspiracy to smuggle all kinds of contraband into the U.8. Mr, Powell for a time suspects Signe Hasso, charming widow he meets in Shanghai, of heading the vicious ring. For the sake of their happiness and yours, it's just as well she isn’t.
