(sMolbfwaoa, R&p&Uek What with point rationing forcing many Hollywood stars to reduce, Warners’ Sidney Greenstreet has a lot to worry about. According to a new contract which the rotund star has just penned, he is to keep his weight above 200 pounds, or oof he goes. Laff of the week : 20th’.s Tyrone Power in his marine corps haircut. After seeing the star minus some of the black locks, it's ea3y to see where most of the Power glamour came from. Tys last pic, “Crash Dive," a story of the submarine service, will soon be released. Latest elopement to rock Holly- I wood was the announcement that I T Dorsey and MOM'S Pat Dane I are Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey is in the I film Capitol making another film. Pal; is working regularly on the Metro lot. Her latest was “Some where I'll Find You/' with Gable. Incidentally, she’ll have to go a long way to find Gable now, the | handsome iooie is serving in flag- | land. 1 Somewhere on this page you'll y find a picture of Mrs, Phil Har /I. jl' X MIj ris, alias Alice Faye, giving- out for Payne and Oakie in “Hello, Eriaco, Hello," wliich opened Thursday at the Mac for a six-day run. The film’s chief attraction is Miss Faye, whom press agents claim lost nine pounds for the opus. Naturally, they don’t say she could stand to lose about 25. However, 20th ought to be glad to get her back, as their recent musicomedies have lacked something for the past year. Saddened fans who enjoy Kay Kyser, and rumor has it that there are quite a few of these characters about, even on the college campuses where they should know better, were ready to start shed ding er3at.2 tears when Kay was set for army induction. But their hpppy little hearts are again high, for Doc K. (not of musical knowledge, but a pharmacy degree from N.C. university) was re jected, because of arthritis and other things. Kay is now sending the chilluns back to the cornfields again. Only question: how can Kyser leap about so if he is practically a walking corpse ? Local show houses offer diver sified bills for the weekend. The Heilig has “This Land Is Mine,” heavy drayma, with Chuck Laugh ton, roly-poly British star, and Maureen O'Hara, refined Irish washerwoman. The film is one of those heavy deals, the kind that give you something to think about these days when we all have nothing to do but sit about and look happy. To insure completion of the liUU : : I lecnnieoior rum version or li ving Berlin’s "This Is the Army" in time for its July 4 world premiere, five production units are at work on various phases of the show at Warner Bros. Director Mike Curtiz is putting George Murphy, Ronald Reagan, George Tobias, A.lun Hale and other members of the cast through a ,backstage number; Kate Smith is recording "God Bless America," With 1)0 singers; 75 soldiers are at work on the “American Eagles" number; 30 chorus girls are rehearsing a “Ziegfeld Follies" routine; and 70 dancers are dabbing in taps for the “Well Dressed Man in Harlem" number. Absur i character: James Fiddler, McNaught Syndicate’s Holly wood Reporter, who sometimes puts his readers in peculiar positions. Take his quote from Sunday’s release: “If you’re the sensitive type, never strike up a conversation with Greer Garscn just before she’s to play a dramatic scene.” Isn't that clever. Just imagine you and l ,.alking into Greet s dressing room. Just as we get to the door, you whisper quitetly to me: "I know you’re the sensitive type, so don't strike up a conversation with Greer, she’s just about to do a dramatic scene." Sometimes we wonder whether or not Fiddler knows Carson. Ht/iTK FLASHES: John Lodor assigned important role with Ida Lupino and Paul Hcnreid in In Our Time" at War ner Bros . .

Sing a dirge for a dream that has vanished away Like a bubble that's pricked by a pin.
