Y A N K E E at King A rth u r’s
* * C ourt” has been screened
three tim es; Param ount’s new ver­
sion is the best of the three. Done
in Technicolor, w ith d eligh tfu l new
songs, it stars Bing Crosby, Sir
Cecil H ardw ick, Rhonda Flem ing
and W illiam Bendix. S ir CeciL su­
perb in his comedy role as the
king, raises his voice in song and
Bing Crosby
also appears w ith bare knees, some­
thing new fo r him , though he said
recently at luncheon that i t ’ s the
second tim e the knees have ap­
peared publicly. The firs t tim e was
on the stage, when he wore a
Roman toga. This is a picture fo r
the whole fa m ily to enjoy, expert­
ly directed and acted, beautifully
staged.
Param ount w ill te ll m ovie audien­
ces about 11 of its new pictures in
a nine-m inute short, “ Eyes on

and M ary Jane Saunders, it de­
picts the th rills of a child seeing
the inside w orkings of a studio the
firs t tim e. Stars, directors, every­
body w ill be seen in special scenes.
The film w ill be available to thea­
ters w ithout charge.
King, dog veteran of numer­
ous landings in the Pacific
during the w ar, makes his
screen debut in "A fte r M id ­
n ig h t." In his fir s t scene he
leaped at Alan Ladd, tore his
leather Jacket to shreds, and
hung on in a struggle on the
ground—then, when D irector
M itch e ll Leisen called "C u t,”
K ing im m ediately relaxed his
g rip and trie d to lic k Ladd’s
face!
Another a nim al actor celebrated
his 13th b irth d a y the other day,
on the set of M onogram ’s "The
K id Came West.” He was Rebel,
the black horse used by Johnny
Mack Brown and his b irthday cake
was made of straw, w ith carrots
for candles.
F red grinned delightedly. En­
route to the station he began to
smile. And by the tim e he had
boarded the 8:15 the sm ile had de­
veloped into an occasional chuckle.
Tom Cooke, who usually sat w ith
Fred during the short run to the
c ity , became curious.
"Say, w hat’ s eating you this
m orning? L et a man in on it if
you’ ve got something th a t’ll fetch
a laugh these d u ll days.”
F red laughed outright. " I ’l l te ll

"W ha t’s
