played against i background of
war, one thing that never ceases
to amaze movie-goers is the feel
ing of utter realism experienced in1
seeing battle scenes on the screen.
It is not rare to hear one say,
"It looks so authentic you'd al
most think It's the real McCoy."!

it speaks well for the management
of the company that there were no

sprained ankles and brush burns
did result but these were minor
to-what dynamite can do and has
done on movie sets.
It is ironic that one accident
which came closest to tragedy
could have happened on a movie
set in the studio. A huge "brute"

'Bridey' Will Open Sunday
Bel WEEN HEAVEN AND HELL", a dramatic action film
of World War II in the Pacific is now playing at the Es
quire Theater. Terry Moore and Robert Wagner are
shown here in a romantic scene from the film.
ISobody in the audience will go
into a trance while watching "The
Search for Bridey Murphy" on the
screen, if Paramount studio can
help it. While filming the Morcy
Berstein best-seller the studio kept
each hypnosis induction period of
star Teresa Wright purposely short.
Co-star Louis llayward, playing
the role of Bernstein, makes with
the go-to-sleep bit several times
but keeps the routine down to 20
seconds per trance. This film will
lw shown at the Tower Theater
Sunday.
The new picture brings to the
screen the story of Huth Sim
mons. Colorado housewife who ex
perienced "age "regression" while
hypnotized and revealed "a for
mer life" as Bridey Murphy in
Ireland in the 19th century.
Over 200.000 hard-back copies of
Morcy Bernstein's "The Search for
Bridey Murphy" have been sold in
the nation's book stores: over a
million paperbacks are being print
ed. Bridey will be read in 16 for-

places as Mechanix Illustrated, a
Town Hall panel, and a night club
act in Las- Vegas. Even Liberace
climbed on Bridey's bus. The Den
ver Post sent reporter Rill Bar
ker to Ireland to conduct his "own
search."
" TEA AND SYMPATIiy.'-1llGM s film version of the great broad,

OLIVIA DI HAVILLAND
Olivia Appears
In Dior Gown
As every married man well
knows by now, no problem tn a
woman's life calls for a more pro
found decision than deciding tne
question of what she should wear
on any occasion.
And film star Olivia de Havilland
was no exception when she had to
select a gown for a scene for her
current United Artists film. "The
Ambassador's Daughter," Cinema-i
Scope-Technicolor film opening
Wednesday at the Esquire Theater
This despite the fact that none
other than the world - .renowned
French couturier. Christian Dior,
created a fabulous wardrobe for
Livvy to w.ear in the film pro
duced and directed by Norman
Krasna.
"What color gown do you want
me to wear in the Embassy
scene?" Miss de Havilland asked
Krasna one day. "1 arrive in a
blue -car with a beige background.
And the soldiers' uniforms are
beige."
"Honey," replied Krasna reahi'
ing 'the seriousness of the situa'
tion. 'If you want to wear beige,
we'll just change the soldiers' uni
forms!"
