e STARTING TONIGHT THEATRE _The Show Place of Juneau HANDICAP JITTERS LATEST NEWS FLASHES EXTRA! SCOOP! EXTRA! Talking News Pictures of the U. §. mSUBM}\ Hollywood Sights And Sosunds By Robbin Coeoms June 14. — Only yesterday Hollywood lets and reaped a harvest, mainly through De a Durbin and Judy Garland. Today Deanna and Judy are entering their more gracious 'teens—and the second crop is ready to go to market. Maybe there always were children who could turn a coloratura trick. Deanna put the spotlight on them, and by her own screen work paved their way. There are now at least four youngsters who can and do tackle operatic arias with collected calmness— youngsters who are making it tough for the “just-so-cute” school of kiddie acters whose principal asset is curls and a smile and baby talk. Jacqueline Nash, 9, is being introduced in “Music School” with Jascha Heifetz. Linda Wi 13, is hitting the high notes in “The Star-Maker” with Bing C: y. Lena Lynn, also 13, has just had her option lifted by Metro (which ought to please the Passaic, N. J., schoolmates who financed her trip here with their dimes) and is getting her chance to sing in “Babes in Arms.” And Joe Pasternak, the producer who promoted Durbin, has a new one in Gloria Jeans, 11, from Buffalo, N. Y. Jackie Nash and Leni Lynn are being promoted, frankly, as musical “finds.” With Linda and Gloria, however, there has been an attempt to keep their musical talents “quiet” until their pictures are out. Youll find no word in Glorida’s studio “biography,” for instance, to indicate that she has an exceptional voice. Joe Pas- ternak, whose producing debut with Deanna in “Three Smart Girls” was the more effective because the film was unheralded planted a ¢ Whatever the Weather.. You'll be sure to find just what will “hit the spot” on the Luncheon and Dinner menus al — PERCY’S in advance, is using the same tactics with Gloria. There is “hush- hush” at Paramount too when mention is made of Linda’s vocaliz- ing. You're supposed to be surprised. (Please do, won't you?) Linda Ware and Jackie Nash, because their picture started first, will be up for inspection before Leni and Gloria. On Paster- nak’s record with Durbin films, I'd predict that Gloria will have the most fortunate debut of the quartet—simply because the story in which she appears, “The Under-Pup,” is a story built around a little girl and her problems, Linda Ware appears as a “discovery” of star-maker Crosby, Jackie sings as a pupil in the “music school” of her film, and Leni is spotted in the filming of a Broadway musical. As with Deanna, Pasternak has cast Gloria in a role in which she is only incidentally a singer. The “under-pup” is a poor little girl with a lot of family who wins a prize that sends her to an exclusive camp for wealthy girls whose families are too “busy” to bother much. Gloria gets into trouble, but she wins out in the end. The story is that simple—with adornments of human inter- est and occasional song—and it’s the formula, if you want to call it that, that has made the Durbin films so appealing. In person Gloria is “sweet” rather than “cute,” and she has the same sort of poise that distinguished Deanna at her debut. The amazing resemblance between her and her idol (Deanna) is more easily noted in real life than on film. She also shares with Deanna a resemblance, in some facial characteristics, to an- other singer—Marion Talley. { ? “SQUALUS" DISASTER What Is Your News I. Q.?
