HOILT.YWOOD, C: July 19.—One of the ways Hollywood may lower its picture budgets to meet foreign revenue losses is in the use of lesser known, less expensive but promising support for its stars. 'he lumping of three or (see “Boom Town" with Gable four big names in a single picture Tracy, Colbert, Lamarr) would be extremely rare if not abandoned. Instead would be pictures boast- ing two or even one top name, the lesser roles being taken by newcomers who thus would have more opportunity to “crash” than ever before. . . . The newcomers, as always, would have to demonstrate their capacities before making important strides. But they are getting their chances, as witness: Lana Turner, Mary Beth Hughes, Linda Darnell, Carole Landis, Alan Curtis — prospects for eventual stardom, all getting lead roles even now. . . . | Astaire’s nimble (for Paramount release) This is the movie in which Artie Shaw, band leader.
