But these lands have been used as @ cattle-range for years, and the cattlemen of the district, facing ruin, unite to oppose the promo- ters. O'Brien, a leader of the cow- men, sets out to get evidence of the colcnization scheme, but the task is dangerous and difficult, and involves him deeply in trouble A hectic romance with a young newspaperwoman on the side of the promoters is also woven into the exciting plot, with pretty Mar- jorie Reynolds in the role. Chill Robert Fiske, Earl Dwirs, Morgan Wallace and Guy Usher have the other principal roles in the RKO Radio production. David Howard directed. Also on the screen is a second feature of intrigue and mystery in the Panama Canal Zone, with the wellknown Sidney Toler in the lead as the Chinese detective, Char- lic Chan. The film is entitled; “Charlie Chan in Panama.” IR Y In Hollywood 'By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD—July 23—You can't talk to Carol ‘Bruce more than five minutes before you begin to sus-| pect she’s worth the gamble Frank | Lloyd is taking on her. She's pretty, as everybody knows —pretty in a different way, dark,| with long dark hair, light blue eyes, | and a figure. Everybody knows ithat, too, who can look at a pic- ture, because Carol,' since she, knocked over Broadway in “The| Louisiana Purchase,” has had her| peauty generously printed. She has' a voice“that's low; a lttle husky, exciting. And she's alive, not one or| these painted - dolls whose ersats| vitality dwells in a make-up kit. But what makes -her worth a million-dollar gamble is the mr.f that - she knows, despite what she’s a gamble. | Lloyd, ready to make a movie| from the novel, “I, James Lewis,” needed a leading lady. He'd have preferred a ‘“name”—what pro- ducer-director doesn’t — but ‘names” ~ weren't running around loose, except for a few who didn't fit the part. There was this Bruce kid, signed by. Universal but still )in' the: Broadway show, so why not test her? tHe did. Carol flew out over a weekend, tested, and flew back. Lloyd ~was satisfied. Carol flew west again. 8he went from air~ port to:studio, and started ward- robe and make-up tests, and with- in the week she was on location at Lake Tahoe, facing a movie camera in a dramatic role—a 21- year-old girl whose only previous dramatic experience had been modeling clothes in & wholesale house for $20 a week, singing with bands ‘and ' nightclubs, singing” ‘in musical shows. Lloyd took his pretty calf by the horns, first day out. Gave her her toughest dramatic scene, SO she’d know that the worst was over and ‘could ~relax., Days later, when -she began to feel at ease, he shot the-scene again—right. Carol thinks Walter Brennan is a wonder. Brennan plays the sea- captain who has a yen for his pretty stowaway, a yen shared also by Fanchot Tone and” John Carroll. ‘They're calling the movie “This Woman Is 'Mine,” which gives a good idea, The first day Brennan showed' up for work he found Carol trembling. She told him ‘she’ was| scared of this dramatic business.| “You're scared?” sald Wllt/er.‘ “Look- at me}”’ So. Carol figured that if a fel-| low who had won three Oscars had | the jitters over a new role, maybe she wasn’t so far out of step. It got | her through the day. Today Carol is wearing a buck- | skin dress — a little thing cap‘nr Brennan bought from the Indians | in Oregon to replace her own ward- | robe, tattered after the long voyage ‘round the Hom. The Indians had | & little help from Vera West, the designer, or else the 1810 grapevine had carried ahead the interesting | Lutheran Church ‘building at Sitka, Alaska, Plans may be obtained -mur from the architect, Harold Foss, Juneau, Alaska, or Frank secretary of the Board of Directors, sitka, Alaska.
