As the American-born wife of a i wealthy Brazilian Baron, Alice Faye | has an opportunity to wear many sophisticated ultra-modern gow which provide a spectacular back- !ground for her delightful singing. Don’s role was one of the most | difficult to film. His was the first dual Technicolor part—that of a | Brazilian Baron and an American ‘nlght club performer. The prob- |lem confronting the cameramen | was that of making the densities and color qualities of each of Ame- che’s two characterizations match exactly when they appear together on the same piece of celluloid. Glamorous Carmen Miranda, the exotic Brazilian songstress is given an opportunity to emote through- out the full length of the film, and emote she does . To make certain that nothing of- fensive to Brazilian sensibilities or unrepresentative of native customs would find their way into the film, the studio submitted the script to the Brazilian Embassy in Washing- ton for approval. As a double check, a Brazilian newspaperman in Hol- lywood was hired as a technicial director. ‘SUN SWEATER' — carol Winters models a kelly green "llln sweuler" .nd striped shnrh at a Los An‘eles pooL Comingfo Screen Here -—— Verbal Batfle Over Superiority of War Weapons Amplified (Continued from Page One) pack are mobility. ‘To put the carv where it belongs: Weapons based on strategic plans.

As for the Japs' Zero fighters: I 7 heard a navy man, who also is a congressman, give the U S, a lash- ing for not having anything to compare with them. He talked of the punishment they had dealt to Navy PBY flying boats. But the navy’s big flying boats are patrol and reconnaissance planes, while the Zeros are short-range fighters. ‘The proof of the pudding is in the eating. For example: * Over Hengyang (in Hunan pmv- ince) a small force of former AVG | “Flying Tigers” recently went against 29 Zeros, knocked off nine for certain, possibly ten, losing only three planes themselves, At Midway seven naval ran into 20 Zeros, knocked out seven and lost one.
