It's a plan for Ginger Rogers, who swept to dancing fame and fortune with Fred Astaire, showed an incredulous Hollywood she | could portray light comedy or deep a! drama with equal facllity, won a top Academy Award and now will | take a turn at producing as well ag acting. The plan becomes effective as | soon as she completes her current starrer, “Heartbeat,” and lakes a between - pictures rest, probably { about the first of the year. | For 1946, 1947 and 1948 gor- geous Ginger will make exactly two pictures a year. Three of them will be made for | RKO under a new contract. | Three of them will be made by a | new corporation, The Rogers Pro- ductions, to be released through | RKO. | Probably this will be the most | affectionate company in screen | history. Its officers are Ginger, her mother, Mrs. Lela Rogers, a top flight movie figure in her own right, and the star’s husband, handsome Sgt. John Calvin Briggs II, of the United States Marines. Sergéant Briggs, an actor before he went into service more than three years ago, is home from the Pacific, to go to officers candidate school. It'll be a very fluid corporation, one which can be adjusted to meet almost any situation. Ginger, of course, will star in its films, al- though, 1f the company should find unusual properties in which there would be no part for her, 't prob- ably would produce them with an- other star. Only one iron-clad rule has been established for Rogers Productions —they must be “entertainment’— spelled with a capital “E.” Propaganda Out Mrs. Rogers, one of Ginger's closest advisers, has somg very definite ideas on that score—one of them being that the screen is no place for propaganda. She says: “The motion picture business is one of the very few businesses where customers are asked to pay in advance for something they can- not see first, and the public should be protected. “When the public pays its money at the box office, it expects to be entertained and not to be preached to, or propagandized at.” The Rogers Productions already has acquired two story properties. One is a modern comedy, “Ain't It the Truth?” by a young actor- writer, Douglas Morrow. The other is “The Great Anmswer,” to be dramatized from the book by Mar- garet Lee Runbeck. “Heartbeat,” which has just gone before the cameras, is being froduced independently by New World Pictures, controlled by the Hakim Brothers. Holding an in- terest are Ginger and San: Wood, who directed Ginger in “Kitty Foyle,” which brought her the Academy “Oscar.” “Heartbeat” is a Hollywood version of a French film madr. neverul yeara ago wnh MARINE FORECAST FOR SOU hour tonight. 15 to 20 miles per hour Wednuday TAKES ANOTHER, PRODUCING OWN FILMS OWN BOSS NOW-—As pretty a film producer as you could find in a hundred Hollywoods, Ginger will make her own films—two each year. AS KITTY FOYLE — This role won for Ginger the Academy Oscar. Danielle Darrieux—la belle femme avec la tres gorgeuse chassis. It never was released in this country and the Hakims own the American rights—hence the deal, starring Ginger, who offers the same thing in plain English as Danielle_does in French. While ‘making her definite plans for the future, Ginger, one of the screen’s most in-demand celebri- ties, has starred in only one pic- ture in the past year, M-G-M's “Week-end at the Waldorf.” That was a comedy in which Ginger again showed her versa- tility—she was a movie star play- ing a movie star, and an Academy Reporis trom Marine Stations at ‘10:30 A.

Want-ads bring. und] AL Sossovososrsssssessseose award winning movie star, at that. Before that, just a little over a year ago, Ginger starred in “I'll Be Seeing You,” for David O. Selz- nick. That was drama, pure and simple, and Ginger had such con- | fidence in the role that she made it on a percentage basis. It was | a box-office smash. © More Dance Films Ginger rose to the top in a series | of dancing hits with Astaire, but the chances are—according to her present plans—that she will never make an all-dancing picture again. She may, of course, dance a bit, like she did in Paramount’s “Lady | in the Dark.” | But, she'll more likely confine herself to varied roles, like those | of “Kitty Foyle” or “The Major and the Minor,” in which she did what Hollywood ,said couldn’t be | done—played a 12-year-old girl. | She not only played it, but she | got away with it—with acclaim. Taking chances was nothing new to Gingert She took her first big one w.n she accepted a minor role with Katharine Hepburn in “Stage Door” just to show studio bosses she could do plenty besides dance. From there on out Ginger had the movie world right in her pocket. 1s she afraid of taking a new chance on becoming & producer of her own pictures ? | You can put down her creed in. these words: “Anytime an actress goes on the screen she's taking a chance. Ao long as she’s taking a chance, she might as well take a big chnncu. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, WEATHER BUREAU ® 0 0 00 0 0 0 8 0 0 0 JUNEAU, ALASKA . .
