 KING  SOLOMON'S  MINES
 
 
 
I SEE A DARK STRANGER
 
PHOTOPLAYER
April 24th,1948
( Linda Darnell Cover )
 
Too tall to Dance . . .
SO SHE BECAME AN ACTRESS
 
 

 
ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM
 
Released: 1946
Production: Louis D. Lighton for Twentieth Century-Fox
Direction: John Cromwell
Screenplay: Talbot Jennings and Sally Benson; based on the
biography of the same name by Margaret Landon
Cinematography: Arthur Miller (AA)
Interior decoration: Thomas Little and Frank E. Hughes (AA)
Music: Bernard Herrmann
Running time: 128 minutes
 
Principal characters:
Anna Owens  . . . . . . . . . . . . Irene Dunne
King Mongkut of Siam . . . . Rex Harrison
Tuptim . . . . . . . . . . . Linda Darnell
Kralahome . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Lee J. Cobb
Lady Thiang . . . . . . . . Gale Sondergaard
Louis . . . . . . . . . . . . . Richard Lyon
Prince (young) . . . . . . . . . . . Mickey Roth
Prince (older) . . . . . . . . . . Tito Renaldo
 

Linda Darnell is a lovely and tragic Tuptim. Ironically, accidental death by fire was to be a fate she herself was to know some twenty years later. Lee J. Cobb as Prime Minister Kralahome is memorable; and one of the strongest yet most sensitive performances in the picture is contributed by Gale Sondergaard as the eldest wife, Lady Thiang, mother of the young prince.

"I was terrified. From the first curtain to the last, I was terrified."
June Allyson had reason to be frightened last night. For the first time in 27 years the movie star was back on a Broadway stage before a live audience.
Moreover, she was replacing one of the theater's favorite stars, Julie Harris, in the lead of the comedy hit, "Forty Carats."
Until 7 P.M. yesterday, an hour and a half before curtain time, she was still rehearsing. And there was considerable nervousness all around.
Miss Allyson is a bit plumper than she was during the forties and fifties, when her portrayals of the girl-next-door type made her one of the major attractions at movie houses.
She chuckled about the problem of learning to swear for this show:
"In all my years in movies I never had to swear."
She turned on the wide smile and candid blue eyes that made her the natural heroine for Van Johnson.

Betty Grable, who left here 27 years ago to become Hollywood's leading pin-up girl in World War II, returned to Broadway Monday night as the match-maker Dolly Levi in David Merrick's mother lode, otherwise known as "Hello, Dolly!"
It was an extraordinary performance by any standard - noisy, hysterical, charged with emotion, a performance that was rooted in the effulgent memories of "Down Argentina Way" and "Moon Over Miami." Behind it, one suspects, there was a lament for youth forever lost.
At 50, Miss Grable looks great. The dimples in the Petty Girl face are intact. The outlines of the Petty Girl figure have filled in a bit, but those appendages that Dad used to call gams are still magnificent, from the occasional glimpses we get beneath the turn-of-the-century gowns.
"Hello, Dolly!", which has been pushed and pulled to fit the shapes and talents of all sorts of leading ladies, is in competent hands.
Miss Grable has appeared on Broadway only once before (in the 1939 "Du Barry Was a Lady"), there was hardly a dry eye in the house as the audience, according to the lyrics, welcomed her back to where she belonged.
It was fake but it was fun.

DREAM WIFE (M-G-M) 1953
After making this dreary comody, Grant retired from film-making. Here he played an American businessman who became interested in an Wastern princess, Betta St. John, who believed in satisfying the every whim of her man, but found there was more to be said for the American career girl, Deborah Kerr, who is chaperoning the princess on her American goodwill tour.

BALLERINA SUES 20th
FOR 'KING & I' SLIGHT
 
Ballerina Gemze De Lappe filed suit in New York Supreme Court last week against 20th-Fox, Darryl F. Zanuck, Charles Brackett, and the Roxy Theatre charging that she did not receive proper credit in "The King and I."
Through her attorney, Barry S. Cohen, the dancer alleges that the producers "negligently, willfully and maliciously" refrained from giving her "the proper and appropriate credit due her by virtue of her having created and performed the role of King Simon of Legree" in "The King and I." Instead Miss De Lappe claims, they credited the role to a dancer who did not perform it. In the picture, the ballerina recreated the role she originated in the Broadway production.

Deborah Kerr
BY
Robert Mitchum
 
In September of 1956, I arrived in Tobago, an island in the Southern Caribbean, to begin filming Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison, directed by John Huston. Upon meeting Miss Kerr, I was impressed by her chaste and genteel demeanor, an attitude eminently suited to the saintly character she portrayed. made touchingly mortal by a few freckles.
The ensuing period of our association revealed many more delightful aspects of this splendid lady, and began the rapid development of an admiration and friendship for her that I shall treasure always.
She is warmly human and sympathetic, and possessed of a humor that ranged from the subtle to the downright wicked.
When some Hollywood organization, charged with monitoring morality, became belatedly alarmed at the perils of pairing a nun and a marine on a desert island and sent a representative to check on our image of propriety, Mr. Huston planned a little surprise.
We contrived a scene wherein Sister Angela overcomes the suppression of her base animal urges and, panting and clutching, throws herself on Mr. Allison in a lustful frenzy. With no film in the camera, we "shot" the scene for our guest, who stood agape and immobilized in shock as John quietly said, "Cut."
Huston then turned to the stunned Mr. Grizzard and said, "You should have seen it before we cleaned it up."
There was a small Catholic church on the island and the Sisters attached to it were invited to see the rushes when they were shown. Deborah, always mindful of their presence, strived to maintain an on-camera deportment that would earn their approval. However, in one scene, in which she was paddling the rubber raft, her composure cracked.
Using a palm frond as a paddle, she was stroking away furiously, with Mr. Huston's voice from the camera boat urging her on to even greater effort. "Even harder, honey," he was saying, "Paddle even harder." With one desperate surge of energy, the paddle snapped in two. Holding up her bloodied hands, she looked straight into the camera and said, "That'll show you how effing hard I'm paddling, John!"

To Your Health!
 
Never Underestimate
Your Need for Water
 
The Forgotten Nutrient
 
Water is so abundant, available and inexpensive yet it's often taken for granted. It is the forgotten nutrient although it ranks in importance right up there along with vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrate and fat. Just by living, breathing, perspiring and going to the bathroom you can lose between two and three quarts of water daily, which need to be repaced. Each day drink six to eight glasses of fluids like tap or bottled water, milk and juice.
Also eat foods with a high water content, such as fruits and vegetables. Fluid intake is especially important for older adults - you better listen to me. If you lose too much water without replacing it, you can become dehydrated.
You might faint or feel dizzy.
 
Here are some ways water works in your body:
 
* Carries nutrients to cells and carries waste products away. Water is the body's transportation system.
 
* Surrounds and protects joint and organs such as kidneys from shock or injury.
 
* Keeps the digestive tract working and the urine clear.
 
* Helps maintain body temperature.
 
 
Drink Before
You're Thirsty!
