About once every decade, Holly wood turns out a super-spectacle Meet Miss Carmen Jones MANY a splendid cadenza and many a stately wiggle have been contributed to the role of Car men by the ladies of the opera since 1874. Everlovin’ Jose has been mocked by Mme. Galli-Marie, Geral dine Farrar, Emma Calve, Mary Garden, Maria Jeritza and Gladys Swarthout. These Carmens brought a widely recognized artistry to the part, which was needed in the earli est performances when music lovers and moralists made it hot for Bizet and his Spanish-gypsy baggage. But, though beautiful, none of them re sembled the real charmer that Pros per Merimee described over ninety years ago. Dark-eyed, she was, and copper skinned, with lustrous black hair and "teeth whiter than peeled almonds.” Like Muriel Smith. Muriel is the Billy Rose Carmen. She operates out of Carolina in-, stead of old Seville. She sings in the English idiom, instead of the operatic French. But she wig-wags like her Spanish ancestor, and her lovemaking brings out the same old jealous knife. The critics warmed to Muriel’s Carmen. “Sultry,” they called her, with a “dangerous” smile and a voice as “flery” as the Bizet score. They’d need another set of adjec tives to describe the real Muriel. A sweet and lovely girl of twenty-two, her success is the flowering of her mother’s love, ambition and fore sight. Mrs. Smith has always wanted Muriel to be a singer and an ac tress, and from her meagre earn ings she gave her gifted daughter the best training she could afford, i The relationship between them i3 a LUX Barber Shoo | 2045 NORTH 24th STREET i “This is the Home of Corn Fix” /.

It stems from the fact that although Muriel was Jducated for the stage, her mother provided, as well, the normal exis tence that every youngster should have. ' Muriel has grown up with the average girl’s hobbies, collecting, photography and sewing. She col lects and writes letters to her Friends in service. Photography is the lucky hobby. It got her a job in a camera shop once, when she was helping to pay for her musical training. Sewing is the hobby her mother thinks every girl should have. “No matter what career a girl chooses,” Mrs. Smith says, “she must have some practical talents, and considering how girls love clothes, nothing is more practical for them than the ability to sew.” Muriel finds it easy to learn. She was surprised to see how quickly sewing brought paying results, too. She expects to save lots of money when she really acquires the know how, because she lived all summer in a collection of playclothes that she cut from one pretty and inex pensive pattern, using remnants of material that her skillful mother had left over from different home sewing jobs. The money will go into War Bonds, but Muriel’s mother Is profiting, too.

Such a film is “Wilson,” the screen story of President Woodrow Wilson j and the first World War, which Dar ! ry-1 Zanuck has produced in Techni I color for 20th Century-Fox. The log j book of the costliets lroduction in the history of the 20th Century-Fox’s cavalcade is an almanac of broken production records and studio “firsts” Second oly to "Gone With the Wind” in its length, “Wilson” runs two hours and forty-three minutes on the screen and in that time introduces 148 actors with speaking roles and giant mob scenes on which thousands of extras worked in a single scene. More than 13,000 players appear in the picture. Seven sound stages were filled simultaneously with care fully authenticated sets for the film which ranges, in its locale, from a football field at Princeton to rarious rooms of the White House and the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Ver" sailles. A record number of sets (88) were erected, 50 interior and 38 ex teroir, with the entire film in Techi nicolor these sets and their properties had 1o be far more detailed in their duplcation of the famous original scenes than is necessary for black and white photography. A sample of the magnitude of the production and the myriad problems that were met, was the scene depict ing tiie National Democratic Conven tion of 1912 when Woodrow Wilson was nominated for the presidency on the 46th ballot by a great auditorium full of weary delegates wilting in a Baltimore July. Thousands of extras were engaged to create the raucous, riotous atmos phere cf a horn-locked convention. Bands blared as noisily as in any more recent conclaves in Chicago. Impromptu parades spilled against each other in the aisles. Straw hats fanned coatless, sweltering shirts. And all the excitement and pent-up drama of a huge party pow-wow were duplicated. Director Henry King was assigned 50 special assist ant directors just to ride herd on that single mob scene and acted as platoon leaders for the madly skirm ishing demonstrators. As a stage for this scene, Zanuck hired the largest hall in the west, the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. It was the biggest interior set ever photographed and, with the added e lectricity required for the special i Technicolor lighting, used enough power tc serve a city of 100,000. Be cause the load on the electric circuits was so great, arrangements were made to tap the power lines of a trol ley c?r line which ran in front of this set, the traction company coop erated by running only one out of ev ery three scheduled trips on the street-car tracks. The greatest num ber cf motion picture electricians ev er assembled on a set, fiOO of them, used this added juice to light the scene. Although not as big a set, nor fill ed \vi*h as many players, the interior set representing the House of Repre sentatives in the nation’s Capitol, re quired just as careful preparation to insure historical authenticity. On this set a President of the United States is shown addressing a com bined session of the Senate and House, for the first time in a movie. It was President Wilson’s request to Congress for a Declaration of War against Germany of April 6, 1917. Perhaps the “Wilson” sets which will be remembered the longest, are the richly furnished rooms of the White House; the famous Oval room, the East Room, with its golden piano, the Lincoln Room with its nine foot bed, all meticulously copied down to the last detail by Thomas Little, head of 20th Century-Fox property department, who spent three weeks in the White House with Sketch book and tape measure. “Wilson” is a pic ture you MUST SEE!
