Lana Crosses The i
Street, It's a Jam
•When Lana Turner recently
crossed the street in downtown
Los Angles, it resulted in the best
organized traffic jam in the Ins
tory of this car-c^nges led city
Turnr stopped traffic—literally!
The project entailed the ser
vices of an M-G-M studio contin
gent, plus the City Planning Com
mission, twenty husky policemen,
H5 workers and a preparatory
campaign of several weeks, with
New York City an innocent by
stander in the deal. That city is
the locale of “A Life of Her Own,”
the picture which brings Lana
Turner back to the screen after
a two-year absence, and whose
opening scenes show her crossing
a busy mid town intersection.
Some' weeks before the scene
was to be photographed, unit
manager William Kaplan laid the
ground work. First he contacted
the City Planning Commission for
a permit to block off a city block
in the center of Los Angeles an
area which took in the famed Bill
more Theatre and Biltmore Motel.
Next he visited the Police Depart
ment to reserve twerjty police
men, all over six-feet. Then he
reserved fifty spaces in a nearby
parking lot for the twenty studio
vehicles which were to transport
the camera, generator, lights,
wardrobe and props needed to
dress the sot.
Four rooms at the Biltmore
Hotel were reserved to serve as
beauty parlor and dressing space
for Miss Turner and Ann Dvorak,
but# there were mgre rooms to
rent. For photographic effect Dl
rector George Cukor and Camera
man George Folsey needed sever
til rooms in the adjacent hotel lit
for the night scene- So six addi
lion a 1 rooms were rented - one on
the twelfth floor, two on the
eleventh and three on the eight.
In each the studio installed an
electrician who at given signal
flashed on the lights.
This wa sonly the beginning.
The unit manager had to hin the
cigar store across the street and
close it to the public . He also had
to arrange to feed hr troupe of
115 persons Instead of trying to
crash the dinner crowds, he ar
ranged with a nearby coffee shop
to serve 115 hot turkey dinners in
iKtif minutes.
| However, Kaplan almost, came |
i a cropper because of the much
j vaunted California weather. One
of the most importants shots was
to lie taken at dusk, but twilight
is almost unknown in the Los An
geles sector.
“With the help of the Weather
Bureau." he explains, “We charted
the light in that particular seetior
for ten days previous to our shoot
ing date Through these charts we
found that we would have dusk
between 5:15 and 5:25 on the day
we needed it. Exactly ten minutes
i to get what we wanted!”
f Finally everything was set. The
swank IliltiYiore suites were con
verted into make-up and dressing
rooms, an elevator whisked Miss
i Turner in and out ut the hotel in
j triple quick time, the corner boot
! black spoke with a Bronx accent,
j the news stand, featured New
York headlines and Even Monty
1 Woolley, starring in “The Man
Who Came To Dinner” on the
i theatre marquee, was blocked
l out b\ a planted “No Parking”
~k>n so as not to date the scene,
j The twenty cops were placed at
strategic points in the restricted
area and all was ready for Turner
I to stop traffic.
As she walked across the street,
: horns blasted, brakes shrieked,
! taxis skidded.- pedestrians stared.
' Wha1 a fuss about a pretty
girl crossing the street," com
mented a passerby, “you’d think
it Was Lana Turner!”

Clifton Webb and Jeanne ('rain in a tender scene between father
and daughter from "Cheaper By The Dozen." the true to life story of
a wonderful American family aciapted from the best-seller written
by Frank B. Gilbreth, Jr., and Ernestine Gilhreth Carey. Myrna l.oy
also stars in this picture, w hich was brought to the screen in Techni-1

Webb Wonderful
In 'Family' Film
Clifton Webb has taken a rest
from Belvedere roles, lint not
from making wonderful movies
The hero of "Sitting Pretty" and
• "Mr. Belvedere Goes To College"
scores his greatest hit in “Cheap
or By The Dozen,” the Twentieth
Century Fox Technicolor film
which opens at the Marco Thoa
tro Tuesday.
It was, of course, to he expected.
Along with Jeanne Crain and
Mvrna Boy, Webb romps through
one of the most delightful stories
of our time, the true story of a
family of twelve children based
on the recent best-seller by Frank
' B Gilbroth, Jr. and Ernestine
Gilbreth Carey.
Eagerly awaited by the mil
lions who had read the book or
heard ol its fame, "Cheaper By
The Dozen" proved worth wait
mg for. The uproarious tale of
the shenanigans that go on in this
over-sized family, it is also a mov
in,; and compelling story of how a
lovable family meets life’s prob
j lems Though rarely have we
j laughed so much or so loudly,
there were tears mixed with our
! laughter, and when we left the
; theatre, we knew that what we
had seen was a wonderful piece J
of Americana brought to the
screen.
Webb is superb as “Dad,” the
eccentric time and motion ex
pert who refuses a request for
i a dog, ''because any pet which j
doesn't lay egg.. is an extrava
ponce,” and buys a vietrola for
i the bathroom so the children may

Mr. Belvedere 11 is is an outstand

an outstanding heart wanning
one, too.
Returning to comedy, for
which we knew her best with
her fine portrayals in "Margie"
and "Apartment for I’eppy,”

those opinions deal with the suh

roinpetoteni e as one of Holly
wood’s finest younger aetresses
Myrna Hoy gives a beautifully
sensitive performance as “Moth
er," a wise and understanding j
woman who has her hands full
with twelve energetic children
and a bombastic, eccentric bus 1
band.
Supporting roles are handled
skillfully by Hetty l.ynn, Edgar'
Buchanan, Barbara *Bates, Mil

Expertly directed by Walter
.Bang, “Cheaper By The Dozen"
was produced by Lamar* Trotti,
who also wrote the screenplay

I director Nicholas Kav in a de
i
liberate and laudable effort to

"movie kisses phooey" to
movie kisses ah'"
As a result, Hollywood believes,
the love scenes in "In a Lon Icy
Place," at the Watts Theatre, pro
bably are the most incendiary
since "Casablanca." A Santana
Production for Columbia Pictures,
the new film is the relentless story
of a man of violence, and of the
Kiri who tried to change him. The
theme alone was sufficient to su
I per charge the romantic passages
of the picture, but then is even
I more to it than that Bogart stars
las a Hollywood write! whose
! savage furies help to make him a
suspect in a murder case; Miss
ICrahame appeals as the part
time actress who is at first his
principal alibi and then the only
woman in his life.
As stated, "movie kisses ah!" j
was the major concern of Miss
|Grahame and of director Rav.
and iheir efforts naturaiiy at
1 feeted Bogart After all, he had
to co-operate in the kissing! And
“movie kisssos -ah!" has been the
response of “In a I.onelv Place"
audiences wherever the picture
has been screened
Mr. Bogart, though ' a tough
man to convince
lie still says "phoney!" Every
time he kissed Miss Grahame, di
rector Nicholas Rav had his own
face a foot or so away from thi
ardent pair, cheeking on then
performance But, even worse,
Bogart complained: ' About tin
