ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES
Dialogue Had
Star Stumped
Some particularly tricky dia
logue proved too much for James
Stewart in a scene of “It’s a Won
derful World,” now playing at the
Palace Theatre. After several
takes, with the dialogue throw
ing him each time, someone sug
gested the words be written so
that Jimmy could see them.
“I’m certainly disappointed in
you, Jimmy,” said Director Van
Dyke, shaking his head. “Os all
the scenes I’ve directed with
Johnny Weissmuller, he never
once forgot a line.”
This bothered Stewart to the
extent that he sent over to the
script department for dialogue of
the Van Dyke-directed Weissmul
ler scenes. He read them through,
cover to cover. The only line
Johnny ever had to say was
“ugh”.
