And William Wellman, director at Warner Bros., wrung his hands, pulled his hair and the other things a director does when he reg isters strong emotion. “We’re going to play in this pic ture under our own names,” assert ed one of the team, “and we don't want to face the camera ‘dolled-up’ in paint and powder.” And his buddies reiterated the viewpoint. Wellman, who struggled through one production in which the players didn’t use make up, agreed finally that if they played football a shiny nose or two wouldn’t matter greatly. "I directed ‘Wings’ without make up on the players and I guess we can make this picture the same way,” Wellman said. Which probably means that James Hall and other regular-actor players in the cast will have to forego the use of make up to pre vent contrast. The team which has been gathered includes star players from ten colleges. The show is “It Must Be Love.” Os course it’s a college picture, and the players, mostly col lege boys. The powderless brigade includes Paul Scull of Pennsylvania; Wil liam Banker of Tulane; Howard Harpster, Carnegie Tech.; W. K. Schoonover, Arkansas; Kenneth THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Haycroft, and George Gibson, Min nesota; E. N. Sleight, Purdue; Ray Montgomery, Pittsburgh; Otto °om merening, Michigan; Tim Moyni han, Notre Dame, and Russ Saun ders, Southern California.
