Sky Noises Halt Picture, But It’s a Pleasure Planes, Once a Nuisance, Now Give Studios a Safer Feeling and A Willingness to Just Wait By HAROLD HEFFIRNAN. HOLLYWOOD. It seems only days ago that movie troupes on location were getting all wrought up about noises In the sky. If errant planes sputtered over sacred shooting areas for more than a couple of minutes directors would angrily dash to the phone and get local authorities after the sky joyriders. Since December 7 there’s been a change. The United States Govern ment controls the skies these days. And Uncle Sam Isn't at all impressed by a movie outnt at work. Bomber1 and patrol planes come over in great droves. The movie boys don’t argue about spoiled film any more. They don’t even send up those red warn ing balloons. What's the use? Location trips are now a hazardous noise risk and that's one big reason why they’re to be abandoned in almost all future scripts. Another, of course, is rubber. * * * * We got in on one of the last of these suburban Jaunts the other day —for Paramount’s “My Favorite Blonde,” featuring Bob Hope and Madeleine CarroU.

While trying to escape spies In one sequence Bob and Madeleine become involved In a truck drivers’ picnic* steal one of the buses used for trans porting the picnickers and make a dash for an airport where they also steal a getaway plane. They are chased to the point of take-off by five other buses. The camera was lined up to catch the arrival of the ponderous chariots. Bob, in the driver’s seat of the first, was to slam on the brakes, thereby causing a compound plle-up behind him. Then he and Madeline were to alight, take a quick look back at the damage and make for the plane. At this point it was discovered that a comedy line, not provided by the original script, was needed to punctuate the pause after alighting. Hope. Director Sidney Lanfleld and Hope's ever-present gag man, Barney Dean, went into a huddle. They strained and they strained. The average citizen has no concep tion of the intensity of the pangs which accompany the birth of a comedy line. Finally they got it. Joy reigned unconflned. They kept repeating it and chuckling over it among them selves. They couldn’t wait to record the gem In film. * * * * And right there Uncle Sam stepped in. Some fifty giant bombers, going some place in a great hurry, and flying low, swept directly over the setting. They were In single file and well spaced out. The company cooled their collective heels. But there wasn't the slightest sign of impatience now. The players stood there waving wildly at the proces sion. After a few minutes there was an interval of clear, soundless skies. They rushed to take advantage of the lull. Hope was behind the wheel of the leading bus. The camera was about to roll. Then from the south came an Insistent, low whistle.

They started to shoot the scene. The crash took place exactly as planned. So did the exit of Bob and Madeleine from the bus. Hope looked back and went into the line thev h-d all sweated over: “Well, anyway, that was better than using their brakes ... I've for gotten the dam line!” It was a pretty gag, too. Hope should have added: “. . . It saved rubber.” All to do over again "Snap Into it,” yells Director Lan fleld. But from the sky comes a familiar rumble. More planes. And from the south the shrill shriek of a locomo tive whistle. Another slow train. And that's the way movies are made on location today. Discour aging. eh? Costly, too.
