Margaret O’Brien Is Revealed
As Also a Gifted Dancer
By Jay Carmody
It is no news to moviegoers that Margaret O’Brien is as precocious
as a pixie. So far, however, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has brought he? along
slowly enough that the public has had no occasion to whisper that the
child must be a witch. It has unveiled her talents one at a time, comedy
today, drama tomorrow, etc. Now it discloses that Margaret is a ballet
dancer, a revelation that gives dramatic interest to “The Unfinished
T"W» n/iA1' liar rnmaniVtava ■ ■ >■ — — ■ ' ' ■
the merits of the script.
If her employers can restrain her
from playing Lady Macbeth until
she is at least 14, everything should
work out just fine.
* * * *
“The Unfinished Dancp,” Capitol
theater’s new screen feature, nat
urally is not a solo effort for Mar
garet. It has a generous cast of
other and talented performers, all of
whdfn fairly glow in the musical's
Technicolor. For the most part,
however, the costly project rests
upon the frail shoulders of small
Miss O'Brien. She never lets it
down, just as the studio was confi
dent she would not.
The Capitol’s screenplay, another
of those Joseph Pasternak-Henry
Koster productions, follows the for
mula the pair have been using since
they fell heir to Deanna Durbin’s
gifts. It is based upon a pleasantly
understanding attitude toward
gifted children, tells a simple story
in terms of high production values,
and never misses a chance to show
off the special talent of the moppet
under consideration.
In the case of “The Unfinished
Dance,’’ adapted from Paul Mor
and’s “Death of the Swan,” the ac
tion is laid backstage in a somewhat
incredible theater of the ballet. The
r overall impression it creates is that
ballet dapcers must be the busiest
people in the world, day-and-night
workers whose energy would shame
a farmer for his sloth.
For all their artistic fervor, how
ever, these people are subject to
human emotions out ■ of which the
author has fashioned a somewhat
standard back-stage story.
7 ....
Margaret’s role In this story if
. that of a ballet moppet whose in
tensities toss her into situations well
* beyond her powers of retrieval. She
is, for instance, desperately a her
oine-worshipper of Ballerina Cyc
Charisse. When guest star Karin
Booth threatens to displace the
child's pet ballerina, Margaret openf
a stage elevator which drops the
latter into a sub-basement, injures
her spine and leaves her an invalid
From there on, the action is con
cerned with the child’s effort tc
atone for her excess of loyalty
There never is any question, oi
course, that so artful a one will miss
but there is equally no denying that
Margaret’s way of working, it out is
interesting. Her older associates ir
the enterprise may let the whole
thing get a sticky look, but not the
diminutive star.
It takes an inordinate amount oi
dancing, ensemble and solo, to fill ir
the gaps in the story of "The Un
finished Dance." Inevitably, the bis
spot of this shall be “Swan Lake,’
which it is, but there are at leasi
excerpts from many another classic
scattered through the picture. Pro

fessional dance critics might well
find much at which to demur in
i these interpretative items, but the
Capitol production goes in for big
ness, beauty and color on the theory
! this is what it can do best.
Cyd Charisse, so-star of "The Un
finished Dance” is its most talented
and busiest dancer, but Margaret is
right in there at all times with her
polished arabesques, entrechats, pir
ouettes, etc. at all of which she is
quite passable.
As, usual, there are no villains in:
; this Pasternak musical. Everyone
; is pleasant, as everyone is supposed
to be at children’s parties, or in pic
tures with femaje child stars. The
most pleasant of the adults are
Danny Thomas, the Misses Charisse
and Booth, and Esther Dale.

There is a magic name on -the
Capitol’s stage bill this week, that
of George M. Cohan jr. The son,
utilizing the father’s old material,
] is an engaging sort who would be
the first to agree with you that he
does not have his sire’s talent.
Otherwise, the stage show is a com
posite of the comedy of Gary Mor
ton; the DTvons and their dancing;
• and Jack Holst and ' Milady who
show how champions can perform

Russians to Help
To Picture Grew
By the Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD.
Producer Bert Granet, just re-j
turned from shooting the first
American picture made in Berlin
since the end of the war, has no
great love for the Russians.
“I had to work like the devil to
get into the Russian sector of Ber
lin,” Granet says, “and after we did
obtain permission we were under
constant surveillance, our rooms
were entered and one of our camera
cars was shot at.”
The movie, "Berlin Express,” had
full sanction of the American Army,
subject to final Army review when
the picture is finished, but that
didn’t bear much weight in the
Russian zone.
The stars, Merle Oberon and Bob
Ryan, toured occupation camps
during their visit, and the Army in
return co-operated in every way,
Graijet says. But they were not
even invited to tour Russian camps.
Opposition to a movie company
in the Russian sector was so great,
Granet says, that the whole movie
project might have suffered without
the help of the American press.
“I was turned down five times
before I finally got approval to pho
tograph some of the old Berlin
landmarks the Russians are tearing
down and shipping home. And
i then we got the green light only
because some of my friends in the
press corps were more influential
than those in the diplomatic corps.”
Chorus Movement Traced
The community chorus movement
was launched in the United States
in 1312 when Harry Barnhart, a
singer, musician and conductor,
organized a chorus in Rochester,

Jennifer to Get

By Sheikih Graham
Jennifer Jones will get no one
but Joseph Cotten, when she stars
next year in “Tender is the night.”

Barbara Stanwyck’s “B. F.’s
Daughter” has a shooting schedule
)f only 45 days—they've lopped off
something like 20 days at an esti
mated saving of $1,000,000. That’s
;he way -to economize—not by firing
ittle people.
Hedy Lamarr is the newest Holly
wood star to get a bid for the "Con
necticut Yankee” leading lady test.
Ditto for Jan Clayton. Everything
will be decided when Bing Crosby
returns from his huntin’ and fishin’
trip. >

Errol Flynn is so completely do
mesticated that he has now bought
i. 16-millimeter camera. He spends!
all his spare time taking home
movies of his children. Wait untili
you see Errol's new costumes for'
his "Don Juan” role—he designed
some of them himself.
Bette Davis's new co-star, Jim
Davis, was so desperate before he
landed the lead in “Winter Meet
ing” that his agent was on the
Warner lot begging producers "to
please put him in anything no mat
ter how small.” Now he gets the
starring spot with Bette.
Jane Wyman’s second lady lead
in "Johnny Belinda” is Jan Ster
ling. Jan starred in "Born Yes
terday” for a Chicago company. In
"Johnny Belinda,” Jan has to be
highly dramatic—and she’s doing
terrifically well.
Robert Siodmak is really having

Jeanne Crain is a little too plump,
according to her husband, Paul
Brinkman. Jean now weights 117.
Her normal weight is 114. But from
where I can see, Jeanne looks won
derful. She’s 5 feet 5 inches tall,
but looks shorter because her lead
ing men are on the giant side. Dan
Dailey, in “The Flaming Age" with
Jeanne, is 6 feet 3 or 4 inches.
So was Glenn Langan in “Margie.”

Jack and Doris do not get married.
