WHO'S ·ON FIRST?
IN THE NAVY (1941) is in
many ways equal to BUCK
PRIVATES and is easily one of
the team's finest efforts. The
supporting cast is ex­
ceptionally good, with Dick
Powell giving a competent
performance as Russ Raymond,
"America's Singing Heart­
throb," who after tiring of the
glamour of show biz, decides to
enlist in the Navy. Also seen in
Claire Dodd (certa'inly one of the
prettiest and talented female
lea ds in an A&C film), Dick
Foran, and Shemp Howard
(la ter to become one of the
"Three Stooges" at Columbia),
and, of course, the Andrews
Sister9 Abbott and Costello are
merely additions to the plot, but
pull off some of their best
routines. Both of the boys really
Again featuring the Andrews
Sisters, the musical numbers
are tuneful and extremely well
done. Of the five songs in the
picture, three of them are ex­
ceptional, those being "Give Me
Some Skin," "Hula-ba-Io()-la,"
and " We're in the Navy." The
latter being a rousing bit of
patriotism set to music that
served as the film's final (which,
incidentally, was set on what
had to be the most gigantic-and
downright fantastic--battJeship
of all time!) .
KEEP 'EM FLYING, their
fourth picture in 10 months, had
thE:: daffy duo involved in another
romantic triangle. This time

routines were still top-notch, one
of the funniest centering ar ound
Bud and Lou ordering a turkey
sandwich from identical twins
(Martha Raye).
Their follOWing film, RIDE
'EM COWBOY, had everything
going for it, but it just wasn't as
funny as it could have been.
Indeed, the first half had very
few "funny" segments. Con­
cerning a pseud()-western hero
(Dick F oran, Fagain) trying to
save the dude ranch of a cowgirl
with whom he is in love, the
entire film has an easy-going air
,abou t it. To the viewer , it ap­
pears that the entire cast had a
great time in filming it. This
condition is most prevalent when
Lou clowns around the pool at
the ranch. The film, however, DickForanJLnon",,-~_~ .....:o..•"'~ __ ..LL_ . .~......... -.- .~.~

and, of course, the Andrews
Sisters. Abbott and Costello are
merely additions to the plot, but
pull off some of their best
rou tines. Both of the boys really
shine in a va ria tion of the old
shell game, with Bud taking Lou
and Shemp to the cleaners, while
never eeasing to talk (and con)

they complicate matters to no

fou r th picture in 10 months, had
thE:: daffy duo involved in another
romantic triangle. This time
ar~und it was barnstorming
stunt flyer Dick Foran com­
peting with William Gargan for
.the hand of Carol Bruce, with a
civilIan pilot training school as
a background. Guesting in the
film was Martha Raye, playing a
dua l-rol e. Aga in, the cr itics
found the results highly en­
joyable . Bows ley Crowther,
famed critic of the New York
Times, summed it: " Chalk up
another mad antic for these
haru m-scarum clowns." The
ove, the
entire film has a n easy-going air
about it. To the viewer , it ap­
pears that the entire cast had a
great ~me in filming it. This
condition is most prevalent when
Lou clowns around the pool a t
the ranch. The film, however,
fell slightly short of their firs t
fou r efforts. The aforementioned
chase s cene, a painfully
hilarious dream sequence, and a
wagon ra ce finale comprise the
film's stronger moments. Also,
western star, J ohnny Ma ck
Brown wa s prominently
featured in a large supporting
role.
Dick Foran is none too sure about Bud and Lou being his ground crew
in this scene from KEEP ' EM FLYING (Universal - 1941).
During their careers, Abbott
and . Costello had a running
repertoire of over two thousand
that they performed Often a
script-writer would lea ve
openings in the script, which
Bud and Lou would use to insert
one of their routines a nd adapt it
to the situation at hand. They
were so familiar with their
material that the scenes were
often shot without any rehearsal
a t all. Another example of one of
their bit follows:
Costello:. "Hey Abbott, look at
that bunch of cows."
Abbott: "Not bunch--herd
Costello: "Heard of what?"
Abbotto: " Herd of cows."
Costello: "Certainly, I've heard
of cows."
Abbott: " I meant a cow herd."
Costello: " What do I care if a
cow heard. I didn' t say nothing
I was ashamed of."
Abbott and Costello returned
to Universal with P ARDON MY
SARONG. In the film, Bud and
Lou, two Chicago bus drivers,
a re commandeered by a
wealthy playboy (Robert Paige)
to ferry him and his bevy of girl
friends cross-country, so he ca n
participa te in a yacht race. One
thing leads to another and Bud,
Lou, Robert Paige a nd Virginia
Bruce wind up on a tropical
is land where Lionel Atwill and
J ack Larue have been bilking
the local popula nce.

overlong rou tine and chase with
detective William Demarest).
but this was more than com­
pensated for by exceptional
routines like the "Baseball
Story," a nd Bud and Lou
dividing a meal that consists of
two peas. Thrown in for good
measure were the Four Ink
Spots.
Their last effort of 1942, and
their eighth film in two years
was WHO DONE IT. In it Bud
and Lou are two soda jerks who
try to solve a murder tha t occurs
on the " Murder at Midnight"
absence of any musical in­
terludes.

Following the completion of
mT mE ICE. Lou was felled by
rheumatic fever, and was
confined to a wheelchair. It was
the first of a ser ies of major
illnesses and tragedies that were
to affect the cherub.
Mter overcoming the illness,
Lou and Bud began plans to
revive their weekly radio show.
It was during the rehearsal for
the first show that Lou received
word that his infant son, Lou,
Jr., had accidentally drowned in
the family pool. Grief stricken,
Lou went on the air, despite the
offers from other stars, in­
c,luding Mickey Rooney, to sub
. for him. It was only after Bud
scene featurea in the finale of
most Abbott and Costello films
was hampered by the use of
footage , albeit good footage,
from Universal's earlier W.C.
Fields' starrer, NEVER GIVE A
SUCKER AN EVEN BREAK.
Back a t MGM on loan-out, Bud
and Lou had something of a
misfire in LOST IN A HAREM.
Utilizing leftover sets from
KISMET, the duo had very little
to do, but did manage to revive
the " Poco-Loco" routine. For
support, MGM threw in John
Conte, Marilvn Maxwell, and
Jimmy uorsev. This didn' t help,
f5>l as the New, York HeI:aJd- ,
Tribune put it: "The team of
It wasn't until their next film,
NAUGHTY NINETIES , that
their famous "Who's on First"
routine made it to the screen in
it's entirety-a portion of it being
used in their earlier WHO DONE
IT. The routine, truly a classic
example of vaudeville humor,
was synonymous with the team,
and they received as much as
$15,000 for a single perfonnance
of it at the height of their career.
It is now inscribed as a per­
manent part"of the Baseball Hall
of F ame.
Mter doing their third and
final film for MGM, in
HollywQOd. Bud and Lou made
LITTLE -, GIANT back at
roles. LITTLE GIANT had Lou
as a country bumpkin who
hopes to make his fortune in the
world by .selling vacuum
cleaners. Of course, he is taken
advantage of not only by his co­
workers, but by his employer (s)
as well -- played by Abbott in a
dual role. He eventually realizes '
that he, because of hls own
naivete, is the butt of ;okes by
his fellow salesmen, but,
never theless, overcomes all
obstacles and attains success.
..
Lou always had a penchant for
this type of pathos -- as wit­
nessed by the scene in the earlier.
HERE COME THE COEDS
where Lou walks silently acrosS
the basketball court after a
game he, by the most impossible
quirk of fate, has' just lost -- and
always tried to weave a sym­
pathetie threat -- ala Langdon-­
into his characterizations. He
succeeded beautifully in LIT­

probably the finest acting job of
his career.

great deal of its enjoyment from
the simplicity of Fernett's
writing style. Rather than being
burdened with the usual film
rhetoric tha t creeps into most
filmbooks, Fernett's POVERTY
ROW comes across as one film
buff talking to another. This is
probably motivated by Fernett's
sincere love and dedication to
the genre.
POVERTY ROW provides an
excellent primer for anyone
seriously interested in the "B"
films and their makers. Though
some facts have been presented
earlier in the book, THE B

excellent piece of Hollywood
history that at last has been
recorded. Undoubtably, it will be
used time and time again as a
reference piece.
This editor found particular
enjoyment to both the space and
photographs allotted to Republic
Pictures and the miniature work
of Howan:! and Theodore
Lydecker. It is my only hop,£! that
som eday Fernett (or
someone with Fernett's zeal for
the subject matter), will write
the definitive history of
Republic, replete with
filmography of all features,
serials, shorts, running times,
etc.
POVERTY ROW, like all
filmbooks, is not free from
errors, but they're insignificant
when compared to the wealth of
information that has been
gathered in this volume. I highly
endorse POVERTY ROW, and
consider it a must for every film

ACTORS' TELEVISION
CREDITS 1956-72 by James

Published by the Scarecrow

~
With the growing, interest in
old television programs among
film collectors, ACTORS'
TELEVISION CREDITS l.950-72,
should provide the fi rst
reference source as to "who did
what and when. "
It purposes to present
" ...detailed credits on a spec­
trum of television players,
focusing on those performers
who have contributed most
uniquely to the industry."
Such a mammoth undertaking
(879 pages in the first edition)
cannot be without omissions and
there are many -- which come to
mind. But, more importantly,
Mr. Parish has taken con-'
,siderable time to compile the
most complete listing to date of
the credits amassed by actors
and actresses on television.
Collectors of old television
programs find this book most
useful as an aid in their pur­
chases of old programs. One can
only hope that Mr. Parish will
furnish a cross reference of the
programs or series in a future
volume, thus making it possible
to pinpoint any partidular
episode or actor.

WAY DOWN EAST
Year 1920. 320 0 ft . lillian Gish, Richard Barthelmess, Lowell
· Sherman, Produced and Directed by D. W . Griffith. One of
. Griffith's f inest films is a real tea r-jerker. A poor and honest
coon try girl is tricked into a fake marriage. When she an­
nounces that they are to have a baby, he deserts her. Her
reputation ruined, she finally finds refuge at a home of a
farm coup le. He r . " husband" reappears and ul timate ly her
secret is revealed. She is d riven out into the snow, collapS ing
on the frozen river and being trapped on an ice floe as the
' C. ice breaks and rushes towards the falls. The river sequence
.' is most e:>eciting and beautifu ll y photographed . "Way Down
"East" is a film not for a yea r, but fo r a ll time.

METROPOLIS
Year 1926. 3 100 Ft. Starring Gustav Frohlich, Brigitte He lm
and a cast of thousands. Di rected by FRITZ LANG. This
screen fantasy is most interesting from sta rt to finish with
Skyscrape rs a mile . h ig h and ai rp lanes weav ing between them;
odd and tremendous underground mach inery flashing electric
arcs; humans reduced to automatons and going around in
· mili tary formatiOn; supermen with t he con t rol of a stupendous
. ci.ty at their fingertips; the possible eff ic iency of a thousand
years hence, are some of the things shown with ext raord inary
. picto rial effect. Mast erly Di rect ion, Bri ll ian t Stud io work and
arch itectural construction of the city of the futu re were out­
standing for their t ime. A Classic film of 1926.
THE EAGLE
Year 1925. 2600 Ft. RUdolph Valentino, Vilma Banky,
Louise Dresser. Rudolph Valen tino remained t he symbol of
Glamor and Romance on the Si lent Screen, just as Chaplin
represented laughter and Fairbanks represented adventure.
Va lentino died August 2 3, 1926 and the react ion was stag­
.g e ring g rief, hysteria and an unbounded sorrow that movie
geers shared the world over. In his next-to-Iast ro le Valentino
· played " Dubrovsky" in "The Eagle."

Year 192 0. 2800 ft . Douglas Fairbanks Sr . Margue ri te De

moving melodrama, live ly comedy, unlimited suspe nse and

THE CAT AN D THE CANARY
Year 19 27. 2600 Ft. This Horror Classic is sti ll the proto­
type of all 'old house' mysteries, with all of the well-loved
ingredients--a will-readi.,g at midnight, d isappearing corpses,
secre t panels, clutching hands and a mys teriOUS hooded mon­
ster! Laura La Plante is the blonde lady in distress, and an
impressive array of suspects includes Creighton Hale, Tu lly
Marshall, Martha Mattox, George Siegmann, .Lucien little ­
fie ld, Forrest Stanley, Arthu r Edmund Carewe, while Flora
Finch and Gertrude Astor take care of the (limi ted) comedy
elements. With its b izaare camera ang les and fan tastic sets,
th is is still one of the most effective of all the great movie
spine-ch illers.

Year 192 3 . 3 300 Ft . Starring Lon Chaney, Pa tsy Ruth Mi ller,
Ernest Torrence, No rman Kerry, Raymond Hatton, and Tull y
Marshall. The M ill ion and a hal f dollar Product ion wh ich made
Lon Chaney a top ranking star. Chaney's performance as the

THE GOLD RUSH
Yea r 192 5. 2700 Ft. Cha rl ie Chaplin, Mack Swain. Chaplin
has said th is was his favorite film and to many people it was
h is best . The film has many a scene over wh ich Chaplin fan s
st ill chuckle, such as the scene when Chaplin, without food,
treats his shoe laces as spaghetti and the sale as meat, eats
his shoes. The dance of the Oceana rolls, and t he party with
" favors" to wh ich nobody came . (One of the 10 best

But that comes later. That is

In a town where beauty was
commonplace, eyebrows lifted
at the sensational sight of Veda
Ann Borg. She was in Hollywood
only three days when they
handed her a script. She played
the second lead opposite John
Halliday in THREE CHEERS
FOR LOVE. At the end of six
months Warner Bros. signed her
to a term contract. They started
her off with second leads in SAN
QUENTIN, SHE LOVED A
FIREMAN, MEN IN EXILE
and many others. They began to
groom her for the build-up they
later gave Ann Sheridan. The
biggie executives had con­

She was told what to do and what
not todo about her social life. No

Nothing could stop me. I bought
clothes and more ·clothes. I did

their first six dizzy months. I

went hysterically Hollywood. I .
bought a silver fox coat the firs t
minute I could. Why not? Lots
more where that came from. I
bought myself a beautiful
diamond wrist watch. .
My agent told me, "They're
going to give you this buildup.
You'll have interviews, they'll
want home sittings, You'll have
to entertain, you must live as a
star should live. That was fine
with me. I went out to Toluca
Lake and leased outa mansion.
I was very gay. I went out with
Eddie Norris, Wayne Morris,
Everett Crosby a nd was
reported engaged to men I never
heard of. I was walking along the
highway Jean Harlow had
wa lked before me, Joan
Crawford, Ginger Rogers, Hedy
Lamarr, all the beautifuls and
brillia nts.
My mother advised me to take
Singing lessons, dancing lessons,
advised me to better myself. Did
I? I did not. I thought I didn' t
need any bettering. I was just
five days in production on "One
More Tomorr ow" when the
accident happened. Someone on
the set, I remember, made some
crack about the title being
sure of a tomorrow. I tossed it
off. Nonsense, I have millions of
On the night of the accident, I
went to the fights with Dick
Purcell. We had dinner at the
Brown Derby first. George Raft
was there. He called over to me

"Gee, you look marvelous" . I

realization of how divine it is to
be young and to be considered
beautiful.
After the fights, we stopped at
a couple of places and danced
and wound up for coffee at
Travaligni's. Then we
started home. I was dead tired.
We were driving along
Cahuenga Pass, about forty
miles an hour and just before
you come to a drive-in called
"The Berriess" there is a little­
red s toplight. We didn't stop.
Not because we didn't see it, but
·because there seemed to be no
other traffic and almost no one •
ever stopped for it, anyway.
Then we saw one other car
coming down the other side of
the road. Going toward
Hollywood. I remember noticing
the white line in the roa d be­
tw een us . Then--S omething
happened. What, we will never
know. Not even at the inquest
was the cause of the accident
de termined .. It must have been ·
that. one of us skidded. The \
smash happened right in fr ont of
The BelTies. It is a pretty long
place, but when we came to a
stop at last, we were ISO yards •
beyond it, headed toward town,
having turned over and around

REGIS-TRY PAG E 18
1 DIDN'1"' HAVE A FACE
I was catapulted through the
windshield which was not
shatterproof glass. I snapped
back out of that mess of broken
glass and into the car again, with
terrific force. Then my face
smashed agaipst the dashboard,
then snapped back again and
smashed against the handle of
the door. I was knocked out.
Unconscious. When I came to, it
was all very vague. I didn't know
where I was. I didn't know what
had happened. I heard voices all
'around me, "She is almost
dead," " Look at all the blood,"
"If an ambulance doesn't get
here soon, it will be too late."
Someone handed me a towel. I
realized I was alone in what was
left of the car. I felt a lot of holes
in my fa ce. Then I pass ed out
again. I didn' t know how badly
Dick was hurt or the driver of
the other car.
They took me to the receiving
hospital. I still didn't know how
badly my face was injured. They
kept mopping my face. I fina lly
asked the nurse for a mirror but
no one answered me. A few
minutes later I screamed for a
mfrror. The nur-se handed me a
mirror and walked out. They all
left me, the two doctors, too.
They left me alone in there,
without a face. I looked and I
saw what was almost ham­
burger, ground round. I'm sorry
to give such a gruesome
description, but it's the orily one
that fits. And to understand the
miracle that is to come, it is
necessary to understand how
bad it was. It was raw flesh. My
nose was gone. My right eye was
,, ~ . ~ • • .!
(CON T1N UE D)
so badly cut it looked gone too.
Simply,. there was no face there
at all.
By the time my mother and
fa ther got there, they had sewn
up my face. They took sixty­
eight stitches. It was not possible'
to give me an a nesthetic for they
don't know wha t condition the
heart may be in. The studio had
sent instructions for me to be
taken to the Cedars of Lebanon
Hospital. That same night I was
transferred to the Queen of The
Angels Hospital where my own
doctor opera tes. I was not to
leave that hospital for 32 weeks.
I went to the operating room at
10 :30 the next morning and was
there until 4:30 that afterhoon.
My nose had to be broken and
reset, I lost my fea r of dying
during those .five hours. It was
during those five hours that I
found a faith to live by. A faith
that I knew I would be alright.
They took her back to her
room after five hours of such
torture as few human beings live
to tell. For the next two months
she was more in a coma than out
of it. She had r ound the clock
supervision to make sure she did
not bump her face while
sleeping. Then came the day to
remove the bandages. This time
she was scared to look in the
mirror. Finally, she did. She
almost fainted and all her faith
seemed to drain from her body.
Her nose was crooked. The scars
were hideous, her right eye was
pulled down and she felt her life
was over. Suddenly a famous
doctor came to mind and she
asked the nurse to send for Dr.
, I '
Ginsburg. He was out of town
and would not be back for six
weeks. Those were the longest
six weeks of my life. Finally he
came. He looked me over and
said the most beautiful words I
will ever hear. "Dot's all right. I
fe x it." Afte r ten more
operations which included
building me a new nose I was
again handed a mirror. And:
behold, The Miracle! A miracle
of science, a miracle of surgery
and a miracle of faith. This time
there was a beautiful face with
only a few small scars that
.would heal in time a nd a brand
new nose. And so, after 32 weeks
Veda Ann went home.
Then she' realized she didn' t'
have a job. Her face was a bit
difforent now and producers

were afraid to take a chance on
her. Warner Bros. had built Ann
Sheridan into a star while Veda
was gone. She didn' t know what
to do. She applied for a job in a
dress shop. The day she was to
report for work she got a call
from her agent. He told her to
dress up sharp as a tack and
meet him at MGM. When she got
there they were testing girls for
the part of Edward Arnold's
gun moll sweetheart in
."THE PE NALTY. " She
put her heart and soul
into the test and the next.
day she learned she got the part.
When the picture was released
her reviews were great. Veda
considers this her best part even
though she had several parts
before this. But her makeup was
wrong and she didn't photograph
well. Her role in "The Penalty"
was the stepping stone that
made producers sit up and take
·notice. So now Veda Ann Borg is
picking up' where she left ' off '
when tha t terrible accident

almost took her life.
"I am once again walking that

different pace now." I am not
cocky anymore. I just want to
work now. I want time to savor
this miracle that has happened
to me. I wa nt time to thank the
