‘TWO GUYS’ TAKE OVER TEXAS IN NEW FILMUSICAL

Warner Bros.’ handsome new Technicolor musical round-up, “Two Guys From Texas’, co- starring Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson in a hilarious ro- deo of rhythm and laughs, will be the next attraction at the Strand Theatre starting Friday.

Songs, howls (also the ‘wolf’ variety) and 50 gorgeous girls on horseback, presented against a lavishly tinted background of dude ranches, moonlight prairies and desert gardens, embellish this new musical entertainment.

Dorothy Malone and Penny Edwards share feminine honors opposite the two leading fun- sters. Morgan, equally at home in musical comedy or drama, plays a happy-go-lucky one- night-stand artist in this film. This is his first musical since “My Wild Irish Rose”.

Carson is teamed as his part- ner, who is also stranded in the Lone Star state, and is willing to sing for his supper at an ex- clusive dude ranch. One of their outstanding duets which is heard is “I Want To Be A Cowboy In The Movies’.

The rodeo sequence, created and directed by LeRoy Prinz, features 50 beauties on horse- back, who disport in a spectacu- lar routine. The Jule Styne-Sam- my Cahn score is rich and memorable throughout the pic- ture. “At The Rodeo” is the musical theme for this particu- lar number.

The girls appear in natty wild west garb, topped by In- dian head-dresses and _ other trick effects which lifts the ro- deo out of the usual class. Leah Rhodes and Travilla are respon- sible for the smart western cre- ations which Miss Malone and Penny wear, also the outfits adorning the equestrienne-cho- rines. David Butler directed.

Bugs Bunny In Feature

A special Bugs Bunny cartoon sequence is an added feature of Warner Bros.’ rollicking Techni- color musical, “Two Guys From Texas”, Dennis Morgan-Jack Carson starrer, due next week at the Strand Theatre.

The STORY

It’s all about the hilarious anties of a couple of dudes on a Texas ranch, Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson, a nightclub team stranded in the Lone Star state, wander into a swank dude ranch. They meet the manager, Dorothy Malone, and a beautiful guest, Penny Ed- wards, and permitted to remain, they have to sing for their supper. Complications arise in the midst of the tomfoolery and moonlight as the two entertainers vie for favors of the two luscious beauties. As the rodeo nears, a pair of thieves move in and raid the box- office. Suspicion is planted on Morgan and Carson, and Sheriff Forrest Tucker tosses them in jail. They manage to escape just in time for Carson to enter the rodeo (accidentally) and win prize money. The thieves are still operating, but are caught this time with the aid of heroes Carson and Morgan who are promptly cleared of any wrongdoing. Morgan now wins Miss Malone, Penny announces her engagement to the sheriff, Carson meets a lovely Indian girl.

MORGAN-CARSON TEAM APPEAR IN

TECHNIGOLOR FILM

Warner Bros.’ celebrated ‘two guys’, Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson, disport down in the Lone Star state in a festive Technicolor musical round-up, “Two Guys From Texas”, Strand Theatre patrons who viewed this laugh-provoking farce yesterday, rocked with laughter at the tomfoolery.

The fun is presented against a lavish dude-ranch setting, re- plete with beautiful girls, swim- ming pools, bridle paths, heav- enly vistas and yippee cow- hands.

Two lovelies, Dorothy Ma- lone and Penny. Edwards fill the feminine roles, with the lat- ter presenting some nifty foot- work while Morgan sings, “I Don’t Care If It Rains All Night”. The Technicolor tints are easy on the eye, with the vivid outdoor colorings of the southwest captured to striking effect.

Particularly arresting is the rodeo which LeRoy Prinz~has staged spectacularly. Fifty girls astride horses parade in trick formations, attired in snappy western garb and carrying fly- ing banners.

David Butler is responsible for this latest saga of the ‘two guys’, and he delivers’ the comedy with a deft hand. Car- son’s top moments are when he displays a marked fear of ani- mals, which ushers in_ the laughs. Morgan sings most of the songs, and mostly to the luscious Miss Malone.

The Jule Styne-Sammy Cahn score ripples with hits, includ- ing ‘Every Day I Love You” and “I Never Met A Texan” registering strongest. For rip- snortin’ farce, accented with girls and tunes, this sparkling Technicolor round-up wins the prize. The ‘two guys’ are again champs when it comes to laughs.

Dennis Morgan Sings

Dennis Morgan hops from straight dramatic fare to musi- cal comedy with the greatest of ease. From “To The Victor”, this popular Warner Bros.’ star is now co-starred with Jack Carson in “Two Guys From Texas”, a rip-snortin’ Techni- color musical. He sings several songs in this lively rodeo film.

MORGAN, GARSON NOW HIT TEXAS IN WARNER FILM

Hold ’er boys . . . here comes Warner Bros.’ sparkling new Technicolor musical, “Two Guys From Texas”, starring Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson!

They’re headed straight for the Strand Theatre, opening next Friday.

Dorothy Malone and Penny Edwards fill the feminine leads opposite the two comics. In ad- dition to the zany antics of the starring duo, there is plenty of musical stanzas, which features a foot-tapping Jule Styne- Sam- my Cahn score. The film winds up with a brilliant musical ro- deo which LeRoy Prinz has cre- ated and directed with skill. David Butler handled the over- all direction.

Following their initial ex- ploits in “Two Guys From Mil- waukee”, Morgan and Carson are now planted right in the middle of a swank dude-ranch in the Lone Star state. All of the dash and color of this sector is drafted into the swiftly-paced plot, with lavish musical touches inserted for that extra fillip.

One unique sequence is an all- girl rodeo with 50 lovelies in the saddle, and put through their formations by Prinz. Technicolor magic lifts this se- quence up to a new high for a lovely, spirited production num- ber. Four girl riders are full- blooded Indians including: Dor- othy Sky Eagle, Wilma Stan- dard, Ron Mere Darling and Dixie Carson.

Alex Gottlieb, producer of “Two Guys From Milwaukee” and “The Time, The Place and The Girl”, produced this new Warner Bros.’ picture.

Jule Styne, Sammy Cahn Compose Seven Song Hits

New Jule Styne-Sammy Cahn songs heard in Warner Bros.’ musical laugh-fest, “Two Guys From Texas”, starring Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson, which opens Friday at the Strand Theatre, includes ‘‘Music In The Land”, “I Don’t Care If It Rains All Night”, “I Never Met A Texan”, “Every Day I Love You”, “I Want To Be A Cowboy In The Movies”, “Hankerin’” and “At The Rodeo”.

Due In ‘Two Guys From Texas’

Those famous ‘two guys’, Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson are at it again! This time. down in the Lone Star state in Warner Bros.’ hilarious, musical funfest, “Two Guys From Texas”, with color by Technicolor, which opens next Friday

at the Strand Theatre.

The comedy duo, now matching funsters Hope-Crosby and Abbott & Costello in rib-tickling films, were together in “Thank Your Lucky Stars”, “Shine On Harvest Moon’’, “The Time, The Place and The Girl” and “Two Guys From Mil-

waukee”’.

The ‘two guys’ team garnered millions of new fans, with the result that Warner Bros. decided to continue their laugh adventures in this newest comedy. “Two Guys From Texas”’ is a rip-snortin’ rodeo of laughs, girls and songs, with David Butler, ace comedy director, at the helm here.

“J Want To Be A Cowboy In The Movies” heads the lively music score by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn, with LeRoy Prinz responsible for the creation and direction of the accom- panying dance numbers. The Technicolor of ““Two Guys From Texas” is rich with the brilliant tints of the southwest and desert locale, For laughs, the Morgan-Carson duo is said to chalk up another high mark in their array of comedies.

Jack Carson Rose To Top Through Vaudeville Stint

Jack Carson now co-starring with Dennis Morgan in Warner Bros.’ mirthful rodeo musical, “Two Guys From Texas”, due Friday at the Strand Theatre, was seen for the first time on any stage in Hammond, Indi- ana.

His partner in that act, Dave Willock, now is playing Jack’s nephew on the star’s radio show. That’s the kind of guy Jack is. The act may have broken up, but never Jack and Dave.

Jack did not forget that the original name of the act was Willock and Carson, with Dave “beating his brains out to keep us going,” as Jack says.

Goes Texan

Jack Carson, fresh from his nautical triumphs in “Romance On The High Seas’, goes Texan in Warner Bros.’ newest Techni- color musical round-up, “Two Guys From Texas’, in which he co-stars with Dennis Morgan. One of his outstanding numbers is “I Never Met A Texan” by

Dave came to Jack originally when Carson was selling insur- ance for his father’s company. Willock’s idea was to go into vaudeville, and it sounded good to Jack. A booking agent took a chance, put them in a Ham- mond tryout house and, with a 12-minute limit, they wowed ’em.

“No jokes,” says Jack, “all travesties. We didn’t know any jokes.”

They played Junior Orpheum time for years. As long as Car- son has a show there will be a spot for Dave Willock, And it will probably always be with Dave as Jack’s nephew, even though Willock is two years older than Carson.

In Musical

Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn, in- cluding a specialty interlude by violin-guitarist, Joe Venuti and Tony Romano, “Two Guys From Texas” opens Friday at the Strand Theatre. Dorothy Malone and Penny Edwards are also present. LeRoy Prinz staged a brilliant rodeo for the film.

RODEO SPECTACLE OF GIRLS STAGED BY LEROY PRINZ

Cheesecake on horseback is the way Warner Bros.’ dance director, LeRoy Prinz, describes the novel twist of an all-girl rodeo number in the Dennis Morgan-Jack Carson co-starrer. “Two Guys From Texas’, open- ing next week at the Strand Theatre.

“We interviewed 200 of Hol- lywood’s most beautiful riders,” said Roy, “and ended up with the choice 50.”

In addition to interviewing girls, Prinz and his crew inter- viewed horses, hundreds of them, finally settling on $200,- 000 worth of choice horses.

“They had to be beautiful to match their riders,” he said. “Pintos, painters and palominos for which any horse trader would give his right arm for a stable full.”

To add the proper color that an all-girl Texas rodeo needs, Prinz signed Dorothy Sky Eagle, Wilma Standard, Ron Mere Darling and Dixie Car- son, four full blooded Indian cuties who are the finest stunt riders in the business.

RUBBER ICE CREAM SERVED TO EXTRAS

Rubber ice cream was served on the “Two Guys From Texas” set at Warner Bros.

Seventy-five of the 300 extras were assigned to buy ice cream cones from a vendor while they watched Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson on a couple of bucking broncos.

The scene took three days to shoot and the sun was blazing at 103 degrees. And it was not logical to ask the actors to drown themselves in ice cream.

Besides, ice cream does not look like that to a Technicolor camera. But rubber ice cream cones can be not only dyed to the required shade, but shaped as double deckers or partially eaten single deckers.

Thus 75 people nibbled away at one ice cream cone for two days under the hot sun and it never melted.

Dorothy Malone Discusses Her Long Trek to Stardom

Overnight can be a long, long time, thinks Dorothy Malone.

The Irish beauty from Dallas, Texas, will find her name right under Dennis Morgan’s on the billboards that advertise War- ner Bros.’ handsome new Tech- nicolor musical, “Two Guys From Texas”. But while work- ing on that picture she talked with a combination of wariness and amusement of her so-called “discovery.”

She said, “I guess most peo- ple around the country think that the routine goes like this: You sit at the soda fountain, some nattily-dressed agent comes along and says ‘Kid, you’re it,’ rushes you to a producer’s office, convinces him you’re Joan Craw- ford and Lauren Bacall all in one, and, proff, you find your- self co-starred with Errol Flynn

and Humphrey Bogart.

“Not on your life!”

“So, as far as I’m concerned,” Dorothy says, “overnight in show business is more than a sleeper jump from MHockaday School for Girls in Dallas to Dennis Morgan and Jack Car- son. Overnight in three long years of work and study.”

Dorothy’s three years under contract to Warner’s began af- ter another studio dropped her from a list of players who have since become stars, which is ex- actly what happened to Ann Sheridan. Her apprenticeship included many long months of diction, dancing, one-act plays, tests with other players and the whole rigorous routine to which young featured players are sub- jected. Overnight, she thinks, can be a long, long time.

Dennis Morgan Likes To Sing All The Time

Dennis Morgan starring with Jack Carson in Warner Bros.’ handsome new Technicolor musi- cal round-up, “Two Guys From Texas’, coming soon to the Strand Theatre, likes to sing any time of the day. And he believes that he sings his best before a few friends around his own home piano, in his own tiled bathroom and in church. He has several recordings of his own which he likes to have played for his good friends. They are recorded hymns.

CLEATUS CALDWELL PLAYS INDIAN PART

After testing 25 actresses to play the role of the Indian maid who makes eyes at Jack Carson in “Two Guys From Texas”, Warner Bros. took a quick look in their own back yard and found just the ticket.

Cleatus Caldwell, wife of Warner star, Bob Hutton, and Miss America of 1940, was signed for the role in the Den- nis Morgan-Jack Carson Techni- color musical, after the order had gone out from the office of Producer Alex Gottleib to “get the most beautiful girl you can find.”

Cleatus, besides being one of the most beautiful girls in the world, had the edge on most other aspirants, being an Okla- homa-born part Indian.

Bugs Bunny Achieves Spot in ‘Two Guys’

Bugs Bunny, Warner Bros.’ celebrated —carrot-munching rabbit, plays an important role in Warner Bros. new Dennis Morgan-Jack Carson Technicolor starrer, ‘“‘Two Guys From Texas”, opening Friday at the Strand Theatre.

Penny Edwards, Dancing Sensation, In Warner Film

A sensational new dancing star, Penny Edwards, bows in Warner Bros.’ laugh-provoking musical, “Two Guys From Texas’, Dennis Morgan-Jack Carson ‘Technicolor _ starrer, opening next Friday at the Strand Theatre.

She hails from the Broadway musical stage, danced and sang in Cole Porter’s “Let’s Face It”; “Ziegfeld Follies’, the Olsen & Johnson madcap entertainment, “Laffing Room Only’, and other smash musicals. For style and personality, Miss Edwards has been considered by Hollywood insiders to be in the class with Marilyn Miller, June Haver, Lu- cille Bremer and Eleanor Pow- ell.

She was born August 24, 1928, in Jackson Heights, New York, the daughter of Ethel (Reaser) and Charles C. Ed- wards. Her father is in the in- surance business.

Penny started out with a non- professional name, the birth records in the Borough of Queens noting that she was called Millicent. She would have

normally fallen into the Milli- cent rut, and would have been known by her schoolmates as Millie, but she declared verbal warfare on any of her friends so inclined.

Then there was an era when her chums tagged her’ as “Cent.” This, too, brought fire to the eye and it wasn’t long before she coined the name of Penny, And Penny she has re- mained to this day.

Tommy Hyde gave her her first dancing lessons at the age of 6, and Alan Corelli arranged for her first professional ap- pearance. Penny accumulated the stature of a _ successful Conover model, and as such she bathed in fluffy bath soaps, bared her teeth to show she brushes right, tried on nylons, submitted to taste tests of soda pop, and once modelled as a nurse who “would use only one kind of bandage and if she didn’t have it, she’d walk two miles to get it, even if the pa- tient died.” “Two Guys From Texas” is her first feature-role film. She’s someone to watch.
