PITTSBURGH.—Brownie, a med-

Century-Fox's “The Iron Curtain”
tells only the truth, according to Sol
Siegel, its producer. It “actually
tells the code clerk's story, backed
by Canadian government documents
as well as more than 100 Russian
documents,” he states.

At KKO they feel that we want
to see pictures which “re-create
vital phases of American history
featuring the legendary figures
whose colorful personalities lent
further excitement to the stirring
times in which they live.” In
simpler words, "Fort Apache”
has been making money, so
they’re rushing "Return of the
Bad Men,” a film about despera-
does of the Old West.
Edgar Bergen plans to make a
Y dinavian trip this summer. He’s
taking Charlie McCarthy and Mor-
timer Snerd on this trip—can’t do
without them. Reviews of his per-
formance as the shy Norwegian
undertaker in “I Remember Ma-
ma” startled him.
Eleven-year-old Joan Lazer, fea-
tured in CBS's “Young Dr. Malone”
and the Broadway hit, “Me and
Molly,” has been placed under con-
tract by Columbia pictures. She will
appear as an Italian girl her own
age in her first film.
Ingrid Bergman again has won
the Woman's Home Companion
poll as the screen's most popular
actress; Greer Garson was sec-
ond again. Seems the older women
like her better than the youngsters
do and remember her good pic-
tures, not "Desire Me.” Claudette
Colbert was third; Bette Davis,
fourth. The men: Bing Crosby
(third time). Gregory Peck, Spen-
cer Tracy, Cary Grant.

Speeding Train Stops
Fight Between Drivers
ABERDEEN, MD.—A south-
bound express settled at least the
initial phase of an argument that
arose when a local motorist
found his way across the Penn-
sylvania railroad tracks blocked
by another motor car.
Corp. John Lanbeck of the
state police said Frank Siran-

with the other driver, heard a
crash, and turned around to see
that a train had carried his car
a mile down the tracks.
