Paramount has purchased the London stage success The Man in Half Moon Street, a story of a 90 year old man using science to remain youthful. Artie Shaw will check in at MGM July 12 to perform in The Dancing Coed. Hedy Lamarr doubts she is being considered for Ziegfeld Girls and notes the role allows her accent. Lana Turner co-stars with Lamarr. Margaret Sullavan headlines and Mack Gordon and Harry Warren write music. Larry Fox has formed plans for General films and bought film rights to Marquis James books on Andrew Jackson The Border Captain and Portrait of a President. James may adapt his Pulitzer volumes for the screen if he pauses work on the duPont biography.
