Pineville PlasteredWith Posters as Miamians Vie with Rival *Jesse James9 Crews in Ozark HollywoodA photographic impression of the highlights of Darryl F. Zanuck's production, “Jesse James,” graphically shows some of the thrilling moments in the spectacular 20th Century-Fox Technicolor epic, which comes today to the Coleman theater. Starred in the film are Tyrone Power, in the role of the famous outlaw; Henry Fonda as his brother, Frank; Nancy Kelly, who portrays the wife of Jesse James, and Randolph Scott, seen in an important role.Pineville was plastered today, according to Manager John Giffin of the Coleman theater—but with announcements from five different theaters heralding the opening of ‘Jesse James.”Giffin said his bill-posting crew met similar groups from Joplin, Neosho, Bentonville and Fayetteville in the little Ozark town where the film opening today at the Coleman was made last summer.On a barn at the northwest corner of the square, Giffin related, the entire structure was covered with Coleman posters — interspersed with bills from the other towns.well in the center of the town was completely encircled and covered from* top to bottom with posters, Giffin said. Each bill-posting crew took turn about putting up the respective announcements. Crews Are Friendly All the advertising crews ate lunch together, and town officials with them. The city dads expressed no ire at the wholesale plastering,” but encouraged the crews to greater efforts, Coleman employes said.Wish we had another picture under way right now,” one of the townspeople was quoted as saying, ‘and we may have one next summer, too.”The hospitality that prevailed in the little town of Pineville the advertising crews werewas a repetition of the spirit that prevailed there while “Jesse James” was in the making, Giffin said. The town took the company 'to raise,” in Ozark parlance—and n contrast to many other towns in similar circumstances, didn’t attempt to “gouge” the actors.Chicken dinners, steaks and trout dinners sold for 50 cents. Other prices were in similar vein. Instead of trying to raise prices and trim Hollywoodians, the natives treated the film troupe more as their guests than as something to fleece, as often is the case on location.Airplane Aided ‘Jesse’The airplane enabled Hollywood to go on this spectacular location, the only one of its kind in the film capital’s history. Every afternoon at 4 o’clock, the camera was unloaded and the film taken by automobile 26 miles to the nearest airport at Neosho, Mo., where it was placed aboard a special chartered plane and flown to Kansas City, where it was turned over to TWA to go via air express to Hollywood where it was developed at e Technicolor laboratories and print sent back by plane.These prints were run off every other night at a little theater in Noel, that had not been in use for . But the film company had rented the building, brought in a projection machine, sound equipment and sufficient sound material to fix the walls of the house so acoustics would be authentic. In this way Director King, Cameraman George Barnes. Technicolor Cameraman Duke Green and others of the company saw the “rushes” and were able to check on their progress in typical Hollywood efficiency.At Pineville, the troupe had teletype installed that gave direct communication with the 20th Century-Fox studio in Hollywood. In this manner, the officials of the studio and of the location troupe kept in close co-operation through-ut the long location.Whew! and Another Whew Modern efficiency certainly llustrated in Claire DuBrey’s case. Cast for the role of Bob Ford’s ife, Claire was sent to the location by plane, arrived early one morning, motored to the set, got into makeup, costume, went over her lines again and played the scenes with Ford (John Carradine.) The entire scene was filmed in color that morning, that afternoon she motored back to the airport,• aught the plane into Kansas City and was in Hollywood the same night.All other members of the eastCOMMERCEThe Ladies Aid society of the Methodist church met at the church for an all day meeting Thursday.
