'Forbidden Planet’
Launches M-G-M
Into Outer Space
With the filming of “Forbidden
Planet,” M-G-M launched its
maiden flight into outer space in
a science-fiction drama taking
place in 2200 A.D. It will be seen
Friday and Saturday .at the Nom
erama.
The picture, filmed in Cinema
Scope and color, with a cast head
ed by Walter Pidgeon, Anne
Francis and Leslie Nielson, un
folds the drama of the flight of
a space ship to a remote planet,
where a previous exploration
party is known to have landed,
but from whom no message has
been received.
“Forbidden Planet” set a new
high in creative problems and
taxed the combined technical re
sources of the entire studio.
Construction of the four major
sets—the space ship, its interior,
a futuristic laboratory and a
House of Tomorrow — called for
the entire floor space of four of
the studio’s largest sound stages,
covering an area of 98,332 square
feet.
Some idea of the attention to
detail may be seen in one win
dow, measuring 11 feet by 14 feet.
This is filled by a night view of
the heavens. It was created by
the studio from actual photo
graphs taken through the 200
inch telescope at Polomar. Mount
ed on transparent material and
lighted from the rear, it presents
a dazzling and more realistic view
of the heavens than has ever
been seen by the naked eye.
Today’s cheerful thought: It’s a I
small world, and getting smaller
all the time. Maybe it will soon
disappear.

Juneau Girl, 21, Stands In for
Mary Martin in Musical Comedy
LOS ANGELES, (#)—A packed
house at Philharmonic Auditori
um gave comely Renee Guerin of
Juneau a standing ovation for her
starring role in “Annie Get Your1
Gun” Wednesday night, but she
was crying so hard she didn’t hear
the applause.
The 21-year-old Alaska miss—
who never before had played a
major role in the theater—went
on for Mary Martin as the star of
the play when Miss Martin was
bedded down by influenza.
“They called me at two o’clock
Tuesday afternoon. At 4:30 I was
being rushed into costumes,” said
Renee Wednesday as she sat in
the flower-filled star’s dressing
room. “Everything happened so
fast I didn’t have time to get
scared. This is a dream come true
for me. Ever since I can remem
ber I wanted to.be a musical com
edy star, like Mary Martin.
“I’m an only child (of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Barney of Juneau) and
pretty spoiled. My grandmother,
Mrs. Amy Fromholz, saw the show
and called mother and dad,” she
said.
“I’m so thrilled. It’s hard to
believe.”
How did she feel face to face
with thousands of persons over
the footlights?
“Oh, that audience was the liv
ing end,” said Renee, a hazel-eyed
brunette. “They were with me all
the wey. And what a cast, and
the stagehands, oh, everybody.”
The producer interrupted to tell
her the line in front of the box
office “isn’t made up of people
asking for their money back.”
Renee had two telegrams—one
from Miss Martin saying “I truly
wish I was there to see you;” the
other, from co-producer Richard
Halliday, Miss Martin’s husband,
saying “Glad to see you riding in
my Mrs.’ saddle.”
She had been playing a minor
role in “Annie” and understudy
ing Miss Martin’s role.
Ronald Senungeiuk, son of Mr. |
and Mrs. Willie Senungetuk of
Nome, has enrolled as a freshman
in the School for American Crafts
men at Rochester Institute of
Technology.
Ronald, a 1953 graduate of Mt.
Edgecumbe School, is a member
of one of the largest freshman
classes ever to enter RIT, totaling
some 700 students.
