"yyARNER'S "Hot Nocturne." in which Priscilla Lane, Richard Whorf, Betty Field and Lloyd Nolan are to be seen, has been retitled "NewOrleans Blues." + ♦ + + pOLLOWING Mary Martin's date with the stork, states a Hollywood writer, she will co-star again with Bing Crosby in "Man in the Street." The pair recently completed "Birth of the Blues." CAM GOLDWYN has 1.000,000 dollars in England that he cannot bring out because of the currency restrictions, writes Sheilah Graham. He is thinking of using the money to film "Captain from Connecticut" in London, providing Vivien Leigh will play the leading role, with husband Laurence Olivier as the captain. David Niven, by the way, lis still under contract to Goldwyn land has had cards printed, "In the | Tank Corps—by Special Permission of Sam Goldwyn."

LEE. British newcomer, is really going places, writes Sheilah Graham. Following her lead with Ronald Colman in "My Life with Caroline." Miss Lee went to John Ford's "How Green Was My Valley," and when that is finished she gets the top woman's role in "Three Rogues," starring Charles Laugh ton. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ JJETTY FIELD will play a smart everyday girl for the first time in her movie career in "To-morrow's Admirals," sharing top billing with Stirling Hayden and William Holden. She will wear nice clothes, have a clean face, and act charmingly. This will be quite a change from Miss Field's hussv of "Of Mice and Men." her hill-billy character in "Shepherd of the Hills," and her strarded-in-Africa role in "Victory." Her ingenue in "Seventeen" comes closest to her new nice-girl part. Rut even that was on the caricature side.
