POLARIS 7 in Albania. And with trouble in the Carpathians, in Slovakia, in [Ruthemba?], in Bulgaria. I imagine just about everybody gets stirred up including a lot of people that the rest of the world just forgot or tried to forget. Anyway,, tests and everything, confirm my first opinion. The inside of that hat was all full of wolf hairs, wild European wolf hairs. And no human ones there at all. THE END - - - - - A FEW FUTURE FANTASY FILLYUMS by Bob Tucker Universal Pictures have just concluded their annual convention in Chicago (Unicon?) and as in the usual course of events announced as part of their new season's program pictures you will be seeing after this spring. Of possible interest to you are the following: "The Wolf Man". No cast is announced for this picture, nor any details beyond a jerk-description as follows: "a new figure of grotesque horror". In probability it will emerge as a typical horror pic as has come from Universal in the past; on the theme of werewolfery. "The Ghost of Frankenstein". Comes again the tin man, this time apparently in a shroud. The cast is not given here either, but it is doubtful to this source whether that fact is worth worrying about. To us, while every fantastic is another step in the right direction, most of these "things" from Hollywood occupy the same niche in our honored opinion as that "magazine" called Future [Flecten?]. This pic is labeled as a sequel, pure and simple. "Mermaid in Distress" is jerk-described as a "novelty idea production" but beyond that it gives no hint of what it may be nor who may be in it. Don't get your hearts and hopes up, it can turn out to be a third-rate gob story, y'know. "The Black Cat" is to star that sneering personage Basil Rathbone plus Broderick Crawford, Hugh Herbert, and Anne Gwynne. The fact that the cast is given gives rise to the belief that the picture is set and probably scheduled to start rolling any time soon or maybe now. This is described as "a wacky horror picture." [U?] Could Unknown be invading Hollywood? And that, according to our source (a trade paper) is all that has been announced to the trade on that line. However Universal is holding back on some things; for of the 47 features plotted for the coming season only 23 have been announced. Some of those others can well be typical U mellers. See ya at the fillyums. THE END - - - - -
