COLD WEATHER RUINS LOCATION TRIPS

Hollywood, along with Southern Caiifornia's citrus industry, suffered somewhat during the recent period of Arctie low-pressure and sub-freezing temperatues; not so much from the cold itself, but from the damper it put on away--from-the-studio location trips. JWeather, however, did not prevent the departure of a troupe of 250 flannel-clad dndividuals, which headed for Sun Valley, near Ketchum, Idaho, where Paramount's " I Met Him in. Paris" will be filmed against the baekground of snow-capped peaks, bobsled runs, ski slides and a pictorial bar fashioned of ice, this last being the art director's ddea. The last reported temperature there was 30 degrees below zero. Nice weather. The company is headed by Claudetto Colbert. The dii'eetor is Wesley Ruggles, and heading the supporting cast are Robert Young and Melvyn Douglas. "I Met Him in Paris" is Paramount's only location picture of the moment, the others having been studiobound by the heavy black fog of citrus grove smudge hanging over the whole eountry like a pall. • Stay-at-homes are the Irene Dunne starring picture, ' ' High, Wide and Handsome," "Waikiki Wedding" with Bing Crosby, Shirley Eose, Bob Burus and Martha Raye; Carole Loinbard -*s "Swing 'High, Swing Low"; the Leo McCarey . comedy-drama "The Years Are So Long," and "Souls at Sea," with Gary Cooper and George Eaft "heading the ocean-going cast. . Some .> five other pictures make up Paramount's current production schedule.
