QJames Stewart---When Did He Sign for "Northside"?
AChicago Tribune, June 6, 1947, p. 30:LOOKING AT HOLLYWOODby Hedda HopperHollywood, June 5---Jimmy Stewart will star in "Call Northside 777" and Henry Hathaway will direct it. Most of the scenes will be shot in Chicago, with production starting in August. Since Jimmy has gone to New York to take over the Frank Fay role in 'Harvey,' it's almost a foregone conclusion that he'll wind up playing the part on the screen. I reported some months ago that Brock Pemberton and Andy Stone had made arrangements to star Bing Crosby in the film. But so many protesting letters came in from Catholics that Bing is no longer in the picture. "How," fans wanted to know, "could Bing play an inebriate in "Harvey" after playing Father O'Malley in 'Going My Way'?"______________________________
QHelen Walker---When was she signed for "Northside"?
AChicago Tribune, September 11, 1947, p. 32, c. 1:LOOKING AT HOLLYWOODby Hedda HopperHollywood, Sept. 10---Helen Walker, who recently finished "Nightmare Alley," will play opposite Jimmy Stewart in "Nortrhside 777." Richard Conte, who's also supposed to be in the latter picture, is still under suspension, altho the film is supposed to start in about a week. Conte wants romantic leads and no more heavies. . . .__________________________
