John Gunther's best seller, "Inside U.S.A.," inspired the title for this Arthur Schwartz production, which embraces many scenes, in a satirical melodious Cook's tour of things peculiarly American.

Subjects like surly waiters, ultra-modern sleeping gadgets, pulse-taking researches, radio give-aways, pet supersti tions and perplexed redskins all figure in strikingly designed sets by Lemuel Ayers. These scenes extend from Broadway to Churchill Downs and from Chilli- cothe to New Orleans. First Male Comic Lew Parker is first male comic of "Inside U.S.A."

She says they have made no marriage plans. She does not deny that they will eventually wed, although "we have determined to wait a year or two, because we believe our romance will be just as solid then as now, and if it isn't, it won't be right." Devotee of Von Sternberg Miss Leigh is a devotee of Von Sternberg. "He is a brilliant director," she said. "He observes everything, even the smallest detail on the set, and quietly and efficiently conveys instructions which stimulate you to give your best in each scene. I can't imagine anyone who could be more right for me at this particular time, and I believe am going to gain much through this picture." "Jet Pilot, which has been fostered by Writer Jules Furth- man, has been long preparing at RKO as a picture which Hughes, with his great interest in aviation, was especially desirous of producing.

Miss Leigh will certainly be a novel presence as a jet pilot. "I hope I going to fly while it is under way, even in a jet plane," she said.

"And to think I had a chance to invest in 'Streetcar' and didn't," she wailed. i Takes Breather As a breather between the Williams play and her return to films, Miss Tandy played the feminine lead in Bemelmans' "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" in the Stanford University drama workshop.

Her husband, Hume Cronyn, directed it there and is about to begin rehearsals on the Broadway version with Frederic March and Florence Eldridge starred. Jessica would naturally like to do the film version of "Streetcar," but it appears that Olivia de Havilland will be the star. The actress is devoted to her home and children, and is really torn between love and duty when film and stage assignments ar rive. She has a daughter, 15, by her first husband, Jack Hawkins, and two youngsters, 6, and 4, by her second spouse, Cronyn.
