.LENORE URIC
DECIDES TO
QUIT FILMS
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

NAANANANA@ @AAs-@~N~4~~
According to the stories which
trickle in from the West, the Fox
Company has patched up its row
with Janet Gaynor and the little
star will 60 back to work. This
Is good news.
The Gaynor rebellion is said
to have begun because she OBJ
jected to being starred in the
singing and dancing pictures.
"Sunny-Side Up" and High So,
ciety Blues" have made and are
still making q ton Of mohey for
Fox but the Gaynor choice was
for roles like Diana In Seventh

the song and dance stuff, said
Janet. :.
Fox threatened to replace her
with other actresses, naming Rose
Hobart and Maureen O'Sullivan
as promising talent to pinch hit
In the Gaynor roles. This was an
empty threat because Janet Gay
nor means much at the box
office and the substitutes have
yet to acquire film fame. On the
other hand the Gaynor name was
stricken from the payroll for
three months and that hurt.
At any rate Winfield Sheehan,
head d the Fox organization,
who discovered and built up the
Gaynor talent. gets credit for
settling the dispute. The inside
tip was that Gaynor, although
bound by contract, took this
means OF getting a pay raise and
that the ruse was partially sue
