HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Jan. Is.

tative cast for its big experiment

Norma Shearer, of course, is set
as the heroine of Eugene O'Neills
Freudian drama-famous for its
asides.
Now comes the rumor through
secret channels, that Clark Gable,
Ralph Graves and Conrad Nagle
are likely to play the three mas
culine leads.
My unofficial source names
Gable as the doctor, who becomes
the heroine's lover; Ralph Graves
as the husband, and Conrad
Nagle as the futile Charlie. Pre-
llminary tests of these actors are
said to have been satisfactory.
OF course, this doesn't settle the
matter-as we Hollywood report
