Bed Of Roses Is
Next Film for
Ann HARDING
BY HARRISON CARROLL


Copyright. 1882. King Feature Syndicate
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April ..
A bold mover from the first,
young David Selznick has decided
that Ann Harding will turn exotic
fc' her next picture.
Shelving several other stories
that were under consideration,
he has given orders to go ahead
on Bed of Roses" an original
idea by Adela Rogers Hyland.
Staff writer's will be assigned to
make an immediate adaptation,
and, with good luck, the produc-
ton should get under way in from
80 to so days.
II will be AIMS first chance at
q glamorous role. For some
reason, possibly because she has
never shown much interest in
fashions. the idea has gotten
around tn ! Ann lacks glamor.
Not used to thinking in rut,
Mr.. Selznick began to ask why.
Then, when nobody could think
of a good reason, he decided that
a radical change in characterize
ton may be just the thing for
Ann right now.
It's a little early for accurate
prediction, but 1 think Laurence
oliver is a likely choice for the
masculine lead in Bed Of Roses.
Studio officials are very much
pleased with his work opposite
Ann in her latest picture, West
ward Passage"

Butter and Egg. Man.
ISCOmmencementP Play

The large attendance at "The
Butter and Egg Man. last week,
and the enthusiasm with which
it was received at all three per,
formances, indicate that the
Carolina Playmakers are wise in
deciding to present this comedy
by George Kaufman as their
commencement show. 1t will
be performed Saturday evening,
June 4.
Rarely if ever have the Uni
versity students given a better
exhibition of acting than they
gave in "The Butter and Egg
Man" Harold Baumstone, in
role of Joe Lehman, the ignor-
ant, hard-boiled play-producer,
was particularly good, and he
was well matched by John L.
Sehon (as Peter Jones, the in
nocent come-on from Ohio).

mani, and Jack Whitehead (as
Oscar Fritchie, the timid, stage
struck hotel man of Syracuse).

Marlowe), Gloss Peace Gas Kitty
Humphreys), and Harry +.

The play, a rollicking farce
which ran a year in New York
and won the Pulitzer prize, is
a satire on play managers and
play-actors. 1t is full of slang
and Wise-cracks.
Harry f. Davis. assistant
director and business manager
of the Carolina Playmakers,
directed the production, and the
scenery was designed by Sam
Selden, and he was aided in the
execution of the settings by

have asked me, in the last year
or so: What do you print all
that bird stuff for?" | confess
that at first | was doubtful
about the reports contributed by
Eugene Odum and Colt Coker ;
but | have been surprised by the
number Of letters that have
come in, expressing interest in
these reports. 1t turns out that
there are a great many more
bird fans than | suspected.
The latest expression of inter
est comes from a distinguished
citizen of South Carolina, David
R. Coker of Hartsville. He sends
me a copy of this letter he has
written to Eugene Odum:
Dear Eugene:
| want to congratulate you on
the return of your pet tanager
for the fifth year. | can fully
realize what your feelings were
when you recognized her.
We have on our place wood
thrush which has returned five
years in succession. We have
not succeeded in tanning him
bAt recognize him by his indl-
vidual song. He and his mate
nest every year in the same
part of the garden. 1t is quite
an event with my little girls
when they first recognize his dis
tinctive song each year from
April 7th to April llth.
| expect to attend commence
ment at your University and
hope then to meet YOU and also
see my friend and cousin, Colt
Coker, for | am much interested
in your intelligent observations
of the birds.
Yours very truly,
David r. Coker.
