LEE TRACY WINS
HOLLYWOOD spot
Overnight He Gains Recogni-
ton Making Him Independ-
ent of Contracts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, August 18-Flmland
changes It's opinion of its bad boys"
rapidly. Overnight it decided Lee
Tracy was not black sheep but a
golden lamb.
Literally overnight-the night Of the
preview Of Blessed Event" the film
Tracy made just before his disagree
ment with Warner Bros. ended in their
parting company. The Broadway star
was boosted to position from which
he can pick and choose his roles, sign
contracts or not, just as he pleases.
And Lee, working hard, one picture
at a time, surveys the situation with
amusement, a good business sense and
touch of resentment at the gossip
that flew around Hollywood concerning
his repeated tardiness, his undisciplined
behavior, his general unreliability.
A Second Timer.
Tracy, who won Broadway fame as
the hoofer in Broadway" and en-
Front Page" is a secondtimer in
Hollywood.
In 1929 he came here under contract
to Fox, was feateured in a backstage
picture, Big Time" with Mae Clarke.
and when it Topped was relegated to
small supporting roles to work out his
40-week contract.
He returned to the stage and con-
tinued successfully, coming back to
Hollywood this year for the THE
Strange Love of Molly Louvain."
when that was over" he says, "they
put me into one picture after another,
ney walked out they offered me his
part in Blessed Event r-c,.-iIc I'd
sign a long-term contract.
Il wanted the part, and I signed.
But when the picture was finished we
agreed to disagree, all amicably, and
was given release.
Then the stories started popping.
I'd been seen weaving on the set, I
heard, and several times I'd failed to
show up at all. I was pretty bad egg
generally, too.
'As matter Of fact. was late on
the set twice. I was tired out, having
done one picture after another without
a rest, and having been kept working
admit, but twice I oversight in The
morning. That was the only founda-
ton for any Of the gossip"
A Different Type Hero.
In further vindication of his relia-
Dulty Tracy pOlnCS 10 66U consecutive
performances in Broadway" wherein
James Cagney, then his understudy,
never had chance at his role, and to
200 in "The Front Page"
Not handsome, Tracy is different"
type Of movie hero. He Is dapper,
breezy, energetic. Without makeup he
might be real estate salesman, an
oil promoter. or newspaper man He
doesn't depend on his looks for his
success.
Since the Blessed Event" preview,
Tracy has had long-term contract offers
from every major studio except Fox
and, of course, Warner Bros. He isn't
taking any of them. preferring to work
on picture-to-picture basis. He has
enough picture offers now to keep him
here long time and he intends,
eventually. to get back to Broadway.
Identified with newspaper man
roles since THE Front Page" he has
! broken away from type in Night
Mayor" and in washington Merry
Go-Round," in both of which he plays
public officials.
