HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP
Gish-Meredith
AreCominqin
StorWogon'

Maxwell Anderson's newest
play, THE Star-Wagon," will be
presented by Gutherie McClin-
tic at the National Theater for
one week beginning Monday
evening, May 8, directly after
its highly successful run Of six
months in New York.
Burgess Meredith, who has
through his performance in
those other Anderson-McCl intic
presentations of "WinterSet"
and High Tor become recog.
nized as the most talented young
man on the stage today, plays
the leading role.
Cofeatured with him in Lillian
Gish, erStwhile star of the
cinema, whose popularity has
become even greater since she
renounced pictures for exclusive
work in the legitimate theater
some eight years ago. Others in
the large cast. which was di-
rected by Mr.. McClintic, include
Russell Collins, Mildred Natwick,
Jane Buchanan, Barry Kelly, j.
Arthur Young, KEENAN, Wynn
and Ralph Riggs.
THE Star-Wagon," unlike Mr..
Anderson's last few plays, is
written in prose and is full of
humorous and romantic stu
atoms that delight modern audi
ences. The story takes the
players from the present day in
a Midwest town back to the turn
Of the century and reveals the
drama, the heartache and the
JOY in their lives.
In the first and last acts, Mr..
Meredith and Miss Gish are
about so years old, but in the
second act, they are seen as gay
sweetheartS in their romantic
twenties.
Six intriguing settings that
contribute much joy to the
flavor of 1.-THE Star-Wagon" were
designed by Joe Mielziner.

sawed in Hollywood. He was
playing in an English stock
company when Daryl Ia

Empire must play the lead ju-
ssvenile role in the picture made
from David Garth's book, -Four
Men and a Prayer"

Flowed the boss orders, and nine
days later Richard Greene was
in Hollywood and the build-up
began.
t He was seen frequently at
parties with Sonia Henie, pre-
,Sumably a Trocadero mate
picked by studio publicity. Col
'umnists were encouraged to say
he was that way" about the
'PaVloWa OF the ice.
He escorted Loretta Young to
one or two of the important
Hollywood previews, was pushed
forward at social events where
the cameramen were busy.
A lead with Loretta Young, in
a picture directed by John Ford,
is an important first assignment
in Hollywood. Young Greene
,now faces the task Of living up
ssto the billing, and earmsrking
him as a possible rival for Clark
Gable doesn't make his role any
seasier.
: The industry's shrewd judges
sof talent say that young Mr..
Greene has what it takes to in
Tterest the feminine movie-goer.
Perhaps. He will interest this
male more when he gets q bet.

would happen to such o union
turned out to be almost exact
truth. He also was opposed to
the marriage of his daughter,
Helene, to Lowell Sherman.
Both marriages were dissolved
by divorce. as he predicted they
were certain to be.
Maurice Costello, for this, and
other reasons, forfeited the close
affection Of his children, at a
time when his career was near
the end, and he needed it most.
Appropriate is the poem

at a time when her star had
faded, when she was glad to get
work in Hollywood as an extra.
On the set one day she penned
these lines for q columnist:

Wondering at my tears

On painted cheeks,
Wrinkled

Alight for the moment,

before they are divorced, that adult
cry was formerly punished more sew
erely than murder
On this date in 1850, the British
Parliament ordained that adultery be
punished by death, and prescribed
hanging as the means of execution.
No one suffered this penalty for the
offense in England, several did in
New England.
The law was simply a modification
OF custom of the early Saxons. They
burnt the adulteress, and erected
gibbet over her ashes, wherein they
hanged the adulterer. It was not
deemed adultery, however, unless a
married woman was the offender.
When England finally revoked the
law making adultery a capital offense
it adopted instead a statute giving a
husband the right to collect damages
from one who has committed adultery
with his wife. It's still the opinion
in England that adultery on the part
of the wife constitutes grounds for a
divorce, while on the part of the hus-
band must be either incestuous or
bigamous to be a divorce cause! An
other sidelight on British thinking is
provided by the law, long in effect,
preventing couple from ever being
divorced if both are proven guilty of
adultery!

SUN SET.

Just at the close of long happy day
When the sun sinks deep in the west,
And the little birds swing to and fro
This is what we like Lest.
We love to watch its golden rays
Beneath a sky so blue.
To think of all the good deeds that's
done
And of every one so true.
1 hope when the sun set softly fades
Each task has been very great.
I hope there's nothing left undOne
Nothing for us to regret.
