grandfather's yacht, arrives in this
country and goes to work in her
own department store; Fredric
March is the reporter assigned to
cover her story.
Here you have, says Mr.. Roach, a
romantic comedy, not straight
drama, and it combines general
news, society news and lovelOrn col
umn material. Better study it with
that in mind, if you're interested in
seeing how film stories are put to-
gether.
Remember Corinne Griffith, you
old-tiners? Not that your memo
ries need 60 so very far back;
it's not so long since she was pop
ular star. Corinne is one of the few
really happy retired stars. Her hus-
band, George Marshall, owns one
of the big professional football
teams, and he and she travel with
the team during the season.
And she has those two little girls
whom she adopted few years ago,
taking them from an orphan asylum,
and taking two when she'd meant
to adopt just one because they were
sisters. Needless to say, she's
bringing them up beautifully-or
thought she was, until she discov-
cred that their favorite game is &C.
man.; that, when left to themselves,
they make the nursery ring with
"You won't talk, then-you rat!
Take that-and that!'
Another young devotee of gang
ster life is Sabu; remember him in
''The Elephant Boy? This young
Indian arrived in New York from
London for the opening of his latest
picture, Drums" the new Alexan-
der Korda release. When Robert
Flaherty discovered him in India,
while searching for youngster to
play the title role in elephant
Boy" he was just one more young
Indian, an orphan, poor; you should
see him now!
He loves American slang, which
he picked up from the Hollywood
technicians in the English movie
studio where he worked. And he is
wild about the movies, especially
American gangster pictures. His
enthusiasm also includes war films
and any method of travelling fast,
particularly planes. And three years
ago he was riding elephants and
liking it!

Seth Parker, with 'Ma" and their
Jonesport neighbors, is back on the
air on Sunday evenings; people all
over the country feel as if old
friends had returned to them. Phil
lips Lord, who is "Seth," plans to re-
vive many of his first successes
the old-fashioned singing school
among them. And, of course, there
are the Sunday night gatherings in
which the Parkers and the neigh,
bors sing hymns.
Fathers all over the country are
turning the radio on late in the after
Moons so that their sons can listen
to ''Dick Tracy"-and not admitting
that they did it because they want
ed to listen themselves. For .'Dick"
has returned to the air, more
energetic than ever in his battle
against criminal activities.
