Joan Fontaine Gets
Lead in 'Rebecca'

David o. Selznick announces the
signing of Joan Fontaine for the
role of the young wife in "Rebecca,"
and Gladys Cooper for the role of
Beatrice "Rebecca," under the di-
rection of Alfred Hitchcock, from
the famous novel by Daphne Du
Maurier, is now before the cameras.
Miss Fontaine entered pictures
two years ago after brief stage
experience. Her first important
screen role was in "Gunga Din"
Later she appeared in Man of
Conquest" The Duke of West
Point" and most recently THE
Women" She is the bride of Brian
Aherne and sister of Olivia De Havil-
land. She is the third comparative
unknown to whom David o. Sell
nick has assigned a starring role
in the past year-Ingrid Bergman,
Swedish star, is introduced in In
ternezzo, a Love Story" and Vivien
Leigh is Scarlet in Gone With the
Wind"

he fatty refused to face . camera
and Hollywood was anathema.
An automobile accident, which
threatened for a time to destroy Miss
Lombard's beauty, proved, instead, to
be her greatest opportunity. Cooper
actually had boarded a train, en-
route home to forget Hollywood,
when he reluctantly answered a last
minute studio call that gave him his
start to screen fame. Boyer was so
unhappy when he first came to
Hollywood, he asked twice to be re-
leased from contracts and his re-
quest was granted.
So disappointed over ner failure
to win the role of the Madonna in
Ben Hur," Myrna 10y walked OIL
the -Goldwyn-Mayer lot and
didn't return for i've years. "A
Free Soul" brought Lionel Barry
more an Academy Award and new
career, after he had given up acting
to direct. Like the postman, oppor-
tunity knocks more than once IN
Hollywood.

A telephone, disguised as Ian
tern, hangs at the barred entrance
to Warren Williams estate. An
inventor friend of Warner Baxter
fixed a different way for him to
open his gates. A coil in his car
sends an impulse to a device in the
pavement. Pat O'Briens radio looks
like a bookshelf. A valume of his
tory tips forward to disclose the

Bob Burns longing for Arkansas
is reflected In the stock of mules
at his ranch and the log cabin and
solitary burro behind his Bel-Air
home. Neighbors once objected to
the burro, but Bob silenced them
with:
"One more jackass in the neigh

Fred "Gunman" MacMurray has a
soundproofed shooting gallery in his

But Humphrey Bogart's billiard
