George Cukor
Quits His Job

HOLLYWOOD The long de-
ferred and oft postponed motion
picture, Gone With the Wind. :"
ran into some more windy going
today when its director. George
Cukor, quit his Job.
His boss. Producer David o.
Selznick. said this was the most
regrettable incident of his picture
making career together they issued
a formal statement IN which they
said they'd decided to part COM
pany because they'd disagreed on
many individual scenes.
This came a. "a jolt To Clark
Gable. NiNicn Leigh, Leslie
Howard and other performers,
who said they hadn't noticed
any trouble on sound stage IL.
where Cukor and Sclznick had
worked together almost con-
stantiy on the color recording
of the troubles OF Scarlet
O'Hara. and her Civil war boy
friend, Rhett Butler.
The trouble seemed TO have
grown out of one OF those Holly
wood wrsngles, Indigenous 10 the
movie business. Selzniek borrowed
Actor Gable from Metro-Goldwyn-
MAYER. which contracted 10 dis
tribute the picture. l.. r Mayer,
executive vice president of Metro,
is the father-in-law Of Selznick,
who has Cukor one Of his closest
friends. under contract.
Well-founded reports had II that
NJ. G.. NJ. wanted one of its own
directors in charge OF the picture
and that Selznick and Cukor had
to acquiesce. Sclznick spokesman
scoffed at the idea, while Selznick
and Cukor refused to add TO their
typed statement.
The picture has been before
the cameras for three weeks,
after two wears of such scram-
bling around for performers a.

gave actual screen tests 10
more than 80. including viz
tually every personable actress

Then he confoundcd all the self
appointed experts by giving the
job to Miss Leigh. a British actress
who never before had played IN
Hollywood.

Peter Rabbit sat under his favorite
old Bramble Bush in the middle OF
the Old Brier Patch and Peter
wasn't altogether happy. No, sir, he
wasn't as happy as he should have
been. You see he was feeling rather
dissatisfied 1t seemed to him that
everybody had more than he. At
least, that is what he tried to make
himself believe He wanted to be-
lieve it, and you know you can make
yourself believe almost anything if
you want to bad enough.
Peter was waiting for Nimbleheels
the Jumping Mouse to return. MINI
bleheels had gone to search for
pocketful of seeds. It was finding
out that little Nimbleheels has pair
OF handy pockets in his cheeks that
had made foolish Peter dissatisfied.

sweet clover he could eat at one meal
and then tried to imagine crowding

Nimbleheels twinkled and snapped

but he didn't even smile as he said:
From what I have seen of you,
Peter, your stomach is bigger than
any two pockets in your cheeks could
possibly be. Besides, the kind OF
food you eat couldn't be put in a

up three whole pieces of cake"
"Hilda, never, never give him
cake, much less three pieces"
Louise protested, There are spe-
cial crackers in can for him."
Her worry at the thought of poor
Tommykins with a Stomachache
from too much cake made apart
ments unimportant. She practi-
cally came to terms for a three
room flat which was decidedly
ugly and plain. At least the sun
poured into what would be the
baby'S room. She promised to
bring deposit later.
She choked down brief lunch
and set herself to the next task
job hunting. OF course, she could
have gone back to the office where
she'd worked before her marriage.
But the girls there had given her
showers and all kinds of wedding
presents-giftS when the baby
came. She didn't like to admit 10
them that her marriage had broken
up. She was turned down in one
strange office after another. She
filled out blank after blank.
Househunting had been joy COM
pared to this. Landlords at least
welcomed you cordially.
She telephoned the house to
make sure Hilda remembered the
baby's cod liver oil.
There warn't no cod liver oil

But I'll look for it in the medicine
closet"

sisted in terror that Hilda should
get the wrong bottle.
Pocketing her pride, she went to
her old office. Sally, the boss'S
secretary, greeted her warmly.
Can I see the boSs?" Louise
explained. "I want a job"
Has Tom been fired?" Sally
asked in dismay.
"Oh, no."
Had a cut, I suppose?" Sally
commiserated with her.
"Oh, no." Louise smiled brightly,
"It'S just that I'm tired of .

three cheap places that we're hor,
