ssD EBECCA" was released
IN at last, a few weeks ago,
and people are still arguing
about it; the chances are that
the arguments will continue for
long, long time. For it's one
of those cases of eff you liked
the book you probably won't
like the picture.
That's unfortunate, because
the picture is superb. Hitch
cock, the top-notch English
director, handled it unusually
well. Technically, it could hardly
be bettered. The eerie, supernat-
ural feeling that pervaded the book
has been admirably brought to the
screen.
Joan Fontaine, under Hitchcock s
direction, gave such performance
that she has proved her right to
being known as an excellent actress
in her own right; the time may
come when Olivia de Havilland will
be known as Joan Fontaine's sis
ter" instead of its being the other
way round. The entire cast is ex-
ceptionally good; it's one of the best
pictures that have come out of Hol-
lywood in long, long time. So,
even though YOU were quite mad
about the book, don't miss seeing it.
For the first time in recent years

her way through the crowd to Nc
Nair's side.
Terry McNair, you're drunk"
Then her eyes fell on Lynn, swept
her from head to foot. "And you've
dressed up another pickup in my
clothes"
There was resounding smack as
Helen McNair slapped her brother s
face. Suddenly everything was con-
fusion. People came running, they
pushed and exclaimed.
Lynn, crimson with embarrass-
ment, grabbed the arm of an at
tendant.
''Cut this!" she demanded holding
up her bruised wrist.
He shipped the silk band quickly,
for Terry was now fully occupied
with the furious Helen.
They were having violent quar-
rel with the whole room as de-
lighted spectators. The customers
loved it. The McNairs were at it
again.
Lynn escaped unnoticed to the ter
race, paused for moment to see
which course to take in her fight.
"Wen done, my dear. This way"
said a masculine voice.
It was a dark young man with an
annoying smile. He took her arm
and hurried her down through the
gardens until they came out by a
path at the front doorway.
MY cars down here"
In a few seconds they were driv-
ing away IN the moonlight, Lynn and
another strange young man.
Lynn began crying.
'PQ drive you home"
"Ohl Obi" Lynn sat there limp
beside him and did not answer.
Where do you liver"
As Lynn remained silent he
slowed the car down.
Just tell me where you live,
young woman"
81 don't live anywhere" Lynn
managed to blurt out.

Warming to Wives

Here is a learning to young UiUes
of 1910, toho think they Gun eat their
cake and hare il to. Many young s0ires,
according to Kathleen Norris, seen, to
feel that once the security OF home
and husband is theirs they Gun put
that security on the shelf and start
looking around for ne,O piaythings.
But that style of living doesn't al
toays tcork out. Sometimes the little
lady gets burned. Mothers still insist
that their young daughters t0ho are
married should put friend husband
first in their hearts. But the daughters
often think that Mother is oLd-fash-
toned and doesn't knot0 about mod
ern" men.
Usually though, they learn that
Mother is right. Naturally its all right
to know men other than your hus-
band but "afairs"-no matter hot0 in
nOcent-dre out.
And If the mistake is euer mdde-if
Mrs. Young Wife does engage in an
~afair"-she had better tell Hubby
and start all ouer again. Unless she
does tell him she isn't playing fair
and some day she'll get caught. Then
it may be too late to forget.

CHAPTER III

The man driving brought the car
to a sudden halt there on the boule-
ward. He turned toward the girl and
his voice had note of irony IN it
as he spoke:
Come, come, my child. Don't
let's get whimsical. You're not deal
ing with a college boy now. You've
had little experience with pick
ups tonight It should teach you
something. Where shall / drop your"
Lynn gasped. A sudden fury took
possession of her. How she hated
this supercilious stuffed shirt beside
her. It seemed too useless even to
attempt an explanation.

The place was crowded, but an at

roulette table for Terry and Lynn.
What shall I play, Lynn" he
kept asking. And he was winning.

Eighteen"
Terry started playing eighteen,
continuously. He won. The tension
grew. Lynn felt she must get away.
She slipped back Of Terry as he bent
over the table to watch the ball drop
into No. Is again. From the shout
that rose as she left the gambling

The night air was cool and sooth-
ing on her hot forehead. But she
was there on the terrace only few
seconds when an attendant found
her, told her Mr.. McNair wanted
her at the table.
Terry was wild when she came
back to him.
Haven't you any sense? Wen

bloodshot. Suddenly he grabbed her,

on her frock Quickly he knotted it
about her wrist, ordered the attend
ant to tie the other end to his left
arm.
''You won't get away again!"
It seemed hours to Lynn that she

Few people knew how much the
Hollywood preview of Primrose
Path" meant to Joan Carroll. In it
she plays Ginger Rogers brat sis
ter, and the option on her services
was written to run not longer than
three days after the pictures Of
fetal preview. The contract pro-
vided that she would be signed to
a fve-year studio contract if the
audience reaction was favorable for
her.
Probably no showing of picture
done her best, and all she could do
was sit and wait-to see if a lot
of strangers liked her. When you
see it-and it's swell, don't miss it
you can imagine how she felt.
When the showing was over, and
she learned that she'd won that COW
eted contract, she wanted to en-
brace everybody IN that audience.
Ken Murray, master of cere-
monies of CBS's Star Theater,"
says he turned comedian when he
was fired from his first stage job,
which was not so very long ago. He
tried to crash vaudeville, and a
comedian who felt sorry for him
told him that his jokes were terrible,
and offered to take him along as
straight" man. On his first two
appearances In that capacity Ken
got practically all the laughs-and
lost his job. Whereupon he became
a successful comedian in his own
right.
