Glamour Mothers

Then along came such stellar
mothers as Joan Bennett. Marlene
Dietrich. Vivien Leigh, Margaret
SULLIVAN, Virginia Bruce. Joan
Blondel. Mary Martin. Maureen
O'Sullivan, Irene Hervey. kllen
Drew. Jane Wyman. Norm a
Shearer Annabella, Janet Gaynor,
Sylvia Sydney and Andrea Leeds.
They all obviously and com
pletely refuted the producers and
their ideas that motherhood neceS-
sarily marks the end OF feminine
beauty and appeal
Marriage and motherhood
aren't glamorOus," was the early
theme of the producers. "They
are strictly average-woman pro-
cedures."
And Hollywood'S career history

very hard death. II wasn't until
a decade ago that A famous lady

Producer Chases Sylvia Sidney
And Child Using Baby Buggy
Pursuit Is From
Syracuse to
Detroit
BY CHARLES GENTRY

HAROLD KENNEDY is prob
ably the only producer who has to
nurse a play and a baby at the
same time.
He is keeping an eagle eye
on his production of Accent On
Youth" at the CasS and a tender
one on 18-month-old Jody Adler
at the ook-Cadillac.
Although Sylvia Sidney and her
husband, Luther Adler, parents OF
the child, are quite capable of
taking care of their own offspring,
Sylvia says that Kennedy is self
adopted godfather and that he is
as devoted to their infant and

Free Italians are eager not only
to free Italy from the yoke OF
Fascism and the Gestapo but to
show the world that in such a

would be an excellent aversion.

that the sight o. more of the hated
Germans walking in on them would

might even help precipitate revolt.
Unlike the CzechS, Poles and 9TH

Italians here hope the revolt would

there is considerable pro- British

admiration.
