Tri-Art two-reeler. in which, as lead

two children. She was IA at the
time. Now, at 35. she is still play

who wasn't crazy about her own
part in the picture. said she was de-
lighted because it had done me some
good. I don't know of any other
star in the business who would have
let me get away with as big a part
as I had"
Mary has reason to be grateful to
Miss Davis. The picture puts the
veteran actress on the upSwing again
in her roller-coaster Hollywood ca

one of the sisters in Ladies in
Retirement" She may have a lead

I'D love to play the secretary with
Orson Welles as Sheridan White
side" she says. There is also an
other chore with Bette Davis in
"The Gay Sisters" in which her role
would be long and important. "I've
been turning down lots of films be-
cause, while they offered big money,
they weren't right for me-"

less tenacity. determination and
fundamental good sense. Instead of
retiring and leaving Hollywood.
Mary continued with her career, ac-

earth human beings, subject to the
same Affections. the same problems
as the rest of us. And their reaction
to life's passing show differs not too
materially from that of John @.
Public who pays their freight.
There's a top-line star, for ms
tance, who walks in his sleep-and
gets into embarrassing predica-
mentS.
Another is tormented by sleepless-
ness.
There's a dazzling glamor girl who
punctures Hollywood's traditional
glitter bubble by washing the dinner
dishes every night.
A male star noted for his daring
film fights and rescues keeps his
bedroom light burning all night. He's
subject to bad dreams and doesn't

Want to know more about these
people-and some of their equally
human colleagues? All right, here
we go!
The beauty who stands over the
sink each evening soaping and
rinsing pots and pans is Linda
Darnell-and the Hollywood servant

Tracy Has Seen Downs.
Clark Gable is the star who takes
an occasional prowl about the house
and yard without waking up. His
wife, Carole Lombard, was some

wanderings Immediately after their
marriage. But now it's great joke
and some of Carole's quaintest
stories dwell upon Clark's sleep

If you've ever done trick with
old man insomnia you know what
sympathy to bestow on a brother
sufferer! Spencer Tracy has had
some pretty stiff bouts with that
hideous meanie who cackles glee-
fully while his hysterical victim
counts sheep into the thousands.
Every time Spencer gets a movie
role he takes it to bed with him
and the two stay awake together
1t is not uncommon for Tracy to
be reading or pacing the floor when
the sun peeks over the horizon.
