Mr.. Pemberton as the individual
who gave them their first Broadway
jobs.
Similarly, in his reading of plays,
the story goes that Mr.. Pemberton
never has turned down play simply
because he never has heard of the
author. AS an old drama critic, he
is reputed to have the courage of
his convictions. thus being enabled
10 introduce to the public such
subsequently successful playwrights
as Sidney Howard, Zona Gale, Max
well Anderson and that admirable
movie writer producer, Prest o n
Eturges.
Pemberton, whose visits to WASH
ington with new play have become
almost an annual event, will reap
pear in the foyer of the National
Theater next Monday night when
he premieres his latest production,
1.-TWO Story House" which he char
scterizes as a "shudder comedy"

many thrills and laughs as all Of
his previous ventures combined.
Most of his pilgrimages to the
Capital City have been most fruit
full, and it was from here that he
returned in triumph to Broadway
with such of his former successes
as Ceiling Zero" Lady in Wait
ing" and Kiss the Boys Goodbye" :"
On other occasions his emissaries
have made profitable stop y overs
locally with stage fare of the ilk
of strictly Dishonorable" and Per

In all of the aforementioned hits,
Mr.. Pemberton has been associated
with Antoinette Perry whose astute

16) stepped into The Little Foxes
without a moments previous screen
experience and knocked Bette and
every other member of the cast for
row of tarnished oscars.
Of course, Bette had sour and
altogether uniting role, but that
can't detract for second from the
sincere and moving performance
turned in by the gifted newcomer
who plays her daughter.
Teresa came to THE Little Foxes"
from role in Broadways Life With
Father" She had never been inside
q studio before. The Foxy Sam
Goldwyn signed her to 5-year con-
tract and she'll alternate now be-
tween stage and screen, as do Betty
Field and a select few others. At
present she is rehearsing on Broad
way for the opening of The King S
Maid" an Oscar Serlin production In
which she has the feminine lead.
Wait few weeks until THE Little
Foxes" has hit most American
screens-then watch the cry sure to
be set up by fandom for more OF
Teresa Wright, and in a hurry. In
our humble opinion, she's the best
bet Hollywood has yanked of the
Broadway boards in good many
years. We hope now that Sam Gold
wyn, with limited production facll-
tiles, can keep the girls career in full
motion.
Hollywood has ruined far too
many bright bets by long waits, in
decisiveness and atrocious judg-
ment on stories. If you want spe-
cifc examples how about Susan
Hayward, Dennis Morgan, Robert
Young and-topping them aall-
Hedy Lamar?
Listen to almost any group OF
movie players these days as they
sit around awaiting completion of a
new deal on a studio set, new
deal" being that frequent period
during the day when lights and
camera are being lined up for a
reverse angle on a previous scene.

Humphrey Bogart and Mary As
tor were having a conversation OF
their own.
ITS the only life" Bogart was
saying. My wife and I lived there
the last three-four months, right on
our boat at Catalina. But we plan
to buy place in the valley and
build house when fall comes. I
want a spot with a garden. And a
lot of nice fruit trees"
A tall, snappy-eyed actor named
Jerome Cowan cut in.
Listen, don't go in for chickens, ~
he warned. I've got a lot of 'em,
300 or more And it doesn't make
sense, selling eggs wholesale and
having to buy feed at retail prices.
l mix my own scratch now. Save
about a dime a hundred over what
I used to pay. But you've got the
right idea on those fruit trees,
Bogey. Get just enough to set the
house off right"
From one stage to another we
move-and the conversation runs
much the same. Hollywood is think
