in the two pictures that were SUBJ
sequently made, she was referred
to as visiting in New York" The
first day that she came back to
work, she walked on the set with
her baby girl in her arms; shooting
couldn't start until every member
of the cast had held the infant.

'Here Comes Mr.. Jordan" which
a lot of people thought was the best
picture of 1941, is to have a sequel,
known at the moment as "Hellbent
for Mr.. Jordan" Let's hope that it
won't be as disappointing as sequels
usually are.
"Abie's Irish Rose" heard coast
to-coast over the NBC network ev-
cry Saturday, has been enacted in
every country in the world. The late
Will Rogers saw full production Of
the play in China, with Chinese
"Murphys" and 'Levys."
Edward G.. Robinson has sold his
home studio, Warner Bros, the idea
of starring him in "The Death of
Jim Cover" which was presented
on his "Big Town" radio program
recently; it deals with an idealistic
but drunken newspaper man.
A drop of water proved to be the
most temperamental factor" in the
cast of Columbia's ''The Adventures
of Martin Eden" the Jack London
classic. Representing a tear, the
drop of water required seven
"takes" to sizzle on a hot iron held
by Claire Trevor, the most "takes"
of any scene in the picture.
Ona Munson can't get rid of that
ink that's been pursuing her. Her
nose was broken when makeup
mask was being fitted to her at
Warner Bros; then she showed up
at the "Big Town" broadcast with
bandages on four fingers and one
leg, from injuries received while
she was making jungle picture at
Universal.
Virginia Payne, star Of radios
'Ma Perkins," declares that it's the
programs with the family back
ground that pay dividends. "Ma"
has been on the air for more than
$500 consecutive performances;
"Amos m Andy, Bachelors Chill
dren," "Pepper Young's Family
they all go on forever, seemingly.
They make stars, too; Don Ameche
and Tyrone Power are just two
who've graduated to Elm stardom
from them.
When he finished work as "Mr.
Cugat," Ray Midland left with Mrs.
Midland for a vacation at Sun Val
ley. Veronica Lake and her hus-
band also headed for Sun Valley,
when she finished ''This Gun for
Hire; two pairs of skis were fas-
tened to the top of their car. But
after few days of winter sports
they yearned for Florida; made the
trip in such a rush that, when they
reached Miami, the skis still rode
the car top. Passers-by stared,
thinking them slightly mad, or may
be just ignorant of the fact that
they were headed the wrong way.
