Haydn eats In every one OF his
scenes. Might sound like heaven
to some, but not to him!
They probably won't give Jerry
Buckley a chance to dance in 'Du
Barry Was a Lady,; probably won't
even know that she's a dancer. She's
gone to Hollywood with group of
fellow models, and if they have an
opportunity to do more than just
look pretty they'll be lucky. New
York models aren't very enthusiasts
tic about Hollywood any more; most
of them reuse to go. Even $500 a
week for three months or so doesn't
tempt them, since they may never
face a movie camera in that time,
and when they come home folks
think they just didn't make good.
Sounds strange, but here's what
we hear from Metro about an i'm
portant role in Katharine Hepburn's
picture, Keeper of the Flame" The
actor chosen will portray the stars
husband, and will appear in seven
important scenes before meeting
death in an accident. After that
he'll still be a key figure in the pic
ture. But-he'n never speak a
word. Swell chance to be paid for
keeping mum!
The latest addition to the new
crop of players recently signed by
Metro is william Bishop, nephew of
Helen Hayes. He's six feet two, with
dark brown hair and eyes, and has
won fame as a football player. He's
played in stock and in various stage
plays in New York; in two of them
he supported his famous aunt. He
has also appeared on her radio pro-
gram. A coming star, maybe.
Another newcomer to the screen
is Lenore ALBERT, chosen by Samuel
Goldwyn to play opposite Bob Hope
in "They Got Me Covered" Born
in Jugoslavia, daughter of a gen.
eral in the Austrian army in pre-
Hitler days, she worked in pictures
in Vienna. She was discovered by
a talent scout while appearing in a
play in Los Angeles. Goldwyn did
more testing for this role than he
has for any in several years. It's
a break for Miss Aubert-she has
been signed to a seven-year con-
tract.
