A Nice Name,
Betty Davis,

So the Newc0mer
Became Debra Keith
And Signed Contract
HOLLYWOOD

Betty Davis, pretty redhead from
Columbus. Ohio, arrived in Holly
wood four months ago determined
to carve niche for herself among
the better screen actresses.
She has youth Betty is 19). looks
and a solid background of dramatic
training. Five times in those four
months she was right at the point
of signing contract. But always
the studio man would say. "of
course. you must change your name" "
This Betty refused to DO and the
contract Immediately would dis
appear.
Last week the situation took a
drastic turn It was either a case
of changing that name or returning
to the folks in Columbus. Betty
sorrowfully decided on the former
After little study she hitched her
career cart to Debra (after an aunt

she was chosen by the New York
critics as the best woman performer
of 1912. And the folks here are very
impressed with New York opinion.
The boys in the supporting group
are Frank Morgan for "Tortilla
Flat" Henry Travers for Mrs. Min
lver," newcomer William Bendix in
Wake Island" Van Hef1in in
Johnny Eager" and Walter Huston
in Yankee Doodle Dandy" In my
opinion, Morgan should win. The
picture was not good, but he was.
The best direction award for the

Mrs. Miniver," or to John Farrow
for Wake Island"

Greer Carson was the star. Te-
resa Wright the supporting player
in Mrs Minived." Greer's per-
formance in this has won her the
academy nomination for the best
feminine starring role of the year.
Miss Wright is one of the five fe-
males nominated for the best sup
porting role Of the year-for her
work in the same picture. She also
is nominee in the star ranks for
her Mrs. Lou Gehrig in Pride of the

ord, to be I'D for the award in two
classes. At least it is an indication
of the speed of Teresa's jump from
supporting to starring roles.
But I still think Miss Carson
should win the Oscar. In all her
time in Hollywood Greer has made
only one bad picture, comedy with
Robert Taylor and Lew Ayres. Apart
from this, she has gained nomina-

Gene. When he learned he had
staged his own routnes, Rose
sounded out Kelly for the job of
handling dances in his Second Dia-
mond Horseshoe.
Gene leaped at the chance. He
worked with such stage greats as
Eddie Leonard, Blanche Ring, Har-
Ian Dixon, Gilda Grey and Julian
Eltinge.
While Kelly was polishing up the
Second Diamond Horseshoe, John
OEara's brittle Pal joey" stories
were being put into play form. The
main character was a brilliantined
Sharpie with a cynical, acid -limneo
outlook on life. He had to be a
dancer as we'll as actor. and Gene
was suggested for the part.
Producer George Abbott was charv
about handling comparative tyro
a starring role, but he finally gave in.
Pal joey" was a sensation and
Kelly was boosted to stardom lit
orally overnight. After playing A
hard-eyed heel for over year
Gene turned hitherto reluctant ear
toward HOLLYWOOD He had been
listening to film offers regularly. but
-! didn't think I was ready for
pictures just them he says.
Only After PAY Joey
When pal joey closed, Gene
signed contract with Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer. After few weeks time
out to direct dances for George
Abbott's subsequent hit, Best Foot
Forward" he showed off for the
coast with his bride, Betsy Blair.
Gene went before cameras the
DAY he checked in at M-G-M. He
was to play opposite Judy Garland
and George Murphy in For Me
and Ny Gal"
Gene Kelly hasn't had a moments
rest between pictures since then.
Gene is no glamor bOy. He's an
eoony-hared, even-tempered hoofer
whose ever-twinkling eyes close
completely when he laughs. He has
a small scar on his left cheek which
he refuses to hide. "Whv should
Il? he shrugs. I'm no Adonis."
In Pilot No. S" Gene portravs q
oeVll-may-care Italian flyer. In the
Iechnlcolor musical, "Du Barry Was
Lady" Gene plays a warm-hearted
song plugger who wins Lucille Ball
at the fadeout. In Private Miss
Jones' another Technicolor comedy
Gene is enaCting a smart-aleck
trapeze performer who gets caught
IN the draft. His next role will be
opposite Lana Turner in MARRIAGE
Is a Private Affair" and Gene will
portray a husband whose idealistic
marriage totters in the face of real
tiles.
Gene and his family live quietly
in a modest Beverly Hills home
During the filming of "Du Barry
Was a Lady" Gene passed out cigars
at the birth Of his first baby.
Although his career includes dra-
matics, Gene is still absorbed in his
dancing. Each picture features at
least one routine and Kelly is hap
pest while rehearsing it.

and Gown shows. These produc-
tions were usually staged by we'll
known New York dance directors,
but one year none was available.
Gene was asked to take over-the
first time a professional theatrical
personality had not directed the
show. His effort was successful and
for the next five years he guided
every show.
After leaving the university with
his degree, Gene decided to con-
tinue as dancing teacher and di-
rector. His school had branched
out to include unit in Johnstown
and his family as helping in the
enterprise Gathering together a
group of his most talented pupils,
Gene toured the local mining
towns and played numerous charity
and benefit shows.
Unearthed by Saroyan.
When Kelly decided to leave his
two schools and take a crack at
New York, he had no thought of
appearing on the stage himself,
He wanted to be a dance director
and he knew it wouldn't be easy.
The only way to gain foothold,
he decided, was to try for small
part. in a show.
Genes first stage role was bit in
the musical, Leave 1t to Me This
was followed by "One for the
Money" in which he both sang and
danced When the show folded,
Gene played summer stock in West
port, Conn. Returning to Broad
way. he met William Soroyan and
the two became fast friends Saro-
yam was casting Time of Your

Gets Temporary
Reprieve from
Heavy Alimony

After paying nearly $4,000
in alimony for the past II years
TO his first wife, 53-year-old
Hale l.. Clark, Detroit resident,
was granted a three-month sus-
pension of alimony payments on
Wednesday by Circuit Judge
Neil E. Reid, on a doctors tes-
timony that he had heart
trouble, has to work on limit
ed schedule, and therefore hasn't
as high an income as previous
ly.
But that decision still does
not stop the alimony payments
of $50 per month 10 his second
wife!
Clark was divorced from his
first wife, Mary, in July, 1926.
He has been paying her 500 a
month alimony until the present
time. Since his initial plunge,
however, he has been married
two more times, paying $50 a
month in alimony 10 his second
spouse, and living with his third
wife. He is employed by the
