ABLE MAY BE FILMED
Seeing Anne Nichols. author az
the famed "Abie's Irish Rose
lunching at the Brown Derby with
Arthur Ungar made me wonder
why Hollywood doesn't film her
play again. Ii was a sensation
during the first World War and
did a land office business at the
box office. In the beginning the
Nichols play received bad notices

hurt II. II scared 10 big money
and success. Miss Nichols owns
the film rights. which reverted
back 10 her from Paramount, who
made a silent version. She has
had a number of film offers, but
hasn't decided whether 10 sell the
rights.

with the inscription Il love you,
given her by Al.
