Alice Faye of the blue eyes, the
husky voice and pretty legs, an
nounced her impending retirement
| from the screen today in favor Ct
staying home and minding the

they told me I was crazy. They
sound cameras, said she had three
good reasons for abandoning the
movies:
l-She wants to get acquainted
with her baby, which she chriSten-
cd Alice Faye Harris, Jr., a year
ago and has seen little Of since.
2-She hopes to sleep late CT
Eolning, wake up rested, and as
sOciate with Phil Harris, her band
leader husband, without swapping
81 him.
3-She's tired of playing in
Whoo-de-do musical movies, which
her bosses insist are the best things
she does.
Reason number three is most i'm
pogtant. Miss Faye at the moment
is appearing in technicolored

Behind She's Cf,e nearly

jobs in row
L know l am no great actress"
she said, but at least I can play in
a movie with, say plot about
hoy and a girl. And I don't think
that's asking too much. l wouldn't
mind some singing and dancing if
only there were a plot.
Il told the producers that I
wanted to quit these musicals and

said the song-and-dance pictures
were making money in large gobs,
that the people enjoyed them, and
that l ought to continue them. l
sale no more movies for me, unless
I get to make pictures with stories
attached.
$50 we agreed to disagree. No.
body's mad at anybody. I will go
under suspension, frienal' kind o.
suspension, and l won't be coming
back until and if I get to do some
pictures with drama in them"
Miss Faye said her contract with
Goth Century Fox had two more
years to run and that if she re-
fused to work at that studio, she
could work nowhere else.
Which is perfectly all right with
me-. she continued. when
woman loves her husband and her
child, she ought to get to spend
some time With them. And I think
II enjoy being housewife.
Alice, Jr, is a year old now and
cute as all get-out. She deserves
70 know her mother-and l think
her mother deserves to know her.
What I have in mind is just staying
