With al. her successes, Betty feels
that she should do better work on
both stage and screen than she has
done so far--and she Is 10 earnest
about acting that she probably will.
IN discussing her shift from stage
TO screen technique, she said mod
estly. Il don't think I've made the
transition a. well as should, yet"
Betty likes her occasional stays In
Hollywood, but she prefers New

You have to be q success to get

plant. 1t never occurred to them
that some time soon they would
have to get Maisie out Of that de-
fense plant. They awoke to discov-
e. that the Government had frozen
the lady to her job-and the next
picture called for her to 60 to Reno.
It Takes Genius, See.
One smart writer came through
with the answer. Maisie had been
working hard and long. She needed
a vacation. She would have to de-
velop some sort of a nervous disor-
der and then plant doctor could
send her on her way. Thus in the
first reel of "Maisie Goes to Reno
the heroine develops an eye twitch
which explains to the satisfaction
Of all how Maisie can leave a war

"The Thin, Man" almost passed
out Of existence three years ago
when Myrna 10y, the Nora for Will
liam Powell's Nick. suddenly picked
herself a new husband and fed to
New York, announcing at the same
time that she would leave Hollywood
behind forever. Periodically and
sporadically, MGM tested other ac-
tresses for the role of Nora, but
nothing ever happened. Meanwhile

CHICAGO.


Chicago theatergoers got two sur
prises this week at the opening of
Harold j. Kennedy's new show, "A
Goose for the Gander," starring
Gloria Swanson in her flrst Chicago
stage role, Tuesday night at the
Blackstone Theater.
They found Miss Swanson as ex-
citing now as she was in Male
and Female" "zaza," "Bluebeard's
Eighth Wife," and many other Hol-
lywood films. And they discovered
a reasonably good playwright also
can be a reasonably good actor.
Although Kennedy has appeared
before as an actor and as a director,
this was his first play. 1t was about
how the eternal triangle can have
six sides and end up with the hus-
band and wife together instead of
asunder.
Ralph Forbes is thoroughly COM
petent in the role of Miss Swanson's s
husband. Lynn Carter, the "other
woman" in the hexagon, played
Suzy, f1oozy with an impossible
Southern accent-just q little girl
from the north who decided it was
better to be dumb and Southern
than Just dumb.
The role of q razor-witted 4-F
with high blood pressure and an
even higher regard for Forbes
spouse is that of Kennedy. Others

so simply solved in the case Of the
"Maisie" adventures. Maisie has
traipsed all over from the Congo to
Reno. And Nick and Nora Charles
of The Thin Man" are apt to be
found in the strangest places.
Take one "Maisie" film in par
ticular, Swing Shift Maisie," which
went into production at a time when
rationing hit a high peak, with
sugar, coffee and meat all on the
list. With everything ready to roll,
writers had to make some quick
shifts. Here is some Of the revised

weren't 30 bad after all. She and
Powell have just finished their sew
enth co-starring venture Of the Sc
ries, "The Thin Man Goes Home"
There were plenty Of troublesome
details to be ironed out in the new
script before q start could be made.
The matter of Nick Charles, IT,, in
troduced as an 8-month-old infant,
IN the previous picture, was most
important. Seems there was no
place In the current script for little
Nickie to be roaming around; in
fact, his presence would complicate
the plot. How to get rid OF the child
without making Nick and Nora look
like a couple of heels was q matter
threshed out for weeks by the
writers. Finally, somebody thought
about school. So, in the new film
when some one asks Nora about the
little fellow, she explains with a
ring Of maternal pride that Nickie
is so crazy about school that they
wouldn't think of taking him away
in the middle Of a semester. And

Gillespie Series Limpinx.
At one time, shortly after the as
cent of the Hardys every studio in
Hollywood had one or two series
adventures going at top speed. Most
OF them were ripe money-makers,
too. One near-casualty Of the war
was the DR.. Gillespie numbers. They
have been limping along under vari-
Gus titles, but 1t Is admitted that
they never have had the same con-
sistent pull that they did before Lew
Ayres went into the Army and left
DR.. Gillespie without a permanent
assistant. Yanking out Laraine Day,
a strong favorite as Nurse Mary
Lamont, had its sour effect also.
When the Japs pounced on Pearl
Harbor they automatically killed Oh
the very successful Charlie Chan
detective thrillers, which had q
longer record than any other series
They outdated the Hardys by 1o
years. Although Sidney Toler. who
succeeded the late Warner GLAND in
the role Of Chan, was actually q Chi
nese hero in the plot, the fans
wouldn't stand for this series after
war began. The characters and
atmosphere were too suggestive of
the NipS. So, out the window went

been treated to an experimental re-
vival by one Of the smaller lots.

Broadway producers no longer
register loud beefs about Hollywood
their esthetic qualms, complaints
about censors and other general
yips have been drowned in q won
derful sea Of black ink and green
backs.
Max Gordon, for instance, q cagy
Broadway producer with a sharp eye
for business, Is credited with two Of
the years fancier deals. His Junior
Miss" was sold to Warner Bros. for
$425, 900. It originally cost but $15.-
600 to produce!
Gordon's other hit, "Over 81"
which closed last week after q sue
cessful run, cost 10000 to produce
and brought $3.50 900 from Columbia
Pictures for the screen rights, and
without undue haggling. Other stu
dios were waiting If Columbia didn't
want it.
Notable screen prices paid for
