plays-such as his first one with
Dolly Haas, "The Circle Of Chalk;
two Van Druten plays, one, THE
Damask Cheek" with Flora Robson
land the other The Rock" with Billie
Burke-and most Of the English
accent was pruned away.
When Jack Warner spotted him
in Those Endearing Young
Charms" and signed him for his
first film role, THE Mask OF
Dmitrios," he'd achieved his present
distinctive speech.
u Worked In Oil Fields.
In Austin, Scott did some little
theater directing He also worked as
an oil rigger, later In a laboratory
for an oil company. He completed
three years at the University of
Texas before going to England to
study acting. His wife, who accom-
panied him to Broadway both times,
was stage manager of Oklahoma,
but gave up the job to come to
Hollywood and make a home for
zack and their 8-year-old daughter,
Waverly.
Zack has way of making deep
friends easily Alfred Lunt and Rich

him on Broadway In his first film,
he made enduring friends Of two
sinister gentlemen, Peter LORE and
Sydney Greenstreet, who, he says,
helped him adapt his stage tech

Regarded as a highly valuable

for three important new roles: OPP

surely will have among them: Van
Johnson, Bogart, Ingrid Bergman,
Margaret O'Brien, Greer Carson.
Walter Pidgeon, Judy Garland and
Claudette Colbert. 1 wouldn't be
surprised if Van johnson tops them.
His rise in pictures Is almost as
phenomenal as Shirley Temples.
And Van has backed 1t with hard
work-he has made more pictures in
two years-18-than some stars do
in 10. I predict that at the end of
l945 and 46 and At, Van will still be
minus a bride. And 1 also doubt
whether Clark Gable remarries in
l945. When the gossips linked his
name too frequently with blond Kay
Williams. Clark killed the rumors by
cutting his dates with Kay. The girl
who follows Carole Lombard as Mrs,
Gable will have to be good. But
Clark, now that he has returned to
civilian life, is lonely So you never
can tell.
Constance Bennett becomes
producer in 1945. 1 predict she will
be more successful as q producer
than she was and is as an actress.
And this is not as obvious as it
seems.
I predict that Bing Crosby will win
the Academy Award in l945 for his
acting u944) in Going My Way"
with Barry Fitzgerald getting the
Oscar for the best supporting role
in the same picture. Actually, they
should share first place for it. I
think Ingrid Bergman will-or
should-get first feminine place.
She has given an Academy caliber
performance in every picture she
has made in Hollywood and it's
time they gave her the statuette
And here's long-range prediction
for 1916: Ray Milland will receive
the l945 award for his drunk" in
The Lost Week End" He's almost
too good to be untrue. Which is
high praise, because in private life
Rays drinking is on the moderate
side.
Comeback for Olivia.
Olivia De Havilland will have q
great comeback in pictures next
yCdi OIlc Ids UetIl OH ll1e screen
one whole year which is much toe
long for that good little actress
! Olivia's winning fight Ito include
the time a player is suspended in
the contract should help to make
future films better. A studio will
think twice before asking good
player to appear in dud films. In
the days before Olivia's fight, they
just put him or her on suspension
and lost nothing because the player
was not paid and the time out was
added to the length Of the contract
Now, the time out is included. So
mark my prediction, producers will
be giving stars better scripts, because
they are not usually. people who cut
off their noses to spite their faces
Hats off to Olivia. She took a big
chance-of film suicide-when she
went to court with her case. I'm
glad she won
And here's prediction for 1945
that is really prayer. The war
in Europe will be over in 1945. And
the Jap war soon to follow. Amen.

Scott believes in the natural school

preclude their return to America

the war in Europe does not end in

While the critical response to the

HOLLY WOOD.
It's fun predicting. When you're
right. you can always say Il told
you sol" When you're wrong, you
can always keep quiet. So here I
go on a 1945 prediction bender
And if you want to trip me, keep
this column until the end of next
year and count the hits and errors
Cary Grant is said to have prom
ised his Barbara that from now on
he would live her way of life-travel
see people and generally lead the
life OF a rich couple in society, with
picture making in the secondary
role. I predict that if Cary really
tries to do this, his 1914 reconcilia-
ton will end in l945 divorce. Cary
just isn't that sort of guy. He likes
making pictures. He does not like
parties and travel I think that il
Barbara puts her husband and his
work first, they can be happy. 1945
will tell the answer.
l predict that Enrol Flynn will
emerge as successful author in
1945-I mean the best selling kind.
He has suffered the tortures of au-
thorhood, groaning and swearing for
the right words and the right situa-
tions for his forthcoming novel with
its. South Sea background. And for
once. the f1ippant Flynn is absolute
ly serious. The boy who earns $1,000
week by fighting mock battles and
playing heroics on celluloid says he
will give it all up when once he
hits the right formula in novel
writing. l945 will tell the story.
A Wedding for Bette.
AS sure as anything can be in
Hollywood is the prediction that
Bette Davis will be married woman
in 1945. 1T may happen before
/ them And the man. of course. is
that Corpl. L. Riley. Bettes beau OF
1914. Another star who probably
will be a Mrs. before the end OF
1945 is judy Garland Judy is not
the chaser-around type. She's a
home girl. She has denied mar
riage plans with Director Vincente
Minnelli. If it isn't he. some othe,
lucky guy will be slipping the wed
ding band on the Garland finger.
How about Deanna Durbin? Most
of us, including this columnist. hac
her getting married to Robert Lam
dry in 1914. So I could be just as
wrong in my prediction for 1945
She always has told me that she
would not marry again for another
four years. She usually means what
she says and she is not easily swept
off her feet. So unless she meets ur
with some fabulous character, nc
marriage for Deanna in 1945.
I predict that Humphrey Bogart
will be divorced in 1945. At time OF
! publication. he may have returned
to Mayo Methot. He left her a cou-
pie of time in 1944-and went back
He refused to discuss divorce plans
when I saw him last but his manner
indicated that he was quite through
with his present marriage, and re-
! gardless of expedient reconciliati tions
he wants to be free. He will have a
hard time getting that divorce unless
Mayo's attitude changes. But I think
he'll get it.
