Of a major studio head in checking
over contract lists, salaries and

pointed out that virtually every
studio had been blessed this year
by sensational success in finding new

situation carried dark implications
for many of the old-timers.

continued, and he was referring, of
course, to Ginger Rogers, Claudette
Colbert, Rosalind Russell. Irene

been cutting a wide swath in the
independent financial market. These
stars now pick their own studios.
their own stories and casts, and
exercise other supervisors that
have grown irksome to studio bosses
And recently many top-line femi-
nine stars have joined the males
in attempting to operate their own

New teen-age girls continue to
click with almost every picture re-
leased. Most fortunate studio this
year has been Goth Century Fox.
