Now Aims for
Stardom
By Bob Thomos

After all these years, Claire
Trevor has decided she wants to
be a star.
Claire has specialized in first
class supporting parts, such as those
In "Stasecoach." Dead End" and
Murder, MY Sweet" while taking
an occasional flyer at leading roles
This has been going on for IS years
and she now says she's aiming at
the top bracket.
Until now I always thought OF
the movies as a temporary arrange
ment," she explained on the Lucky
Stiff" set. Il had always thought
Of myself as a stage actress. But I
had a few filings at the stage and
I decided I like pictures better.
Nov that no longer feel tenn
porary in the movies, I want star
dom. Heretofore I never felt the
demands we're worth the advan-
tages. But 1 realize that's the only
way can get top roles, top direc-
tors and top cameramen."
Mack Sennett will be honored
with a dinner at the Masquers Club
this week. Frank Capra, Leo Nc
Carey, Harold Lloyd, Buster Kea-

the speakers. Hollywood's conscience

the Olney's closing attraction. That
was to have been the Olney's big
surprise finale, the one that has
been listed week after week in the
program as ito be announced"
The play was to have been
Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession" /"
and between 1t and Miss Hepburn,
there was little doubt that the
Olney's last week would have been
the years most sensational at the
boxofhce. Everybody. including
drama departments which remain
wisely aloof from such considera-
tions, was trying to figure what
closing boxofice with Miss Hepburn
would be. The total kept growing
until 1t was astronomical, but 1t
makes no difference now.
It was not Miss Hepburn's fault,
nor the Olney's fault that so much
of joyous anticipation turns so Bit
ter at the end. Technically, the
fault belongs to Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer. 1t has paid a high price
for first call on Miss Hepburn's
services, and 1t has exercised its
rights to call upon her. That was
not on the schedule when negotia-
tions between the Olney and the
actress began. She then had no
commitments to take her back to
Hollywood.
Now she has such a commitment
and the contemplated deal for Mrs.
Warren's Profession" is off.
AS the Olney program has been
saying all summer, the final attrac-
ton is still ito be announced"
The management is casting about
for the best available offering, but
1t will be a few days before its
heart is high again-and it never
will be Hepburn high, naturally.
Anyway, it was a fine, brave try!
A lot of people in show business
and their friends on the fringes Of
1t thought last week that they hao
come upon the most honestly named
corporation in the history of the
theater. The name was Gamble
Productions which is honestly
named, but not in the sense thai
every one was hoping.
Gamble Productions, the New

Nevertheless, they had better ust
