Glamour Girl and Shrewd Businesswoman
Rita Haywos Loves of Carmen May Make Her Highest

Rita Hayworth expects to gross
between $4,000 900 and $1,000. 900 on
her latest picture, The Loves of
Carmen That will make her the
highest paid performer in Holly
wood-or anywhere. Carmen" is
the first of Rita's own Beckworth
Productions, and il the others are
going to do as we'll Rita will be the
richest girl in the world.
| It's always amazing to me-the
difference in the flashing, passion
ate, tempestuous, witty Rita on the
screen, and the quiet, calm, con-
versation-less but still passionate
Hayworth of real life They are two
different people except for the pas
sion.
Rita runs her business life with
the shrewdness of J. P. Morgan
or Henry Ford. Even in private
life, she does all right with a mini
mum of conversation and a max
imum talent for getting her name
in the papers. When she does talk,

OF Course She'll Wed.
| For instance, she parties ques-

Why, Sheilah, of course I hope to
marry again. Every girl wants a
happy married life with a good
husband and children. But I just
haven't found the right man yet"
And yet Rita, now veering to-
ward the 30-year-old mark, has met

There's a Lot
In the Name
of a Film
By Bob Thomos
HOLLYWOOD

WN1D.
Here is an addition to Hollywood's
many troubles-the movie industry
Is running low on titles. .F
It's not so bad that studios are
releasing titleless pictures. But the
problem Of tagging handles onto
movies is becoming a bigger head
ache every day.
From 1916 to 1s47, Hollywood used
up 2l,458 feature picture titles and
Few OF them were repeats. Four
hundred or more new ones are added
to the total as each year passes. And
every studio is allowed to keep $50
titles In reserve for forthcoming
pictures. Past names of films can
be used only after they are seven
years old.
Change Helped.
The majority of film customers
judge whether they want to see a
picture by ID its stars, t2) its title.
That's why the right title is so i'm
portant in these days OF slow
business.
The all-star "a Miracle Can Hap
pen" topped because people thought
it was a religious film. Given a
lighter tag, "On Our Merry Way" it
Jared better.
Likewise Goldwyn's THE Bishops
Wife" 1t was later billed as Cary
and the Bishops Wife" with the
ads slanted at comedy. 1t did better
that way-"but think how much it
would have made if it had a good
title" lamented Sam.
Titles Get Vague.
The increased Importance and the
decreased availability of titles has
studios going mad. Pictures are
released with names as vague as
Street With No Name" and as silly
as Il Wouldn't Be in Your s'~nes."
Titles are getting shorter (Rope,"
"SandO and longer ("When MY
Baby Smiles at Me" THE Best
Things in Life Are Free'D.
Typical of the harried studio ex-
ecutives Is Frank Cleaver, Para
mounts story editor. Il spend many
hours every week worrying about
titles" he sighs. I'VE have many
meetings about them and run con-
tests for suggestions from employees.
In the end, the New York office
makes the decision on a title; they
have to sell the picture"

Sarvis Subdivision Map
Approved By Town Board

A map showing streets and
general layout of the Sarvis SUBJ
division was approved by the
Tabor City town board at its
monthly meeting Tuesday night
at the city hall.
The proposed subdivision will
cover property on both sides of
the Green Sea highway from
Sarvis Court, at the state line,
back to the intersection of the
highway with Lewis streets. All
but one or two of the streets of
the subdivision are laid off for
50-foot widths.
The council voted to hold .
special meeting Wednesday Of
next week to consider revision
of present privilege license
taxes. Adoption of a new priv
ileqe license tax ordinance is
expected at the regular June
meeting.
Fire Chief Frank Young ap-
peared before the board as a
spokesman for the volunteer
firemen, who requested that the
town grant members of the de-
partment free water rent.
Firemen now get a flat SAL
airy of $1.25 a month, with
nothing extra for answering
calls.
The matter was discussed at
length and the board members
seemed to agree on the fact that
they had rather raise the salary
of the firemen rather than adopt
the water rent proposal No
final action was taken.
The board also discussed, but
took no action, on the subject
of automobiles following the
fire truck too closely and on
the possibility of arranging the
present three fire alarm boxes
so that each will give a different
signal on the siren.
The board approved spraying
of the town in the health depart
ment's mosquito campaign-the
cost to be borne by household
ers.
