John Van Druten To
Prepare Screenplay
For Crosby Starrer

HOLLYWOOD - Paramount
recently scheduled for forth
coming production as Bing
Crosby picture the well known
story Famous by the late
Stephen Vincent Benet and sign
ed the prominent playwright,
John Van Druten, to write the
Screenplay.
1t was announced at the same
time that Charles Bracket will
produce this picture, which the
studio considers one of the most
important of Crosby vehicles.
The Benet story, regarded as a
masterpiece, provides Crosby
with the role of a successful
composer of Broadway musicals,
a natural" for his talents.
Famous" is the first screen
assignment Van Druten has ac-
cepted in several years. A top
playwright for over two de-
cades, he is, of course, known
for the smash Broadway hits
THE Voice of the Turtle" and
Il Remember Mama" /" and many
others.

The Hollywood
Depression - Real
or Phony?

For the year 1943 seven major
film companies report a clear
net profit of S63 900, ,000-high-
er than any year except 1946
and 1947 when price control and
peak employment allowed the
average American to spend a
few more dollars for entertain
ment.
q The 1949 trend is sharply up.
Says a big Variety headline:
pix Biz in '49 Topping '48"
Says Barney Balaban, head of
Paramount: AS a matter of fact,
attendance at American movies
throughout the world is not
very far behind the record
breaking year of 1916"
Then why the hard times in
Hollywood? Why are 9,977 film
workers registered for state un-
employment insurance?
l 1t is a synthetic stage set
ting or an all-out attack on the
wage structure of Hollywood S
guilds and unions. These organ
izationS were once a spearhead
of strength for American labor
They have been weakened by
fomented disSensio and company
union infiltration. If they can be
further emasculated, if their
wage standards can be torn
down, it will be a powerful op-
ening wedge for the attack on
all organized labor living stand
ards.
2 The studio campaign of fear
has already forced sharply
downward the talent pay stand
ards of writer's, actors, directors
and producers, thus shortchang-
ing creative talent in favor OF
bigger front office profits. Varie-
ty tells the story in this head
line: Pix Crack Whip on Talent
Coin"
3. 1t works squeeze play or
the small independent pro
ducers; the highly exploited
Hollywood panic has made the
financing of independent movie
production almost impossible
and strengthened monopoly con.
troll of the industry.
4. The super-induced hare
times in Hollywood have made
the American public softer
touch for the reissue racket. A
reissue is an old picture taker
from the shelf busted off, some
times provided with a new title
and unloaded upon the Ameri
can public.
Approximately 35 percent o.
current exhibition is made up o.
reissues.

haircuts until She completes
her role i'm "QuO Vadis"
AS the Christian slave
girl, Lygia, in the Techni-
color production, the young
actress is supposed to have
hair that hangs to her
waist.
For the past six months
Miss Taylor has favored a
short style coiffure and has
had it cut regularly each
week.
Since "QuO Vadis,"
which goes before the cam
eraS in late June, is ex-
pected to be in production
four months, it will be some
time before the actress
visits a barber again.

Shakespeare.
Residents of Hollywood and
Beverly Hills, however, who
have seen the actress step from
her convertible and go shopping
in her stocking feet are ready to
believe anything about Miss
Main. For in a community where
inventive genius often takes
weird and unsuspected forms,
she has capitalized on her repu-
tation for being different"
CraZy-Like a Fox!
The former Broadway actress
has found it pays to appear diff
ferent, such as the time she
cheerfully agreed to a story put
out about her. A flu epidemic
had hit the film capital. Miss
Main, the story read, was pre-
pared. She was staying at home,
doors and windows closed. Now
let those fool germs get at her!
A similar story, also at Miss
Mains expense, told of her new
Palm Springs home. At the
house warming, so the story
went, hot water faucets gave out
gas, the door bell turned on the
radio, and anyone foolhardy E.
nough to turn on the kitchen
stove saw water gushing from
the burners.
She did, on the other hand,
put her foot down on proposal
to rename the street where her
house is situated. Some bright
boy suggested it be called Main
Street. Sounded fine, Marjorie
agreed, but whoever heard OF a
Main Street which finished up
in a dead end-and in the des-
ert, at that!
Few people, outside her i'm
mediate friends, are aware that
her marriage to the late DR..
Stanley Krebs, celebrated au-
thor and lecturer, was the key
stone of her life. When she
screams cave-Woman annoyance
at Wallace Beery, as she does In
their new M-G-M film, Big
Jack" it is hard to picture her
holding a group spellbound with
recitations of semi-religious and
philosophical poems. They were
written by her husband, and
she plans to publish them some
day.
Prior to her marriage in 1920,
she had played nothing but
straight dramatic roles. She re-
tired, accompanying her hus-
band wherever his lecture tours
took him. On his death, Miss
Main was urged to return to the
stage. She followed one hit with
another. Her personal triumph
in Dead End" resulted in Hol,
lywood offers, and because OF
that role she became INSOFAR
ably associated with loudmouth
characterizations.
