Seven months ago Marie Wilson

wood to handle her for motion
pictures. She was washed up on
the screen-flnished. The finish
ing process started in 1888 when
Marie. famous as a dumb blond.
starred in the movie version of
Boy Meets Girl" The picture
was a colossal flop and Marie's
picture career diminished until
she was less than a blot on the
consciences Of Hollywood pro-
ducers.
That's why I'll always be
grateful to Ken Murray" Marie
tells me at Romanoff's during
lunch. Before telling you what
else she says, must describe her
costume. AS far as the naked eye
can see, Marie is wearing a fame
colored, wide skirt and no more
than 4 inches of the same ma
terial above the waist. The rest
Is Marie's white skin. 1t Is the

She Makes Big Deal.
Anyway to get back to the be-

will gladly pay $50,000 to star
Marie in a picture. Hal Wallis

himself, without a lot of persua-

The day that Betty Hutton was

Director Fritz Lang is still the
perfectionist.
He spent an hour and half
photographing a cockroach crawl
ing across q piece Of paper. just
to get a subtle touch he wanted
for one scene In his current pic
ture. And he put the property
department on its mettle by de-
manding, all of q sudden, an egg
cozy for another scene.

cap that keeps q soft-boiled egg

there is . happy medium. With

without belittling writers, he
maintains that little acts or ges-

"Ive always been afraid of Hal
Wallis" Marie tells me candidly-
she's the No. candid girl of
Hollywood. But he just sent me
a check for $400 to buy some
clothes for my New York personal
appearances in August and Sep
tember. OF course. my clothes will
come to much more than that and,
of course. I'm not being paid at
all except for my expenses. My
husband will have to pay all of
his expenses to come with me.
But it was nice of Mr.. Wallis,
wasn't it?"
Money Isn't Everything.
Marie's P. AS with the picture
and the interviews she will give
should add at least half a million
dollars to "Irma's" take. But
when Marie says, Money doesn't
mean too much to me-" she really
means it. She and hubby Allan

NEW YORK.

A desk. easel or piano in a
cramped studio will do for dram
atist, novelist. poet or composer,
but the poor choreographer must
have a whole stage to work on. all
his dancers to work with. and a
pianist as accompanist.
Dance steps can't be catalogued
or described. they have to be
danced. 1t takes the entire COM
pany to create a ballet, says Jerome
Robbins. who. having composed
for both sides of the fence, for
straight ballet and straight Broad
way, speaks with experience and
authority. His newest and biggest
theatrical venture. is the Robert E.
Sherwood Irving Berlin Moss Hart
production of Miss Liberty"
The black-haired. slender Rob-
bins at the moment is deeply
tanned by daily auto rides between
this city. his home, and Philadel-
phia, where the new show tried out
successfully. His first ballet, and
first hit, was one of the finest OF
modern numbers. Fancy Free"
from which came. along with
Leonard Bernstein's music. the
Broadway show "On the Town"
Hours Into Minutes.
For Fancy Free" Robbins wrote
detailed scenario running about
2, 900 words. From that Bernstein
wrote the music. Then with the
score and his own original overall
idea, aided by some personal
experimenting with the various
sailors gaits which help to give
the number its marked individ-
uality, Robbins went to work with
the required handful Of dancers.
For every minute of final dance,
he says, there are 10 to II hours
of creation and preparation.
A choreographer does all his
intimate creative work right out
in the public eye. He gets his
dancers in place. and starts them
of with kick. bow, wave or scrape
this way or that; If at first he
doesn't succeed. he tries. tries
again. He has to be thick-skinned
about the first failures. Experienced
dancers in his troupe sometimes
offer valuable suggestions.
Robbins just missed being cor
set manufacturer. chemist or
journalist. His father manufac-
tured corsets. He went to college
with chemical and Journalistic
aims. There was one child prodigy
already in the family, his older
sister, a dancer. About the time
she abandoned a career he, in
spired by her, took it up. He was

Marching On
In Theoter
by Mark Barron

Today 1t Is noticeable that
Broadway theatrical fare for the
forthcoming season is directed
more to classical subjects or to
non-current. controversial themes.
Note, for comparison. that the
newest arrival. Miss Liberty a
musical far removed from 1949.
deals with the year 1885.
After World War I 1t was
noticeable that Broadway produc-
ers were partial to revival Of
classics or hits Of the days just be-
fore 1914-15. 1t was several sea-
sons after the armistice before
audiences had composed them
selves enough to cheer such hits as
What Price Glory?" and Jour-
neys End"
Betting on Favorites.
SO 1t Is not surprising that
Broadway managers. in their pro-
grams for the new season. are fa-
voring subjects which have been
sure fire since drama began.
The producers have a good
springboard as an example in the
current long-run hit of the musi-
cal version Of "Charley's Aunt
with Ray Bolger. This has been
running with an atmosphere of
Elan and bulging box office since
October IL, 1948.
Katharine Hepburn will return
to Times Square in October in a
revival Of "As You Like It."
sheakespears also will contribute
tho revival Of "Othello," a
vehicle which will bring the
Negro actor. Canada Lee. back
to Broadway early in the fall
season. Brian Aherne. the British
actor. also is scheduled for this
one.
The Shuberts have . musical
biography with an ancient theme
scheduled. that of the italian
composer. Puccini. and 1t promises
much because Deems Taylor Is
adapting the score and Elliott
Paul is writing the libretto.
A Shaw Festival.
Other than Shakespeare. the
producers are turning back to
such an old-timer as that peren-
nial youngster, Bernard Shaw.
and will do a revival Of his
Caesar and Cleopatra" with Sir
Cedric Hardwicke and Lilli
Palmer in the leading roles.
Even Michael Todd, who usually
can assemble Broadway hit out
of Bobby Clark and q dozen
chorus girls (decorously and dis
tinctively disrobed) is reaching
into the files of ancient days for
material for his new show. At
the moment his plans have
clutched the opera. Aida" which
he Is rapidly Transforming into
the musical comedy, My Darlin'
Aida"
Todd is moving the scene OF
the classical musical version from
Memphis. Egypt. to the hep
modern-day scenes Of Memphis,
Tenn. Such q producers imagina-
ton is a capsule picture of what
is going to happen on Broadway
this coming season - they are
throwing the hour glass and sun
dial and magnetic clock into the
Nile, paying no attention to the
element of time.

Playing an understudy on the
Broadway stage is probably the
most frustrating Job that could be
imagined.
Existing amid oil that glamour
and knowing that there Is only
one in 1899 chances Of your going
on in place Of Mary Martin or Ray
Bolger must be the reason that
Ipsychiatrists find 50 many Of their
confessing patients among aspir-
ling actors and actresses.
Sometimes, 1t works out. The

One accepts the fact that there
could be no understudies for Al
fred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. for

nell or for Bobby Clark. II they
were unable to appear personally.
there would simply be the apology
announcement that there would

understudies or substitutes.
However, show business On

pertinent examples Of pinch hit
