aVICLX A DIUbliClB picture. “A Day at the Races”. Scenarist AI Boasberg is demanding that M. G. M remove his name from the author’s credits on the story. Writer Boasberg is sure the picture will be a hit, but is Burned because he hears that two other see-

narists also will be mentioned on the screen. With a writer’s spot on the Jack Benny program and with more radio offers than he can accept, Boasberg is telling friends he doesn't care if he ever works for the movies again. That there’s more money in radio and less work. The fact of the matter is the air sponsors are raiding Hollywood just like Hollywood once did the stage. Comedy writers of standing can double and triple their film salaries by taking on a couple of programs a week. After two years of suffering with a bad appendix, Rosalind Marquis, Warner starlet, is to have it out. She’ll go to Chicago for the operation, so she can be with her folks. Reading of the death of an actor following the explosion on a bomb on the Universal back lot, many Los Angeles citizens learned for the first time that a miniature war is being staged for the picture, “The Road Back”. But the war is not news to the residents of Tolucca lake, whose slumbers have been disturbed by the firing of other bombs and by the rattle of machine gun fire. Police have received a number of complaints, but can’t do anything about it The noise of a movie bomb exploding is considered legally in the same category as a locomotive whistle —not an inexcusable nuisance.

Anita Louise’s mother, Mrs. Ann Beresford, is writing a Hollywood play based on some of Anita’s early experiences in the movies.
