Rumors have said that Mary was demanding >700,000 for the place. This isn’t so. It could be had for between $400,000 and $500,000. The star would be willing to sell the furnishings, too. With a few exceptions. You can’t just go up to a real estate man and say “show me Pickfair”, though. Mary's business advisers want proof in advance that a prospective buyer is serious and has the means to swing the deal. Answering Your Questions! Ronnie C., Boston: Alice Faye and Gypsy Rose Lee were supposed to be feuding a while back, but they are exchanging gifts now. Zanuck’s ambition, they say, is to make Shirley Temple the first child star to stay on the screen through that gawky age. The shrewd showman of Twentieth Pentury-Fox is buying stories with this in view and plans to surround the star with important supporting casts. “Wee Willie Winkle” is a feeler in this direction. Shirley discards a lot of her cute little tricks in the picture and goes in for acting. Public reaction will be eagerly awaited. Chatter. . . . Joy Hodges was telling the world at the Joe Penner party that she is in love with Jackson Wheeler, of Penner’s radio program. . . . And Wheeler was fervently returning the compliment. . . . Incidentally, Joy gets a terrific break in the fall. She has been signed to play George M. Cohan’s daughter in the Sam Harris show. “Hold Your Hats, Boys”. ... Kent Taylor broke two ribs Saturday night in a film fight for the Universal picture, “The Lady Fights Back”. It was no lady who gave him the injury, however, but a 200-pounder, Joe Sawyer. . . .
