By HAKIUMiN <ARKOIX C.pyWykt, ISIS kiss Frstarea Mysdlrats, tar. HOLLYWOOD—OnIy a handful of people have known It until now but George Bancroft went into M-G-Ms "Young Tom Edison"

against the advice of doctors and only a few •toys after having a cyst removed from his back. The veteran star was supposed to stay a week in the hospital. Added scenes on a Universal pI cture postponed

the surgery until just before Bancroft was supposed to assume his role as Mickey I Rooney's father. Instead of a week, the star ■ stayed in the hospital for 4S hours During his lunch hour at M-G-M ' the other day, he went back and I had 12 stitches removed. Current repott Is that Marjorie Weaver has broken her engagement to Naval Lieutenant Kenneth Bchacht and has sent back his ring. The romance of thia pair always has been shrouded in mystery and you never know what to believe. Marjorie Insists there's been no' rift. Schacht is on a United States ’ submarine at Manila and won't be . back to this country for two or' three years. "1 did return his ring to the jewcler," she says. "But only because it was about a carat bigger than I thought he should buy. I didn't want him spending all that money." Sonja Henle has borrowed William Webster fiom Twentieth Cen- . tury-Fox to go ahead of her on het I tour. Webster is the ice expert who sees to It that the star has 1 the proper surface to skate on in her pictures. I-ast year, when Sonja arrived in Houston, the ice in the rink wasn't frozen hard enough to rehearse on. They got it ready in time for the performance by dumping two tons of < rushed ice on the surface and thin freezing the water over that. However, by the final number In the show, she aays the company was skating in slush. Relatives of George Sanders in i England are taking no chances or air raids They have shipped all the family heirlooms to Banders who has insured them and put

Her husband, Joe Cawthome. was so tickled over her getting a part with Ginger Rogers In "The Primrose Path" that he grabbed her up in his arms when she relumed from the studio. "Queente," he said, "this Is a big day in our lives. We are going to celebrate.” Whereupon, he slipped and fell, breaking his kneecap. He will be in bed for several weeks. The Bob Hopes really went In for a family Thanksgiving. They entertained Bob's aunt and uncle from Cleveland, hia two brothers from New York and Mrs. Hope's sister, brother-in-law and baby. If you want to get Joan Crawford's goat, ask her about the time when she left her chauffeur at home and drove her station wagon to the studio. At ftepuiveda and Santa Monica boulevards, the accelerator got jammed and the star, too excited to step on the clutch pedal or turn off the ignition. went through a red signal and almost bowled over a dog and two pedestrians. The United States government really is co-operating with M-G-M ’on that counterfeiting short They J even are lending the studio a phoney plate for
