STEVENSON STORY SCHEDULED AT CIRCLE

‘Fight’ Film Scheduled

Carole Lombard Due for | Another Mauling in "Nothing Sacred.’

By JAMES THRASHER

At the stroke of midnight divid- | ing tomorrow from Thanksgiving Dav, Loew's will present the cinema | “Battle of the Century” in a special |

public preview. Principals will be Carole Lombard, 5 feet 2, 112 pounds and—in this corner, ladies and gentlemen—Fredric March, 6 feet, 170 pounds. Matchmaker David O. Selznick, who included the bout in his picture, “Nothing Sacred.” says the fight will go to a finish. Director William Wellman will be the third man in the ring, or rather, in the hotel-room set where the clouting takes place. Apparently there will be no holds barred. and the Marauis of Queensbury's ghost has been banished from the sound stage. Punches and flower vases | will be thrown. Wrestling will be permitted, and clinches left unbroken. What's more. there is to be no retiring to neutral corners to | wait for the count. Everything | goes until Referee Wellman says | “Cut!” Toughest of Career

This fight, says the lighter of the contestants, is the toughest one in her career. And Miss Lombard | should know, for if ever a glamour girl was hammered, she's it. Miss Lombard is a graduate of the | Mack Sennett training camp, where | she was catching custard pies as a | voungster fresh out of Indiana. Up | through a series of melodramas she | kept in fighting trim, and when the | big chance came, she was ready. For instance, one of her early fea-ture-length maulings took place in | “Love Before Breakfast,” where she | squared off with Preston Foster and | came up with a black eye. In| “Twentieth Century” she was kicked | by John Barrymore. Pat O’Brien | knocked her cold in a little opus | called “Virtue.” |

will come . to the Circle Thanksgiving Day in an all-color film version. Stars of the production are shown above. Left to right, they are Frances

Causes for Breakdown

There were a dozen possible reasons for his breakdown: An early accident to his head and chest thai was blamed on jealous rivals: the! nervous strain of constant rehear- | sals; his distress at war conditions: | his internment in a concentration | camp.
