At.that time it was said the difference in the earning power of the two- film youngsters, with Betty on the upgrade and Jackie almost a “hasbeen,” was reponsiblée. There was a

KISSED SHIRLEY, BACK IN MOVIES

HOLLYWOOD, 0D, July 26. —Gene Butler, the first boy to kiss Shirley Temple, will make a belated second debut soon in “The Spellbinder.” Gene, who is now 10 years old, played opposite Shirley when he was about 3 in a short called “What Price Glory.” His father is an oil millionaire and. he has been out of pictures since. He made 10 films with Miss Temple for ,Educationpl

fessional stage appearance at thel: same time. The “Link-Belt Four” a quartet, is also on the program. The finals in the “Miss Indianapolis” contest will be held Aug. 9. The winner will eompste Aug. 11-13 for the title of “Miss Indiana,” who will jwe given a trip to Hollywood and other prizes. °

. People: who know him say he has that nervous energy and his work attests to lots of ideas from the large head. Mr. Kanin, from what the boys. in the know out Hollywood way say, is | definitely “in” and it doesn’t make much difference if he turns up with la couple of flops. The chances are that he won't do that, anyway. He's had four pictures. The first onle was a story called “Failure.” It turned out to be “A Man to Remember.”

he asked Mr. Goldwyn to please give him something to do. He says he never realized how profound “Boy Meets Girl” was until he got to Hollywood. Mr. Goldwyn fired him. He said he was too ambitious. The young man went to Radio Pictures and asked for a job. His only stipulation was that he was to get a picture to work on within three months. They assigned him to a “Western” but took him off it right away when they found he didn't know what it meant to “fan” a gun. One day, Dalton Trumbo, a writer, mentioned this story called “Failure” and Mr. Kanin was so interested they stayed up until 3 a. m. talking about it. He got the assignment. A cast of unknowns was assembled, Mr. Kaninn was put to work, and he brought it in for $119,000. From then on out, as they say, he was in.
