She's Queen Of Thriller

Frances Gifford Suffers «14 Fates in Serial. By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN

United Press Hollywood Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, April 18—In a permanent wave and a pair of buckskin shorts (which zippered up the front) Miss Frances Gifford today stepped into the shoes of Pearl White and Ruth Roland and became the first cinema serial queen in 25 years. It was movie-making at its wild-est-eyed—and most profitable—with Miss Gifford standing to earn her employers better than $1,000,000 by suffering 14 fates worse than death. In the 15th and final instalment she falls in the arms of Hero Tom Neal. Fadeout, with dead savages littering the countryside and the light of love kindling in Miss G’s big, blue eyes. It’s a Long Script

Five hard-working scenarists labored for months to produce a script about the size of the Manhattan telephone directory, which does these things to the badly bruised heroine: 1. Traps her in a flooded tunnel.

AROUND HOLLYWOOD, the filniland parrots are telling this gag about Preston Sturges, the director with the screwball hats: “I hear,” goes the story, “that for the next Sturges picture, the critics have agreed to mention the actors.” And so it goes with the fidgety guy who directed “The Lady Eve,” Col. Kenneth Collins’ current offering at the Indiana Theater. He's become just as big news as Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck, costars of “Eve.” Brother Sturges apparently has what it takes to make Hollywood roll over and be good. He was a playwright and scenarist (“Strictly

AND JUST TO PROVE this was no fluke, Cousin Sturges promptly put on another dippy hat and turned out “Christmas in July.” And now it’s “The Lady Eve.” In addition to all this bounding energy in a town where movie directors are paid to decorate swimming pools and quit bothering the studios, the cocky Preston finds time to operate a gourmets’ rendezvous, “The Player's Cafe,” and an engineering company turning out Diesel engines. ” 5 5 I HAVEN'T GOT the latest reports on how the affair finally came out, but when I last heard about it, the Sammy Kaye troupe was looking for a place to throw a party last night. It seems that Billy DeWolfe, the

comedian who spent all week convulsing Lyric audiences, agreed to imitate everybody in the cast and the performers were dying to see what they looked like in Billy's eves. He's the fellow, you know, who walks into a night club, ogles everyone and comes out with a brand-new flock of imitations. P.

ETHEL WATERS comes here next Thursday night in “Cabin in the Sky,” but if Ethel has her way it will be the last time you'll ever see the sultry songstress in a musical.

In so many words, she's looking for another “Mamba’s Daughters,” the play that made her a firstrank dramatic star in a single night. It's hard to find, Ethel.
