Actor Gets Visitors’ Hint

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 6 (UP)—This is visitor season at the movie studios, and one of the few persons who seems happy about it is Wendell Corey, actor. ; v The studios are crowded witr publishers, exhibitors, financial executives, t* friends and their secretaries’ friends. When Corey finishes a-scene he always looks inquiringly at the informal little gallery behind the camera. From their faces, he claims, he can tell how the last scene will go over in the home town movie house.

‘It’s wonderful. television set.

I sit home in an easy chair and turn on my I smoke my cigars and my wife scratches my

back. By 11 o'clock I'm so blind I have to be led to my room.

But it’s wonderful.”

Groucho and Chico and Harpo just finished “Love Happy,”

their first movie together in three years. The word is around that it's one of their best. Groucho isn’t so sure, “I'll see you at the preview. You'll know me because I'll be the only-one there.” - ” ” DAVID NIVEN looks like the star of Lester Cowan's remake of “Sorrell and Son.” The picture will be ‘made in England. . . .

Douglas Fairbanks Sr. in the title role. Now we'll be able to tell how Flynn measures up to Fairbanks—on the screen that is. ” ” ” RAN INTO Niven Busch and Teresa Wright at the Alisal Ranch near Santa Barbara. Niven was all agog when he read in the paper that he had sold his new book, “The Furies,” for $100,000. The reason for his excitement was that he had just closed the deal for $50,000 and he was wondering who got the rest of the money.
