Miss Wright Favors

More Summer Stock

HOLLYWOOD, Apr. 23 (UP)—Teresa Wright, an actress who got her start in summer stock, wishes Hollywood had some out here. It's what%he movie industry needs, she said, ‘to give its new actors some practice and give the old ones something to do when they're “between pictures.” A summer stock producer in Hollywood might even find Miss Wright in his cast. She and producer Samuel Goldwyn recently parted company with mutual pleasure. ® = » < : MISS WRIGHT doesn’t approve of the custom of taking a her to turn into an actress merely by the addition of makeup. 3 “We need a proving ground for the more promising newcomers,” she said. “A summer stock circuit around here also would give established stars a good chance to go back to the stage for a refresher course in gtage acting.” as ite

a darn about run-of-the-mill male actors,™ says Miss Darnell, who proved her case when she married Peverell Marley, a cameraman. “We're expased to enough aeting and temperament all day without seeking more of the same at home.” “Male movie stars don’t make good husbands anyway,” Miss Darnell says she uhderstands. “They don’t pay a girl much attention, because they're paying too much attention to themselves.” ® ~ » IN HER 20th Century-Fox picture, “Slattery’s Hurricane,” Miss Darnell falls head-over-heels for a devil-may-care pilot played -by Richard Widmark. That coincides with her private opinion that fliers are way up on the list of wonder men.
