ESTELITA . RODRIGUEZ Is playing her first starring role in “Belle of Old Mexico” at Republe. Estelita is a black-haired Cuban, tiny and fiery. She's 22 but wishes she were] 26. “Everyones,” she said, “treat me like a keed, I am a mother.” Estelita was married, briefly, to Chu-Chu Martinez, the rhumba| band leader, and they have a daughter. She sang and danced in New York night. clubs and then | ~ came to Hollywood with an ““M-G-M contract.

As a mat"tof of fact, Estelita, with a little more effort, could be another Lupe. ” A FEW a ago: Olivia de Havilland almost found herself in trouble competing with herself for an Oscar with “The Dark Mirror” and “To Each His Own.” .-Same may happen to Kirk Douglas, Warner Brothers will rush “Young Man With a Hern” through for an early release because they feel Kirk has a good chance for an Oscar.
