Aubrey Smith, Charlotte Gran- ville, Lilian Bond | Directed by Jack Conway News Cartoon Curiosities 'SLIM' SUMMERVILLE in “LET’S PLAY” ————Last Times Tonight——— RICHARD DIX in “PUBLIC. DEFENDER” " By HARRISON CARROLL HOLLYWOOD, Cal—News was being whispered about Hollywood that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has arrived at a tentative cast for its big experiment—the filming of “Strange Interlude.” Norma Shearer, of course, is set as the heroine of Eugene O'Neill's Fredian drama, famous for its asides. Now comes the rumor, through secret channels, that Clarke Gable, Ralph Graves and Conrad Nagle are likely to play the three mascu- line leads. My unofficial source names Gable as the doctor who becomes the heroine’s lover; the husband and Conrad Nagle as the futile Charlie. Preliminary tests of these actors are said to have been satisfactory. Of course, this doesn't settle the matter— porters learned from “Grand Hotel"—but the tip seems worth passing on. Columnist Hears Tinkle Of Wedding Bells And mow for another rumor, this time pretty certain. Though they are trying to keep their plans secret, T understand Sharon Lynn and Benjamin Glazer will be mar- ried in the very near future. Youll remember Sharon as the slim beauty in ‘the Fox Follies and other pictures. Benjamin Glazer (“Barney” to Hollywood) is ome of our best known scenarists and now is a producer at Paramount. Tip for the courthouse boys: Sharon’s real name isD’Auvergne Sharonh Lindsay. She's a Weather- ford, Texas, girl.
