NORMA SHEARER OUT OF PIGTURE |Star Rejects Role of Scar-| lett O'Hara in “Gone with the Wind” at spots in | Shearer has rejected the role of Wind.” In declining to play the most controversial role in the history of the screen, Miss Shearer said she was bowing to the wishes of her fans. In said: Se: a statement Miss Shearer have decided I should not play ett. T am convinced the ma- of the fans who think I should not play this kind of a char- acter on the screen are right, and I appreciate the interest they have shown. No Deal Made “I have sadvised Mr. Mayer and Mr. Selznick of my feelings in the matter so that they should not consider me for the part should the Metro-Golowyn-Mayer deal with Selznick go through.” | Miss Shearer’s statement revaled for the first time that no definite arrangement has yet been made be- | 3 tween her studio and David O. Selznick, who owns the screen| rights to the famous book, for pro-| duction of the picture.

She returned | recently to the screen in “Marie Antoinette,” her first role since the death of her husband, Irving| Thalberg, in the summer of 1936. — L3 - i HOSPITAL NOTES | Mrs, .
