LLYWOOD, Cal., Dec. 4—Katharine Cornell, alone of the X lights, remains a holdout on Hollywood. No irg or tempting with salary appears sufficient to adwa has had her fling at pictures and—barring sub- which might prove me a bum prophet—she won't thank you. Miss Hayes had, in her years only two or at the most three vehicles which could y more C lzLar, be considercd remotely worthy of her talents: “Arrowsmith” and and “A Farwell to Arms.” The others were 6 ingenue might have played. ys stars—of the Cornell-Hayes-and-so-on cali- in earnest about roles. | m is Ruth Gordon, who'll speak right up and admit in the theatre before she even peeked at Hollywood. of i Miss Gordon, diminutive in the Helen Hayes fashion and even plai if you look at her through eyes over-fed on con- venticnal mou is here doing the role of Mrs. Ehrlich in Ehilich” opposite Edward G.

She’s playing with the idea of filming one of the Restoration Period plays—not “The Country Wife” which was a’stage hit for her, but some other which could be adapted-to screen use without sendingz all the nation’s censors into horrified collapse. “Those plays deserve to be perpetuated,” she said, “and they can’t be done on the stage as well as they could be filmed. Most of the roles require stars, even the lesser ones, and Holly- wood has the money for an all-star cast where the stage hasn't. “I'm having a grand time, working in the movies, like a child with a new toy,” she said before hurrying off to Glendale’s antique shop “strip” to look for old-fashioned earrings for her role. Glamour and beauty as we get used to it seem no longer the sine qua non of movie successes, and Miss Gordon is no lone standard-bearer in the field. Another to be recokoned with is Flora Robson, to be seen in the Muni film, “We Are Not Alone,” in an incisive protrait of a disagreeable, hard yet pitiable woman. Miss Robson is tall, brunette, not so unattractive as she makes her film role, but still far short of beauty. Like Miss Gordon, her charm is not entirely surface, which is to the good. NELSON EDDY STAR OF FILM MUSICAL HERE “|ef Freedom Ring” Play- ing Now at Capitol Theatre Lusty outdcor drama of the pio- neer West, “Let Freedom Ring,’ which opened yesterday at the Ca itol Theatre,«presents Nelson Eddy in his most virile characterization to date, surrounding him with a cast of veterans who, despite their for- midable reputations, are hard put to it to match the sterling work of the singing star.

Every summer after she had crossed the Clyde to Rosneath House, Dumbartonshire—for long the dower-house of the Dukes of Argyll — she would add another painting to her output. When the weather was bad, she would. sit at her window, painting the garden. Her London home was Kensing- ton Palace, where she lived in apart- ments adjoining those of her young: er sister, Princess Beatrice. There the two old ladies often spent their evenings playing backgammon. Long after her eightieth birthday she remained surprisingly active.
