The story as told in Hollywood is that since some months before his marriage the heavyweight champion has been endeavoring to “book her” for & heroine role in a really big picture.

It helps to bear out Mrs. Dempsey's prediction before she married the heavyweight champ—that he wasn't going to fight KENNEDY CONSIDERS RETIRING FROM NAVY Lieutenant Recently Free From Hospital for Insane to Act on Matter Soon.

Jack and Estelle finally got married before any materialized. Since then the for- mers salary demands are said to have been hunched a couple of thousand a week. But also, according to the Hollywood story, no contracts for Mrs. Dempsey as leading woman were forthcoming. Unwilling Producers. The producers, it is said, regard Mrs. Dempsey as a very capable acy tress with a screen personality that “gots over,” but they were unwilling to gamble half a million on the sua- cess of a picture and at the same time pay such fancy salary demands. They offered, it is said, to produce & big feature ure with Mrs. Demp- sey in the leading role, but with a percentage of profits instead of a salary as her bit. Jack, as friend husband and manager, {rowned upon such a proposition, so it is said, and he is financing the plcture himself —with his own acting ablility as leading man thrown in to insure its success. At the Dempsey apartment here, neither the heavyweight ¢hamp nor Mrs. De y would discuss the in- timate fi cial details of the new picture tod: It is going to be pro- duced, they said, by an “independent” company, but they e not telling the names of the stockholders in the | company.
