HOLLYWOOD NOTES By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD # — Talk of the town this week was the continuing feud between Mario Lanza and s are always good tion in Hollywood, which dearly loves a fight. Com- mented Humphrey Bogart: “Lan- ta’s working it all wrong. He should have decided long ago whether or not he wanted to do the picture (‘The Student Prince’). But it’s not a good idea to walk out on a picture after it has start- ed. Fight with ’em first.” Bogart should know. His running battle with Warner Brothers has enlivened the town for more than di je, and he is tops as a tac- tician in studio battles. But de- spite a dozen or more suspensions, he still retains a contract with Warners. That is seldom true with other studio battlers. MGM has had more than its share of temperamental stars. A notable case was Judy Garland. The studio put up with her out- bursts during the lush days, but took a firmer stand when times began to get tough. One day she failed to show up after lunch on the “Annie Get Your Gun” set. She was ousted from the picture and replaced with Betty Hutton. ‘The studio also tussled with her over her excess poundage when she made “Summer Stock.” The picture to finish, and Miss Garland was given her freedom when it was work elsewhere. No other major studio would hire him, since they feared legal complications. So Cagney aligned with a small com- pany named Grand National. After in firm became defunct, he drift- ed back to Warners, where he won an Oscar for “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” Among the others who have tiffed with Warners are Olivia de Havilland, Bette Davis, Joan Les- le and Lauren Bacall. Miss De Havilland fought a long court duel which ended in her favor and es- tablished a precedent that has helped other stars. After a series | of bad pictures, Miss Davis and the studio called it quits, ending one of the longest studio star asso- lations in Hollywood. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis/ staged a sitdown strike with their producer, Hal Wallis, this year. ‘They wouldn't work until they got a bigger share of the profits. Be- ing the biggest attraction in show business today, they got their way. And then there's the story of an Academy Award star who recently won a new contract permitting him to do outside pictures and televi- | tion for his studio. When it was finished, the entire sound track was discovered to be ruined by ‘The star was asked to dub the a headache from start | CONCH CHOWDER By RAYMER | Some of the costumes for the come-one-come all party at Horace Young’s will be dillies, I hear.
