HOLLYWOOD STAR-LITES
By Chuck Cochard
HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) —
One of Hollywood's many studios
has recently inaugurated a new
policy which is one of the finest
moves ever made by the motion
picture industry in its history.
20th Century-Fox studios led
by its leader Darryl Zanuck have
adopted the policy whereby no
one star will be cast in more than j
four pictures per year but each
of these pictures will be hand
picked and tailor-made to fit
each star’s particular talents.
The effect of this move will
have a good influence upon every
one. Stars will not lose their pop
ularity by their appearance in
too many pictures per year. It
will open way for lots of new i
faces and new stars to entertain;
the theater audiences throughout1
the world.
Dorothy Lamour and Jon Hall
will be teamed again in “Macin
tosh” . . Last time they appeared
together was in “Hurricane.”
George Brent will be teamed;
with Bette Davis in “The Letter”
It will be Miss Davis’ first film j
upon her return from her Hono-1
lulu vacation.
Walt Disney’s next feature-1
length cartoon will be "Bambi” j
story of that little deer.
Jack Holt recently celebrated;
his 24th consecutive year as a
Hollywood star.
