After her marriage to Kenneth McKenna in Hollywood, seven years ago, Mary Phillips decided 'keeping a house and domestic problems was more than enough to occupy me" and retired from films and the stage completely. The recent movie, "Lady in the Dark" brought her from domesticity back to filmdom.

"Always a sucker for clothes, I just couldn't resist wearing those gorgeous garments in the movie" she says of her return. "After 'Lady in the Dark' I followed my husband to New York, (he's in the Armv now) and gosh darn if I didn't fall for Every Sunday'." She has the featured role of Emily Black-man, boarding house keeper. It wasn't the clothes this time, however. The book "Chicken Every Sunday" had always appealed to her as a warm portrayal of characters. And after reading the script, she liked it just as much.

"Surprise, surprise!" she says gaily. "I love chicken. I eat oodles of it not every Sunday, practically every day! There was time, though, when I didn't. Out in Hollywood we had eight pet chickens. When we left for New York we had killed every last one of them.
