Delinquency Drama and 'Rogue' Billed who looks like a fugitive heavy from the old Majestic Stock as BY PHILIP K- SCHEUER She didn't get the. right kind of upbringing, that Brennan girl and so she had to pay and AT HOLLYWOOD PARTI 7 Mara, along with Jtllss Roberta, take care of the femme appeal. Albert S. RogeU, another veter-an director, enlivens the familiar material where possible. But he lets a headwaiter call a Mr.

Townley "Mr. Townsend" or la that a deliberate snub to, possibly, a reluctant tipper? AND FILM "magnificent," but after scanning the dramatis personae for the fifth time I have no other re course. Maybe the title just got pay. Her tale of woe is unfolded at length in the picture named for her "That Brennan Girl" on the wrong picture. Stars of "The Razor's Edge" and "The Best Years of Our Lives" will exchange guest appearances at the; premieres of the two pictures in New York.

A Rogue Anyhow The second feature, also from Republic, is "The Magnificent Rogue." This is a comedy, the format of which is not exactly new, either. It largely concerns the efforts of Lynno Roberts and her husband, Warren Douglas, to land the advertising account for Smoothie cigarettes, in the person of Gerald Mohr. Because Mr. Mohr is a "wolf" on the make for Miss Roberts, the fact that she is a married woman is coyly withheld from him with customary complications.

It i3 hard to believe that the studio is referring to Mr. Mohr, Jemey I TfCHWICOlOJI Vl CJZ BY EDWIX SCHALLERT Anne Jeffreys is going to take the stage high road to fame, and, unless I miss my guess, she's to prosper like Betty Grable now at the Paramounts, and although it is at beginning and ending, 1946, it is reminiscent of the late '20's- in direction (by Old-Timer Alfred Santell) and "feel." Even the story is by Adela Rogers St. Johns, which is in itself a tip-off. What makes the retelling tolerable, as much as anything, is the quiet skill and sincerity of Mona Freeman in the title role. James Dunn is all right, too, as the Irishman who stands by her most of the time although his larky visits with his mother, a God-fearing soul, inflict such punishment On the spectator that both of Ahem should be called Ginger Rogers in Oregon has fishermen up there, snorting, Steelheads rarely go over 6 or at, the most, 8 pounds.

Incidentally, smoked they're the finest fish I've ever eaten. Sonny Tufts, going after a fox that went after his turkeys, used a bow and arrow to avoid shooting firearms within the city limits. He missed the fox got a turkey. Buster Lamont was called by an express company to pick up a package before its con tents spoiled. Then she got a call from Eddie Norris and did a few years "ago when Buddy de Sylva brought her musical comedienne talents to light in "Du Barry a Lady," footlight Strt iti MONDAY Armiattc ill, iir.7.

They said they'd been -ton for some special form of 7 KwJSx feu-, YOUR FACTS ARE SIIOWIIIG! play. -s R.KO. okayed the whole idea, owing to the fact that Miss Jef fined $200 for the two wild piation.

Charles Lederer and Ben Hecht do the screen treatment of "Ride a Pink which Universal-International bought from Dorothy Hughes. The novel is only three" weeks old; studio wasted no time grabbing it. Alice Marble should have very little difficulty selling her book, "The Road to Wimbledon," for a picture. It's the story of a brave girl and the help and encouragemenjt given her by the late Carole Lombard when Alice fought to regain her health. Dwight Taylor Laurette's son did the scripts for three of Fred Astaire's pictures: "The Gay Divorcee," "Top Hat" and "Follow the Fleet." He's now finishing "Up in Central Park," which stars Dean-na Durbin.

Durbin's thinned down to a mere shadow and has smartened up no end with her clothes. At a big party the other night, she looked like a dream. Yvonne De Carlo engaged a dramatic teacher. She says she can't wait to get out of harem skirts and into real acting parts. STORE CLUB Celeste Holm's baby boy arrived a month early.

But it wasn't premature; she just lost count. Esther Williams wants to begin another picture right away. Some thought that the underwater, wimming sequences in' her last picture might have had something to" do with the loss of her baby, but the doctor said no. 'While she was in the Monterey Hospital, her husband, Ben Gage, her favorite song, "The Girl I Married over the air and put Esther's name in.
