Miss Hunt starred on Broadway and the local stage, in many motion pictures and television. In addition she is an accomplished dress designer who. invariably designs her personal wardrobe and most of the clothes which she wears in theatrical Basehart Given Nod as John Paul Jones brings to the role of the Judge, and Stanley Bell carried off the part of Maitland with efficiency. Rosemary Murphy headed the other support as the mother, while Ruth Chandler, Helen Bonstelle and Audrey Ridgewell appeared, with Miss Chandler meriting credit.

Hunter Rides Oivn Mare in Western Tab Hunter, cast as a young rancher in "The Burning Hills," should and does look at home in the saddle of the horse he rides in the picture. The horse, a good-looking mare named Swizzlestick, is Tab's property. "The Burning Hills," which stars Natalie Wood with Hunter, opens tomorrow at the Paramount Downtown, Hollywood and UA Pasadena theaters and eight drive-ins. 1" BY EDWIN SCHALLERT A double queenship of the stage was celebrated last night at the Huntington Hartford Theater. Cheers, re markably prolonged, testified to this at the close of "The Chalk Garden," with Gladys Cooper and Judith Anderson.

Make those two names m- terchangable, incidental- ly. While Miss Cooper necessarily benefits by her longer familiarity with her role, Miss Anderson rises to not able heights in her climaxing scenes, and actually is given the primary billing in the at traction. It is a tremendously noteworthy occasion for both of these exceptional stars. One must face the fact lne LnalK uarden is a highly stylized play in various of its portrayals, and therefore exacting on the audience's attention even difficult to hear easily and readily in its present fine acoustic environment. But the production had a highly responsive public at the opening.

Wherefor most of. those present will spread the word far and wide that here is a theatrical experience of highest quality. Mad Household In the play Miss Cooper is1 elegantly and madly the lady of the manor situated on the English countryside. At the beginning life there is dominated by a butler, never seen because he is an invalid. But he is a veritable tyrant.

The household includes the TOMORROW mil Theatres I rl -tf a fj The story of the renegade Sergeant Emmett Bell who found his weakness in the arms of another man's woman and his strength in another man's God! it EVES. 3:30 PHONE ORDERS NOW! WEbster 8-3458 PRICEsTmot. Tuet. Wei. Thort.

It is an insane sort of household, with the man servant Mait-land, a persistent, somewhat esthetic rebel, as another per sonality. Into this domain Miss Madrigal, played by Miss Anderson, enters for employment without references. The granddaughter in her imaginative fashion quickly fastens on her as an exciting woman of mystery. The main thing from Miss Cooper's standpoint is that Miss Madrigal knows how to I make a cnaiK garoen grow things, and this solves for her a very vital problem. Comedy, Humanness Though the spell of perpetual gaiety prevails through most of "The Chalk Garden" due to the witticisms, both conscious and unconscious, of Miss Cooper as Mrs.

St. Maugham, there is a depth of humanness and understanding in the treatment of the later surprisingly impressive scenes when the true nature of Miss Madrigal, playedj by Miss Anderson, is disclosed. "The Chalk Garden' reaches a rare human peak in the final dialogue, which un questionably helped inspire the remarkable audience re action. It is, nevertheless, a play of tragile substance.

Audiences will find a great deal indeed to admire in the play and the performances, though one could well ask for more clarity in the actual rendition of the dialogue at certain times. Miss Cooper has an inclination especially to play her role with almost too much swiftness and surety, though it requires that. ueirore uwens coum give somewhat more value of her speeches, in spite of the fact that she is a very clever young actress Frederic Worlock is most commend- that Ivn 0 0 I B. lambsl STADTe 1 0 I in 4 mmsi 51 5 1 rufT.syn MVDtli 0 0 7 0 we 0 I MUnn Cl Tommy Noonan Francis Lederer Edward Arnold Minor Watson Nam (new i Nornun Krasnj A LOVE STORY YOUR HEART WILL LONG REMEMBER) TYRONE POWER KIM NOVAK 0mm Uumm CaTi PttaitrW if KMT WPHiIPB MR1( tJtHtt nnsup l(H cW AT All THEATRES GUINNESSm "THE lADYKUURS'L ti.

Among his clients were the late Hobart-Bosworth, Oliver Famous Play-ers-Lasky, Pickford and Fairbanks, George M. Co-; han and Caruso.

He recalled the silent film about Caruso titled "My Cousin." That was before they knew how to put voices on the sound track. Since audiences couldn't hear the great tenor sing, the picture laid an egg. So did the silent picture in which George M. Cohan starred, directed by Mickey Neilan. Mickey kept asking George to slow down.

Cohan said, the way I act. What's good enough for the theater should be good enough for pictures." When I inquired if he'd caught any hig ones on his fishing jaunt he said, "No, I won't knock myself out for the big ones I'm content with just fish." ON KEY Vivian Blaine bought rights to Flo Ziegfeld's music from Billie Burke and the Shuberts and is making an album of hit tunes from the Follies covering the 1912 to 1933 period. Included will be "Mr. Gallagher," "You'll be Surprised," "My Man," "Mandy," "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody." Mercury Records is releasing. Vivian starts the road tour of "Hatful of Raiti" the middle of October and brings the play into the Biltmore here in January.

Producers don't think of her as just a singer any more, but as an actress. Rhonda Fleming has finished four pictures this year and plans a tour of Australia in October; after that she'll vacation in the Orient. Nicholas Nayfack bought "The Miracle of Misty Creek" for Metro and wants Bill Wellman to direct. Bill is eager to do it. Story would be great for Glenn Ford.

I'm delighted Glenn is out of "Garment Center." I didn't think he'd do it. Released br Chicago Trtbunr N.Y. News syndicate. I9a6 Cont. from 2: Ftaturet at 2:20, 4:15.

Sam Bronston, who's producing, tells me he screened 38 players before settling on Basehart. The deal was set over longdistance phone with Dick, who is now in Rome. None other than Fleet Adm. Chester Nimitz will act as technical adviser to Bill Dieterle's direction. Story includes scene of signing of Declaration of Inde- Richard Basehart pendence, also Jones' invasion of England, where he threw British shipping into a tizzy.

The Rockefellers have given permission to shoot scenes in historic Williamsburg. It should be great. John Wayne's had letters from all over congratulating him for his comment on the Harrison incident: "As far as Weldy is concerned, I think he's a nice enough fellow, and I hope he's not in trouble. But I deplore the fact he's such a poor shot." ON STORK LIST Danny Mann tells me he and his wife are expecting their third baby in February. Danny, who directed "Teahouse of the August Moon," is in New York to see his father and a special preview of his film, which Metro hopes will make the Music Hall for Christmas.

Stuart Millar is also in New York for the preview of his first picture, "Young Stranger," with Jimmy MacArthur. I don't believe it will be too long before Stuart announces his engagement to beautiful Cecelia Evans, whom he met while at Stanford. They seem to be so much in love. She's now secretary to Architect William Pereira. The day Paul Douglas signed for the New York play, "A Hole in His Head," he turned down three pictures at $125,000 each.

He will be in New York in early October for Perry Como's show, then "Born Yesterday" with Mary Martin on TV, Before Paul starts play rehearsals he'll make "Protection for a Tough Racket" with Jean Simmons and Tony Fran-ciosa for Metro. Meanwhile Paul's wife, Jan Sterling, starts a TV series titled Publicity Girl for Jack Chertok. GONE FISHING Pete Smith, at MGM for 29 years, was asked to do narration for "The Solid Gold Cadillac," but he was starting on a fishing trip to Mexico and saw no reason to change his plans. He goes to Metro these days for a haircut and treatment from, their Dr. Mitchell.
