"Why don't you put that girl in pictures?" they wrote inquiringly. Producer Darryl Zanuck had every reason to take a chance on Marian Rosamond. But it was still another gamble for her to come to Hollywood.

She had to give up her role in "Louisiana Purchase." Small though it was, it was a foothold. "But I knew it would turn out all right," she told me. And it did. She is already in line for small roles in "The Great Ameri can Broadcast" and "Miami." When the six girls were asked on arrival what they would do if they failed to make good in Hollywood, with one exception they replied they would go back to modeling. That one exception was Marian Rosamond.

Her response was: "It took me three years to get here and I'm not going to give up easily. I'll stick and study until i learn my job. She has taken a small apart ment in Westwood near the studio and doesn't appear to be at all overwhelmed by Hollywood. The only thing that upset her, she confessed, was that first scene she had to appear in with Don Ameche. "The very thought of it made me horribly nervous," she said, "but he turned out to be so friendly and helpful, I soon threw it off."

AMUSEMENTS Record Breaking NOW ON 1 fJ JJ. rtf MM-1 1 1 1 mlf r- arf I 1 I 1 1 PARAMOUNT FENWAY "Honeymoon for Three "Behind the yews" "Honeymoon for Three." a Warner Brothers productioa directed by Llovd Bacon.

Screen play by Earl Baldwin, with additional dialogue by Julius J. and Thilip G. Epstein. from a play by Alan Scott and George Haight The cast: i Anne RrtRcrs Ann nosers Kenneth Bixby ijOeprge Bent rieMer rarringion ja. "Honeymoon for Three," current vehicle for the talents of George Brent and Ann Sheridan, Is a spirit- ntumiui the Taramount and Fenway Theatres yesterday.

Also on the bill is a bright and reasonably accurate film about newspaper folk called "Behind the News" in which Lloyd Nolan and Frank Albertson are the leading players. Taking things in their proper order, "Honeymoon for Three" is an unconvincing story of a pot-boiling novelist. Kenneth Bixby, whom Brent impersonates, and his pretty secretary of many years' standing, who presses her marital designs upon him. The secretary is, of course. Miss Sheridan.

While on a lecture tour, Bixby is besieged by a former college sweetheart (Osa Massen) who feels that she had been inspiration for the author's latest novel. Naturally she pictures herself as the heroine who marries the hero. Notwithstanding a husband, played with all his famed cenfusion by Charlie Ruggles, Osa sets her trap for Bixby. Needless to say, things finally work out in the best interests of Bixby and his secretary, so that Brent and Miss Sheridan are clinched at the picture's end. Played woodenly by its leading characters, "Honeymoon for Three" is tedious, but it is occasionally brightened by three talented players: Walter Catlett, Charlie Rijg-gles and Lee Patrick.

"Behind the News" is another story. Lloyd Nolan, one of Hollywood's best but least recognized actors, gives a believable and even brilliant portrayal of a cynical, hardened court reporter. Matching Nolan's efforts are those of Frank Albertson as a cub reporter who succeeds in reforming his idol, making him again the crusading fighter he originally was. To newspaper men who usually writhe at the outlandish films dedicated to their profession, "Behind the News" should prove heartening. RKO BOSTON THEATRE Vaudeville "Who Killed Aunt Maggie?" "Along the Rio Grande" In vaudeville, individual talent may suffer or benefit by the makeup of the bill as a whole; this week's neatly balanced program at the RKO Boston is varied enough to add sparkle to each act what's more, the film features are of such superior quality as to make this a must Of music, for instance, there is the excellent Fenton Brothers' Band Wagon Orchestra to provide synco pated rhythm that sets the feet to tapping, and there is Don Zelaya, old-time vaudevillian, to provide some unusual piano solos and highly comical lecture notes.

Of dancing there are the nimble feet of Ann Pritchard and Jack Lord to translate motion into poetic grace. and for patter and variety there are Frank Ross and his handsome partner. Frank is a one-man musician sans instrument; his effects are produced exclusively by his vocal chords. And finally for speed and expert timing there are the Car- dovas teeter-board performers deservedly billed as artists. But to come back to the Fenton Freres, they score immediately with their theme, "Driftwood," go on to more applause for "Frenasi," and take over the house with "Stein Song Fantasy." Meanwhile, they've presented a neat skit.

"Plaza 3-4783," which tells of the doubtful joys of being a professional escort In this Joe Fenton plays the escort Brother George, who directs, also sings well. and the whole team is made up of showmen as well as musicians. A special word of praise here for Russ Gilman, the drummer, whose solo in "Chant of the Jungle" is something worth the hearing. "Who Killed Aunt Maggie?" ton feature of the double bill, is a sparkling screwball comedy that Hollywood somehow overlooked. It deserves being featured with screaming posters and hysterical revues.

It is a burlesque mystery film to end all mysteries and, incidentally, turns out to be a first-rate thriller on its own account with a full quota of corpses (three) before the secret room has been located and the culprit brought to justice" An excellent cast, splendid dialogue and neatly contrived situations make this the laugh mystery of the year. John Hubbard and Wendy Barrie head the cast Lanky Willie Best, Negro comic, and bald Edgar Kennedy provide the comedy. The other film. "Alone the Rio Grande," is an uncommonly good Western, with a plausible plot, fast action and splendid riding. It marks the first starring'picture of young Tim Holt, son of Jack Holt famed two-fisted star.

Women'" Privilege CLEVELAND (AP) Charles Mor-ton noticed a sartorially impeccable woman running after a shabbily dressed man. Thinking perhaps the man had stolen her purse, Morton dashed up in time to hear the woman say: "I've changed my mind. Yes, I WILL give you a nickel for a cup of coffee." Mm nayes rard" as rortrayad by "Zero" In "High Sierra" now at the Metropolitan Theatre, Humphrey plays ine roie 01 toj "last of the DUlmger ganged gives a superb and picturesque performance. "High Sierra" is a throw-back to the days when the films glorified carfter heroes, but Earle's death is an inevitable conclusion from the 'g-t part of the story. "You can't v'n" tne unexpressed theme of "High Sierra." but nevertheless sym-rathv goes to Earle.

He's Public Enemy No. 1 and he vould as soon kill a man as steal a bcx cf cigarettes. But killing is a business with him and in his rrowents of leisure he's kind to a criFp'ed girl, generous to his friends, a'd courageous when he's facing a cnWdly enemy. If. Roy -Earle wasn't a professional thief and killer j.f would be a swell guy to know.

The plot concerns his release from prison, his taking over the leadership of a gang plotting a big time heist." hi3 falling in love with a crippled girl and arranging for an operation that cures her, and his final battle with the law just after he has found out where his real happiness lies. The dialogue is keen, the action fast and clear and the characterization perceptive and true. Here is a killer who doesn't understand why the papers should call him "Mad Dog" Earle, and thinks of himself ss a hard working member of society, and feels his "deals" are no more dishonest than those of Wall Street financiers. If someone gets into the way of his gun he's sorry, tut it was in the cards. No one could play the role more dynamically than Mr.

Bogart, who brings freshness and drama to the old story of a gangster captured and killed by the forces of law and order. Ida Lupino, as the "moll" whose love for Earle turns out to be the biggest thing in his life, etches out her part with impressive and distinguished talent. Miss Lupino is becoming one of the best young players in Hollywood and alert Warner Brothers are not slow in allowing her more footage. John Leslie is attractive as the little girl who was Earle's ideal until her foot is healed and she becomes a wisky drinking jitterbug, while Pard, the dog who can look sad or merry, and who turns out to be the forerunner of bad luck for Earle, is exceptionally effective. "Father's Son," with John Litel snd Frieda Inescort is the story of a beautiful mother, a dyspeptic father and a 13-year-old boy who gets into scrapes.

Only One Housing Project Goes to U. Says Breen Prior to departure for Washington, where he is conferring today on the sale of the newer South Boston low-rent housing project to the Federal Government, John A. Breen, chairman of the Boston Housing Authority, stated that sale of any cf the city's other housing projects is not contemplated. Although the sale of the South Boston unit is considered virtually consummated by both Federal anu city authorities, opposition to the rale was voiced yesterday by State Representative John E. Flaherty ana Lity Councilor Thomas E.

Lin-ehan, both of South Boston, and by several persons whose hopes of being admitted to the project when it is completed in a fortnight have ceen snatterea. The sale was described as "un necessary and manifestly unfair" by Representative Flaherty. He stated that Boston had sacrificed taxable properties for the project and com plained that when it was near torn. pletion" the Federal officials arbi trarily seize control so as to rro vice for persons employed in the city cf Quincy and elsewhere." Cha.rman Breen pointed out that the project had been built with the understanding that Boston would receive 43 percent of the gross rent receipts in lieu of taxes. He held rut hope that this percentage might ce raised when the federal Government took over.

In any case, he said, the city will realize higher revenue because the percentage doubtlessly will be figured out on higher rents than the housing authority would have charged. Truants' I. Q. Lower Calif. (UP) -Why students play hookv has been solved by Dr.

Tax THIS SUN. AFT. TICKETS TODAY SYMPHONY HALL FLAGSTAD pill Her professional experience consisted of one Summer stock job, modeling in Boston stores and a little commercial photography. With this slender background, Marian Rosamond Flynn set out for the great gamble in New York: "I was scared," she told me, "because I knew it was a cruel big city.

My family, were simply furious and wouldn't help me, hoping that I would have to give up soon and come home." But she never went back except for brief visits. Last week Marian Rosamond (she has dropped her surname, Flynn) stepped off a plane in Hollywood. She wore the smartest of tailored outfits and in her hanudbag was a 20th Century-Fox contract to appear in "Road to Rio." When Ray Dannebaum of the publicity staff brought her down to my house for a chat over a cup of tea it didn't take my Hollywood trained eye many minutes to discern why Marian made the grade. I was startled by her likeness to Bette Davis when Bette first came to Hollywood. She is much taller in a willowy way.

But she has Bette's blue eyes and that shy, inquisitive look Bette used to have before she learned the Hollywood game. Rosamond is very blonde, but not in 100 years would you class her among the Hollywood blondes. She has a gentle distinction about her, and a poise which she acquired modeling. "Modeling gives you poise, con fidence, teaches you how to walk gracefully, how to make the most of good points," she said. And modeling brought her bom her stage and screen chances.

She was with the Vyvian Dormer Fashion Show, which is a part-o; the Fox newsreel, when she was chosen as one of six models to come to Hollywood for the "Road to Rio picture. She impressed studio executives and was signed to a stock contract. None of her family, she told me. had ever been connected with the theatre. Her father, Joseph Flynn.

is a Boston architect. Her mother was Marian King of Norwood where the family home is located Her brother Joseph, several years older, works for a Boston adver tising firm. "I decided when I was going to high school at Norwood that act' ine was my ambition. I won scholarship and took a course of dramatics at the New England Conservatory. One Summer I did a little work in stock in Weston.

Vt, with the Harlan Grant Players. "I got practical experience first in commercial photography and as a model at Filene s. But couldn't see much future in Boston. I wanted to get away to New York. I set out with but one -change of clothes.

I wore a dark suit dark clothes are always most presentable. "I went right to the Powers Agency and registered, and rented a little room nearby. Mr, Powers told me how to change my hair to improve my looks, and almost right away he got work for me. I made $50 the first week. Slowly I built up my wardrobe as best I could." Marian learned to wear clothes so well that she attracted the eye of Buddy De Sylva at the 21 Club one night.

Result, he offered her a small role in his play, "Louisiana Purchase." At night she acted. By day she modeled. By this time she had become connected with the Fashion news reel, where she caught the eye of the Fox talent scout. And he didn't even have to make a screen test of her. The newsreel is a sort of advance Gallup Poll, which has it all over the customary screen test.

A girl is at ease. She's wearing terrific things, yet she hasn't the nervous self -conscious ness of a girl taking a screen test She even has a fan following.
