NIGHT LETTER By HY GARDNER Irene Dunne Turns From Movies To TV TO THE VALLEY TIMES Coast-to-Coast Gen. and Mr. David Saruoff, before they took off for a fortnights vacation In Hawaii, noted he was eligible for retirement last Tuesday, but scarcely took notice of the milestone because he loves to work. The difference hetween woiklng and not working, considering Samoffs tax binekel, would be only $10,000 a year, Some of his netwoik's gag writers make that much every two weeks Irene By ROB THOMAS Irene Dunne was back before the cameras this week after too long an absence. But it was lor TV, not the movies.

Miss Dunne was portraying the headmistress of a girls school in Screen Gems film for Ford Theater. Before she dashed off to a fitting during her lunch hour, pinned her down on why she didn't work more often. Well, its not because I dont want to, as rumor had it recently," she replied. "I'm not lazy. just havent found any pictures 1 wauled to do.

I really think the studios should consider making films the way they do in Kuro starting at noon and ending at 7:30 or 8 in the evening. That would not only make it easier on tire actors, but the crew as well. You could get up at a decent hour and work while you still feel refreshed." It is doubtful il the studios will soon be convinced, They feel the factory hours ait more efficient despite the early risings for the glamor girls. llervey and Allan Jones patched up their difference and are Mr. and again Marilyn Monroes return to Hollywood was buried Inside the columns of the local Los Angeles papers, llowpver, the actress (the what?) will be Esquire's Lady Fair in April with Nancy Berg occupying that niche In May Perhaps, the so-whnt notices Mr.
