Marvin Uecker investigated a Monday fire that leveled a residence at 237 Packde Avenue, valued at $14,500 with total loss of house and contents. Firemen were hampered by the nearest hydrant four blocks away. No injuries reported. Building owned by James H. Taylor.
Louella Parsons reports Donna Read ending a long run of bad breaks with a new Columbia contract to co star in The Hero with John Derek and Sidney Blackmer. Barbara Be Geddes has a deal with Oscar Hammerstein II for In the Forest of the Night, while Barbara will miss some film offers. A veteran hospital letter praises Stanley Kramer’s The Men, and Rex Ingram’s career memory surfaces as Valentino’s legacy is recalled. Parsons also notes Hollywood socializing at Joe Schenck’s Beverly Hills home and a dinner-dance with Clark Gable, June Allyson, and Darryl Zanuck at Durango location plans.
