HOLLYWOOD, Calif., August 3
(N.A.N.A.).—That old dawil. drugs,
' would seem to be giving Mary Nolan
same more trouble. Yesterday morning
she was vindicated by a Federal nar
cotic investigator only after a search
of her person convinced him that he
had no ease against her. But the par
don earns only after the producers who
are to entrust to her the greatest screen
opportunity of her career in two weeks’
time grew gray with the anguish of
it all.
Marv Nolan (or Imogens Wilson)
says that enemies are seeking to blast
her career by spreading the stories
which led to the investigation. Two
nurses preferred the charges, which
‘ carried the lurid phrase “Her arms are
punctured from hypodermic needles.”
Failing to And punctures, but being
convinced that the lady was suffering
from very severe sunburn, the narcotic
agent ealled off his bloodhounds and
Universal took Its first deep breath ,of
the day.
The blond siren, who Is considered
one of the best bets in pictures today,
had trouble several months ago, when
she told Junior Laemmle a thing or two
in no uncertain terms. She threw the
sets on which she was working into a
state of chaos by appearing on the
stages all ticker-tape and having a few
light hysterics from time to time.
A session in the desert brought her
back a sadder and a wiser gal. Bhe
was allowed to remain there for weeks
without knowing whether or not her
contract would be broken by producers
t because of her antics. But she got in
a little deadly work with confiding cor
respondents, to whom she told a aad
tale of having her career warped, a la
Valentino, by bad stories. As a matter
of fact, ahe has had one of the beat
opportunities of any girl in pictures of
recent years.
There were a lot of glum faces about
the Warner Bros.’ studios yesterday

Several went merrily along, aarene
In the faet that they held a year’* eon*
1 tract. But a little chat with producers
convinced them that it would be wlaer
to accept the lay-off until December,
1 In spite of the bit of paper with the
Involved phraseology—for there’s the
matter of years ahead to consider.
One lad had Just bought him a yacht

| on a large scale. Now he’s left with ths
yacht and the lay-off and hla bitter
thoughts.
Playing on the Gold Coast for four
months sans gold isn’t too funny, at
that.
We are going he-man In a great big
: way. When the picture “A Soldier’s
Plaything” was previewed the other
night at a local theater producers, di
rectors and supervisors gathered a bit
glumbly before the theater for the usual
and Inevitable post-mortem.
There wasn't so much back-slapping
and complimentary exchange as one
might expect. But they decided not to
talk It out in full view of a curious
public gathering around to study the re
action of the picture on Its makers.
They came to the conclusion that a
conference at the studio the next day
’ would be a safer measure.
Michael Curtis, the director, said:
‘‘Good! I’ll be there,’’ or words to that
effect.
Darryl Zanuck, supervisor, said some
thing about not awn ting directors In a
cutting conference.
Curtiz said something about being
given the cold mitten to the chief, and
Zanuck said It to Curtis with fists.
Our boys are getting more Horatio
Alger every day.
