Since even if Warners does not give them new contracts, options on their old one will give them each $900 a week by 1938, they should be able to afford it. Last fortnight the Mauchs were in New York for a holiday. This week they were back in Hollywood, ready to start work on the next Mauch picture-probably an adaptation of Hugh Walpole's book, A Prayer...
