...season has been pretty rough on Stevenson-adding a blonde Kozatsky dancer to the Soviet's Treasure Island (TIME, Jan. 31), flaunting an unimagined Hollywood ingenue in a Technicolored sarong in Ebb Tide (TIME, Nov. 29)-but in Kidnapped, R. L. S. takes the count. Producer Darryl F. Zanuck. the better to display a fine figure of a lass named Arleen Whelan, has shifted many of the novel's best scenes to strange and shadowy positions, has relegated to the attic the memorable ball-and-cutlass siege of the Brig Covenant's roundhouse, has made storied Patriot...

This year the chief ones were elected in a poll of 15,000 actors, directors, writers, other eligible Hollywood craftsmen...
...those stories. A fan magazine was offering a dance scholarship to the prettiest face in the country. Judy Parks, her Kappa roommate, sent in Marjorie's picture. That was practically all there was to it. Zanuck's boys were around soon after winner Miss Weaver arrived in New York to claim the prize. So you'll see her dancing in Sally, Irene, and Mary, Marjorie playing "Mary," Fred Allen doing the comedy...
