Adventurers Wt By VIRGINIA VALE J to a great thousanda of letters from fans, Norma Shearer has definitely decided to make more pictures. From New York, where she went to visit Helen Hayes, she telephoned the studio that she would come back soon ready to begin preparatory work on Marie Antoinette. She chose this story in preference to any other because she had discussed every detail of its production with her husband before his death. Actual date of production depends on Charles Laughton, because she is determined to have him in the cast and he is under contract to make several pictures in England. It is good to know that we will be seeing Norma on the screen again. roucan yoawBj, INFLUENCED ing th k teratur Jmetinw,, Drowning in the Dark ied beef By FLOYD GIBBONS Fuun DetdliH Boater Ive heard it said that drowning is 'one of pleasantest ways there is to die.
