BANNED PLAY

MAY BECOME A MOVIE. Darryl Zanuck, who suprised all by making Steinbeck's controversial "Grapes of Wrath” into a film, is how negotiating for the banned play “Tobacco Road.” to make it into a movie, with Walter Brennan in the starring role. This play, which has been banned in most places except New York, where it has been running continuously for four years or more, deals with the poverty of America's poor whites down in the Southern tobacco country. It will have to be well censored before it reaches the screen. THE “MENACE” IN THE PICTURE "REBECCA." Screen writers go to extraordinary lengths to portray the “heavy" in the motion pictures they write, but the “menace” hi “Rebecca." the David O." Selznick picture, consists of a nightgown. lingerie, boudoir slippers and a £5OOO fur coat. These are the belongings of the first Mrs. de Winter, the title character of Daphne du Maurier’s best-seller novel. She never appears on the screen. She is dead before the film begins, but with the cold influence of death her hands shape the lives of Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine, who play the leading roles.
