Lamarr Wanted To Play
HEDY LAMARR, the
screen's "Glamour Gir}" who has made three films during her short stay in Hollywood, became involved early this winter in a boxing Imatch with her employers,
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Hedy led in round one by announcing that she pro- posed to tour in Oscar Wilde's stage play, "Sa- lome." M.G.M. came back at her in round two with a court order which restrain- ed her from doing any such thing.
Round three found Hedy still fighting grimly, either for an increase in salary (from G$500 a week to G$5,000 a week) or the cancellation of her contract. The match Was fought out round by round, but Hedy is now back in the M.G.M. studios.
