MADAME BUTTERFLY RE.MAKE: BETTE PAVIS IS FORGIVEN

Gladys Swarthout is going to thers. They're giving her lots of play the title role in "Madame pictures-and quite a few good Butterfly" after all. With opera

Alms, not so popular as they were, this. subject has been on and off the Paramount schedule for many months.

The studio scenarists have been set to work on the various ver- slons of the story by John Luther Long. David Belasco (play) and Giacomo Puccinii (opera). With all that to work on, they ought to turn out something good,

Benjamin Olazer will produce the picture, and John Boles will be Miss Swarthout's partner,

Joan Bennett, following the an- nouncement of the break-up of her five-year marriage with Gene Markey, has been given a holiday by Walter Wanger, for whom she is making "Vogues of 1938"

When she gets back to the Wan- ger fold, she will finish off the rest of the scenes in the picture,

Then she goes on to "Summer Lightning" a subject that has been on the Wanger schedule a long time.

Wanger hopes to put "Summer Lightning" Into production very quterly. If so, he will be able to get Brian Aherne as Joan's leading man, finishing with Aherne before Mervyn LeRov needs him for "The Great Garrick."

For her unusual role in her most remarkable picture, Shirley Tem- ple had to learn some four hua- dred words of real Chinese, lending Bette Davis seems to have been not only authenticity but extra-more than forgiven for her last crdinary entertainment the year's walk-out on Warner Bro- Twentieth Century-Fox
