Mins Gibson answered one day on the set where "The Dovil Is Driving" her latest picture was being filmed. It comes on Thursday to the Queen's, Theatre with a cast which also in cludes Edmund Lowe, James Glosson, Lois Wilson, Dickie Moore and Allan Dinchart,

It's not, she explains, that she doesn't like Hollywood or the people in it. It's simply that she feels aho stands on the brink of a real career; that the present moment is the most important of her entire life, and that she has to concentrate on the future.

In her last three pictures-"The Strange Case of Clara Deane," "Lady and Gent," and "Night After Night" -she has worked herself up to the verge of stardom. And because she doesn't want any slips, she has decided that it's better to stay home and study her lines than to go to supper clubs, to perfect her gestures

rather than go to premieres.

In decided contrast to the Wynno Gibson of Private life is the Wynne Gibson of the screen, for it's in hard- holled roles that the Young lady has her greatest fame. In The Devil Is Driving, for example, she cast as a tough, wise-cracking night club hosteas, the feminino counter-
