Former Movie Star Makes
Comeback In Television
By HUBBARD KEAVY
(Fur Bob Thomas)
. HOLLYWOOD W) If the name
of a movie player is dropped from
the Motion Picture Almanac, as it
always is when the person is in
active for a year, he's usually had
it. As a rule, it means he's
through.
Mary Brian's name was dropped
years and years ago and except for
two marriages and one divorce,
she has not made news. But she Is
a candidate today for any tele
vision guide because she has come
out of quiet retirement to play the
mother of Corliss Archer in a 39
installment TV series.
Texas-born Mary was 20 and
pretty when she was tapped for
the role of Wendy in the 1928
version of "Peter Pan." A matured
beauty today, 26 years later, she
thinks that the movies treated her
very well and she has no regrets.
In nearly 50 films she was the
fcweet little girl who spurred Buddy
Rogers, Jack Oakie and other lead
ing men of that era on to more
touchdowns for dear old Paramount.

Movie Opinion
Vote Close: One
J LUMBEBTON, N. C. W) The
(City Council called for a public
(opinion poll on the question of Sun
'day movies for guidance in pass
jing an ordinance.
tie suns 01 yesterday s pon
showed 679 in favor and 678
flgRinst.
Auto Insurance rates were re
duced at Hans Norland's without
reducing the quality of the cov
erage, 627 Pine 'St.
What happened when, alter 10
years of stardom at a single
studio, she got the word that she
was through?
"Well, not much,' says Mary.
"It was kind of a wrench to be
told Paramount didn't want me
like being told to leave home. I
worked at several other studios
and later returned to my old home
lot for a couple of pictures. So,
you see, nobody was mad at any
body." After a few stage plays, she
retired for her first marriage, to
Jon Whitcomb, a magazine illus
trator. The marriage lasted three
months. Mary went to Reno. She
never discussed that short-lived
event with her friends. They don't
know what happened.
In 1947, Mary married George
Tomasini. a film editor, and they
live quietly in the San Fernando
Valley.
Mary saved a good slice of her
film income. "I never threw money
away," she admits. And indeed she
didn't, she drove Inexpensive cars,
lived in quiet homes and never
even yearned for a swimming pool.
In retirement; Mary resumed
painting, a pastime of her busier
days. Friends say her work has
a professional quality. She special
izes in portraits, but refuses to sell
or give away a single work. And so
has a whole houseful of paintings.
When Mary made a brief TV
appearance, it gave an alert egent
the idea of casting Mary as Cor
liss mother. Would she like it?
Mary said she would if the part
was interesting. When she was
called for tests, she asked whai
she was supposed to wear. "What
ever you wear around the house,"
she was told.
"But the director didn't know
that around the house I wear
shorts and pedal pushers," Maryj
says. "I had to rush out and buy ;
what I am told are house dresses. '
Well, not exactly house dresses, ;
but some nicely tailored things..
I'm sure Mrs. Archer will never j
be caught in shorts." 1

McCarthy
Censure Vote
WASHINGTON W Sen. Fland
ers (R-Vn said Wednesday "sen
mors can't claim neutrality" on
his resolution proposing a formal
vote of censure against Sen. Mc
Carthy IR-Wisi.
Flanders told newsmen he is de
termined to press his resolution to
Its promised vote on Friday. He
said he will contend then that anv
senator absent from the roll call
vote without good reason will have
"voted to dodge" the issue.
He said senators lit effect "have
to vote 'yes,' 'no1 or 'dodge-it','
on the resolution.
Sen. Knowland of California, the
Senate ReDublican loader, has
promised that Flanders can have
a vote on the issue Friday, pos
sibly in the form of a motion by
Knowland to kill the resolution.
Such a motion is not debatable.
Flanders said he hopes, how
ever, to get time to make a speech
to "pinpoint some of the reasons
he thinks the Senate should de
clare that McCarthy has been
guilty of conduct unbecoming a
senator as chairman oi the Senate
investigations subcommittee.
Flanders said he has "assur
ances from the Democratic side"
that Democrats won't use the is
sue as an excuse for a long de
bate to prolong this session of
Congress. He said he expects
Knowland will let the resolution
come up Friday as scheduled, and
"I expect a vote on it the same
day."
Sen. Capehart (R-Ind) has an
nounced he may offer an amend
ment proposing that the Senate
also censure Flanders for unbe
coming conduct in his attacks on
McCarthy. Flanders said he has
heard about that "and I will ask
that Sen. Capehart's amendment
be rejected."
There was no further comment
from McCarthy, who says he at
tributes Flanders' blasts at him to
"senility."
