Mary Pickford Will Produce on Her Own (Continued from Page 1) some of her recent extra-curricular activities, such as war relief work, Miss Pickford will rest during the Summer on the Coast, for which she plans to leave with her husband, Buddy Rogers, next week. "At present, I have under consideration production of 'Coquette'," Miss Pickford said. "If I can find an original story that I think is as strong, I prefer to do it rather than a re-make. But to date, no such story has presented itself." Discussing her relations with Murray Silverstone, who recently stepped down as UA's chief exec, to enter production, Miss Pickford said she was working with him solely in a financial and advisory capacity. Reports current both on the Coast and in New York that Harry Goetz would take Silverstone's old UA berth was described as "groundless" by the UA co-owner. There will be no UA board move to fill the company's top title permanently until the Selznick-Capra deal is a fait accompli, Miss Pickford stated. This, she added, may be a matter of days or weeks. The contracts are under advisement. Mary Pickford, accompanied by Buddy Rogers, arrived in New York over the week-end to confer with her counsel, Edward C. Raftery, who returned from the Coast late last week. Miss Pickford goes to Harrisburg and later to Gettysburg late this week.
