Has Nelson Eddy Quit the Screen? [Continued from, page 30] modern story or dates back to the Garden of Eden. Some people think period pictures are out for the Duration, but I believe that a good period picture is excellent escapist fare. I want to be the kind of hero who fights for the right, gets into a few jams, is a little foolish at times, stubs his toe and makes mistakes. "Maybe the picture I want to do will come along in a month — in a year — or maybe in five years. If I have to wait five years for a good script," Nelson chuckled, "my hairline may have receded to here." He indicated the back of his head. "Or I may have to be wheeled on the set. But if I have to wait until I'm walking on crutches before I get a good script, that's how long I'll wait." The chances are that you won't have to wait five years or even a year to see another Nelson Eddy picture. Leading men are scarce these days, and nearly every studio is frantically trying to put together a script that Nelson will accept. Many fans have wondered whether Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald would ever appear together in another picture. Although Nelson first appeared on the screen without Jeanette (in Dancing Lady) , his first real screen success came with Jeanette in Naughty Marietta. That's his favorite picture, and he says he hasn't really liked any picture he's made since then. Naughty Marietta boosted both Nelson and Jeanette to a greater success than any other singing team ever enjoyed on the screen, and that success went right on through the years. When they were together in pictures, fans were happy. When Nelson had another leading lady, complaints were loud. When Jeanette played opposite another man, they were equally vociferous. Nelson feels that Jeanette is the finest feminine star for film operettas. "We get along like a house afire. If I'm offered a script with a good part in it for Jeanette, I'll be delighted to be her leading man," he declares. Nelson's answer to the question, is he through with the screen, is, "If I can't get a good script, then I'm through with pictures. I don't have to do what anybody tells me any longer. But I believe that sooner or later, a good story will come along." When it does, Nelson Eddy will zoom to greater popularity than ever! | TOP THAT 10% BY NEW YEARS V\> They can't Blackout Romance while girls have Adorable HANDS 'I pity the girl who has red, rough hands," declares Arleen Whelan, brilliant young Hollywood star.
