Rob Wagner, editor of the smart West coast magazine, "Script," found out for us how the producers really feel about the Catholic blacklisting and where it is pinching them the most . . . Nina Wilcox Putnam is fortunate in having known Katharine Hepburn and her family intimately — here is a new angle on the famous Hepburn temperament .... Gilbert Seldes is a New York critic of the "Seven Lively Arts"; he is now working on a profile of his good friend, Roland Young .... We introduce a new section where you may always turn for beauty information and style and home decoration as it comes to us from the pens of distinguished stars — "The Portfolio of Fashion and Beauty" .... Next Month: We will start an absolutely unique contest in April. Do you look like a movie star, or does some member of your family or a friend? Look about you and then read our announcement in April. ... If you enjoyed the bright dialogue in "It Happened One Night" (and who didn't?) you will want to start the new serial by its author, Samuel Hopkins Adams. It is not a fictionization of a picture, but the novel itself, which was sold to RKO, and will go into production this spring. It is about a neurotic young star, entitled "In Person." W. H.
