As a result her native talent will continue to develop and grow. On one of her vacations from "Blackouts" Marie visited New York and saw "Born Yesterday." She was enchanted with the Judy Holliday role. "She was so wonderful," Marie says, "that I cried all the way home in the taxicab." The next day she sat down at the desk in her hotel suite to write one of her rare letters — to Garson Kanin, the author of the play. "I have just seen Billie Holliday," the note began. (Marie is terrible about names. She's always introducing her friend Gertrude Niesen as Gertrude Lawrence and Douglas Dick as Douglas Fairbanks.) But here was the letter: Dear Mr. Kanin: I have just seen Billie Holliday in "Born Yesterday" and she's so great. She's so great. But maybe she doesn't want to he in pictures, and maybe if she does she wants nine million dollars, and Mr. Kanin ij you make "Born Yesterday" into a picture I will play the part for nothing. Marie Wilson Mr. Kanin replied that when they were considering people for the "Billie Holliday" part, Marie would not be forgotten. Meanwhile, of course, Columbia has bought the screen rights to "Born Yesterday" and Harry Cohn, who invested half a million in the play, wants to protect his investment with a big star name like Rita Hayworth or Lana Turner. Like Betty Hutton with "Annie, Get Your Gun," Marie has been eating her heart out for that plum role in "Born Yesterday." Maybe, like Betty, she'll get it. The part is right for her, as no part has been right since "Boy Meets Girl," and she knows it. She doesn't waste time envying the Misses Hayworth and Turner — but she does hint that maybe "they're such ladies that the public wouldn't believe that they'd take that from a man." Her chances of coming in as a long shot when "Born Yesterday" finally goes into production are very slim, she admits. But she is hoping against hope. "Maybe, if they wait long enough — and maybe if Rita and Lana are busy on something else and maybe if 'Irma' really is a hit, well maybe." One of her friends suggested that maybe the time had come to start her fans writing letters again. It worked with "Boy Meets Girl." At this Marie shuddered. Her fans tried that once with Harry Cohn, when Marie was in the running for "Tillie the Toiler." After a few days of mail had piled up, Mr. Cohn called Marie's agent and yelled at him. Loud. "Come and get these blankety-blank letters off my desk," he screamed. "I wouldn't hire that girl even if she were good." Marie says he was right. She had seen her test for "Tillie" and she admits that she was awful. "I wore a black wig, and tried to talk fast, and oh, dear." But she wishes Mr. Cohn would burn up that old test film, and take another look. Now she's good, and she knows it. She's good and despite her otherwise angelic disposition, when her work is involved she's tough. In the nearly eight years' run of "Blackouts" the members of the cast remember seeing Marie angry only BE PROTECnO IN CASE OF SICKNESS .r ACCIDENT AMAZINGr HOSPITALIZATION PLAN Z7y ' NO TIME LIMIT ON HOSPITAL ROOM and BOARD ANY HOSPITAL IN U.
