FEB -2 im ©C1B 4 04829^ The Smart Screen Magazine ELIGHT EVANS, Editor Elizabeth Wilson, Western Representative Tom Kennedy, Assistant Editor Frank J. Carroll, Art Director REVEALING THE REAL MYSTERY BEHIND THE CASTING OF SCARLETT O'HARA! Why all the mystery, the conflicting rumors, the delays in casting an actress for the most-discussed role in years? "Gone with the Wind" has become an American legend, and the question of who would play the famous character has occupied the attention not only of Hollywood but of the rest of the world for an incredible period. Now the actress has been chosen. Now the cameras are rolling. And NOW the real truth can be told — and will be, in the next, the April issue of Screenland. All you have read before about the casting of Scarlett can be put aside, for here you will read the amazing true story, for the first time. ALSO— FIRST AND ONLY INTERVIEW WITH WAYNE MORRIS ON HIS ROMANTIC MARRIAGE TO PRETTY HEIRESS! Young "Kid Galahad" didn't want to discuss his romantic, youthful marriage — his bride, a charming girl from private life, urged him not to turn their romance into a publicity stunt. But we finally convinced Wayne that the public appreciates clean young love and wants to hear about it as well as about Hollywood's more hectic amours; and so you will read, in our April issue (on sale March 3rd) the only interview given by Wayne Morris about his marriage.
