Father Day, rambunctious kingpin of Broadway's five-year-young Life with Father, fetched a record price to splutter in Technicolor for Warner Bros. Warners will give the owners (Mrs. Clarence Day, Producer Oscar Serlin, Dramatists Howard Lindsay & Russel Grouse) $500,000 down and half the gross, cannot release Father before 1947, must obey the owners' Ten Commandments (sternest commandment: thou shalt not film any script of which we disapprove...
Married. Colonel Elliott Roosevelt, 34, the President's second son, father of four; and Faye Emerson, 27, blond, shapely Louisiana-born cinemactress, mother of one; he for the third time, she for the second; at Yavapai observation station, Grand Canyon, Ariz. Blessed with a ten-day Warner Bros, honeymoon, Miss Emerson, who met the Colonel 14 months ago, cooed: "We both have our jobs to do, Elliott and I. Other men's wives have continued their film careers after marriage. I mean to do just that-at least until after the war is over." Asked if she looked...
...Syndicate. Marshall Field should have plenty of competition. By last week smart, suave Bennett Cerf, president of Random House, had lined up a potent phalanx of publishers-Charles Scribner's Sons, Little Brown & Co., Book-of-the-Month Club and Harper & Bros.-to meet the Field invasion.

...Have and Have Not (Warner), having jettisoned a solid 90% of the Ernest Hemingway novel, for which Warner Bros, paid plenty, may make devotees of Hemingway the sourest boycotters since Carrie Nation.* But the sea change which Producer-Director Howard Hawks supervised-for the benefit of Humphrey Bogart, Hoagy (Star Dust) Carmichael, and a sensational newcomer named Lauren Bacall (rhymes with McCall)-results in the kind of tinny romantic melodrama which millions of cinemaddicts have been waiting forever since Casablanca (TIME...
Last week Random House's bouncy President Bennett Cerf, editor of the Modern Library, suddenly announced that Grosset & Dunlap had been acquired by a three-firm combination: Random House, Book-of-the-Month Club (575,000 membership) and staid old Harper & Bros. The reprint house, purred Mr. Cerf, with no bow to Mr. Field, would remain in experienced book-publishing hands, would therefore retain its "high standards and traditions." Smart Publisher Cerf looked frankly pleased at having beaten Mr. Field to a buy, chatted happily about "enormous postwar markets," predicted that books would soon be "a flounder business rather...
