Paramount and Samuel Goldwyn sat across the conference table recently for a heart to heart talk and it now seems probable that an amicable settlement of the former's $5,000,000 lawsuit against Mr. Goldwyn will be negotiated out of court. Pending the outcome of further negotiations, it is understood that Paramount has agreed to tentatively withdraw the action, which charged Goldwyn with luring Gary Cooper from the Adolph Zukor fold. While details remain to be ironed out, it was said: Paramount will get Cooper for two pictures, "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" this year and "Beau Geste" next year. and that Goldwyn will receive the services of Director Henry Hathaway for three pictures the first being "Trans-Atlantic Flight," starring Cooper. During the conference it developed that Para-fount may have Cooper for an extra picture.
