Associate Press photograph titled 'Time out for refreshment'. Caption on back reads: Sir Laurence Olivier, and his wife, Vivien Leigh, share an orange while rehearsing for their radio show "Rebecca" scheduled for Nov 6 over the LUX Radio Theatre from Hollywood. A few minutes after the rehearsal started Sir Laurence doffed his coat to try to get some relief from the heat, which had reached 92 degrees a few hours earlier. Both Olivier and Miss Leigh are making pictures in Hollywood, but at different studios. He is starring in "Carrie" and she in "A Streetcar Named Desire". They plan to return to England later in November.
