STAR ! | DUST | $ jMLovie • Radio * ★ ★ ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE^** S O GREAT has been the suc cess of “A Star Is Bora/* all the Hollywood studios are busy making pictures concern ing the private lives of film stars. Just copy cats, that*s what the film producers are. First one of these pictures to. reach the screen is “Hollywood Cowboy” with George O’Brien as; the star and it is a very enter-, taining Western. Most pretentious of them all is “Stand In” which boasts Leslie Howard and Joan Blondell in the cast. Most soothing to the ears is “Music for Madame” in which Nino Martini lifts his voice in song, and the biggest novelty is Grand National’s “Something to Sing About.” Divorces don’t interfere with busi ness judgment in Hollywood. For instance, when Wil liam Wyler was asked what player he would like to , have in the leading’ role of “Having a Wonderful Time” he said that only Mar garet Sullavan, his ex - wife, had the beauty and acting skill required for the role. Up spoke Hen ry Fonda, another ex-husband of Mar garet’s, to say that he would like to play opposite her. So, just to complete the cycle, they telephoned her present husband,. Le- land Hayward, who is her manager, and asked him if she would be free to make the picture before going back to New York for stage en gagements and he said he would bn happy to arrange it. “The Toast of New York” star ring Frances Farmer is a fascinat ing picture. It deals with the pie- turesque period when Jim Fisk was becoming a big shot in Wan Street, when business men went arsnad brandishing buggy whips when they weren’t conniving to get control of a railroad, or wreck each ether’s fortunes. All over the country box-office records are being broken by “Sara toga,” the picture on which Jean Harlow was working at the time of her tragic death. Her fans would be happier, I think, to see one of her old pictures again, a gay, light hearted picture like “Bombshell” or “Reckless,” for in “Saratoga” die is but a pallid shadow of her former self. —tt— After arguing for weeks about her salary demands, RKO have at last signed Ruby Keeler to make two pictures a year for them. She won't be in the next Fred Astaire pas ture, however, for Joan .Fontaine has that leading role nailed down. Joan has been working like a beaver, taking dancing and singing lessons preparing for this trig chance. Ruby’s first will be “Love Below Freezing,” the picture which will bring little Mitzi Green back to the screen. —K— . A few weeks ago Josephine Hutch inson was busily reading plays, planning to go back to the stage be cause she was so depressed over the parts Warner Brothers had given her. But when her Warner contract expired, M-G-M signed her up and now she says she won’t go back to the stage until she is old enough to play character roles. —*— Freddie Bartholomew’s guardian has lost one round of her battle to get M-G-M to pay him more money. The studio has taken him out of the cast of “Thoroughbreds Don’t Cry” and giv en the role to Doug las Scott who played in ‘Wee Freddie Bartholomew Willie Winkie.” As soon as Freddie Bartholo mew started making big money, his par ents, who had left his care in the en tire charge of his aunt from his infancy, swooped down on the household and wanted the privilege of spending his mon ey. A court fight followed wherein his aunt tried to protect him, and she did win his guardianship. ODDS AND ENDS—Paramount on location are running into plenty trouble: "The Buccaneer” company near New Orleans had their camera barga wrecked in a sudden storm. An earth quake in Alaska held up work on “Spanm of the North.” Furnace-like weather o» the California desert knocked out severai members of the "Wells Fargo” troupe, and expense checks did not arrive in time tm cover production expenses of Clyde Elliot and his gang in Singapore . . .
