The three street musicians labored
through several popular songs and
disbanded for a few moments to take
up a collection. One knocked on the
door of a near-by house. A gruff
man appeared and thundered:
“Well what do you want?”
“I’ve come for a little gratuity.”
“Gratuity! Why, my good man,
1 thought you came to apologize.”—

”And what did yon think of Ven

“Venice?” repeated Mrs. Green

“We stopped there, but there was
a flood on: so we didn’t leave the
station.”

★★★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.

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.

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 . . . Bob Bums
and his bazooka have a rival! Mischo
Auer has invented a pop-o-phone and
plays it whenever offered the slightest
encouragement. It consists of a row of
pop bottles containing varying amounts of
•eater.
