GOT

All her life Dorothy Sebastian
who has one of the leading roles
in "Our Dancing Daughters, a
Cosmopolitan picture made for
M-G.M, which is now playing at
Loew's Columbia Theater, has
''just walked into things"
She began it in New York when
she walked into Ned Wayburn' 8
fashion show and was the first
girl hired; and from the fashion
show she just walked into George
whites Scandals, and then into
pictures.
Miss Sebastian left her home In
Birmingham, Ala. to study art in
New York, but there was the
secret ambition TO go on the stage
which she didn't seem able to
curb. After having tried all the
. agencies and being forced to say

had dramatic experience, she got
a job in the fashion show.

said, land decided / wanted to

the other girls that / didn't know

Dorothy was standing there
back stage very much interested
in the sights when a man walked
up to her and said,
What do you want here?"

she answered. II want to work in

Miss Sebastian had just enough
breath left TO stammer, why

Alright, Alabam', step over in
that line; you're hired"
From then on Dorothy Sebastian
was known to Broadway as
"Alabam'. -
And then the movie bug bit her
and she came to Hollywood. She
had heard that Henry King was
making tests for parts in Sack.

a test and got it and a few days
later her presence was requested
at the studio.
When she was told that she had
been assigned to the part of Polly
Freeman, a very large part, she
said, "Oh, / can't do such a big
part. l didn't think I'd get one

But she did the part and did
1t so well that she was given
many other parts. She was back
in New York making pictures

her her present contract.

Charles Bochert, press repre-
sentative for Earl Carroll,
comes to the center of the plat
form to enter an official denial
of responsibility for the bogus
engagement of Colonel Lind
bergh to a Broadway actress.
Here's Mr.. Bochert's letter:
81 have just had called to my
attention your column of Octo-
Der s in which you note that
the Earl Carroll press agents
were chuckling over putting it
over on the newspapers with
the story of Blanche Satchel
marrying Lindbergh.'
"I guess I've chuckled, like
everybody else, but not over
that and / guess | stood
by neutral and permitted re-
porters to mislead themselves
for a story as often as any
other press agent-but hope
my experience has taught me
enough to know better than
to attempt a fake on any one
so famous and popular as
Colonel Lindbergh."
"When the reporters began
flocking about on the Satchel
story, nobody was more sur
prised that Sidney SkoIsky (my
associate) and myself 4. we
had no idea what it was all
about. At once we both realized
what unfavorable reaction would
ensue from such a thing If it
were untrue At the suR-
gestion of Mr.. Earl Carroll we
disclaimed any contribution to
the rumor but in trying
to be courteous to the news
paper men we permitted them
to meet Miss Satchel to ascer-
tain from her personally the
facts. / do not think any one
was present when she talked
with the reporter you quote in
your column, except the reporter
and Miss Satchel."
"These are the facts, absO-.
lutely unadulterated. / hope we
are intelligent enough to foresee
unfavorable reaction in attempt
ing to involve notable so popu-
lar as Lindbergh.

Grudge Against Tammany
Causes Californian to
Back Hoover.
BY RAY TUCKER

PALO ALTO, CAL, July 81
The scars of Madison Square
Garden have not healed among dry
Democrats Of California, led by
William G. McAdoo.
Still sulking in his Spanish home
at Santa Barbara, the man who
battled AL Smith for more than 100
ballots in 1924 is expected to carry
mis- grudges into the fall election.
Though he will not talk for publica-
ton, his closest friends and political
supporters have declared they would
vote for Herbert Hoover, the Re-
publican nominee.
McAdoo Aid Shuns Smith.
Il can not support Smith," said
John o. Davis of San Francisco,
former Democratic State chairman
and leader of the Walsh McAdoo
primary fight against the New York
Governor.
"He represents Tammany and
that faction of the party has OPP
posed the policies for which we
stand. 1t fought such outstanding
Democrats as Tilden, Cleveland,
Wilson and McAdoo. To my mind,
it represents the wet and reaction
airy group in our party"
Nathan Newly of Los Angeles,
an intimate friend of McAdoo and
an outstanding dry Democrat,
echoed Davis attack, and will sup
port Hoover. Almost every day
finds the former allies of Smiths
1924 foe aligning themselves with
the Republican nominee.
Women Backing Hoover
In many counties the spokesman
for women's Democratic groups here
flocked to the Hoover standard in
large numbers. Among these is Mrs.
Katherine Braddock of Stockton. A
member of the Democratic State
committee, who has repudiated the
party leader and his stand on pro-
hibtion.
The western revolt against Smith
and Tammany matches that in the
southwest where ex-senator Owen
has declared for Hoover, and in the
South where Senator Simmons and
other party chieftains have in
Dictated they might remain away
from the polls on November 6.
In this part of the country, how
ever, the likelihood of a Demo-
cratic swing to Hoover is stronger
than in the South, for there is no
Negro problem to give pause
to Californians dissatisfied with
Smiths leadership.
