IS NEARING
FINISH

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 21.-For
three years, now, "Hell's An
gels" has been in the process Of
becoming a celluloid product.
Nary once has this slumberous
bureau dispatched an observer
to CLEAN what's what.
Yester-afternoon being full o.
balm and no one else in the de-
partment willing to sacrifice
siesta for sinema, the headman
went a-traipSing to the Metro
politan lot. And SO, in due
course, to the stage housing
Howard Hughes, Ben Lyon,
James Hall, Jean Harlow, and
umpty-ump others.
Discovered-That "HelPs An
gels" will positively be in the
'box" in three weeks. You can
believe it or not. This depart
ment remains neutral.
Jummy Hall is dual-ing in
celluloid these days. No sooner
does he finish his day in Mr..
Hughes expensive flick, than
he bustles over to the Famous
lot and changes into evening
clothes. Jummy Is master-of-
ceremonies for this kumpny'S
initial revue, paramount on
Parade" Little is known OF
this out-loud, except it has been
in production several months
and the end isn't in sight yet.
At all events, yesterday saw
Jim my maSter-of- -ceremonying
Maurice Chevalier into the re-.
vue. Jimmy was called upon
to say it in French, and his
troubles are unprintable. Che
valier and his wife boarded the
Chief that same eve, bound for
New York and the popular
Frenchman's next starring ef-
fort. He has two numbers in
Paramount'S revue. One with
Evelyn Brent. The other a song
and chorus Stage-full.
AS soon as Jimmy is through
with "Hell's Angels" he goes to
work in his next famous picture,
Lets Go Native" with jeanette
Macdonald. His contract ex-
pires the end of the year. In
the event his option isn't taken
up, Hall intends returning to
the stage in musical comedy. He
will, sample the footlightS again
the first week in December, at
which time he headlines at the
local Orpheum theater in a pre-
fictitious song and dance act.
The boy is there at that racket.
Mcbbe Not Long
Perhaps it won't be long ere
Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon up
and get hitched. 1t was last
New. Years eve, at Aqua
Caliente, that the two first met.
Both were there with separate
parties. but both sorta teamed.
The meeting resulted in others
and pretty soon their engage
ment was the favorite para
graph rumor. But Ben and
Bebe had decided not to think
Of matrimony until they had
known each other a year. If
they felt like taking the alter
promenade. then-okeh. And
they do, it seems. The years eX-
pertinent expires January 1St,
1880, at which time they will
again be in Caliente for New
Years whoopee. Ben SCOTS at
the notion they'll be married
there and then, however. He
and that liz Daniels gal have
other plans up their sleeves.
New Start?
A wire from one of this bu-
reau's alert New York CORE
Spondents says that Gamma
Walska, the flame of operatic
aspirants, returns to this coun-
try soon. A local Manhattan
group is anxious for her to
visit Hollywood and stay long
enough to make an all color
picture of her recent Paris
play. Countess CaStiglione."
Madame WalSka'S husband Is
millionaire Mccormack. He has
seen her through Lucia" and
other gargle claSSics-and this
despite critical stone casting. So.
