Not to be outdone by rival pro
ducers who are announcing con-
templated Hollywood acquisitions,

it be known that the new Fol-
lies, if and when produced some
time in the early fall, will have

The big chin and grin man
as Sam Rubin likes to call him.
Is one of the best box office bets
on the Paramount payroll, fact
I discovered Saturday afternoon
when the ticket taker at Loew's
Palace had his box crowded out
beyond the cooling lobby to the
edge of sun-kiSsed F Street pave
ments. continued on to neigh
boring house where the 2 p. m.
throngs we're less dense,
Mention of the Oakie popu-
alrity is pertinent because the
wonder is why Paramount should
release such drawing card to
the So musical comedies. The
answer seems to be that Mr..
Oakie being willing, he can work
for Mr.. Ziegfeld in the evenings
and matinees and utilize his other
daylight hours making picturse at
the Paramount Astoria studios.
The arrangement is said to be
agreeable to Paramount.
The last appearance of Mr..
Oakie in a Broadway show was
with Peggy Ann" when he was
q humble chorus man." Then
the movies discovered him and
he has come up in the world.

seem to be careless about little
details. Thus in Holiday" when
the plate is passed during the
church services you may notice
that somebody placed stage
money in the collection.
And it is the sharp-eyed Kay
Marlborough who observed the slip

the plug fails to catch and falls
