NOTHING TO SAY"

NOTHING TO SAY"
 "Tother day a local paper man ran a yarn where in Maxine Glass, attractive 21-year-old University of Southern California coed, admit ted that the diamond ring adorn- ing the fourth finger of her left hand was a Christmas present from Richard Dix. But she would not Isay whether twas an engagement or just a ring. Richard dodged telephone calls the day after this story appeared. Richard has been lsleuthed to Illuminate engagement rumors ere this. When cornered he i just looks little surprised and confesses: T have nothing to say. In my time I've rumored the Dix boy engaged to more girls than you can shake a stick at. I don't join in the present rumor fest. Mebbe this time I'm wrong.
 Richard is preparing to begin work on his next RKO outloud T Love You" from a play by Will liam Lebanon, president of that kumpny. Curiously enough, years ago Dix was in the Broadway run Of this play He went into pie turcs when it closed and a year or two later signed Famous Players contract. He reckoned as how he would continue the parts he had portrayed in "The Christian, "The Ten Commandments" and sech, but it so cllanced that at the same time he joined Fabous Lebaron also joined.
 Lebaron was put in charge of the Dix unit and 1t was he who determined that Richard should enact typical American roles of breeze, romance and lil plot in preference to his more sterner en- deavors.
 Quite appropriate, then, that after a time lapse Dix goes to work in a screen version of T Love You, with Lebaron piloting the flicker chip. Mel Brown will direct Nc leading woman has been corralled but this bureau picked up yarn that intimates Barbara Kent (whc heroined for Harold Lloyd in "Wel- come, Dancer,p) will repeat foi Dix.

George Bancroft, the big gun of the famous program, has come out oT the hospital. A little 11-year- old chap, named Billy Butts, was the unintentional cause of Ban crofts hospital sojourn.
 George had a scene in Para mounts revue that pointed up' his much exploited he-man tough ness. The idea was this. Billy Butts swaggered out before the camera and engaged George in con versation. He gave him a shin kick. George merely smiled.
