. 'fSkipp'y" on Screen

Percy l.. Crosby, creator Of
"Skippy," who attracted some
front page headlines Tuesday by
having his wringing wet speech
barred by radio, will soon have
his loveable kid character trans
ferred to the screen.
Paramount has the screen
rights to the cartoonist's strip.
and a few months ago made ma
tion.wide search for a boy to
play "Skippy.' More than 10000
responded to this chance for a
star role In the movies, but all,
for one reason or another, were
found unacceptable. So the pic
ture was taken off the production
schedule.
With the demand for pictures
that will start the children march
ing to the box offices, %Skippy"
has been picked up again. Para
mount is negotiating with Hal
Roach % have Jackie Cooper Of
"Our Gang" play "Skippy."

MAKE GOOD
nv ANnREW r, KELLEY

1t. is a pleasure to report that
two distinguished members OF The
washington Times ~lumni associa-
ton are doing well, thank you.
Reference is to George s. Kauf-
man, former dramatic editor and
columnist of The Times, and
Laurence Stallings, who served in
various editorial capacities, but
whom I like to recall ais rim
member Of the copy desk.
Stallings made the adaptation
ofsErnest Hemingway's best seller,
Farewell to Arms" which ap-
pears to have the earrnarks Of a
Broadway hit. The movie rights
have been sold to Paramount for
$7S, 900, with Producer A. H.
woods, Adaptator Stallings. and
Author Hemingway each getting
one.third Of this Hollywood peH.
Presumably some rewriting and
tolIing down will be necessary for
the screen and again is another
opportunity for the versatile Mr..
Stallings to gather small change.
George Kaufman has written
80 many hits that another one is
hardly news. "Opce in a Life
time is his latest, and, besides
writing and directing it, the many
sided Mr.. Kaufmsa plays one Of
the important roles. The play is
O rnerciless satire on Hollywood,
treating the .celluloid magnates
with something akin to contempt
in the quest for laughs. The ma
jority of the critics found 1t
gorgeous fun, but the concensus
is that this play will not bring
10 cents if offered to movie pro-
ducers, who are usually eager to
grab Broadway successes.
sQueer People," best seller,

that nobody else acquired a

GR0UCH0 MARX
GIVEN K.0.BY
MARKET

Groucho Marx admits that his
irascible disposition is caused by
his inability to become success
full guesser on the stock market.
That's why we're still on the
STAGE" he grumbled at Para
mounts New York studio recently
when he was engaged in produc-
ing Animal Crackers" as a mo-
ton picture. If were a better
guesser we'd all have villas on the
Riviera. AS it is we get a little
money ahead, and then poof, it's
gone"
The other three brothers have
little fellow feeling for Groucho's
financial ambitions and protest
vigorously when, in a moment Of
freedom at the studio. he heads
Wall Streetward.
Until recently Gfoucho lodged
this difficulty by appearing in
golf knickers and announcing
that he was on the way to the
country club. The secret came
out when Harpo discovered chalk
and ticker ink on the sport outfit.
In spite Of Groucho's foreboding
mien, the Marx Brothers are by
no means on the verge Of penury.
The Cocoanuts" was a howlirg
success, both on stage and screen.
Animal Crackers" played to Ca
pacity crowds on the stage. and
the Paramount talking picture
edition, is doing the same thing
at Loew's Columbia.

lively happenings occur III
Heads Up" Rogers latest Ve'

While the star sings and makes
love in the best Rogers fashion,
two others featured in the cast
come dangerously close to steal
ink the show. They are that
grand old veteran, Victor Moore.
and this own generations novelty
songstress, Helen Kane. The
leading lady is Margaret Breen.
The picture is adapted from
the musical comedy of last sea
son. It's scarcely worth while
to try to make sense of the
story. For the young romantics
of the town, however, no doubt
Mr.. Rogers will be sufficient. Vet
eran Moore is generally supplied
with laughing matter, and does
his artful best with it, while Miss
Kane is allowed to boop-boopa-
doop to her little hearts content.
One of the biggest laughs OF
the new movie season goes to
Moore's companionate life saver,
and the best gag Of the month
is the radio that talks back to
dear old Victor. E.

new master of ceremonies intro

WILL TRY CHEMICALS
TO KILL OUT WEEDS

Control of weeds through the
use of chtmicals is being demon
strated in a limited way in Roose-
welt county through the extension
service cooperating with individu-
al farmers. While this method is
not presumed to be applicable to
large areas it has been found to
be useful in controlling weed
patches just established. While
the effected are small, they
can easily be treated and from
results obtained elsewhert it is be-
lieved that further spread can be
stopped.
Calcium chlorate, recommended
by government botanists as a
weed killer, will be applied on
several where SOW thistle,
quack grass, canadian thistle or
bind weeds have become estab-
lished. Results will be noted at
the close of the 1880 growing
season and fefects one year later
will be studied.
Results in other counties indi-
cate that chemical weed killers
are an efficient and economical
method of handling recently es-
