MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
By MoLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September as
(N.AN.A)-The Clara Bow gambling
escapade goes over into broad comedy
comedy with the flaming Clara pic
tured with backgrounds of roulette
wheels, ~baccarat boxes, boule tables,
and-the browning touch-a pair of
dice on each Of her snub-nosed oxfords.
And Clara, who has kept a sort of
modest retirement since the blazoning
of her Calneva adventure, admits from
the depths Of a pretty embarrassment
which she cloakS IN electric blue paja-
mas that she thought 50-cent pieces
were Just that. and not 500 chips, as
the bold, bad gambling men who have
caused all the trouble declare them
60 be. s@'y
Being an ''it' girl involves a certain
amount Of laisseZ-faire where finance
is concer1eds So perhaps It is quite In
the picture that such little lady would
give q gambling. house signed checks
which they were to MI In at their own
sweet leisure. One can't be bothered
with sex appeal and bookkeeping at the
same time.
The Bow affair took on all the angles
of the good old movie formula. There
reason g the fact somebody suggested
in an cf-hand sort of way that Clara
Bows drinks had been tempered with.
There was mystery by reason Of the
fact that Rex Bell, the herman cowboy
who Is Clara's latest boy friend, disap-
peared on the scene completely.
The East Lynne touch came in when
Pa Bow announced that he would
stand by his gal, on words to that e.
feet, and protect her from making rash
statements about all this ifsaez had to.
lock her in her room.
And since no scenario Is complete
without its touch Of comedy, the broad
laugh enters with viii Rogers frank
statement that he guessed he won't lose
any social position by saying that he
had Clara and Rex Bell to dinner that
night at Calneva, but that introducing
Clara to anybody Is like introducing
President Hoover to the Senate" which
leaves Us to imagine that Clara made
