Andrew e. Kelley James Dunn,
New York juvenile actor, and
Sally Eilers. Dunn had a tiny
role in Arthur Hammerstein's
"Sweet Adeline," so insignificant
that he was not given a mention
by the reviewers. But Winnie
Sheehan, of the Fox forces. al
ways on the lookout for film tai
ent, spotted him as a picture
prospect and arranged for a test.
Dunn was then given the lead in
bad Girl" and hit like a million
dollars. Since the release OF the
picture he has been announced
as assigned to the important task
of playing in the next Janet Gay
nor feature, thus challenging the
Charlie Farrell partnership.
Sally Eilers has been flirting
around Hollywood lots for
months without causing any
furore. In Bad Girl" she scores
her first important hit.

John Boles Let Out

Universal has passed up its
option on John Boles and the
actor-singer is at liberty. Boles
had one of those sweet contracts
issued when movieland was hys-
terical over actors who could
sing. It guaranteed him 100000
q year regardless Of how many
weeks he worked. Carl Laemmle'
jr., insisted the guarantee be
waived in the new agreement.
Boles refused to I'D, hence the
option was passed up.
There is talk that Actor Boles'
immediate interest Is in a radio
offer, a la Dennis King. AS a
matter of fact Boles never clicked
satisfactorily in Universal pic
lures. When he was passed over
as the lead for Strictly Dis
honorable" under the flimsy
excuse of a toothache, Hollywood
saw the handwriting on he
wall.

HOLLYWOOD, CAL, Aug. 20
Hollywood casting directors still
can take lessons from that mas
ter picker, Florenz Ziegfeld.
Last year, the producer came
out to Hollywood and bore away
with him three girls, whom he
thought worthy of glorification.
All had done extra work, but
were unable to get any further
in pictures.
This week, however, Hollywood
repaired it's oversight by taking
back one of the girls. She is
Virginia Bruce, and she has a
brand new contract with Metro
Goldwyn-M Mayer, calling for parts
instead of extra work. Irving
Thalberg himself signed the
agreement.
AS soon as the ink was dry,
Virginia boarded a train to pay
New York a final visit. She is
due back here September / to
start the hazardous climb to star
dom.
