Gandhi Tells Us

Mahatma Gandhi. who wears
no more clothes than an Earl Car
roll chorus girl, may be seen in
the Fox movietone news reel, this
week, playing with his toes while
he is interviewed by an industri.
Gus reporter. He doesn't say much
but the fact that he overcame his
traditional dislike for publicity to
the extent of facing microphones
and cameras is considered hope
6ul sign.
The newsreel men whisper that
the ex-kaiser is among those who
as eager to talk to American audi
bnces via the screen and also the
radio. But the State Department
Is said unofficially to be adverse
20 any such exploitation for Will
helm at this time.

Leon Brusiloff is leading the
Fox band in his ice cream suit, so
that summer may be said to have
arrived officially. His band is

about next season, but Private
Lives" and "Three's a Crowd"
have already been booked for
early fall showing at the Ma
tional. Jackie Cooper, who made
everybody laugh and weep in
''Skippy," will get $25, 900 a year
on a two-year contract with
Metro -Goldwyn. Working in the
sour Gang" comedies, he grabbed
$50 a week idle. $75 when max
ing a picture. Norman Taurog,
who directed Jackie in "Skippy,"
is his uncle, and the fact that the
kid worships him made the job
easy for both.

Nancy's Work Easy

Steve Cochran really felt bad
over handing the marathon role
of Nina Leeds to his leading
woman, Nancy Sheridan. But
Nancy cheered him up by inform
ing him that she had already
played Eugene O'Neill's heroine
in Montreal and knew all the
words by heart in this role Of
record breaking length. So it's
Just a question of brushing up on
q part already committed to mem
0ry.
Mrs. Hibbard, who will play
Sans mother in Strange Inter
lude" is another who knows her
part thoroughly, having played it
In Texas.
Strange Interlude," which has
5lst been released for stock,
earned for Eugene O'Neill more
than 100000 in royalties. Its
biggest week at 81 top was
achieved in Washington where
the first engagement netted $685.
900. The New York Theater
Guild made over $780, 900 on the
play. No wonder they are keen
to put his next play into re-
hearSal as soon as possible.
The next O'Neill play is tri-
ology-or really three plays in
one-called Mourning Becomes
Electra" The Guild will give
each session of the play two
nights, the first week, so that
critics may view and pass upon
the completed work. For the
regular season subscribers each
play will run a week and a spe-
cial price for tickets to all three
parts of Mourning Becomes
ELECTRA" !"

Sally Eilers Able
To Pilot AirDLGne

There's a very good reason why
Sally Eilers could go rocketing up
from knockabout comedies to an
important dramatic role, all in
the short space Of two years, and
not the least symptom of dizzi-
ness. Sally is one Of the few girls
in the Hollywood studios who is
an expert at handling the con-
trolls Of an airplane. The heights
don't bother her.
Miss Eilens, in the Fox romance,
Quick Millions" now at Warner
Brothers Metropolitan Theater, is
an all-around outdoor girl. She
sWims, hikes and rides surf boards
and horses.

WIN ME MADE
HIT MAKING
EN- LAUGH

Winnie Lightner's mother died
when she was born and she was
taken by an aunt and uncle who
several years later moved to Buff
falo where Winnie was educated.
When in the early teens she per-
suaded her foster parents to let
her try out her budding dramatic
talents on amateur nights in a
local theater. Although Winnie
had planned to deliver several
rather tragic songs she was late
at the theater and had to run a
part Of the distance in the rain.
The result was that she was
showed onto the stage before she
caught her breath and her seri-
GUS songs were laughed at in
stead of being wept over.
From that time on Winnie de-
cided to keep 'em laughing. Her
progress was comparatively rapid,
first in small time vaudeville and
later on the big circuits. Finally
her name appeared in lights on
Broadway and eventually she was
starred in such musical shows as
Gay Paree," George White
Scandals" and other equally pre-
tentious productions.
Miss Lightner spent several sea-
sons abroad at the London Kit
Kat" Club and in Paris night re-
sorts. Returning later to the
American stage she was signed by
Warner Brothers to play a sup
porting role in one of the early
musical talking pictures "Gold
Diggers of Broadway"
Miss Lightner was an over
night sensation in that picture
and a long-term contract was
signed even before it's release
