Freeman Gosden and Charles

Amos Of the pair and Correll is
the Andy. They have been

dates back to their first broad.
cast. Unlike many performers,
there has been no letup.
Correll was born in Peoria, III.
All his life he has had a banker

tried the construction business.
Finally he gave it up to try the
stage. In Durham, N. c., he
found a young Virginian, Gosden,

Correll joined the troupe and in
the succeeding months they were
thrown together a great deal.

The Happy Ending
It was just a fortnight ago
The woman had tucked her two
little tots in bed under blankets
that were threadbare. 1t was
1890 p. m. and the apartment
a mile from the White House
was chilled by the sweep Of wind
from the Potomac. On the NOR
row, the woman and the children
would go into the street; there
was no money to pay the rent
The mother couldn't bear that, SC
she thought of the kitchen-and
the gas.
She had turned on the deadly
fumes and was closing the win
dowS against the life-giving air
when she heard the radio across
the court. She paused, for she
never had heard such contagious
laughter. She didn't know that
she was listening to Olsen ano
johnson, the RKO comics. then
capering in WEAF'S RKO pro
gram. But there was the con
tagion, and she relaxed anG
smiled. Those men," she
thought, "are laughing. I usec
to laugh-and I'm laughing
now"
And she turned off the gas
Next day, when, as fate woulc
have it, a letter from the West
arrived from relenting father
with money and announcement
she inquired about the radio
comics, and the other day Olser
and johnson received her letter

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April 20.
Success in Hollywood comes with
sweep fit to turn any but the
coolest head.
Since "Cimarron," Irene Dunno
has become one of this frantic
eommunity's most sought after
players. With half a dozen
things planned for her at RK-O,
she goes first to Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer to play opposite Adolphe
Menjou in ''The Great Lover" AS
the picture gets under way next
week, the star will have to con-
clude her New York vacation
almost Immediately.
"The Great Lover" was one Of
Leo DietrichStein's greatest sue
cesses. I happen to know Menjou
long has had the ambition to
make it into q talkie. His role
will be that of baritone, who
loses his voice at the height of his
career. Fate deals him another
blow when a young understudy
also replaces him in the affec-
tions of the prirna donna.
AS will be seen, the story is
shrewdly contrived. Menjou, who
does not sing, will not have to be-
cause of the lost voice. Miss
Dunno, who does sing, and mighty
we'll, will have ample opportunity.
Direction of this picture falls to
