Fights with lions, apes, blood-

They Are Saving---
In The Hollywood Gossip

what happened to Johnny Kelly,
the bright faced lad who used to
greet all patrons Of the Brown
Derby with a big smile. In fact,
although he was only the door boy,
he had a lot to do with making
the Derby movie rendezvous. A
few days ago we learned that he
is working as Bert Wheeler's secre-
tary. Johnny is ambitious. He
hopes some day to be a big movie
mogul land to that end he wanted
get closer to the business. He
told Wheeler about his ambitions
and Bert gave him job. So now
the youth can run free in the
studio as much as he desires. And
he's learning plenty.
Stars of the film world may
mean a lost in some places, but
they don't always stand so high
around Hollywood. Take the case
of Joel McCrea. Joel wanted to
become an actor after he gradu-
ated from college. He was well
acquainted with several promin-
ent stars, but the most they could
do for him was to offer him en-
couragement. 1t remained for
Harold Shuster. an assistant cut
ter who had been a school buddy
of Joers to get him job. Once
started, Joel kept climbing. But
Shuster still remained his closest
friend. And now Shuster Is COM
ing up, too. He has just been
made a director at the Fox studios.
This fellow Frank Borsage, one
of our pioneer megaphone wielders,
sure does give birth to some hot
ideas.
LAS soon as I am able to take
the time off. am going to get up
golf foursome and fly all over
the country, playing the best
courses we can find" he told me
the other day.
Incidentally. flying and golf are
Borsage's two hobbies. He does
both we'll.
And now it's Colonel Evalyn
Knapp. The charming young
screen actress has been made an
honorary colonel by the Hollywood
American Legion post. Yes, she
has a uniform.

Based on J. p. McEvoy's maya

A Different Haines.
William Haines, playing the
lead, reveals an entirely new per-
sonality. Gone are his smart
cracks and comedy mannerisms,
for in this picture he has an In
tensely serious role and, without
question, he makes the most of it..
The scenes in which he begs his
neurotic wife for divorce so that
he may marry the girl he really
loves, the stirring episode in which
he Is subsequently accused of her
murder and Is forced to hide from
the police, and his eventual dis
covery are among the most excit-
ing and gripping ever placed on
the talking screen.
Nadge Evans, who recently
scored in Lovers Courageous.
plays the heroine with a convinc-
ing sincerity to which Anita Page
and Joan Marsh, as two blonde,
jazz-mad girls, form a striking
contrast. Karen Morley as the
nagging wife does wonders with a
difficult role and finished portray

A word must also be said for the
clever direction of Harry Beau

it's true. But more often it isn't.
Film actresses quite often get
their starts quite early in life.

The Town Turned Out In Glad Array For Was Broadway Circus Day
When Eeges Girls Were Glored And Most Almighty Cute, Bed
BY GILBERT SWAN
NEA Service Writer

New York-For several years,
Mons. Flo Ziegfeld has glorified
the American sidewalk whenever
he produced a new show.
The show that Is staged just out
side his expansive and expensive
lobby is quite as fascinating as any
to be found inside his ultra-mod-
ernistic theater. Somewhere be-
tween Hollywood openings and
circus lot may be found the Zieg-
field formula.
In the instance of his latest,
titled "Hot Cha" kleigs that would
have shamed the Hollywood hills
glared down on the follies of Sixth
avenue. Autograph hunters were
out in predatory hordes; ladies In
ermine and gents in vermin pushed
each other off the curbstone; soci-
ETY. editors in top-hats ran about
to gather the names of celebs; In
depression times, select seats were
selling at $3.50 per each and lime
light hunters were demanding
them in blocks. Snooty Blue Book
rows, were struggling for a chance
to be seen there at all, and were
to be noted sneaking to balcony
locations.
At such occasions, Broadway ad-
mits its weakness for publicity
or, If you prefer, notoriety! And
the shrewd Mons. Ziegfeld, being a
Snowman, gives all and sundry an
opportunity to put on an act.
Flashlights explode against the
competitive food lights; movie folk
and stage folk and society folk are
halted with -. Hold that
just minute, mister command
of the camera men.
On the following morning the
list of names "of those present" Is
as conglomerate a mixture Of blue
blood, red blood and anemia as the
modern test tubes can produce.
But the same M. ziegfeld has
never been known to glorify the
American libretto. Once, perhaps
by accident, "Whoopee" happened
to have as its parent fair farce.
and SO the story held up.
So, in spite of the sidewalk mob
fighting for an autograph or a
glimpse; in spite Of the kleigs and
the fan fare, "Hot Cha" turned out
to be a music show cursed by
libretto and blessed by Snowman
ship. Urban had made the sets
and Bobby Connolly had done
right by the thrice-glorified girl
les (some of them have been in
three productions, at any rate)
and Brown and Henderson had
turned out tunes with such gaggy

Maker of Men," the Columbia
picture showing today and tomor-
row at the Lyric theater, stars Jack
Holt in the role of a college ath-
letic coach-a builder of American
youth and features Richard
Cromwell as his son.
A father and son drama. the
story reveals the struggle of the
boy to reconcile his own fears with
his fathers ambition to make q
great athlete of him! He does not
share his fathers love Of sport. To
him 1t Is brutal play with a manned
body poor reward for empty glory.
He can't take physical punishment
and he doesn't see why he should
be called yellow" because he
doesn't want his body battered!
