Andrew r. Kelley Hardy and
Freaks" I agree, but how could
you overlook The Purchase
Price" the Barbara Stanwyck
atrocity with an extra medal for
the genius who gave George Brent
the SniffleS."
Or here's a letter from Max
Won Miller, of 1881 K St., which
makes the day seem brighter:
My Dear Mr.. Kelley:
Something cOmpelS me to
write-SO I beg you to forgive
this intrusion. Perhaps it was
your "Ten Best Movie Selec-
tiOnS" in the Times last
evening. Let me congratulate
you on such sound judgment.
Not that / entirely agree with
you, but your list was so su-
perior to those sent in by the
other ID. G.. critics.
am glad that you included
"The Broken Lullaby" and re-
gret. also that I'm a Fugitive"
was not in the eligible list.
Your praise >Of these two pic
lures has certainly won my ad-
miration. 1t stamps you as the
fairest Il mean in a sense of
justice) critic in Washington.
Maybe it's because you just
express my sentiments. In other
words we invariably agree"
There is more of this but
modeSty forbids. These friendly
intrusions on the days task swell
me up like an actor reading his
good notices on Tuesday morning.
My Christmas letter to Santa
Claus will certainly be a request
for more Max Won Millers, with
a P. S. hoping he can throw all
the anonymous correspondents
and phone snipers in the Poto-
mac.

Gayety Show i:
Full Of Good
Comedy

Boosting a talented cast, col,
lege Widows" current at the Gay
ETY., combines all the elements
necessary to satisfy the appetites
of Washington's burlesquers and
seems like another sure winner
for Jimmy Lake.
A lot of old favorites help to
make the production a success.
For instance there are the Reed
Sisters, Ray Parsons, Sam Ray
nor, Bimbo Davis, Lee Hickman,
Joy st. Clair, Bee Keller and Gar
riagan and De Muth.
While some of the shows have
suffered for lack of comedy, this
attraction is long on it. Raynor,
Hickman and Davis are a trio
bound to bring joy to any man
ayers heart with the capabilities
for mirth provoking.
The Reed Sisters need no in
PRODUCTION. Few, if any actresses,
can approach Joy st. Clair for
pulchritude nor for apparent joy
in just being on the stage. Bee
Kellar, blonde dancer, won much
applause. Ray Parsons voice is
we'll liked at the Gayety, while
George Kinear, a new straight
man, is most effective. Corrigan
and DeMuth, a dance team, have
shown to better advantage than
they did yesterday.
There's a lot of individuality in
the chorus, each girl apparently
having her own idea as to how
each dance routine should be
done, and they all stick to their
theories regardless of how it looks
out front.

The Perfect Barber

When he came to nay room
this morning, he was already
well acquainted. He thanked
me for calling him, went to
the bathroom and got every
thing in readiness. I rested
comfortably on the couch in a
typical columnistic attitude and
thanked the Lord for such a
barber as Andree.
AS the man began to lather
my face, he talked of numer-
GUS things. I could catch but
a word here and there-but it
made tile difference. He
didn't know any more about
my conversation than I knew
about his.
Ten minutes went by, and
Andree was still lathering my
face. I began to wonder what
1t was all about. When five
mlnuToS more went by and he
was still rubbing away, I grew
a bit concerned.
What the devil are you do
ing, An dree?" I inquired. II
want my beard shaved off-not
rubbed off. What's going on?"
I glanced over at the table,
and then I knew. He had
picked up the wrong tube and
was trying to lather my face
with toothpaSte!

weekend party on the desert $50
miles from Hollywood. She got a
telephone call that she was

The incapacity was not physi.

Certain gorgeous items of her

R-K-O Stars Get
New Roles In
Shake-up

HOLLYWOOD. Dec. 5.-Just
as the street lights were going
on in Hollywood, R-K-O officials
yesterday came to a momentous
change of mind, and today sew
eral of the company'S most i'm
portant stars find themselves
with entirely new pictures to do.
1t all started when someone
discovered a swell new story for
Ann Harding-so good in fact
that David Selznick gave orders
to put it into immediate prepa-
ration for the blonde stars next
film.
But what to do then with "The
Great Desire" (formerly Chris
topher Strongly upon which Ann
was about to start? Answer-and
this was the second bright idea
in a row-to give the part to
Katharine Hepburn. who would
make an ideal aviatriX.
Great. but that left the i'm
pending Three Came Unarmed"
hanging in mid-air without a
leading woman. Postpone it. or
dered Head-man SelZnick. and
thus the Gordian knot was cut.
So Katharine Hepburn starts
THE Great Desire" under the di-
rection of Dorothy Arzner. Ann
Harding will do the mysterious
story under Gregory La Cava and
only Joel McCrea (Scheduled for
Three Came Unarmed") is tenn
porarily at loose ends.
Hollywood Parade
Rather amusing the predica-
ment of a certain blonde actress
the other day. Called upon to
do tipsy scene, she tried several
times but could not satisfy the
director. Finally, in desperation,
she sneaked off the set and had
three stiff jolts of gin. A few
moments later, she returned with
a swell edge on to find they had
decided not to retake the scene
and we're setting up for sob stuff.
Douglas Fairbanks, jr. is crazy
to do The White Sister" opposite
Helen Hays. Maybe he will, but
it will take plenty of negotiations.
Visiting her. home in Tennessee
was mighty fine, but the biggest
thrill Dorothy Jordan got out of
her Eastern trip was the dressing
room they had fixed up for her
at the Capitol Theater in New
York. In that very room-minus
all the star trimmings-Dorothy
used to dress with the rest of the
chorus. 1t was from here that
she went to the Greenwich Village
Follies and thence to Hollywood.
Retakes on ma Cana" have
spoiled the Mexico City trip of
the Melvyn Douglases. BY the
time he is through, Helen Ca
hagan will have to go North to
reopen the Cat and the Fiddle"
in San Francisco on Christmas
night. Meanwhile, there is talk
of the couple signing to do a
picture together at Columbia.
If the pleas of Charles R.
Rogers are successful, Marjorie
Rambeau will make a comeback
on the screen. The Hollywood
producer has an emissary in
Sebrlng, Fla, trying to sign the
actress for one of the leading
roles in "Strictly Personal"
Back when Marjorie married
Francis Gudger, she said that
she was content to give up acting
and darn socks. But that was
many months ago. Maybe the
call of the grease-paint will be
stronger now.
BY an odd coincidence, Willard
Mack, one of Marjorie's ex-hus-
bands, is doing the screen play
OF Strictly Personal" Originally,
1t came from the typewriters Of
Wilson Miner and Robert T.
Sherman.

And when you stop to consider
that his average tip is about
3 cents, you'll know what it
meant to him.
shook the change in my
hand and called the doorman
to me. I divided the money
into three parts and handed
the first portion to the cabby.
Tell him." I told the door
man, that that's for him"
The doorman did as I re-
quested.. I handed over the
second part.
Tell him." went on, "that
that's for his wife"
The doorman did the transla-
ting as the drivers yes almost
popped from his head. I dump
ed the remainder into his palm.
And tell him." I continued,
"that the rest is for his daugh-
ter"
Once more the doorman
spoke. The cabby had stepped
to the street and was appar-
emily on the verge of kissing
my hand. He stopped sudden
ly, and his expression changed.
A crafty look came into his
Watery eyes. He said some
thing to the door1nan.
I looked on in amaZement.
Whats the trouble?" I asked.
Don't tell me he's not salts
fled"
Most Generous Man
"Oh, no, sir" the dorman re-
piled. He says you have been
most generous and he thanks
you very much. But he wishes
to add that, in case you might
be interested, he has a. son,
toop
Andree. The barber in this
hotel. Andree is so grand a
type that I should really devote
complete column to him. But
space prevents me from using
half the characters I want to
put into this column. So I will
have to use Andree, and let it
go at that.
The man is politeness, per-
sonified. He is the Italian coun-
terpart of the famous advertise
ment of Ed Pinaud. He knows
very little English, but he makes
what he does know go a long
way.
He is forever thanking the
customer. AS he fathers your
face, he asks you if the water
is warm enough. If you say it
is, he thanks you. During the
shave, he thanks you four or
five mes for giving him the
honor of shaving you. When
left his shop the first day,
beat him to the punch and
thanked him for not cutting
me. But he didn't quite get me.
Twice now. Andree has
shaved me in my room. When
he came upstairs the first time,
I handed him my tube of popu-
lar shaving cream and told
him to use that instead of his
regular brand. He had never
seen that preparation before,
but he thanked me for giving
it to him and proceeded. to

CHAIRMAN IN 1924
After providing his party with an
extraordinary issue Of corruption with
which to make war on the Republi-
cans, Walsh was chosen permanent
chairman Of the 1924 convention and
had to stand on the platform, help
less but still superb, while the party
dashed away its hopes in the long
awful struggle between Smith and Nc
Adoo.
He refused the vice. presidential
nomination that year and in 1928,
when McAdoo favored him for the
presidency, bowed himself gracefully
out as it became obvious that Smith
would be nominated.
Shouse and Walsh were both Nc
Adoo men In 1924. Shouse is a wet
and Walsh IS dry, although the lat
ter in his last campaign agreed to
follow any referendum result in Mon
tana. One thing many wet Demo-
Gratis can't understand is why Roose-
welt, professedly a wet, should insist
on two Barley and Walsh-as
the conventions presiding officers.
The Smith forces are going to use
that issue in their fight for Shouse.
