Gang Was Happy


This naturally meant a lot
to the gang. We heard that he
was going to live among us and
that we were actually going to
act in the picture with him.
We were going to step into a
new world, and you can readily
understand what a thrill we
anticipated.
In due time the company
arrived and the picture went
into the making. We all had a
swell time tramping down to
the artillery area to watch the
setting up of the various para
phernalia and to gaze google
eyed at cameras, wind ma
chimes. chairs with the stars
names on the backs, and so on.
More, it gave us plenty of
kick to see oodleS of girls from
all over the State of Washing

giggles and acting just asE gog-
gle-eyed as we were. Pretty girls
meant a lot to us, Mark, be-
cause such rarities are hands

New Paramount
Star Must Get
Experience
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright. iS32, King Features
Syndicate Inc

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Feb. g.
Like so many Hollywood discov-
cries Sari Martha is learning
that she must discount the first
wild acclaim.
Paramount, now that the excite
ment has Simmered down. has
decided not to feature her in
The Girl in the Headlines"-at
least not yet. This production
may be made some time in the
future, but in the meanwhile the
young actress will play a few
supporting roles. Just to get the
hang of the thing.
Instead of being temperamental
Miss Martha heartily endorses
the idea. Seldom are the players
themselves responsible for the
ballyhoo with which they are
launched into Hollywood. They
accept it as modestly as they
may and hope that the showdown
won't be too much of an anti
climax.
With the postponement of the
Martha picture, George Cuker

A Title Problem

Paramount has been having
quite time to find the right
name for Lubitsch's picture, "The
Man I Killed" It played Broad
way under it's original title until
it was discovered that most peo-
pie believed the feature was one
with an underworld story. So
they changed the name to "The
Fifth Commandment" which was
o. K. until somebody else discov-
cred this commandment was not
the same in all editions of the
Bible and religious controversy
might result. So now it is
Broken Lullaby" and under
that name it will soon be shown
at Warmers Metropolitan Theater.
It has a cast which comprises
Lionel Barrymore. Nancy Carroll
and Phillips Holmes.
