First All=SOund Picture to Come From Jungle
 WildS

Revealing for the first time the secrets of that vast and unexplored Itura forest, the land of the pyg- mics. in the Belgian Congo region of Africa, MT and Mrs Martin Johnson's picture, the Fox produc- tion, "Congorilla", which is the first all sound film ever to come out of the wilds of the jungle, opens it's local engagement at the Poli Palace tomorrow.
 For seven long months the mo- ted African explorers lived among these small, grotesque people, pho- tographing and recording their habits, customs and tribal rites, their weird songs and dances and mode of living in their native hab- fiat.
 All in all there are about 50,- 900 of these strange people, accord ing to MT Johnson. They all seem to be of the same tribe, although they segregate themselves into groups or clans. Each group lives in a certain bounded area, and are great respectors of boundary lines as well as of the fighting prowess or rival groups. They and they alone inhabit the dense Itura forest, in- penetrable by the sun, and are virtually the slaves of the langer natives who live on the outskirts of this, vast wilderness. The pyg- mics live in fear of the larger na- tives and come and go to the mere beck and call of the bigger people.
 The pygmy is of normal size. and continues to develop both men, tally and physically until about 10 years of age. Then for some un- known reason all growth seems to stop. The smallest full-grown pygmy the Johnsons found in the forest measured feet 6 inches, the largest 4 feet 3 inches, with the average between 3 feet Il inches and 4 feet.
 They live off the shrubs of the woodland, such as mushrooms, wild shoot with their tiny bows and arrows.
 Martin Johnson contends that ed people on the face of the globe, without worries or troubles and perfectly happy in their savage ignorance They are practically help- less, not being able to make a solitary thing. For their needs, even their bows and arrows they exchange in trade and barter with the larger natives on the outskirts of the forest.
 In contrast to these small peo- pie, MT and Mrs Johnson show in "Congorilla" the first sound pie. lures ever made of the big and ferocious gorilla, which infests the AlumbOngO mountain region of the dark continent Tn mortal combat among themselves, charging the white invaders and their cameras, in quest of food and caring for their young, the shots of these

Dickie Even Gets
 Fan Mail From
 Other Movie Stars
Juvenile Player Is Favor
 ite of HOlI IywOOd
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood.-There's no end to this fan letter business!
 l haven't been able to determine just how many actors and actresses are recipients of fan leters from other players. But I do know of one case. Nor does it stop with let ters. This actor also receievs nu- merous gifts, He's five-year old Dickie Moore.
 While talking to Dickie on the Blonde Venus" set few days ago, he proudly showed me his latest letter from Barbara Stanwyck. That, of course, led me to inquire whether he receives letters from any of the other stars. The answer was very much in the affirmative. And just to show you what kind of letters the stars write, here is the one he received from Miss Stanwyck:
 Dear Dickie:-
 Just had to write and tell yon Conduct and that you were just grand.
 l hear you have a new lady friend giving you presents. Don't forgete me, "So Big"-cause think you're "swell'. My love to your mother and father and do hope I will be in picture again with you real soon.
 Bye and God bless you. I think of you all the time and I have your picture hanging on my wall in my library-just so I can see my little picture son always.
 Love,
 Barbara Stanwyck Fay.
 
 And those gifts that the young ster receives. When he started working in Blonde Venus Tallu- 1ah Bankhead gave him the most

USHERETTES ASK
 TIPLESS JOBS

Paris. (UP)-French usherettes have revolted against one of the biggest "rackets' in France by de- manding the abolitioun of tipping in the theaters.
 The usherettes now draw no pay for their work. In fact, they must pay for the privilege of working.
 ; This is because the right to fill their jobs has been farmed out to several large agencies. The girls must pay the agencies from 50 cents to $5 week to obtain a job, and derive their only income from tips.
 The girls have become tired of nagging theater patrons who for get to tip. when shown to their seats. At a mass meeting of usher cites they adopted an ultimatum demanding abolition of tipping and the establishment of reason able salaries.
 The theater owners replied, however, that the concessions to the agencies had several years to run and that the tipping system would, therefore, have to continue.
 A few years ago, the cafe wait CTS of Paris won a similar revolt. Now they no longer pay for the privilege of working. but earn just as much in tips as they did before.

others belonging to outsiders" But those
named above are regarded as the important
homes along the beach.
A STRANGE thing about Malibu, too, is that
whenever there is a rift in a family, the
beach home invariably goes to the wife.
When B. P. Sclulberg. until recently pro-
duction chief at the Paramount studio, and his
wife separated, she got the Malibu homo. Schulz
berg in turn rented Bob Woolseys house for
this Summer, it being right next door to Dick
BarthelmessI, in which Sylvia Sidney is living
while Dick and his wife are in Europe.
Edna Murphy got the Malibu house when
she and Mervyn LIE Roy separated about year
ago. And since becoming estranged from his
wife Bert Wheeler has to visit friends when he
wants to go to the beach, as Mrs Wheeler took

Incidentally she spends quite lot of time

brother, now visiting them, could be the at

When invading Malbu you never know whom
you might find in whose house. Every one
there wanders from house to house. No door
ever is locked
And whether or not you are a Malibu resi-
dent, the only requisite for dropping in for
day-or sometimes q weeks to have met your
host or hostess at least casually before arriving.
Over the week ends particularly nearly all
Hollywood moves down to this portion of the
seashore. Some are invited guests. The ma
jority just decide to go.
Adela Rogers st. John Hyland, who lives
there rather quietly with her husband Dick Hy-
land, former All-Amer. ca grid star from STAN
ford, and her three children, tells of an Incl
dent which happened to her one night. Awak-
ened about O'Clock in the morning she thought
she heard noise downstairs. Going down to
investigate she found three Of her friends in
the kitchen trying to fry some ham and eggs.
That Is thing which might happen to any

whatever.
In fact, it is almost an unwritten law that
very little attention should be paid to guests.

A LOT of changes have taken place along
this stretch of beach since Anna @. Nils

For three years there were no telephones and
no mail delivery there. The only telephone in
the neighborhood was the one in the little gen.

The only way to reach a person by phone was
to prevail upon the storekeept- to go down and
deliver message. All mail also was dropped at
