Il comes Jumbo and slim
I haven't seen them in

Sounds like the gang in the alley
behind the woodshed in those days
when a fellows handle" was given to
him by a consensus of opinion without
regard to the earnest efforts Of parents
to dignity their progeny with first
names. But it seems that these odd
sounding nicknames are often used in
greetings between some OF Hollywood's S
most famous screen players.
Mike" is none other than Lionel
Barrymore, VINO was given this Irish
ditchdiggers title by friends during his
days on the stage. Dutch is name
that used to be applied to one of the
screens leading romantic figures,
Clark Gable, when he was just a
scrawny youth enjoying some days Of
real sport" around the country town OF
Hopedale, Ohio. AS an echo of his
days in the circus. when he used to be
nursemaid to a herd of a dozen ele-
plants, Wallace Berry acquired the
nickname of Jumbo" which is still
used by many Of his intimate friends.
Any one who wants to get reaction
out of Robert Montgomery just yells
"Sliml" at him and he responds i'm
mediately.
A few of the Metro Goldwyn- Mayer
players acquired nicknames that do not
sound as though they had any connec-
ton with their personality. Ramon
Novarro has long been called Pete
of all names-by members of his family
and friends. He Is at a loss to explain
where or when he was given the
"monicker," but it still sticks. When
ever any Of Joan Crawfcrd's friends
want to bring back her early days in
pictures, during the period when she
was a struggling extra, they call her
Billie" Strangely enough, Billie was
one Of the names her family gave her
Joan Crawford Is name she received

comes back she makes new friends

The same could almost be said for

There are so many things that are

Then the emperor would grasp a cor

Startled, the guests would gather
around and in amaZement watch the
flames vainly lick about the coverlet.
Then the emperor would thrust in

it to whiteness. and return it TO the
