Hollywood went to the dogs
whole-heartedly with the open
Il i ing Of the Culver City Kennel
Club, which brought out more
movies than any event staged this year
in cinemaland.
A warm night, some hot dogs (grey-
hounds, very live betting and $4,000
enthusiasts made the opening pretty
gala affair. When the electric rabbit
wasn't hot-footing it around the oval
track noted beauties of the silver screen
and their escorts were sprinting through
the subways to get their options placed
in the betting stalls.
And the sports clothes constituted the
best fashion show of the year. Veree
Teasdale, New York beauty brought
here by M-G-M, showed them what
a tall titan blonde may do on a warm
evening to hold honors for her type.
It was of navy blue rough silk crepe
and cut with little f1aring jacket so
tight about the hips that the occupant
would seem to have been blown into 1t
and topped by a tiny beret OF white
straw right on one ear.
Sally Eilers, who came with Husband
"Hoot' Gibson, wore a tiny hat of Nor
man green felt, with a loose sports coat
Of white. She is still blonde and not
so stunning as in the days Of her nat
ural dark hair, although most girls
would admit her to be pretty deadly
rival.
Maureen O'Sullivan chose range Of
blues for her costume, although her
chatter with Jimmy Dunn, her escort,
was anything but that. And Ginger
Rogers fiery curls. glimpsed over Mer-
vyn lie Roy's shoulder, were back
grounded by brown jersey exquisitely
cut and very simple.

A gripping drama of the cotton country way down South, Cabin in the Cotton" starring Richard Barthelmess, is the feature at traction at Warmers State to-day and tomorrow.
 Barthelmess portrays a "poor white" boy of the district, educated and given a home by a rich plant CT, who finds himself torn between love for his own kind, the distress ed tenant farmers, and loyalty to the planter who has been his bene- factor. In the end, he succeeds in doing both--but not before a grip ping and colorful tale has been un- folded. s5s
