You can't blame the taxicab
chauffeurs, the mattresses, the

operators and the motormen for
thinking they can write for Holly
wood when they see such trash

for George Raft-never very keen

I read that he had the gumption
to turn down cold the chance to
play Popeye, a despicable trigger

Don Alfonso Zelaya, concert pi-
anist, who appears at the Earle
Theater beginning tomorrow, is
set for a fine spot on the N. B. C.
network programs starting very
soon. He has an idea that he
can interest the loud speaker au-
dience in classical piano music,
provided it is tricked up with sub
tie comedy and blended with back
ground music that tells a story.
Don Zelaya has an interesting
history. His father was president
of Nicaragua for II years, and
Don began to play the piano at 4.
He played instinctively; the music
was his own; he thought in music
and not diplomacy. So his father
sent him to Paris, where he could

study under the great masters.
Then, with his musical education
well developed. his father sent
him to West Point to learn the
art of a soldier and become, per-
haps, a Nicaraguan general. But
Don preferred harmony, counter
point and tone color to the man
ual Of arms and dress paradeS.
So he quit after two years and
became a concert artist.
He has been all over the world
as a vaudeville headliner and
knows how to WOO an audience, to
get them in the mood for his
melody, better than any enter,
tainer I have ever seen. And his
act has "class," which is one rea.
son why I love it. So few vaude.

She Can't Help

Margie stood up. She shrugged
her shoulders and spoke to the
toy dog.
"I can't help you, doggie," she
murmured. I've got plenty of
my own troubles. But the peo-
pie who own you should GER
tainly be more careful"
She strolled toward the parks
exit. The dog trotted dutifully
at her heels. She walked fur
ther. The dog was still there.
When she emerged from the
park the animal was still with
her. So, acting on a swift de-
ciSion, she picked the dog up,
turned west and walked to her
rooming house.
The animal seemed highly
content in Margie's little room.
He raced all around the place,
and the girl gazed upon him
with smiling eyes.

Playing Broadway

He was playing in one of the
Broadway picture houses at the
time this story took place,
which was about eight weeks
ago. And if you recognize him
from that description, please
keep the name to yourself.
AT any rate, you can imagine
Margle's feelings. Here was
big stars dog in her posses
sion. 1t meant an introduction
to the noted man-and who
knew what that might lead to-?
She stumbled into her coat,
picked up the animal again and
raced over to the theater in
which the star was appearing.
At the theater, they didn't
want to let Margie in at first.
But when she sent in word
about the dog, the great man
himself and in person-raced
down to the stage door and
gathered the dog in his arms.
He did everything but kiss the
pooch and he brought Margie
back to his dressing room with
him.
I'm due on the stage in a
minute to two," he cried as he
glanced at the clock, land I

This girl, of course, was only
one of the very many who find
themselves in similar situations
on Broadway or in Hollywood
IL months out of the year. Big
hopes when they start; sad eyes
when they finish.
But let's get back to Margie.
She had been a little luckier
than most. She, at least, had
been able to find a second and
a third job after the first one
came to an end.
But now what? Two months
had gone by without SEM
blance of a job, and the little
money she had was fast disap-
pearing.
Margie sighed, and sat down
upon a bench. She watched
the passing cars with troubled
eyes. Suddenly she sat erect,
and instinctively put her hand
to her mouth to Stifle a scream.
A little dog-a toy bull-had
raced across the road. And a
large limousine had missed the
animal only by the narrowest
of margins.
The dog stopped in front of
her, and Margie wagged a
finger.

"You gave me a terrible fright.
Just as though things weren't
bad enough!'
She leaned over and ptted
the dog.

she said. where's your

She looked around. No sight
of any owner. She looked at
the animals collar. No name
there, lust a number.

THE REWARD MAGNIFICENT

MARGIE turned from seth
Street and walked slowly into
Central Park. She was worried,
and her pretty face showed it
plainly. The present was tough,
and the future looked tougher.
If a chorus job or a vaudeville
act didn't turn up very quickly,
it meant going back to the folks
in Boston as an admitted fail
ure. And that was something
she hated like the devil to do.

HOLLYWOOD, May 11.-since
the return of Greta Carlo, there
has been developing a sub rosa
drama that should capture the
fancy both of Hollywood and of
you powerful fans out there.
La Carlo wants Jack Gilbert
to be her leading man in Queen

moved by sentiment or Snowman

Metro Goldwyn-Mayer were to re-
unite the screen lovers of those

sure to flock to the theater.
But Jack is through at M. G. M.
Cold business dictates that the
studio use an actor whom they
can cash in on.
And to this verdict, I'm afraid
there's no appeal. Cold business
rules these days. Still it. is a
