at developing and encouraging
young talent. Joan Blondell,

Sad, Sad Story
could go on along those
lines for several years, but the
hour is growing late and I sup
pose I've done sufficient dam
age already. SO, we'll simply
let the matter rest and call the
whole thing an introduction to
the sad story Of Elvira Evans.
AS Mrs. Guy Irvine can tell
you, Elvira was born with two
strikes on her, two out in the
ninth and the score of twenty
five to nothing. Because ma
ture played her a dirty trick.
More than dirty, it was filthy.
And as she grew older, nature
refused to call the hand a mis-
deal.
She was as homely as a bat
tered taxi. Her face looked like
a cross between an anteater
and a telephone. She was tall,
lean, lanky and lofty. One eye
gazed south, while the other
went northeast.
She didn't remember her pa
rents. Which made everything
even because her parents didn't
want to remember her. At the
age of 80, she was still trying
to find her proper groove in
life. Nobody was kind enough
to tell her that they hadn't
dug it for her yet.
Goes to Country
When she reached the age
Of 80, she hit out for a small
town in upper New York. May
be, she felt, she would find
happiness among the birds, the
bees, the flowers and the trees.
And that was all she wanted;
a little happiness. Happiness,
and a good cup of coffee every
now and then. Without sugar.
Strangely enough, Elvira found
a job in that small town. She
hadn't been there more than
five months when Farmer Bur-
bridge hired her to take care
of his place. She was to be
a servant. She had to rise at
S, cook the meals, clean the
house, scrub the floors, fetch
the water, milk the COWS, feed
the dogs and help out with
the farming in her spare time.

Patricia Ellis, the 17-year-old
player, who has her first leading
feminine role opposite James
Cagney in the Warner Brothers
production picture Snatcher," a
story Of journalism, now showing
at Warner Brothers Metropolitan
Theater, is entirely innocent of
newspaper phraSeology. When
Director Lloyd Bacon referred to
the newspapers morgue where
clippings and pictures are filed,
she exclaimed:
Gracious! Are there corpses

Cary Grant Gets
Big Executive
Role in Film
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1898, King Features
Syndicate. Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 8.
Barely more than a newcomer to
the screen, Cary Grant is being
promoted to character leads, parts
such as William Powell, Warren
William, and q few other seasoned
players have monopolized in the
past.
News Of this bit of good luck
came out yesterday when Para
mount assigned Cary to play the
title role in big Executive" the
story Of a ruthless business man,
who got everything he wanted
until he set his ambitions upon a
girl.
The hero Of this Alice Duer Mil
Ter serial is unsympathetic through
out q good deal Of the story. He
is so different from the straight,
leading-man type that Paramount
first thought they had to have
Bill Powell to do the part. Then
they looked at Cary Grants work
in a similar role in 1.-THE Eagle
and the Hawk" and changed their
mind.
Naturally, Cary is elated over
the opportunity to play a char
acter with a little iron in him.
And just to insure that there will
be iron, Paramount has hired
Laurence Stallings to make the
adaptation.

All I'm a Day
THE TALE OF ELVIRA
by
MARK HELLINGER

For this she received $40 a
n0nth-out Of which Farmer
Eurbridge kept $19 in his bank
under his name in order to
teach her to save.
II will be hard for you to
beiieYe-but Elvira wasn't very
happy.
She longed for some one to
love her. Some one to whom
she could tell her troubles.
Someone who would understand
her! II she only had sister!
Or a brother! Or an uncle!
Or even a father-in-law! But
no. 1t was not to be.
To End 1t All
At the age of SO Elvira made
up her mind to end it all. She
wasn't getting anywhere-and
the longer she lived the less
chance she had of getting there.
SO, as she day-dreamed while
milking a COW one day, she de-
cided that suicide was the only
way out.
But how? All, that was the
question.
The following day she was
still day-dreaming by the side Of
the same cow-yhen the answer
finally struck her. Why not
the railroad tracks? Why not,
indeed? She would go down to
the track. drape her grapevine
figure across the track-and let
the train do the rest. That was
simple, and it wouldn't cost any,
one anything.
No sooner thought Of than
acted upon. That night, when
everyone had retired, Elvira dug
out her new dress. 1t was a
very nice dress. Made of blue
taffeta, with ruffles, and every
thing. 1t had cost her SO at
sale, and it was her most priced
possession. It was the most
beautiful garment she had ever
owned.
Wears Best Dress
She put on the dress,
powdered her nose and even
went so far as to put a little
rouge on her cheeks. When
they found her, they would at
least know that she had died
when she looked her best.
Elvira walked through the
main section of the town, and
out through country lane.
The train whistled in the dis
lance, and Elvira fastened her
steps. She entered Farmer
Blair's pasture, which was near
the tracks.
Suddenly she stopped short.
To her surprise and dismay,
she saw that old Nick Blair had
erected new fence. And
Farmer Blair had done a thor
ough job. The fence was of
barbed wire.
The train whistled again.
The railroad track was some 20
feet ahead, on the other side
of the fence. With sigh. FL
vira threw up her hands in
gesture of despair. YEARLY.
she retraced her steps. And
back she went to Farmer Bur-
bridges.
Was it a case of cold feet?
Did she think she might finally
meet the right man on the way
back? No, indeed. I told you
woman was funny creature.
She was afraid she would tear
her dress on that barbed wire
fence!

Hollywood Parade

After spending several days
with her friend, Mrs. Viertel, the
elusive Greta Carlo slipped away
for a days stay at Santa Barbara,
She is back in town again and is
considering three houses, all Of
them in Brentwood, where she
lived before her departure.
Rather dramatic, the story of
how Harry Green came to play the
tragic Jewish tailor in the new De
Mile picture. Harry used to play
comedy on the screen. But De
Mile remembered him in THE
Music Master" He sought Harry
for "This Day and Age" but the
actors salary was to high. Fear
ing to set precedent, Harry was
afraid to cut it for the one part.
On the other hand, he was keen
for the chance to do serious act
ing. Finally, he and De Mile had
another conference. Harry &C.
copied the part, but stipulated
that his salary be only 81 week.

resistance against the attacks of the
bosses. Because of this, the bosses
and their labor agents of the A. F. Of

Another showed the long criminal
record of Benny Levine, one of the
