Such indifference to the Holly

that Playwright McNutt saw the
screen version of "The Kibitzer.. p"
He didn't like what the rewrite
men of the Coast had done to his
play. They seemed to him to
have ignored pertinent points and
injected others which were less
significant and not in the mood.
In other words he called the
screen "Kibitzer" a dud. AS a
result he soured on the movies.
Agent McNutt was in the sports
department of the New York

stage success. On the copy desk
was Laurence Stalling, who clicked
soon after with What Price

When Ruth Chatterton heard
that the Joan CraWford-Doug, jr.,
separation story was breaking,
she wanted to cancel her Eu.
ropean reservations and stay in
Hollywood to be with Joan during

the combined persuasion of Joan,
George Brent, and another friend
to talk her out of the idea.
And you can take it from one
who was with Joan until past
midnight on the evening that the
story broke, there was q plenty Of
heartache behind that announce
ment. Also the courage to face
issues.
So it's no go between R.-K.-O.

Come to Rest
in Hollywood
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright. 1898, King Features

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March %.
Within the last six months. pawn
shops all over the country have
flooded Hollywood with steady
stream of medals awarded by
the various countries of the world
for heroic acts in battle.
Ordered to get 38 Croix De
Queries for the picture, "Pil.
grimage," Earl Parsley, Of the
Fox property department, found
more than 900 available. They
can be rented for small piece
of silver, or they can be bought,
in almost any quantities, for
$1.50.
Other medals come slightly
higher. For instance, the Me-
daille Militaire, a French issue
similar to our American Distin-
guished Service Cross, can be
bought for S., while the D. S. c.
is generally obtained for from $40
to $40, depending upon the cir
cumStanceS.
According to Parsley, the only
American medal lacking on the
shelves of the studio property de-
partments is the American Medal
of Honor, the Supreme Badge of
Courage, which the Government
will not allow to be sold.
When studios need one of
these. they simply engage one Of
the nine veterans of six wars,
who legitimacally possess these
medals and who live in Southern
California.
And what price heroism! OF
these nine medalof-honor men,
three are in the Soldiers Home a

four are out of work, and two are
