Richard ArIen,
Gary Cooper
to Visit Bali
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1898. King Features
Syndicate Incl

HOLLYWOOD, July 1O.-An
expedition to Bali, romantic isle
of the South Seas, is planned
by Richard Arlen and Gary
Cooper, as soon as they can get
time off from their film duties.
This ought to be within the next
five months.
The pair got the idea for the
trip during the cruise they re-
Gently took on Dicks boat.
For the longer journey, they
plan to charter a 165-foot yacht
on which they will visit Bali and
other islands of the South Seas.
If time permits, they will then
continue by air, rail and steamer
to Europe.
The ideal arrangement, says
Dick, would be for Bing Crosby
and Jack Oakie also to go along.
Then they could charter the
yacht almost as cheaply as they
could all travel first class.
Bing is willing but his radio
contracts probably will prove a
hitch.
AS for Dick and Gary, they're
pretty sure of being able to get
away at the same time.

Andrew. X. Kelley came to him in
a moment of great distress. The
two later acts attempted to build
up the character in appeal but
they were not strong enough to
restore the hero in the hearts of
the audience. It remained a dirty
trick perpetrated with no stronger
motive than gathering a snappy
paragraph.

owed it to himself and the great

Mr.. Zanuck wrote him an ad-

the same amount on July 81 when
he is supposed to submit the COM
pleted script. This is one way of
making California vacation
