They Want Charlotte

Charlotte Mayo, Washington
society girl, is on the verge of a
big announcement. She wants a
career on stage or screen and is
red hot after opportunities.
Yesterday she was eager to be
the new mistress Of ceremonies,
at the Earle Theater, and then
came an offer to take an i'm.
portant role in the Corinne Grit
fifth revival of Noel CoWard's
Design For Living"
This play goes out under the
aegis of Max Gordon and Steve
Cochran. Miss Mayo has been
rendered the important third act
role.
I hear that Design For Living
as movie is not so hot. In fact
believe that the road will 60
head over heels for this Noel Cow
ard play in the key cities which
have only heard about it.
Bernice Bartl, prize student OF
the Clifford Brooke School, also
gets an opportunity. She gave
such a brilliant performance In
the comedy role here, she has
been invited to play the same
character in the road company.

Andrew R. Kelley idea lost in a
maze of costume and scenic mag
nificence which swamped the
story.
power and the Glory" gives
the story a chance. 1t has Spen-
Ger Tracy and it has Colleen
Moore in it's important roles.
They are played beautifully. I
like a picture which seizes your
interest at the start, holds 1t un-
til the final fadeout. If you feel
the same way about it don't miss
Power and the Glory" when 1t
comes to the Fox.
I believe if Hollywood Is ever
going to march forward it ought
to be encouraged in the box CT
flee way when it sends some
thing along as good as Power
and the Glory" Take this as a
tip and if the advice is mislead-
ing remember I backed Washing
ton in the series.

Just heard an amusing echo Of
hat night at the prize fights
When careless ticket-sellers gave
Gupe Velez and Gary Cooper ar
soining ringside seats.
When Lupe and Gary, little
2ussed at first, twisted around and
1urned their backs to each other,
Groucho Marx leaned over from
the row behind and tapped the
Mexican star on the shoulder.
Pardon me-" he said, "but
have you met Mr.. COOPER"
It was an overnight change of
mind which led Johnny Weissmul-
Ter to jump the gun on Bobbe

Vorce decree himself. Johnny told

Picture Ship Motion
With Special Camera

FLOATING" a camera by
delicate series of CONFERENCE.-The
was the means of obtaining un-
usual screen effects for The
Solitaire Man" a Continental
drama featuring Herbert Mar
shall, May Robson, Mary Boland
and Lionel AtWill, now at LoeW'S
Columbia Theater.
When this camera was mounted
in the cabin of an airplane, every
dip and plunge of the ship was
recorded, as the floating device
kept the camera on a constant
axis with the earth.

Bins CrosbyWas
Born Harry

Bing Crosby king Of the Groom
ers, rapidly rose to screen star
dom after sensational perform
ances in THE Big, Broadcast" and
college Humor." He is now ap-
pearing in his third picture for
Paramount, TOO Much Har-
mony," which is now at Warner
Bros. Metropolitan Theater.
His r e al name is H AIRY l..
Crosby, but nobody addresses him
that way. He was born in Ia
coma, WASH. and educated at
Gonzaga University. After col
lege days, he went on the stage.
Paul Whiteman heard him sing
ing in Los Angeles and signed him.
He was a member of the famous
Rhythm Boys. He toured with
Whiteman for three years and
left to sing at the Cocoanut Grove,
Los Angeles. It was there he
made a name for himself as a So

Midnight Start
For "Bowery"

On the famous Bowery, activi-
ties never started until the night
had progressed considerably, and
to add further to the realism Of
the new picture, 'The Bowery," ,"
the LoeWs Palace Theater man
agement will present it with a
special premiere at midnight
Thursday.
There will be lots of "hoopla"
preceding this midnight opening.
It is planned to have one of those
typical German bands in the
lobby for about an hour previous
to the opening, playing those
melodies that were synonymous
with the Bowery.
Accompanying these musical
"reminiscences will be a community
song fest over which Maestro Phil
Lampkin will preside. Other nov
elites are being planned that will
enhance the realism of THE
BoWery."

However, most of these lads
are now prominent and respected
citizens and value them among
my most intimate friendships.
When recently went home to see
my mother for the first time
since coming to Hollywood, the
old gang came over and gave me
a surprise party. It proved quite
a social event, as the bottom fell
right out of the first glass of
beer I picked up, and so did
the beer.
But, I'm still talking fast and
hope they don't catch up to
my lingo for some time"
