to acquaint yourself with the way
Tamara sings Smoke Gets in Your
Eyes" but because it is said to be
the only musical show now on tour
in the United States. CA last-minute
survey reveals the fact that Fanny
Brice and her "Follies" are also on
the roadD Still, shall we say that
on the road. We shall-because it Is.
THE signing Of the Four Marx
Brothers by Metro Goldwyn
Mayer for an original screen comedy
called "A Night at the Opera" is
Hollywood's latest good news. Espe-
cially so since it had been rumored
that the Marx brethren had decided
not to be funny any more-but to
take the straighter drama muse. This
idea fortunately came to an end this
Summer when it was discovered Cup
Skowhegan way) that Groucho was
no John Barrymore. So, with thoughts
of Hamlet left in one of Names big
ger drifts, the Messrs. Marx will re-
turn to Hollywood to carry on with

WATCH for Mady Christians! She's
the European screen star who
took Helen Hayes place in wicked
Woman" (although she's twice Miss
Hayes Size) and who is going to be
knockout if the M-G-M studios
know their onions. Besides being good
at being wicked" Miss Christians has
a swell sense of humor (as Mabelle
Jennings will testify if you ask herr.
Jesse LASKY producer of this de-
partments favorite film, Zoo in
Budapest'O was very much excited
this Summer about the prospects of
THE White Parade" Mr.. Lasky had
thought up the story himself-a sort
of Florence Nightingale yarn-had
gotten Rian James to write a novel
about 1t and suggested to his son,
Jesse LaSky, jr., that it would make a
fine film script. Well, the script has
been written and produced-and Mr..
Lasky should apparently be more ex-
cited now than ever about the results.
We haven't seen it yet, but from what
we hear and from the smiles on those
handsome Fox Film Exchange faces
including Sam Wheeler's+this sounds
like one of the screen events of the
season. Loretta Young and John
BoleS are in it. Where, by the way.

JOHN KRIMSKY is in Hollywood
This is the partner of Clifford
Cochran, for whom Hardie Meakin
gave a fiesta last season when Pro-
ducer Krimsky brought his film,
Emperor JONES'" to town. He also
was responsible for "Maedchen in
Uniform" Mr.. Krimsky's letter from
Metro o-Goldwyn-Mayer (where he is
now associated with Harry Rapf) is
very comforting, since it starts of:
Il saw Miss Joan Crawford dashing
around the lot in little cream-col-
ored roaster and Immediately thought
OF you," etc. Mr.. Krimsky seems to
have a story for Miss Crawford-and
so we hope he will meet the lady
as, begad, he shall.
