HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 17.-Take
it from film travellers to the U.

Palo Alto, the boldest small-time
racket on the coast is operated by
a roadside stopping place near
ViSalia.
Several Hollywoodites stopped
there over night on their way to
the big game.
At the clerks desk is a sign
that plainly says: Rooms, $1.5O.'
But when the cinema crowd
checked out they received bill
for IS. Protesting, they were
informed that the lower rate ap-
piled only "in season"
Asked when this was, the clerk
blandly replied: LAS soon as the

Two Homes in Film
Citv for Gertrude

Many Hollywood stars can boast
of owning two automobiles, but
Gertrude Michael, possibly is the
only one to maintain two resi-
dences in the picture capital.
Miss Michael, currently work
ing in Father Brown, Detective"
has a home in Beverly Hills where
her mother and brother live. She,
herself, stays in an apartment
few minutes drive from the
studio.
The reasons. she explains, are
two-fold. BY living near the stu
dio, she doesn't have to get up
quite so early in the morning, and
also she doesn't disturb her
mother with her early departures
and late arrivals, caused by the
shooting schedule Of the picture.

The lone BIG break" that

I last saw you.
I was featured in the
Broadway production of
"Whistling in the Dark. "
The show came to Holly
wood. Motion picture pro-
ducers saw it, and couple of
days later I was called for
interviews at a major studio.
Since then, I've been busy
as I could be. Learning
much about motion picture
making. III say this for it,
I'm never caught red-handed,
as l used to be, by not know
ing my lines.
You'll pardon me if I re-

paintings you used to give
me. But here it's different.

received the glad news that he

When I was 10 years old I
studied ballet dancing. My
father, who was a professional
dancer, turned me over to an
other instructor because he said
I had nothing more to learn
from him. Like every young
girl in those days, I dreamed of
the Imperial Ballet and worked
hard so that 1 might be ad-
mitted to that fine company.
But one day, playing with my
friends, I fell from a tree. I
lay in bed for nine months,
with complete paralysis threat
ening me. After I recovered, I
could not bring myself to climb
a tree-in fact, I was even
afraid to run up or down the
stairs. In 1--WE Live Again" it
was necessary for me to play a
scene with Frederic March on a
high branch of an apple tree.
I was very proud Of myself when
I managed to climb without
help!...
