 Hollywood, April 20.-UP)-A hermit all these years, Mickey Mouse at last has brought himself high hat and frock tails for a plunge into Hollywood society.
 On the night of May Mickey will bedeck himself in his new rainment and with Minnie on his arm drive to the Carthay Circle theater to be the honor guest at his first premiere.
 Picture stars who are forced to bow to Mickey as screenland's most popular entertainer, and the very creme de creme of Southern California society have signified their intentions of turning out for the occasion. It will be the pre- miere of Mickey's newest picture, "Gulliver Mickey" A police. cor don will be there to keep in hand the gaping curious who do not have the $5 for seat inside.
 Proceeds from the premiere will go to the state commission for the protection of children and animals. Mickey's creator, Walt Disney, hopes to stage a similar benefit annually.
 To give Mickey rousing send off in his first social whirl, all the studios have appointed commit tees to boost attendance. Commit tee heads include Jean Harlow, Norma Shearer. Kay Francis, Claudette Colbert, Billie Burke, Jack Holt and Mae West.
 Roscoe Ates' bank account en- joyed a bullish movement to-day, rising on the strength of a court order which reduced his alimony payments to Mrs Clara Ates from $1,561 to $250 a month. The re- duction was ordered by Judge Dudley s. Valentine, pending tr.al of Mrs Ates' suit for separate maintenance. She charges cruelty.
