HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 6.-Strange
how the legend persists that
Max Baer broke Benny Rubin's
arm during their vaudeville tour,
and that bad blood exists between
the two. Both the champ and
Benny deny the incident and in.
sist they are the best of friends.
However that may be, Para
mount has signed Rubin to assist
Adela Rogers st. Johns Hyland
with the screen play of Max's
picture, Kids on the Cuff" And
Max himself is responsible for the

Six Good Reasons Why You Get
Goose PimpIes at Movies

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 6.-One of
six fundamental fears is response
BILE for that crop Of goose pimples
when you see a horror picture on
the screen.
Guy Endore, in Hollywood to
write a spooky film story for
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer, has given
this low-down on the mystery
writer's craft.
Author Of 1.-THE Werewolf of
Paris" and collector Of an an.
thology of horror tales, Endore
has travelled all over the world
tracing weird legends and &C.
quainting himself with the super
StitionS of many races.
The author lists the following
six fears in the order Of their i'm
portance:
A dead person not really being
dead. This Is why motion pic
ture audiences shivered at Bella
LugoSi in "Dracula."
The fear of going insane.
The fear Of dying under unnat-
ural circumstances-Such as be-
ing buried alive.
The fear Of physical torture
basis Of the macabre thrill in
"Viva Villa" when Wallace Berry
ordered his enemy to be covered
with honey and put in a bed Of
red ants.
The fear Of being shut in,
claustrophobia science calls 1t.
Special fears, such as inability
to look from high places, horror
of reptiles, vermin and the like.
Endore confesses that he him.
self can't bear to look from high
places. King Vidor Is a film celeb
rity who suffers from the same
obsession.

1.-THE Lemon
Drop Kid"
RatinQ: Good

Lee Tracy with Helen Mack. Di-
reCted by Marshall Neilan. Story
by Damon RunyOn. Screen play by
Howard j. Green. Additional dia-
logue by J: p. McEvOy: Photo,
graphed by Henry sharp. Supervised
nv william LeBarOn.
Most of Lee Tracy'S ardent
fans of his fast-talking routine
will be delighted with the style
and ease that he rapid-fire chat
tiers the strange jargon Of the
race track in THE Lemon Drop
Kid'-but they may be a bit
disappointed with the overdose
OF heavy, syrupy melodramatics
dished up for a climax.
Mr.. Runyon, who is, at the
moment, Americas favorite
short story teller, had little
more than an idea behind 1.-The
Lemon Drop Kid"-an idea that
must have read pretty grand in
magazine form, but it took a
large COB of stretching on the
part of Scenarist Howard j.
Green to iron it out for an
hour of cinema entertainment.
Tracy is swell as the race
track tout, but has difficulty
pacing himself for the roman
tic and tragic portion of the
yarn, which, in several spots, is
q trifle too sad!
It's good to see that Marshall
Neilan has most of his old d.
rectorial flare still in mis- pos
session. His handling of Helen
Mack's death scene is beautiful,
and his comedy sequences with
William Frawley absolutely out
Standing) and Minna Gombell
are immense!
The cast is excellent, with
Henry B. Walthall, Kitty Kelly,
Robert McWade, Eddie Peabody,
Baby LeRroy and others men
toned above all winning top
notch raves.
The Lemon Drop Kid" il q
tear-jerker, but with enough
comedy RELIEF to offset most Of

this letter to Lew and explain"
Not a word about Mona her
self. But Mona says:
I'm consoling myself that the
girl may have a mad brother. And
he may have written Lew seven
and a half pages about me-"
Out at Paramount, they're still
chuckling over scene that Is best
described as an irresistible force
meeting an immovable body.
The irresistible force was Josef
Won Sternberg and the immovable
body, Bing Crosby.
The grooming star, who can just
about write his own ticket on the
Paramount lot, came into the
studio commissary the other noon
time and sat down at the table
always reserved for the German
director.
Mack Gray Joined him. When
Won Sternberg made his entrance
shortly afterwards, the air was
electric.
The director came up to the
star and said: This is my table"
Bing looked up and said po-
lttely: II came in here and I was
hungry, SO I just sat down at a
table,"
Business Of terrific tension in
the room-then Won Sternberg
turned on his heel and went to
another table.
Take 1t from Eddie Marin, q
certain Hollywood producer had
his whole company in stitches the
other day. They were filming o
swimming pool sequence In @
musical, and o row Of cuties were
diving into the pool, swimming
across, then running back around
the set and diving in again.
This went on until one of the
girls tainted in the water and had
to be dragged out.
After emergency treatment had
failed to revive her, the director
shouted:
Here, somebody, get an arti-
ficial respiratory"

around with excitement, fairly
beloved: What do you mean

Big jim Farley Puts The Personal Touch In Politics

WASHINGTON, April A..
Super-saIesman James AlOysius
Farley has a misery.
The whole six-foot-two-and-a-

disappointments. It runs counter
to his nature and business ethics.
He has made it a practice to please
ever since he started out with his
first samples Of gypsum 20 years
ago.
Now" he says, "for every per-
son please l disappoint nine.

That is because he. as postmas-

There is one Of the secrets of
Big Jim's'' success. He went aft
er the rock-ribbed upstate New
York counties for Roosevelt ike a
salesman out to enlarge his terri

always been his speciality when he
was ION the road"
According to his own accounts
he must have talked to nearly II
600 persons individually in maxi

standard-bearer. When he got
home he wrote each one a follow

He remembered well. and those
who called him "Jim" didn't get

TURED IN LOCAL WATERS

A porcupine said to be the
largest ever captured in these
waters, was placed on exhibition
yesterday afternoon in the glass
tank at Curry's dock. which is in
charge of Peter Roberts. veteran
fish dealer, who is capable of
judging ''big one" when he sees
it, and this one was included
among the larger members of the
fish family.
Every available inch of space in
the fish scoop was used in taking
the rare catch from the fish car
to place it in the tank. with great
portion Of the rare specimen harg
ing out and over the scoop. with
Captain Copper ably assisting
Mr.. Roberts in removing the fish
from the car to the tank.
Quite a discussion arose over
the dimensions Of the new take
when Captain Copper told friends
in town last night that the sea
monster was of such great pro-
portions that its head would not
get IN an ordinary water barrel
With any degree Of case.
He also claimed that the eyes Of
the fish would hardly get into I

made regarding the immensity Of
the sea product.
Clyde knight sided IN with Cap
tain Copper during the argument.
with Willie Baker siisputing every
