MISS D R { ]. I 7
THREAT To
VAN VIE


Their confidence lifted consid.
erably as the result of their clean
cut victory yesterday in the Curtis
Cup matches with Great Britain,
United States women's golf stars
were in Philadelphia today pre-
pairing for new war-the national
women's championship.
Again the international flavor
will be present, for all of the mem.

The cup matches at Chevy
Chase helped bring out the fact
that Miss Virginia Van VIE is not
going to have an easy time de.
Tending her title. At least two
Americans played better golf dur.
ing the series than Miss Van VIE,
namely, Maureen circuit and Mrs.
Leona Cheney. Miss circuit, in
particular, putted brilliantly, and
if she can retain her valuable
edge she will be hard to beat.
Miss circuit paved the way for
the Americans team victory over
the British with 4-and.2
triumph over Molly Gourlay. Five
up at the turn, Maureen relaxed a
little on the home nine, but still
had plenty left with which to turn
back the Britisher. Miss CIRCUITS

Miss Diana Plumpton, 3 and 2;
Mrs. Leona Cheney defeated Miss
Pam Barton, and S, and Miss
Charlotte Cutting conquered
Miss Wanda Morgan, and 2.
The only British victory in the
singles was scored by Mrs. j. B.
walker, who turned back Mrs.
Frank Goldthwaite, 3 and 2. The
American girl, making her debut
in international play, was trying
too hard, and consequently
flubbed many shots on her trip
around the course.

the Lincoln Parkers appeared off
form in their opening games OF
the campaign earlier in the week.
Eastern won in it's debut
against Alexandria High, 7-6,
but its general play was not so
polished as it probably will be
later on. Central dropped a r.
too encounter to the same team
and appeared woefully weak on
attack, and just fair in spots on
the defense.
The two teams held hopes to-
day of faring better, particularly
Central whose aims are to get
into the winning column as
quickly as possible.
Western Wins

q victory in the three games
played yesterday. Coach Ahern's

Plenty Of Material for Mr.Winche|I
In the Crosby Household

HOLLYWOOD, May 25.-Real-
ly, these Crosbys are too amaz-
ing. Last week, X-ray pictures
showed that the Stork is going
to bring two bundles to the Bing
Crosby nursery. And now comes
q triumphant wire from Spokane,
Washington, that Bing's brother,
Ted, has just become the father
Of twins.
This makes five times that
the Crosby seniors have become
grandparents within q year.
Dixie Lee and Bing had Garry
Evans Crosby on June 81. In the
same month, a sister. Mary Rose,
gave birth to a daughter. Then,
in February, Bing's brother,
Larry, became the papa of a
little girl.
The proud father of the twins
is a publicity man for the power
bureau in Spokane.
Only one of the six Crosbys is
unmarried. He is the youthful
Bob, who is working with an or
cheStra and practicing to be-
come q crooner.
Incidentally, the condition of
Dixie Lee Is improved. Bing,
who is marking time on his pic
ture, "She Loves Me Not" was
able to get down to his ranch
over the weekend.

Lending, Borrowing Players Grows
Popular in Movie|and

HOLLYWOOD, May 25.-A sig
nificant development in Holly.
wood of late is the tendency of
producers to borrow players from
each other. They've always done
it, more or less, but recent months
have brought the practice into
wider use. There are more loans
and borrowings than ever, indi-
eating, for a couple of things, the
desire for more flexibility in cast
ing and the dropping Of a false
isolation policy in the belief that
"exclusives" heighten box office
values.
The affiliated Warner Bros. and
First National studios are among
the pioneers in this trend toward
increased amity among producers.
Although possessed of a large
contract list of stars and featured
players, the studios have not hesi-
tated to borrow from other studios
when such a deal would heighten
the effectiveness of a pictures
cast. BY the same token they
have not been hesitant in lend
ing their players to other studios
when such deals would react to
the benefit Of the players, revert.
ing thus and eventually to the
home lot.
Among the recent loans Of
Warner Bros. and First National
have been Genevieve Tobin, War
rem William, Ann Dvorak, Patricia
Ellis, Phillip Reed, Frank Nc
Hugh, Glenda Farrell, Guy Kib-
bee and Lyle Talbot. The studios
borrowing has included Victor
Jory, Charlie RuggleS, Gloria
Stuart, Paul Kelly, Ginger Rogers.
Charles Farrell, Joel McCrea and
"a Albertina RaSch dancers.
The lending and the borrowing
Of playerS-directors and writer's,
too-is regarded as a gauge Of
popularity and a player is deemed
q success just as much on the
number Of requests for loans
which he inspires as on the fan
mail he gets: Even in the cases
Of those stars who are never lent
no matter how many requests are
made, those same requests are one
Of the producers gauges.
The matter of flexibility in
casts has come to be regarded in
Hollywood as one of particular i'm
portance in these days. Pro-
ducers have come to feel that it
Is more to their advantage to bor-
row an outside player than to use
one Of their own when he Is not
as ideally suited for q role as
someone else. Casting players in
pictures for which they are not
suited would result in loss Of
prestige for the player and, Of
course, for his company. With
casting, therefore, becoming al
most scientific in its requirement
that only o player who fits o part
bO cast in 1t. further impetus has
been given to lending and bor-
rowing. It has proved better box
office to do so and the producers

Virginia Ready to
Quit FOR Raft

HOLLYWOOD, May 25.-Al
though she is anxious to continue
her screen career, Virginia Pine
would give it up if George Raft
said the word.
The Chicago heiress admitted
this, but added that she doesn't
believe Raft would ask her tt
make the sacrifice.
"I'm sure he would leave thai
up to me-" declared the pretty
blonde girl, who has captured the
Latin stars attentions to the ex
cluSion of all other Hollywood
beauties.
"Of course, it's too early yet
for me to talk much about a
screen career" said Virginia,
"but if I'm lucky enough to
make a hit, / certainly want to
60 through with it,"
With Raft in the East making
personal appearances and with
the prospect Of a Today stay ir
the hospital, which she has en-
tered for rest and observation fol
lowing her illness in New York
and on the trip to the Coast, the
blonde actress temporarily will
mark time both in her romance
and in her career.
Meanwhile, she has made her
peace with w a rn e Brothers
The studio objected to Virginia
going East and put her off pay
during her absence. Agent AL
Kingston, who handles the Chi.
cago beauty's business affairs,
says he and his client weren't
worried.
"As a matter Of fact" he said,
IT'D have been tickled to death if
Warmers hadn't take up Miss
Pines option. There are several
things I could put her in right
away"
The Raft-Pine marriage may
not take place as soon as the film
colony expects. Latest rumor re.
ports a hitch in settlement nego.
tiations between George and his
wife in the East. Unless some
compromise can be effected, the
divorce may be months in the
offing,
