70 AA1NAAS JOhn Gilbert
The Captain Hates the Sea-"
With police escort, John Gilbert,
Victor McLaglen, Alison Skip
worth and Fred Keating took off
from Long Beach for the scenes
aboard ship, only to find upon
trying to land for supplies and at
the same time to let said visitors
off, a very angry and menacing
mob of strikers standing on the
docks waving their fists and
threatening not to let anyone
land. The solution was to go back
to the briny deep and send the
guests to another landing in speed
boats, which was done safely
though thrillingly.
BuSby Berkeley, if he had his
way, would have naught but ladies
of Venus de Milo proportions in
his pictures. Fortunate for we,
the pewblic, who like our gals
more willowy, he does not have
his way, and we are dished out
little women of all sizes. Charles
Butterworth'S secret passion (and
not so secret) is ice cream cones.
He consumes at least a dozen a
day. If you would really like to

stereotyped cut flowers, potted
plants which she can stick in her

Fashion note: All the gowns
worn by Ann Harding in The
Fountain" have been designed
with psychological individuality
for the character she is portray
ing. I hope you notice this when
you see the picture. Clark Gable
will be off to the desert to bag
an eagle, a scorpion or what have
you upon completion of his pres
ent opera. It is very possible
that Jackie Cooper's stand-in,
Johnny Dunsmuir. who is prac-
tically dead ringer for Master
Jackie, will be given a featured
role in "The Life of Mark Twain"
The disappearing vacation fad has
now struck Jean Parker, who
claims she wants to hide away
some place where she can wear
overalls. Furthermore, this little
woman claims that every morning
when she awakens she does a
series of cartwheels. Youth!

Defines Gossip
"DO you know what the word
gossip meant originally in the
Old English language? It comes
from the old word gOd-sib,
meaning gOdmOther or god
father. We can imagine that
the christening Of a new born
child in old England was the
occasion for feaSting and merry.
making. The godfather or god
mother gave big party for the
young stranger who had Joined
the fellowship Of mankind. His
chances of making . success
were discussed. 1t was a family
gathering where all the rela-
tives discussed their plans-and
people. And 50 the word gossip,
way back in the old fifteen hun
dreds, came to mean idle chat
ter" And they say that Satan
always finds work for tongues
to do and today the word gossip
not only implies idle chatter,
but malicious idle chatter"
Then he adds:
"And let me put it down as
. psychological law at this time:
A gossip and the person who
listens to the gossip are both
suffering from an inferiOrity
complex"
Well, what an inferiority com
plex I must have for here is q
psychological law I neither believe
in or respect. Gossip can be in
teresting without being malicious
or mischievouS. For instance,
have heard Earle customers gos
sip about the "Voice's" contribu
tion to the stage program this
week. Some wondered how he
got into vaudeville. others
he didn't belong on the
Chatauqua platform and more
thought his act would be better if
he answered questions. Whereas
my contribution to the gossip was
that his book is better than his
act.
