A Book a Day
This Farce-Comedy Is A Little Teavy
BY BRUCE CAPTION

About, all that you can ask or a light farce-comeGy is that 1t be truly light. When it gets heavy enough to go pumping along the ground it is apt to be pretty hard to read, no matter how entertain ing it may DC in spots.
 That seems to be the trouble with Tt Happened in Prk," by H. z. Hoff. It sets out to be Hilarious and carefree-and it drags, every now and then, in way that takes the edge off it's gayer passages.
 It has to do with young Eng lishman who is sent to a seacoast resort in Yukoclavia to tell tennis racquets.
 His job is made hard by several factors. First, the Yugoslavians don't seem to care much about tennis. Second, just as he gets started the only other Englishman in town proceeds to teach the na- tives how to play cricket, and they haven't time to assimilate two for eign games at once. Third, the young racquet salesman falls deep ly in love with the cricketeer's young wife,
 By way of complication, there is the added fact that the salesman is very anxious to write novel, only he can't think of solitary thing to write about. And then the Yugoslavian agent for his firm, who is supposed to help him in his sales campaign. blows into town in charge of .perGonally conducted tour of score of American ladies, whom he promptly abandons there so that the young Englishman has to look after them.
 All the. clements of uproarious farce-comedy are here, Heaven knows. But they never quite seem to jell. "It Happened in Prk" has it's funny movements. but in the main it's just little bit hard to | read.

Selected Poem
AFTER THE CITY

AFTER THE CITY (Stanton A. Coblentz in The New York Sun.) like one who wanders in scented dream Along dim -tapered halls of gold and jade, Knowing them slum -phantoms that shall
 fade More swiftly than scattered puff of steam, So in breezy land of hill and stream, Roaming brown paths of leaf-cmbroidered
 shade
 Under laurel roof grow afraid The woods will shift, and vanish like gleam To me, who all the weary-footed year Have paced fierce avenues of crash and glare This peace, this silence, is boon too dear, These green-limbed mountains all too strangely
 fair
 Shall I not wake, to find them gone, and hear Stone pavements rumbling, and the car-horns blare?

We don't blame State Bank Commits soner Walter Perry to refuse to become a glorifed Pinkerton for federal authorities. Recently he was asked to submit to Wash ington certain information on individuals connected with state banks, the said lnfor- nation to be used in alleging violations of federal violations.

HOLLYWOOD, Calm years
to come the slight but an
noying difficulties being expert.
enced at one of Hollywood's
studios will be known as the
dressing room revolution" or,
better still, the battle of tenn
peramentS.
To get down to the bottom Of
this strange affair it is neceS-
sary to know that the Para
mount studio recently con.
structed a quake, fire, and flood
proof building to house execu-
tives and a choice selection OF
stars.
Now this building is the ap-
pie of the studios eye. Its
dressing rooms are gorgeous
no other words describe them
and so, thought the studio
chiefs, these rooms would be
ideal spots for stars who liked
modern plumbing, comfortable
couches, chrome-plated showers
and kitchenettes-
But there was another side
to this-the stars side-and the
Paramount players, with but
two exceptions land these only
with limitations), said mo-" or
words to that effect.
The task of convincing Mar
lene Dietrich, Mae West, Gary
Cooper, Carole Lombard, Bling
Crosby and others that they
would be better off in the new
building fell to the lot of Fred
Datig, casting director.
Datig still has a headache
from arguing-and a little less
illusion. His first prospect was
Miss Dietrich, and he Surren'
dered in exactly two minutes.
The star wouldn't move, and

Excuses million Of them!
Datig was desperate and he put
on his best front and his most
logical arguments for Miss Col
bert, who shifted disdainfully
until she saw the place. But
the sale had its few drawbacks.
The star insisted on picking
the coolest of the rooms, then
held back until promised that
the walls would be ripped out
and a large window put into
place.
George Raft was the second
and only other ray Of sunshine
in this history Of the Para
mount players revolution. He
demanded the north suite and
insisted that a window just as
large and important as Miss
Colbert's be made for him.
The Washington times., 1934-09-29

There are eight super-suites
in the building and only two
have been promised occupation.
They're handsome rooms, beau
tifully carpeted and furnished,
easily the most modern in the
film city, yet six of them seem
doomed for vacancy insofar as
the elite star list is concerned.
They all like their old homes
and won't move.
So Datig has his headache;
and he isn't arguing any more.

These impressed me more
by their glamour, I think,
than by any particular merit
or craftsmanship. l was also
allowed the run of motion
picture shows and quickly
became a rabid fan. My i'm
pressions of those early
screen stars are still vivid.
I think the profession had
very personal appeal for me;
at least l distinctly remem-
Der a glow of anticipation
that I might some day be
on the stage myself.
Yet my own direct con-
tact with the theater was
through an uncle and aunt
who have spent their lives
on the stage. They visited
us periodically, leaving a
wake of glowing stories in
finitely colorful to a youth
full imagination. Hearing
these, I was more than ever
determined to plunge into
the glamorous life.
When I first went to
New York, with my mother
and sister, the theater was
already in the first agonies
of decline. Pictures had be-
gun to usurp their hold on
