has lived in furnished apartments
or rented houses. During this pc
riod he has regularly been col
lecting various species of the des-
ert plant and planting them tenn
porarily in window boxes and
flower pots.
Now, however, Don is replant-
ing his collection into the garden
Of his spacious new home in North
Hollywood. He has % varieties
already deposited in sand, brought
specially from the vicinity Of
Palm Springs. But his collection
is far from complete, so if you
glimpse a handsome young man
digging in the sand dunes near
the desert resort, don't be
alarmed. Shadow him for awhile
and you'll discover Don in the
act OF acquiring another souvenir.
Don, though he didn't mention
it himself, is one of the busiest
leading men in Hollywood. Not
only does he make six: or seven
pictures a year for Columbia
studios, where he is under con-
tract, but he also finds time for
four or five other productions for
other companies who always have
bid in for his services.

Chester Morris Is
RiaIto Star
BY Feg Murray

'King for a Night" current at
traction at the Rialto, is an eX-
pertinent in screened emotional
ism; we have Mr.. Laemmle's word
for that.
The story, written by William
Anthony MCGUIRE, is page from
the history of the Williams fam
lily of Masonville, quiet town with
10 o'clock hours for the old folks
and midnight sneak-inS by the
youngsters.
Bud Williams, just a boy about
town has a knack for picking and
winning fights and this proweSs
is brought to the attention Of a
couple Of promoters. Buds dad
is a gentle, God-loving man, min
lister of the gospel, who has tried
to be tolerant with his children
and who has the devotion Of Bud
but is unable to curb the boys
rough and tumble ambitions.
Young Williams is devoted to
his sister, girl with his tenden-
cies to independence, and when
the promoters gravitate to New
York with their new-found cham
pion-in-the-bud, the girl follows.
Then the lure of New York,
the speed, the pent-houses, the
chance to promote her brother,
make a butterfly out of sister,
and when the showdown comes,
the villain is killed, Bud takes
the rap for sister, but the cops
give him time to win the cham
pionship and thus keep one
promise to the folks back home.
Bud goes to the electric chair,
still the show-off, the devil-may-
care boy who could even take an
ignominious death on the chin.
Chester Morris stars in the
title role; Helen TWelvetrees, for
whom we once had great hopes,
plays Lillian, the sister; there is
a brief role inserted to accom-
modate the talents. Of. Alice
(hey-heyl White, but what hon.
ors there are go to Grant Mitch
ell, who, as the father, gives a
sincere and moving performance.
Short subjects include a deadly
attempt at comedy, featuring
Louise ,Fazenda, and a newsreel
marking time with current events.

wood, too. We heard a lot of
rumors to the effect that her
husband Ken McKenna didn't
know a thing about their separa-
ton until he read it in the
papers! We thought it a pretty
mean story to swallow and asked
Kay about it.
She emphatically denies the
whisper and says that she and
Ken talked it all over for days
before they both decided to
make the public announcement
of their rifting through the
Warner Studio, where Kay is
employed and which they did.
She also added that McKenna
went to visit his family to tell
them Of the coming separation
and that he was with them when
the story broke into print.
And speaking of Warners-they
issued an order to their writing
staff recently that no outside tele
phone calls were to be made from
their offices. So one high-priced
scribbler got busy and figured out
that in saving the nickel it costs
the studio from $25 to $40, for
every outside call that a writer
on the lot now feels he must
make.
You see, writer's are always
hungry-and by the time a tele.
phoning scribe has chatted with
everyone he meets to and from
the pay stations. and has stopped
lat the studio commiSsary for a
bite and cuppa cawfee, it runs
into big money if figured in TIME.
Free suggestion: Why not put a
pay station in every office in the
writer's building?

Stars That Cheat

My complaint is registered once
more against vaudeville headliners
who come fresh from Hollywood
and hold audiences too cheap. It
irritates me to see name acts
booked, given extravagant sal
aries, only to bounce out on the
stage with something that appar-
emily has been thrown together
in a short Pullman ride.
I gave Doris Kenyon great
credit for trotting out a real act
on which she spent time and
money Same goes for the Dun
can Sisters, and particularly
Rosetta. But fooey on a score of
others who provide no better en-
tertainment than the No. 2 act
and half the time are not as de-
serving of the applause they get
as the hard working acrobats.
On my score card every act on
the Earle program which closed
last night surpassed Wheeler
and Woolsey in entertainment
value. This is travelling on repu-
tation with vengeance.
