Joe Penner's Duck
Arrives With Mate

Much to his amazement, Joe
Penner discovered that he has two
ducks.
100000" arrived recently from
the East, where Joe left him when
Paramount asked the comedian to
come to Hollywood for "Collegi-
ate" Private advices forced Joe
to send for him, in order to pre-
serve his professional reputation.
But 100000" didn't arrive
alone. He brought stowaway, or
hitchhiker, Joe doesn't kno W
which. He is slightly baffeled.
Every time he attempts to take
the newcomer away, 100000"
raises a row. Penner has decided
to keep 100000" and his PAL
but needs a name for the new one.
He's trying to think up something
now, but will welcome suggestions.

It was just eight years ago that
the Fox, one of the most beauti-

New York threw open its doors to
a specially invited audience head
ed by the late President Coolidge
and Mrs. Coolidge.
Members of the Cabinet were at
the opening intact as were mem
bers of the diplomatic corps. the
Senate and House and the city
government, besides members of
society. "F" Street became just
one blaze of lights and chauf-
feured automobiles drew up to the
magnificent portals of the Fox
and disembarked their passengers
as bands played and photograph
ers' flashes doomed"
This years anniversary show
will be headlined on the stage
with Glen Gray and His Casa
Iona Orchestra, making their
first appearance in Washington.
Second honors on the stage go
to Bob Murphy, long a favorite

made his debut in motion pic
lures. With him will be his son
and daughter, Dick and Dorothy.
Ted Lewis and his orchestra,
local favorites, make their debut
on the screen in Here Comes The
Band" a merry melange of music
and comedy, in which he is sup
ported by Virginia Bruce, Nat

of others.

HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP,
ICOVer HOLLYWOOD
BY LLOYD PANTAGES

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 18.-Snap-
shots through a transom: Add to
the growing list of stars who are
dissatisfied with their salary fix
ations-Ginger Rogers. Her pres
ent popularity, which is colossal,
doesn't balance with the money she
is currently receiving so there will
undoubtedly be a redeal or trou-
ble-I wouldn't be knowing. BY
the by, did you know that her
RKO contract calls for solo,
starring vehicle (and dramatic to
boo) at least once year? If she
did nothing but make musicals
with Mr.. Astaire you'd soon think
the only thing the little woman
could do was dance, which in any
key is not true. Also in her next
epic of the sea. Follow the Fleet"
and again with Frederick, her
gowns will be more revealing to
show off the Rogers figure, of
which there is none better in this
industry, believe me.
Since everything seems to be
troublesome this morning, we find
Grace Moore, who incidentally is
so beautiful these days that it is
to swoon. is having great diff
culties with M. G. M. finding a
story for her one picture deal on
that lot. It's got to be good to
match up with her Columbia eff
forts or else.
BY an odd bit of accommodating
we discover that Anita Louise
started her career at the tender
age of three, posing for artists.
She's one of the few ladies on
record who was born beautiful
and kept right on being beautiful
up to this very moment. The
usual procedure, according to
medicos, is if you're born beauti-
full you end up quite ugly-or
versey vicey. Sally Blame and
Norman Foster will become Mr..
and Mrs. Foster right in the
middle of October.
Put Lewis Stone down as one
of the gentlemen who is not
superstitious. He took a cruise
on his yacht Serena" all the way
to Alaska with only Is persons on
board and what's more, with the
exception of souvenir hunters, had
luck all the way. The only mar
ring incident occurred when the
fans way up there in that thar
cold country removed from his
yacht the fittings and movable
deck objects as keep sakes and
furthermore insisted on writing
their names on the prov of the
vessel. Until he gets around to
painting it the ship looks more
like a petition than boat-lt
you get what I mean.
The Australian government
keeps reducing it's quota of Ameri-
can films each year till soon not
one American cinema will be
shown in the Antipodes. Their
reason is to accentuate the at
tendance of Australian-made ones
but, due to the inferior quality Of
their product in comparison with
ours, methinking the Australian
picture-goers will get up in arms
and demand the kind of film fare
they've been used to seeing.

the general effect that Hollywood

that Gaumont-British could show

Leslie Howard is another whose

Nevertheless before I grow red
faced about all of this I must
say that I feel what Mr.. Carr

more aptly described as casting
plumbers. Miscasting has weak

Lampkin's Crack Band
If today I seem to be bursting
with rhythm and whoop-de-do,
blame it on Maestro Phil Lamp
kin, who last night induced me
away from the arm chair and
down to WRC studio.
There I heard the assorted
musicians who comprise his Pom
tiac band and they won me.
S'help me. The lads toot and
saw fine swinging melody and
soothing rhythms and Maestro
Lampkin, in his shirt sleeves and
without stick, put them through
their air PAGES.
The Lampkin radio outfit has
been whanging away every Tues.
day night on WRC for some Is
weeks in the biggest musical pro-
gram originating in Washington.
I would be telling an untruth if
I didn't say that now they have
reached that stage of proficiency
and musicianShip where they
give a few pointers to most of
the vaudeville travelling bands.
Maestro Lampkin's counsellor is
Abe Lyman and he has also lent
an attentive ear to Rudy Vallee,
both of whom have given him
some valuable tips. He makes his
own arrangements and contrives
to weave in Instrumentation that
points some of his best solo artists.
For instance he has a college
youth who plays a hot piano. a
harp for accompaniment. For
half an hour last night they kept
me enthralled in the studio and I
trust it sounded as well through
the loud speaker.
AS I departed it was MAESTRO
Lampkin's idea that I serve some
Tuesday as a guest artist. Why
spoil it all Mr.. Lampkin? It's a
good band and not until you get
a booking on the Fox stage will I
consider a public appearance.
That ought to be very soon, the
way your Pontiac boys are 60
ing. Then ask Carter Barron how
he feels about a $1,000 a week
salary.
