Nevertheless, it does seem as though
the past season has had as few re-
verses as any motion picture season
ever and that the stars of today are
pretty much the stars of yesterday.
A few have definitely kicked the
bucket. One or two have eased them
selves out. But in the main the
Hollywood tide has been agreeably
calm, neither washing out so many
as in former years or washing in an
alarming number of newcomers.

Robert Montgomery-Becau he

because his pictures are seldom
cheap-never coarse.
Myrna Loy-Because she is every
mans favorite and because she has
definitely behaved herself in Holly
wood.
Grace Mo0re-Because she made
good music popular on the screen and
because she Is one Of the few good
looking opera singers.
Paul Muni-Because he Is an actor.
Frederic Marsh, ditto.

whether you believe it or not, she is
the greatest box-ofice attraction in
