 Hollywood-Nobody ever accused Hollywood's glamorous sons and daughters of being too modest. It must be admitted that nearly all of them are well aware of their parti- cular talents-apparently an essen- tial quirk in the minds of success full actors.
 But when you consider the fact that every week they receive thou- sands of letters praising them to the skies, the celluloid crowd are pretty modest lot. Seldom do you hear them growing from the house. tops-at least not about their act- ing.
 But they'll boast about other tal- ents. In fact, some of the most retiring will talk an arm off you if you get them started on the right subject. But in Hollywood self-glori- fication in hobby isn't regarded as bragging.
 For instance, Clark Gable is one of the most modest men in the en- tire film colony. Yet he'll spend an hour telling you how he out smarted a mountain lion on a hunt ing trip. Just mention his acting, and he'll say, LAW, that's lot of baloney," and shut up like a clam La Dietrich With Camera. Marlene Dietrich is the same way when it comes to discussing her own histrionic abilities. And she's equally tight-lipped about men. But just get her started on photography and she'll go into great detail about how she spent a whole morning stalking squirrel to get an unusual picture of it.
 If you really want to hear Rich ard Dix talk volubly, you have to bring up the subject or ranching- or babies. Richard thinks he has most farmers backed into a corner when it comes to raising turkeys. And as for changing a baby's dia- pers, you'd think he held all world

 And strong, silent Gary Cooper isn't, a bit silent when the subject is hunting or racing automobiles. Gary considers himself pretty much of an authority on both subjects.
 That's the way these movie folk are. Deep down in their hearts they know their first interest is in acting because that, after all, is what keeps them alive.
 But they won't admit it even to themselves, much less somebody else. They much prefer to think of themselves as living for their hobbies.
