There's q very touching story,
and 1 believe it's true, on what
eventually brought the Tracys
together. They had begun to
see each other again and their
relations were more friendly.
But one day the boy said to the

That cinched 1t. The Tracy

don't hear as much about them
as about the Dietrichs, the Clark

and the rest of the girls and
boys who glamorously exude sex

small towns.
Steadily, through the months,
they go on making pictures, and
steadily they go on drawing nice,
comfortable pay checks. They
don't have to worry about Holly

and the right front, they just go
about working for their respec-

The Ten Best "Stooges" In Motion Pictures Are
Selected by Comedian Ken Murray

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 23.-Stoog-
ing has become the latest of the
HOLLYWOOD arts"
So says Ken Murray, faSt-talk-
ing clown of the stage and veteran
funny man of the screen.
Murray essays a definition of a
performing stooge-
"A stooge is one who, while be-
ing made ridiculous, centers upon
himself the laughs and pathos of
the action. He serves as foil for
the stars chatter-the prompter
or the butt. He may appear as
a loWly individual, but, without
him, many comedians would have
to quit the stage and go to work. "
Murray, at the present time,
confeSses he is only a "one-stooge
man"-and that chap is Milton
Charleston. The pair have been
together for six years. In time,
Murray hopes to acquire as many
as Ted Healy, who tops the field
with four.
In line with the "ten best" epi
demic, Ken offered the names of
those he considers the most
famous stooges of the screen.
They are:
Frank McHugh
SchnoZzle Durante
Patsy Kelly
Warren Hymer
Nat Pendleton
Zasu Pitts
RoSco Ates
Sterling Holloway
Sid Silvers
Allen Jenkins.
Murray explained!
Probably some Of those whom
I have mentioned will resent be-
ing called stooges. A few have
had stooges of their own, but I
am considering them from the
standpoint Of how they acquired
their success-and records show

Cinderella Tootsies Are Rare

If Cinderella came to Hollywood,

And don't mistake me, the

They get as many letters and
are as we'll known in their re-

had been turning out pictures
regularly and making money with
little thought to the tremendous
popularity he was building. "The
