MAE WEST RUMORS RIFE
Scramble for Blonde Predicted
IF She Becomes a Movie
Free Lance in Future
By ANDREW R. KELLEY

Stories drifting through from the West Coast that Para
mount and Mae West will part company They hard
to credit nasmuch as the round blond with the violet
eyes is by exhibitors Paramounts No. box office
star Barron of Loew has already begun to brag
about the fact that the Palace gets Macs latest release Kon

1t may all be part Of the great of bayhoo but the
reports say that the studio has tired of her temperament

If Paramount should let Mae West go, there will be the
greatest scramble in motion picture history her For

With the Leaders
Anyway it works out Mae West
has survived much longer than
those who predicted in 1888 that
"She Done Him Wrong" marked
the height of the hussy craze
with the movie public. that La
West would die with it as a movie
star. Since then I'm No Angel" "
Belle of the Nineties" and Coin
To Town" showed that while
Macs friends might be cooling off
q little she was still up with the
box office front runners.
One year ago when the indepen-
dent exhibitors of the United
States were polled by Motion Pic
ture Herald on the 10 best box
office stars, they voted as follows:
Will Rogers, Clark Gable, Janet
Gaynor, Wallace Beery. Mae West,
Joan Crawford, Bing Crosby, Shir-
ley Temple, Marie Dressler ana
Norma Shearer. The results were
The Washington times., 1935-11-22

based on business from September
/, 1888, to September /, 1884, which
explains how the late Marie Dress
Ter was included in the magic list.
The 1885 poll is now being tabu-
lated and, unless all preliminary
signs are misleading, little Shirley
Temple will go to the head Of the
class as very easy winner. Janet
Gaynor will probably drop out to
make way for the Fred Astaire
movie fever and Katharine Hep
burn will find a place in the magic
Ten. But Mae West will still be
in the money, say the money
prophets.
I was among those completely
fooled by "She Done Him Wrong" /"
When I saw it previewed I figured
it a one week picture at Loew's
Palace. So did other wiser theater
men. 1t played the Palace one
week. Then went into Warner
Bros. neighborhood houses to raise
havoc and come back again and

again for repeat engagements.
There has never been q picture
like it for sustained popularity at
the box office.
Mae West, to my mind, has
been Shrewdly handled by Para
mount. She hasn't been over
worked as a marquee lure and
has been able to keep in the
public eye and mind by the army
Of imitators who sway their hips
and keep her suggestive slogan
alive with theater audiences,
New Dramatic Editor
Betty Hynes steps into the
dramatic chair Of the Washing
ton Herald and once more the
suffragettes have q representa-
tive on the local board Of critics.
Miss Hynes tells me she has
been an interested observer Of
the passing parade, both drama
and movie division, since 1925,
occasionally as q reviewer. So
an ardent first nighter now
moves into the aisle seats re-
served for the Monday night
shock troops. Recently she has
been editing the woman's pages
of the Herald.
AS a veteran Of 500 odd first
nights and some 1000 previews
may I salute the new editor,
wish her no greater burden than
keeping the weekly battalion Of
pass seekers contented.

Circus Prosperity
Daddy Simpson, father of the
sports departments George Simp-
son, is one of Washington's in
durable circus fans. He dropped
down to Virginia last week to see
the Ringing Bros. show give its
farewell 1885 performance and get
ready for winter quarters in
Florida.
The circus, by the way, is a
good barometer of the nations

since 1926. The big tops money

time large-size dollar bills during
the season just ended, which
shows that the farmers and the
rural communities were fishing
currency out, of the sock or the
old cedar chest. The ticket takers
also handled 100000 in gold coin,
which was promptly turned into
the Treasury. Another sign
that the prudent were investing
this year in three-ring amusement.
They used to say that Harry
Lauder was the champion enter
tainer for bringing out custom
ers who never saw any other
show. Box-office men still joke
about the moths which flew out
when some of the Scotchmen
opened their wallets to buy a
balcony seat. Now, it seems, the
circus is jeopardizing Harry's rep
utation with the thrifty.

FIRST PARADE
Memorial Day Crowds Enjoy
Demonstration by Newly
Organized Group.

Making their first official public ap-
pearance, the local Legion Drum and
Bugle Corps treated Memorial Day
crowds to an exhibition of drilling and
original formations that earned con-
siderable favorable comment. The corps
made its first appearance in the Mem
orial parade Thursday morning and
then gave a street demonstration later
in the day.
Under the direction of Harold Dillon
drum major, the corps made striking
appearance in shining black helmets
and snappy red and black uniforms.
The snap and precision with which
the group executed the formations drew
much comment on the fact that the
corps has only been organized since last
November and that the greater majority
OF its members had never played in
struments before.
Members of the corps include:
Drum Major Harold Dillon; Misses
Helen Roiko and Frances Shepel
