orary lieutenant of police here
it entities him to wear q gold
badge as large as Cameras shoes
Its SO heavy" says Fowler,
I'm afraid to wear tit might
give me cancer Of the chest" ..
Fowler, incidentally, has both pro-
ducerS and writers frowning at
him because of his gratuitious
intrusion into the producer-writer
Squabble with an open letter to
the Hollywood Reporter in which
he says in part, THE big simeon
that came tearing over the Holly
wood mesa on blue Monday blow
ing off the toupees of the scriv-
eners and diSlocating the doors
Of producers RollS-RoyceS, is in
my opinion, an i'll wind. L be-
lieve the academy became deca-
dent and dull when its leaders
mounted pogo sticks and retreated
during the year of the big cut.
The embattled writer's and pro-
ducers will engage in a tourney
Of SteamrolerS with such fan
fare, a wealth Of noise, escaping
vapors and ruptured valves. The
outside world will be let in on
the brawl, the Government will
take a hand and we can all go
back to the copy desk, where a
hundred dollars is good money
if you can get it" And more
along these lines. "Can you pic
ture these mugs earning a grand
or more a week." pipes Fowler,
"squawking about inconsequen-
tialS-when guys like you and me
used to be tickled to death to
pull down 40 bucks week for 10
times the work you do out here?"
Jerry Horwin is now wooing
Virginia Field, in competition
with Owen Davis, jr. Horwin
has just sold a yarn to RKO-
Man Must Live"-in which, iron
ically enuf, young Davis will play
one Of the leads. We spent a
few minutes yesterday afternoon
watching one of the sequences
in "To Marry-With Love-.
The story covers a 10-year period
from 1925 to 1896. This par
ticular sequence was the Dempsey
Tunney fight in Philadelphia.
The kick was to watch the face
Of the fellow operating the water
sprays pouring rain on Myrna
10y and Warner Baxter. I can
understand the thrill-my own
particular yearn has been to turn
. hose on some of these stars
the prettier and daintier the more
thrill. . incidentally, in his next
picture, you'll see the dignified
literary gentleman, Irving Cobb,
engaged in a tomato-throwing
duel with one of the principals
I'VE drift over to where Irving
Cummings is directing "Dormi-
ory". Here we watch some 40
beautiful girls parade in tight
fitting bathing suits to a pool
with Dixie Dunbar, Simone Simon
and Shirley Deane in their midst
=. For : some reason the place
seemed crowded with more than
the usual number of cameramen'S
assistants, carpenters, waterboys,
assistant directors, etc. Forty
gals in bathing suits make a
fetching picture. Among those
in the cast, besides Herbert Mar
shall, Ruth Chatterton and j.
Edward Romberg, is the frail,
milquetoast-lo boxing gent, John
Qualen, who for years made no
dent in the theatrical or cinema
world. His current success may
be attributed to the Dionne Quin-
tuplets. .Qualen was picked to
play the part Of the meek father
in the picture, '"The Country
Doctor. AS a result of his
work in that film, he has been
signed to q five-year contract by
Daryl zanuck with plenty sugar
weekly.
In commenting upon Tammany
Young's death, we observed that
the former Broadwayite seemed
unusually happy because for the
first time in his life, according to
his own statement, he had been
able to put money in the bank
The truth now develops that the
poor fellow had been putting up
q. brave front-for he died abso-
lutely pennileSs and destitute
Friends who have taken care of
the funeral expenses hesitated to
approach w. C. Fields, for years
one Of those closest to Tammany,
because; the star is very sick
much sicker than has leaked out
., incidentally, let us correct

EuSsing the strict police enforce
