Bing Crosby boo-doo-da-da-boo
fans have a grand musical treat
in store for them with Pennies
from Heaven" in which the
screens and the radios favorite
crooner has several you'll whistle-it
tunes, thanks to the sure-fire COM
posing duo Of johnson and Burke.
And Bing seems to be in better
voice. Or, perhaps, the story, as
trite as it Is, provides an easier
locale for the grooming Of catchy
melodies. At any rate, Mr.. Crosby
will fascinate you with such tunes
as Pennies from Heaven" the
title piece, lone, Two, Three" and
one other, the title of which l
can't get straight.
Despite a rambling, rather aim
less and certainly unimportant
plot. Crosby manages to be very
much as ease, very much his mi
mitable self. Aided by a capable
little lady in the form of Edith
Fellows, Bing Is able to twang the
scenario threads into something
that resembles story.
Lucky for Producer Emanuel
Cohen that he was able to Sc
cure Norman z. Mcleod as a d.
rector. Norman has a flair for
spotting comedy, gags, a tear or
two, a bit of romance and music
just at the proper moment. OBJ
viously and with but one idea in
mind, Mcleod guided his players
to points where he could deliver
sock entertainment. He got swell
performance and great songs from
Crosby, good and outstanding
piece Of work from little Miss Eel
lows and some terrific low-down
Harlem hot stuff from that mas
ter of the trumpet. Louis Arm
strong.
Although her role was somewhat
unsynpathetic, Madge Evans
made it shine. She can take a
bow for turning in a neat piece Of
work, while Donald Meek, Mana
Bryant, Tom Dugan, Nydia West
man and others completed the
cast.
I hope that some day somebody
writes q real bang.up yarn for
Bing. In the meantime, however,
I imagine we'll just have to strug-
gle along while he saves many a
weak idea with his swell grooming.

Hollywood Has
Own 'C-Men'

WOOD. Nov. 81.
They're the Omen of Holly
wood: A group Of quiet men who
guard the portals and watch over
the safety Of studios and stars.
They form the strangest police
group In the world, trained not
only in regulation police methods
but in many Of the methods Of
the London Bobby or the North
western Mountie.
The varied details of studio po.
lice forces have brought about an
entirely new peace officer in the
cities that lie behind studio walls.
FORCE OF PICKED MEN
A force of rs picked men, for
instance, watches day and night
over the Metro-Go Goldwyn.Mayer
studios and its people. Some are
uniformed officers at gates and
handling traffic on its streets.
Others are guards watching over
valuable properties. Some are
watchmen patrolling the sets and
silent studio streets at night.
Each man qualifying for the
force is fingerprinted and his
prints checked with the National
Identification Bureau in Washing
ton. Each man attends a police
school conducted by Chief w. P.
Hendry, former chief of Culver
City, Cal. First aid, fingerprint-
ing and Identification, civil and
criminal law. investigation, marks
manship, police drill and physical
instruction are on their curricu-
lurn. Passed by the school, they
win uniforms and are sworn in
as State special officers.
Courtesy Is stressed as carefully
as with London Boobies. If Clark
Gable forgets and parks his car
on q wrong studio street, the Off
Ger begs him to "move the car or
I'll be on a spot with the chief"
HELPED BY POLICE
When jeanette MacDonald's
car broke down, and she asked
Police Capt. Eddie Coppo to get
her a taxi. the captain instead
furnished his own car to drive
her home.
When Jean Harlow was wor.
ried by a curious fan lettering
about her house, a studio police.
man volunteered to guard the
place during his off hours. found
the fan, ascertained that he
meant no harm, and explained
that he was alarming the star.
Apologies from the fan followed
and Miss Harlow was treasured.
When jewels or valuables are
used on q set, a studio policeman
stands guard. Joan Crawford
often wears her own jewelry in
pictures, and invariably has the
same policeman standing by.
If a bullet must be fired from
a gun, as when a bottle in
Lionel Barrymore's hand was
shattered in Public Hero" a
studio police marksman handles
the gun. The police pistol team
is composed Of marksmen who
can put on an exhibition shoot
ing cigarettes out Of a mans
mouth and similar tricks.
"Gate crashers" are invariably
spotted by the studio police who
turn back about 5 such daily.

Butterworth conferred with

The owl shrugged his feathers
complacently and sneered at the
interviewer.
"Now tell me all about your

interviewer.
The owl flew out the window.
ButterWorth flew into a calm.

PURSUED BY SLAVES
Fortunately, at this juncture

GALES DELAY CONSTRUCTION
 METLAKATLA HEREINAFTER

Damage to the piledriver at Met lakatla. owned by the Annette Is- land Canning company, means a further delay in construction of the temporary breakwater there, it was reported in Ketchikan by E. C. Hud- son and H. B. Benson. The pile driver was lowed to the Mckay Marine Ways for repairs.
 The driver was damaged early Sat urday morning, December 5, while moored to the cannery dock when a strong northeast wind sprang up. MT. Hudson estimated the velocity at 60 miles an hour and both he and Mr. Benson said that had the driver not beth lowed away from the dock, it would have been com pletely lost. The driver was moored at Driest point for two days until the wind subsided.
 Hudson's boat, the Mary Eleanor, and the Jocelyn, skippered by Ben son, brought the piledriver to Ket- chikan after a 14-hour tow from Driest point. The driver was sub uleISeu nuCu OI Iue ulSIduC6J they said.
 The driver was at the dock prep aratory to setting piling for tenn porary breakwater to protect the small craft in the harbor which is exposed to a northeast wind, Hud- son said The city council at Met lakatla recently asked boat own CTS there to produce 800 piling at half the market price for the break water. The piling is to be driven in rows 700 feet long. Eight boat owners responded and some already had brought in piling when the storm came, damaging the driver and delaying the project, which is badly needed, Hudson said.
 The driver, valued at $19,OOO, was lowed from the dock, against which it was pounding, by three boats, the Jocelyn, Theodora, Ted Benson, skipper, and Empress, Ben Ridley. skipper. The Jocelyn and the Mary Eleanor stood by during the two days it was moOred at Driest point

 Hints
 To remove the disagreeable odor from the hands of people who work picking shrimps or crabs or fish cannery, or from peeling onions: We'll rub a little freshly prepared mustard over the hands and rinse in clear cold water; all smell will then be removed.
 How to tell good bacon: Good bacon is red in the lean and the fat is white and firm.
 Potatoes baked in their skins will always come out more dry and mealy if a small piece be cut off one end to allow steam to escape in the cooking.

Hollywood-Partner Jones Is an
old COW hand from the Rio Grande
who has helped write motion pic
ture history For 20 years he has
served film studios as a trick rifle
and pistol shot and as a character
actor.
He's 81 now, and, as the result
Of tumble from horse In film
scene last summer, Is not very spry.
But he isn't headed for the last
roundup yet. Give him his trusty
shootin' irons and he still can hit
q dime at so feet. You hold the
dime.
Mr. Jones is tall, bulky gen.
tlernan with an diversified mustache
and a freckled bald head. He be-
gan his shootin' -and-actin' career
along with Tom Mix, Harry Carey,
and Hoot Gibson In early two-reel
westerns. Fans used to marvel at
thu Workmanship Of those cowboy
sta2s, but 1t was Partner who ac-
tually did most Of the shooting.
He shot holes through hats, clip
ped cigarets out Of actors mouths,
and busted whisky glasses seven
Ways-for Sunday as villains raised
them to their lips. These tricks he
learned as a Buffalo Bill show per-
former after he left his fathers cat
tie ranch near Del Rio, Tex, where
he was born.
He called everybody "pardner' in
those early Hollywood days, and it
wasn't long before the word be-
came his nickname. Actually he's

telephone directory as Partner Ed

under the name Of Partner"

opportunity to see "Libeled Lady"

Jean Harlow and Spencer Tracy,
also Postal Inspector" with Ricardo
Cortez and Patricia Ellis.
Sundays new show will be head
lined by "Old Hutch"
There Is more than mere wealth
Of humor In this new character
who comes in the person of Wal
lace Berry. He Is the essence Of
rich, good humor, but beyond that
he symbolizes the easy tolerance
Of America, the quiet acceptance
Of fate and in the last analysis, the
fiery individual who, when driven
to fight, does it with his whole soul,
his strong body and two good fists.
Most people will recall the story
of "Old Hutch" which was written
by Carrot Smith and appeared in
The Saturday Evening Post. 1t Is
the account of mo account" in
the eyes of harsh critics, but low
able man nevertheless. He is the
LATEST man in town and fishing Is
at once his business, his pleasure
and his hobby.
In his aimless wandering about
the country he stumbles upon box
containing fortune in thousand
dollar bills. Obviously, a man who
seldom has tobacco money, cannot
attempt to spend important money.
And so odd Hutch" goes to work
ON a farm in order to make his
fellow townsmen believe that he is
saving his cash. In that way, he
figures, he may sooner or later try
to cash one of those precious bills.
The events that transpire from
this point make for grand enter
tainment, several superb thrills and

tainment. superbly rendered by q

pennies From Heaven"
Opens Today at State
Theater

Something fell right out Of the
sky this morning into Warner
Brothers' State theater and proved
to be Pennies From z Heaven"
which certainly should get the palm
as the years most tuneful picture
as well as one Of the most amusing
1t gives Bing Crosby sprightly
vehicle in which to g. to town, and
go to town he does, with some OF
the catchiest songs you've ever
heard.
And Bing's acting talents are be-
coming more apparent with each
film he makes. He Is a born come
dian; and he gets plenty Of oppor-
tunity to show his wares In this
picture, for 1t Is literally filled with
laugh-provoking situations and dia-
logue. Bing is nobly aided and
abetted in his foolery by royal
, cast that includes Madge Evans,
Edith Fellows, Donald Meek, John
Gallaudet and Louis Armstrong,
colored king of swing music, and
his band.
Miss Evans does her role TO a
turn, experimenting a natural gift
of lovelineSs with some very capa-
BILE acting. Little Edith Fellows,
13, but full-fledged acrtess, gives
a performance that matches even
her own in "She Married Her
Boss" She's lot of actress, all
right. Donald Meek once again
does the trick, squeezing every
laugh out Of Q part that just drips
with comedy. John Gallaudet, In
a brief appearance, is completely
convincing In a difficult role.
The story concerns Larry Poole
an ex-convict vagabond troubadour
He is asked by condemned MUIR
derer In prison to look up the fam
lily Of the murdered man. Larry
finds little girl and her grand
father, poverty stricken. Then be-
gins the highly entertaining tale OF
how Larry contrives to keep the
child and the elderly man out OF

duty Is to put them there.
