Love Moments
On the'Q. t.

HOLLYWOOD, March 9.-Be-
cause Hollywood beauties really go
limp in the arms Of their screen
lovers and yield their lips with
genuine ardor, they are becoming
increasingly firm in their demand
for a "closed set" when they are
called upon to do intimate love
scenes.
This fact recently became evi-
dent when Marlene Dietrich, Car
ole Lombard, Claudette Colbert,
and other stars made formal re-
quests that the number of persons
on the set, including studio per-
sonnel, should be kept at an abSo-
lutte minimum during the filming
Of romantic scenes.
They asked that visitors be
banned altogether at such times.
Blonde Carole Lombard gives
her explanation. saying that she
lives her roles, and that the kiss
ing scenes are no exception.
I'VE have a good reason for
asking the director to keep viSi-
tors off the set during the filming
of romantic scenes. Kissing,
whether on the screen or in pri-
vate life, is pretty intimate. and
there is a natural reaction to this
on the part of the actors" she
declared.
For five days recently during
the filming of a romantic Sc
Quence all visitors, including some
studio personnel, were kept off
the set where Marlene Dietrich
and Gary Cooper were making
"Desire" under the personal super
vision of Ernst Lubitsch, who &C
ceded to the feminine stars re-
quest for privacy.
The scenes we're said to be par
ticularly intimate and for that
reason more difficult than the rest
of the picture. Miss Dietrich was
reported to have been kissed no
less than so times by Cooper.

TRIBUTE TO HOLLYWOOD'S ACE I

HOLLYWOOD, March 7.-He is
a minister in good standing, but
his weddings don't take.
Among the famous film couples

Father Dodd, who, in private

Members Of the original Boston
cast, including Glenn Cunning
ham, world record holder, and
Joe Say It Amt So" Mangan
will be among the principals in the
production, which last week was
voted an instantaneous hit.
The hit, it seems, was most no
ticeable in the pit Of Joe's stomach
midway in the homeStretch, where
q regrettable accident occurred.
To the witnesses, it seemed as
though Joe deliberately drew back
and struck Glenn'S sensitive elbow
with his brutal bosom and you
can imagine Joe'S feelings when
later he realized the full enormity
Of his behavior. They say he has
been brooding ever since.
Venzke to Run
Four more Of the better milerS
Of the nation and the world will
be there at post time for the event
and, oddly, any Of them can, and
might steal the show. They are
Norman Bright, who flew in from
San Francisco for the race: the
inevitable and incorrigible Venzke;
Archie Romani and Don Lash.
The latter Is the Big Ten cham
pion and has a rouSing finish.
Bright is the junior champion
and so has he. Romani, I don't
know about except that he was
good enough to win the N. c. A. A.
championship at the distance.
The event is generally recognized
as a preview Of our Olympic
strength at 1,500-meterS, but as to
that, what one does in New York
has nothing to do with what may
happen in Berlin. It Is my idea
that If we can win this title for
the first time since 1908, Wen do
it with q kick-finisher, q man who
The Washington times., 1936-02-01

can follow pace and then come on
in the stretch.
Anyhow, the last time I saw
Cunningham was down at Prince
ton that day when he was tied up
like a man in an old-fashioned
sack race and, somehow, I haven't
been able to forget it.
The coaches, at that, say he Is
coming back. But for purposes Of
tonight I doubt whether he even
approaches his record 4:08 40 on
the DoardS. After all, he's only
in the process Of sharpening his
competition and, If one is ready
in February, one Is most likely to
be un-ready in July.
Olympic Hopes
The special 900 will be note
worthy for the meeting Of Charley
HornboStel, o great man on the
bell lap, and Eddie O'Brien, Of
Syracuse, who has been unbeat-
able from 400 metres to 500
yards. The hurdles will bring
out our Olympic hope, Sam Al
len, Of Oklahoma, who hasn't
much experience on the boards,
and probably will get q little too
much huStling from Phil Good,
the New Highlander, and maybe
even Forest Towns. Allen is q
tremendous man getting away
but the wood runway may stop
him.
