A COLORFUL LADY
Mr.. Sobel, who was the late
Florenz ziegfeld's last press agent
and who did an admirable job in
publiciZing The Great Ziegfeld,"
now has his pockets stuffed with
history and facts on Andrew Jack,
sons administration, and columns
about Peggy O'Neale.
Here in the atmosphere and en-.
vironment where Peggy O'Neale
was once "the talk of the town"
the new Joan Crawford picture is

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. "a. The
land Of glamour. The first thing
Elaine Barrie did when she gave
I'D being Ariel to Caliban Barry
more was to rush off to fortune
teller with a friend, only to be
told that, although she was a nice
girl and a talented one, she would
succeed faster and get to where
she wanted to get. only if she
would stop being so quiet, emerge
from her shell, and raise a little
Hades by seeing life. M-m-m!
m-m-m!. .Methinks that the Hal
Roach Studio is being slightly
prenatal in the casting Of baby
for the new Patsy Kelly-Lyda
Roberti comedy. They want to
shoot scenes of a baby to be born
on September the fifteenth.
We now have a final toll Of the
thespianS in 1.-The Plainsman"
location company, recently re-
turned from the heatiest days OF
Montana. To wit, five hundred
cases of sunburn, three cracked
ribs on one rider, one Indian
treated for a horse bite, another
Indian, Mr.. James Medicine Head,
who had four hundred separate
operations when they took the
spines of a cactus out of the place
where he fell on it, five had cases
Of indigestion, IL cuts, IL insect
bites, three colds, and nine al.
flicted with poison ivy, to say
nothing of bumps, bruises and
Commissions here and there about

least, on the same epic, Gary
Cooper gives out with the most
talk he has ever done in a movie.
In his first talkie, 'The Shop
worn Angel" he only emitted four
lines. In his latest THE Plains
man." via Mr.. De Mile, he gives
out with six hundred and forty
four.
Mona Barrie, we find, is erect

may be yanked as source of poll
teal trouble. q. .Adolphe Menjou in
Sing Baby Sing" plays the part
OF a movie celebrity who discovers
his Juliet during a spree in New
York. While exhilirated he quotes
Shakespeare, becomes Romeo in
a night spot, finally returns to
Hollywood pursued by his infatu-
ated mate. Sounds familiar. The
drama pages of the New York
Times quotes producers as saying
washington is the finest try-out
town for plays in the United
States. Producers with new po-
tential hits find that all of the
Nationals available time is taken
up to New Year. Sounds goody-
goody for a full season.

ABOUT QUEEN MARY
Dear Mr.. Kelley:
In reading your column
Thursday evening, 1 was inter.
ested in F. S. jennings criticism
of MARY of Scotland" Many
years ago 1 saw a performance
of SChiller'S maria Stuart" in
German and Schiller also, for
dramatic purposes, had Eliza
beth and Mary meet in q garden
near the castle where she was
imprisoned. I can remember
very clearly how Elizabeth shook
her fist at Mary in q very I'M
queenly fashion upon leaving
her, because, in modern parlance,
Mary had gotten her goat. Per.
hapS Maxwell Anderson got his
idea of Elizabeth visiting Mary
from Schiller.
While writing you, I'd like to
express myself about movie bon
ers. 1t seems to me that movie
fans who go about looking for
bOners, must have very little
imagination, after / have read
some of the items they con-
slider bOnerS. For example, one
fan complained that Shirley
Temple in "The Poor Little
Rich Grip wore one dress when
she wandered away from her
gOverneSS, but wore q coat and
another dress when she was
taken to the brOadcaSting studio.
Well, couldn't the people who
took her have bought her q
dress and coat, or if they had
no money couldn't they have it
charged? In other words, why
worry about details that have
no bearing on the plot. I think
that people who go looking for
movie bOnerS must miss a lot in
the pictures.
Very truly yours,

KELLEYGRAMS

Neatest trick of the week, if not
the easiest, was Publicist Dan
Terrell's feat of COMPRISING the
story Of Anthony Adverse, 1,245
pages in novel form, into a nut
shell tale of $50 words covered by
nine pictures from Warner Bros.
screen version Of the best seller.
Such a success prompted Mon
Sieur Frank La Falce, Napoleon
of the w. B. publicity office, to
turn over the fiction book Of
"Here Is My Heart" latest Kay
Francis picture, with orders to
cut it down to $500 words and
tell the complete story of a girl
who loved and suffered as in Jay
Mauory's play, Sweet Aloes."
Both illustrated synopses will
be published in future issues of
The Times Hollywood on Parade,
Saturday section, and then you
will be able to judge for yourself
what blue pencil wielder Mr..
4cEIc14 really Is.
In order that Shakespeare's
Romeo and Juliet" in the picture
version, may have the best sound
projection, Merto-G oldwyn-M Mayer
will install a brand new High
Fidelity system in the National
Theater for the washington en-
gagement, which begins Sunday
night, September S. Same pro-
cedure will be followed in all other
first run theaters playing the M.
GIN special.
THEY SCENT POLITICS
With the country deep in the
hulaboo over a national election,
and with Hollywood lined up on
both sides, it is difficult to find
out just what is impartial opinion,
particularly if partisans pass on
the question.
For instance, M-G-M worked
hard and faithfully on a short
story of the Constitution Of the
United States, being very careful
to make recreation based on fact
and extremely cautious that moth
ing resembling political color or
argument crept into the film.
When eve, the People" was
finished. the studio was pretty
proud of it. It's fealty to history
seemed unquestioned. So they
called in certain executives of Re-
publican persuasion. They didn' t
like it, claimed to see New Deal
slant. Then the Democratic ex-
ecutives took a look. They called
1t a short that must have been
turned out to help Governor Ian
don.
M-G-M decided to place it on
the shelf until after the election.
Then 1--WE, the People" will be re-
leased at time when there will
probably be no Supicion of Holly
wood issuing subtle political
propaganda.
