Hollywood Gossip
By PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Stan Correspondent

SSee
 Hollywood -Surest way to get ahead in Hollywood is to develop versatility. Players worry about be- ing typed in certain kinds of roles. What they should worry about is being typed as actors.
 Take a fellow such as Gregory Ratoff, whom most fans know only as a comic with an almost unin- telligible accent. MT. Ratoff, though, is doing very well in Flickerville' He has, a four-way contract with 20th Century Fox. He writes, acts, directs, and is an assistant produc- CT.
 Sometimes he does several things at once. He was co-directing Jean Hershoit in Sins of Man" and at the same time acting in ''The Road to Glory" Rushed from one stage to another, always in the army uni- form of a French soldier. He has written some screen original, and produced and staged 8 number of plays before coming to Hollywood.
 Sid Silvers, another comedian has some lesser-known talents which are no less important to the studio. He does everything except sweep the sound stages over at M- G-M. He acts, dances, sings, writes songs, writes dialog, writes screen stories. "Born to Dance" in which he's appearing currently, is his sorry.
 
 Triple Threat
 Frank Craven is a triple-t threat man. Before moving west he auth ored and starred in several plays He acted in his first picture, in 1929, and then was signed by Fox as a writer. Later for Warmers, he wrote the screen play of That's Gratitude" then acted in 1t and directed it.
 The screen play was an adapta- tion of the play he had written for y--+-- s.--~-- Tc-s~-- i>~.; r.l<'

 Mae West is a busy gal. And you needn't snicker. She gets writing credit on all the screen plays o1 her pictures. She is privileged by contract to make up her own dialog and does. In New York she wrote produced and starred in Sex" and Diamond Lil." Sex" was SC naughty that she had to find time to serve a To-day sentence on Vel fare Island.

 Matter of Pride
 Versatility is matter of pride al well as of remuneration. Maybe you have noticed how many directors like to appear, even in extra roles in their own productions.

CASHING OF OLD AGE
PENSION CHECKS

Merchants and other business
people who are called upon to cash
old age pension checks are being
asked by Margaret Curran, admin
istrator of the Morgan county old
age pension office, in the court
house building, to make sure OF the
Identification of the persons for
whom they cash such checks. "This
is asked primarily as protection
for those who are on pension rolls, :"
Mrs. Curran said. Before you cash
an old age pension check, be sure
you know the person for whom you
are cashing it. You can identity
the checks because they all have
printed on them that they are to be
paid from Division of Aid for the
Aged funds. The checks all bear on
the back a warning to be sure OF the
identity of the person presenting
the check before you cash it. Cases
have been reported over the state
where checks were stolen from the
mails or from the rightful recipient,
and cashed. In Springfield recently
two men were arrested by police
and federal operatives, with the aid
Of pension Investigators, and con-
victed of stealing several pension
checks from rural mail boxes. They
were given prison terms.
The best rule to follow is this:
II someone you do not know pre-
sents an old age pension check to
be cashed, refer him to bank, or
tell him he will have to get it cash
ed by someone who knows him.
sion check illegally will be unmask
ed, or prevented from cashing it,
and the rightful recipient will be
protected"
