HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 27.-Thanks
to surgery, Adolphe Menjou has
taken a completely new lease on
life. For the first time in a year,
he had his first cup of coffee one
morning this week and his first
square meal. Heretofore sitting at
a table was anything but a CHEEKY
thought to Adolphe. But today all
is different and he's like a little
boy with an ice cream cone. So
now that he's definitely on the
mend you can expect to see a new
and finer acting Menjou on the
screen.
Really, Mr.. Cheever Cowdin
will have to be given back to the
Indians if he doesn't soon make a
statement about the purchase OF

Elizabeth Wrenn Du Pont up and
got herself married the fifteenth
of this month to Leonard Govett.
You've seen her picture advertising
soaps and things. I'm sure.
Hear tell that a young well,
known contract player in our
midst took a lady out and gave
her such a complete mauling
through ~hiS unwanted affections
that she's going to sue him and
as a consequence you can throw
his career right back into the ash
can.
When Winfield Sheehan returns
from a hasty jaunt to Europe, he'll
take his producers berth well in
hand and turn out 10 epicS a
year for Paramount. In case
you've forgotten him so soon, he
is the gentleman who was the
head of Fox for years until goth
Century came in on a merger and
politely but firmly gated him-i1
you get what I mean.
Fred MacMurray'S salary tiff
with Paramount has all been ad.
justed, much to his satisfaction.

VAUDEVILLE BOSS
And speaking Of orchestra con
ductors I think the memories Of
Freddy Clark If they are ever set
down in type would be interesting.
For Freddy has seen vaude
vile, and played vaudeville, from
the time that it was really great
entertainment until today, when
it is more or less microphone and
stage band diversion.
I think the Earle's conductos
is the best vaudeville leader
have ever seen on the podium.
don't say he has the best band In
captivity. Nothing like it. He
can't play fancy overtures and
his brasses blare too much for me
when I crave soft music. But he
can play q Show-four or five
miscellaneous acts such as Guy
Wonders books and defendS-get
them on and off without missing
cue, unless perhaps, you catch
the first Friday show.
What I have often wondered Is
what is going through Freddy
Clark's mind after he watches
some ham actor or actress 90
through the, twenty-fifth show Of
a four-a-day schedule. Does he
think for instance, Of Charlie
Chaplin in Karno's Might In
An English Music Hail." or Lew
Dockstader. Does he think OF
Mcintyre and Heath. Of Will
CreSsy and Blanche Dayne, OF
the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
the Meistersingers. Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jimmy Barry, Of Ethel
Barrymore in Barrie'S "The
Twelve Pound Look" Of the EN-
pire City Four, of James Rich
mond Glenroy. Marshall p. Will
der, Frank Fogarty, Harry Lau-
der and Ching Ling Loo.
If he does think back to these
days-and I'll bet a good rosy
red pippin he sometimes does
then, by George, he must con-
fess, If he is honest with himself,
that vaudeville has Travelled
backwards instead Of forwards.
Today the average vaudeville
act arrives with all of its baggage
in a suit case. Give it ten min
uteS to rehearse with the or
chestra and everything is jake.
Outside Of light cues. Every once
in a while a unit Of amateurs
arrives which requires no re-
hearsal whatsoever.
The world moves o. but I'm no
80 sure that vaudeville has moved
with it. In fact I'm pretty GER
tain that when Will Mahoney
and I lead the parade for a new
deal in entertainment Freddy
Clark is liable to be somewhere
in the rear making q loud noise
with his drum.
