Margo had completely forgotten
about the incident until a letter
arrived while she was working at

from her childhood playmate, and
he wrote that he was coming to

that he would like to renew their

This is okay with Margo, only

quets of American beauties from

Barbara with the college Holi-

One of the more famous actors
is insured heavily by the studio
every time he takes a role in a
picture. For, in case he didn't
finish, the company might be out
thousands.
The practice is more common
than is generally known in Holly
wood. During the last days of the
late Willard Mack, $4,000 policy
was taken out on each of his acting
appearances. For the last film,
only one company could be found
which would take the risk. They
predicted that Mack's heart was so
bad he wouldn't live for six weeks.
But they'd gamble on two for a
premium of $1,000 a week. This
was paid and the film was finished
without mishap.
But Mack died eight weeks after
the prediction.

The story is told Of Nat Pendle-
ton and his pals insist it's true
that the comedian was stopped at
the border south Of San Diego and
was kept mysteriously waiting for
over an hour. The reason, if true, is
too funny. That an officer had seen
Nat in gangster role but, through
an error of memory, associated his
face with the rogue's gallery pic
lures sent out periodically from
Washington. The hour was spent
checking the files, to confirm his
suspicious.

Horton credits one with having
saved his life on his recent Euro

in makeup for Paramount's Zone

q sudden feeling Of danger when
he and his brother, w. D. Horton,
were motoring over the dangerous
Pillon Pass between Geneva and
Lake Lucerne. The sensation was
so strong that he told their
chauffeur to stop the car.
A moment later, declares the
actor, a motorcyclist whirled
around a curve on the wrong side
Of the road and crashed head on
