BY HILDEGARDE

This year, more than ever before the night spots of London, Paris Cannes and even Vienna, have ac- quired a distinct American flavor With the Coronation as an added impetus, American performers have flocked to London, found the going excellent and remained to develop a following that is invaluable.
 Harry Richman (the current reigning favorite of the smarter European night clubs), Helen Morgan, Rudy Vallee, the De Marcos, Molly Picon, Libby Hol- man, Leo Reisman and Aileen Stanley are among those artists who have played before large and appreciative British and French audiences.
 American entertainers quickly find the upper strata of British society to be extremely conser- vative when 1t comes to frequent ing cabarets. There are only two after-dark cafes in Mayfair, the Ritz and the Savoy, in which you are liable to find the more select members of the upper-set with any degree of regularity. It Is a tribute to Harry Richman's tal- ,ents that he managed to lure a large number of London'S regal night -clubbers to the Cafe dc Paris during his recent engage ment there.
 Occasionally, the continued pres- ence of member of the royal fam lily will suddenly pack new cafe with patrician patronage. This hap pened recently when the Duke of Kent showed a decided preference for the Trianon-a comparative new conner among London's half-a-hun- dred night clubs.
 Peerage's Pet Tunes '.
 If performer Is fortunate enough to get an audience before the elite of Europe, 1t doesn't take him or her long to recognize that the biggest of them often have the narrowest tastes. King or Queen. Earl or Duke they all have their pet tunes. And heaven help the singer or dance maestro who fails to deliver!
 For instance, the youngest old man in Europe, King Gustave of Sweden, will sit in rapt attention for hours listening to we'll known German beer-hall ditty The German Band" I have seen him request 1t at least six times during the course of an evening
 The Duke of Windsor won't set foot on the dance floor unless 6 Viennese waltz Is forthcoming This preference for waltSes. how ever, only began two years ago They are the favorite dance tunes of his wife.
 King Goes for
 "Mother Machree"
 Before he became Great Br- tains ruler, King George occa- sionaliy visited night clubs in London and Paris. Curiously enough his favorite was the No. l Irish ballad of every bar and sa- loon in the world-"Mother Ma chree". I understand he still fa- vors 1t, having a large number Of tenor recordings of 1t in Bucking- ham Palace today.
 The Duke of Kent Is somewhat like his brother, inasmuch as his tastes run primarily to ballads also. But the Kings handsome frere prefers the lyrics more on the sophisticated side. A cole Porter, Gershwin or Jerome Kern ballad will invariably warrant his auplause, '

 Directors go around bragging, Tn this color picture I've got less color than any color production ever had before"
 A word they like when talking about color is restraint" Gar den of Allah" was restrained, automatically. "A Star Is Born" is still more restrained. "Walter Wanger's Vogues of 1938," accord ing to Director Irving Cummings, will be so restrained that you'll scarcely beware of the color at all.
 Restraint is something new to Hollywood. It's like hiring Garbo, Gable, Taylor, and Temple for a picture and using them only in the background of a mob scene. Park Ave. "Umph."
 Visitors to the "Vogues" sets find part of the scenery exciting, though. I mean the models. There are 12 of these, all imported from the studios of Manhattan's commercial photog- raphers and the salons of the uppity couturierS.
 There's no arguing but that they have a Park avenue.ish air about them, and any one of them could give the Hollywood stars lessons on how to wear clothes.

STATE

Records crowds over the weekend witnessed "A Star Is Born," at Warner Brothers State theater and acclaimed it a miracle of the talk ing screen. a film that will re- sound to the eternal credit of Hollywood.
 Janet Gaynor's return to some of the screen success she enjoyed during the Gaynor-Farrell days is the big item of the film, but re- lentess honesty and excellent judgement have gone into making "A Star Is Born" It is truly a great photoplay and will go down in the 1887 year book as one of the years finset contributions.
 The telephone scene where March-he does 8 most convincing job despite the uncomfortable part takes magnum of champagne to bed, wraps it carefully, tele- phones his producer in the early morning hours, then searches through the directory for Miss Gaynor's number, is one of the best scenes ever put in celluloid. Like the court scene in MT. Deeds, /" and the hitch-hiking affair in "1t Happened" it proves again Holly woods flair for the light sort of stuff that goes so well.
 Miss Gaynor is Esther Veronica Blodgett. She or rather her grum- py grandmother scrapes together the necessary coin of the realm for Janet's junket to Hollywood to the magic carpet that her and thousands of others think is wait ing to whist them to 8 whirlwind success.
 She is told that the chances are one in a hundred thousand that she will make the grade but like the millions that play the Irish sweepstakes, she's willing to play the long shot on the nose.
 She runs into MT. March who is currently trying to scotch-and-soda himselfl right out of stardom. Her maidenish shyness attracts the dipsomanic success and his in fluence gets her 8 screen test. While consuming a raw egg-with a ladleful of worcestershire sauce, Frederic realizes that Esther is just the type for the lead in his latest film.
