Ever since court forced Mae West
to break down and admit that she
really was married twenty-six
years ago to one Frank Wallace,
she has been in scclusion. Couldn't
stand having people stare ut her
intently looking for wrinkles, while
they counted on their fingers--eight-
cen and twcnty-six make f0rty-four.
In those odd moments when they
are not discussing Mae Vests age,
Hollywoodians are raving over the
beautiful newcomer, Zorina, who
is under contract to Sam Goldwyn.
She is an enchanting young woman
about nineteen years old. Born IN
Norway, not far from the Arctic
Circle, she went to school in Berlin,
joined the Monte Carlo Ballet Russo
company when she was visiting in
Mexico City, and because of her
two years association with this
troupe now has slight Russian
accent.
Rudy Vallee spends many of his
evenings nowadays at night club
in New York where his friend Jackie
Osterman is making a comeback
after a long stretch of hard luck.
Vallee Is a great story teller, and
one of his favorites concerns Jack
Benny. Vallee intellectually adj
mires the drastic way in which Jack
Benny treated a hostile vaudeville
audience years ago. Benny came
out on one side of the stage merrily
saying Hello folks" only to face a
bunch of tough-looking ruffians who
glowered at him. Continuing right
on across the stage, he exited from
the stage saying "Good-by folks"
and walked right on out OF the
theater never to return.
Martha Rayc made the hit OF her
life and smashed all box-office rec
ords making personal appearances
at the Paramount theatcr in New
York recently. The audience simply
could not get enough Of her. They
surgcd down to the footlights whcr
her act was over, shot questions al
her, begged her to sing one more
song, and then just stood and yelled
when her voice threatened to give
out.

corsairs that the Americans were
more than their match in the bru-

historian Stanley Lane Poolel,

have suffered their trade to be
harassed, their lives menaced and
their honor stained by a series of
insolent savageS seems absol-
utely incredible and yet is literally
true . These dark days of abase-
ment were pierced by one ray of
sunlight: the United States refused
the tribute demanded by the Bar
