HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 9.-It does
not take the beginning of a New
Year to prompt good resolutions in
Hollywood.
In a business where mistakes are
easily made, screen personalities
are continually swearing Of" do
ing certain things.
So, If there are any actual New
Year Resolutions in Hollywood,
stars are keeping them secret.
They prefer to give a gags answer
with a chuckle.
And here are some of these an
swers by stars who were asked
what their 1887 resolutions would
be:
HARPO MARX-"I'll chase no
more blondes; 1 married a bru-
nette."
WILLIAM POWELL-'To invent
a luminous collar button that can
be found under any bureau in any
kind Of light"
JOAN CRAWFORD-"Never to
say over the radio Hello folks,
wish you were here"
GROUCHO MARX-"To have a
body like Tarzan. But I'll have to
say more than TarZan does or
people will think I am Harpo."
ROBERT TAYLOR-"To collect
no more speed tickets"
STUART ERWIN-"I want to
be the great lover of the screen" :"
TED HEALY-"I'm out to make
the world safe for stooges in 1887.
After that, they are on their own"
WALLACE BEERY-"I'm going
to play Little Lord Fauntleroy or
burst"
FREDDIE BARTHOLOMEW

tache."

CLARK GABLE-"I resolve
that one of my race horses will
beat one of Bing Crosby's some
time this year."
CHICO MARX-"I'm going to

HERMAN BING-"I'm SORRY.

Thief Swipes Joan Crawford:
Slippers at Trocodero

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 9.-The
years boldest snatch of a Holly
wood souvenir was accomplished
the other night at the Trocadero
and afforded much amusement to
the few who realized what was go
ing on. Joan Crawford was the
victim.
Toward the end of an evening
of dancing, the star wanted to
cool her tootsies, so she eased off
her slippers. 1t was perhaps 80
minutes later when she reached
out her toes to find them. They
were gone.
The barr assed actress
searched frantically, but no luck.
An unidentified fan had thefted
the slippers and Joan had to leave
the swank night spot in her stock
ing feet.

that the West characters
put too much of a tax upon
credibility when they insist
that she paralyzes with her
charms such desirable look
ing males as Cary Grant,
Randolph Scott, or Warren
William.
The star has a Rose Sy-
delPs London Bellies type Of

mean. 1t has a burlesque
veneer and if it were trans
planted suddenly to the bet

1t strikes me, too, that any
star who exercises an arbi-
tary power in the matter Of
story selection, choosing Of
casts, determining voice in
direction, bites off more than
can be readily digested. It
worked out that way with
Ann Harding and seems to
have operated to dissipate the
popularity of the Mae West
features. At least since she
has been a Hollywood Poo
bah her pictures have grown
steadily inferior.
Now it may be possible
that the star who forced
Loew's Washington theaters
to open two houses to accom-
modate the midnight throngs

sponsor such prediction.
I have a grave doubt that
the West art is flexible
enough to extricate her
from the routine groove
in which she once flour
ished, and now languishes.
In other words Mae West
can play the ''lady tramps"
with the flip tongue, the
rowdy leers and the hip
waving, and no other type
of character with conviction.
There will be no mourning
here. Mae West has had her
day, from all accounts it was
a very profitable one and,
presumably, she is able to re-
tire gracefully and cut cou-
pons for the rest of her life,
Certainly when she can
take a play like personal
Appearance" with all the
elements of a hit in the stage
version and transform it into
Grade B screen stuff, it is
time to check and double
check. That, I imagine, is
what Hollywood is doing at
the moment.
