Baldwin Keeps New
Car Just Three Davs

DICK Baldwin, new romantic
discovery on the goth Century.
Fox lot, went high hat this week
Tor exactly three days.
Having been cast as Simone ,si.
mons leading man in Love and
Kisses" J" Baldwin considered that
his future in the movies was
sufficiently safe to allow him to
indulge in his one dream-to
BUY an expensive car.
After he had bought the auto
mobile, though, he couldn't get
accustomed to riding in it and
his friends thought that he was
trying to high hat them. He
took the new car back to the
dealer three days later, and
arranged to trade it in for q
considerable cheaper make, get
ting an adjustment on the re-
fund.

All Of us-Maureen, Lionel, Jack
Conway and the other handful Of Culver
City-ites who came here for the picture
have had to become acc1imated, for
the weather isn't exactly as advertised
in Los Angeles, but it's certainly in
vigorating.
Especially when you're out on the
river, rowing in an undershirt and
shorts, with a breeze blowing straight
from Greenland, and the thermometer
registering somewhere around or 10
degrees.
But it's all been great sport even
to being tossed in the river for one
scene. Thank heaven they didn't wait
until the cold spell for that. We've
run, rowed, skated, fought until we're
dizzy, but everybody has been such
good sport about the occasional tough
breaks that it's been a Joy to work
here.
When this picture is released,

Meanwhile, New York can expect me
sometime in December. And I hope there
are a few football games left on the
schedule. Save me couple Of seats in
the Rose Bowl, at least, somebody.

interested in the art Of woman
socking during the filming Of
my latest picture for Selznick-
International, Nothing Sacred"
in which I am given the min
gled pleasure Of putting the
Stub on Miss Carcle Lombard.
Incidentally, you will find it
much more exhilarating to mash
a pretty face. The prettier the
face, daresay, the more sat-
isfying the accompanying emo
ton.
TOOK MANY A BLOW
First, in order to discourage
those Of you who are not willing
to work hard, let me give you
some figures from my own ex-
perience. During the filming of
Nothing Sacred I was called
upon, in one scene, to knock Car
ole cold with a stiff right to the
chin. In the first place, three
hours Of rehearsal preceded the
actual shooting Of the scene.
This was necessary because of
the delicate timing problem in
volved in permitting us to say
our lines between socks. :.
By the time the scene was
rehearsed to perfection luncheon
was called, there was an added
half hour rest and revivification
period, and then the fight re-
sumed-df you're not doing it
for the movies, brethren, you
may not need rehearsal, but tim
ing is still important, particu-
larly if you miss and there's a
beer-bottle close by the lady's
hand).
Anyway, our little set-to in
volved the following statistics:
Miss Lombard swung 1853 times
with both hands as against the
1,034 blows that / delivered. For
the long shots, closeupS and re-
verse shots, including special
takes and rehearsals, she was
bounced across a bed 38 times,
took 13 tumbleS into q large
spray of flowers and hit the
floor 20 times. AS for myself,
I took % no-counts to the floor.
All in all it took eight hours,
and finally I got it down pat.
I let go with a right that did
the trick and the battle was
over. And if you think that
our punches were telegraphed
then listen to this: At the end
Of the day both Carole and I
were treated with ice packs for
several hours. And even Bill
Wellman, the director, while not
actually bruised, was so com.
pletely worn out by the punches
he threw during rehearsals,
that he had to be practically
carried home.
A ROUGH HOUSE SCENE
In conclusion I can only say
this: Seeking a lady neatly and
with dispatch and courtesy is
not the cinch that it seems. It
takes practice, plenty Of it.
If you haven't got a model,
the next best thing is to shadow
box in front Of your mirror, or
try it out on a couple Of big
guys beforehand. And wait un-
til you're sure that the lady's
jaw is set.
They're shifty and very quick,
nine times out of 10 you'll miss.
But when you think that you've
got them primed for the punch
forget gender and put every
thing into it.
But if you miss, or they get
up off the floor, don't blame

He Was Tossed Into Thames,

l4-le, Waterloo Place, London, S. W. 1.
November 49,, 1887
Dear Andy Kelley:
It begins to look as though the
Yanks at Oxford would soon wind up their
lob on this side Of the Atlantic and be
ready to push off for Culver City once
more.
I must admit that I've been looking
forward to getting home for Christmas,
but on the other hand, am not particu-
1arly eager to leave England. IF some
system could be worked out by which I
could spend six months Of each year here
and the other six in California, I'd be
delighted.
Also, such an arrangement might
give me a chance to visit the spots I've
always wanted to see in England and on
the Continent, and which I won't have
time to see this trip.

the screen, in CarOle Lombard
which Freddie March and I go
to the mat-literally, I mean.
We slug, belt, kick and maui
each other numerically in a
hotel bedroom until I go down
for the count and even the
cameras vince at the realism Of
the blows. It's the most pain
full sequence I've ever been a
party to in the whole Of my
crazy picture career.
What am kicking about?
Just this: Even though I
weighed in at pounds lighter
than Freddie he was allowed
eighty-six more rights and leftS
to my poor. defenseless torso,
than I.
BOUNCED ALL ROUND
For every blow I struck, he
was permitted two. I was
bounced across the bed 80 times,
but Freddie took only four bad
tumbles during the entire scene.
I hit the floor az times-he
landed there only once. Is jus
tice not only blind, but cock
eyed?
I lay the blame at the feet Of
Ben Hecht, that Chicago misogy-
mist, and Bill Welman, who used
to be my friend. Both of them
thought the scene would be fun
nier that way, the rats. Not
that my resentment is unmixed
with gratitude.
These boys have taught me
something about the art Of self
defense that will come in handy
some dark night. Let this be a
warning TO them!
Fortunately for me by the
time Nothing Sacred" was
ready for shooting, I'd had a
few preliminary lessons with the
gloves. Remember Love Be
fore Breakfast" I came out Of
that one with a shiner-the gift
of Preston FoSter-and to this
day, whenever I meet that man
my left eye twitcheS.
When made MY Man God
frey" they doused me in 10 gal
Ions Of ice water and there was
q tuSSle under a shower that I'll
never forget. Thank heavens
I mend easily.
THEY WERE GENTLEMEN
Up to Nothing Sacred" how.
ever, my worst ordeal was with
Bing Crosby in We're Not
Dressing" In this one I was
running away from Bing in one
scene and the only way he could
grab hold Of me was to make a
flying tackle for my poor legs.
He got me all right, and landed
on the ground with a thud-and
six strained Vertebrae. I'd rather
listen to Bing Groom, any day.
Earlier in my career I've
taken punishment from actors
like. John Barrymore and Pat
O'Brien-the former in "Twen-
tieth Century" and the latter
in something called Virtue"
But these were mild indignities
by comparison with my recent
humiliation, and If I keep on
taking it I'm going to photo
graph a smart shade of purple
in Technicolor. and then won't
my producers be sorry!
Incidentally, although I still
bear Freddie March a grudge-
and will until my bruises heal
I have nothing against Walter
Connolly and Charlie Win
ninger, who worked with me in
Nothing Sacred"
I want to go on record as say
ing both these fine actors are
gentlemen. Neither one laid a
hand Of me.

KLIzABETHToWN. N. Y, October
73.-Counsel for John Montague, dim
pied golfer extraordinary on trial here
on a 7-year- -old robbery charge, sought
State permission today for Crooner
Bing Crosby and other Hollywood
lurninaries to submit dispositions testi-
flying to his character.
State Prosecutor Thomas w. Nc
Donald, having rested his case against
the mysterious phantom Of the links
after only two days testimony, con-
sidered advisability of permitting
reading of the dispositions as the trial
recessed for the week end until Mon
day.
The dispositions, the prosecutor said,
certify to Montague's general repu-
tation for peacefulness and quiet" and
his honesty and truthfulness'
signers of the dispositions, in addi-
ton to Crosby, Mcdonald disclosed,
are Screen Comedian Oliver Hardy,
Motion Picture Producer Trem Carr
and Father Victor J. Fallon, all of
Los Angeles, Calf.
The prosecutor explained that read
ing of the dispositions into the trial
record is entirely up to what we
(the State) think best"

tague. once known to friends in Syra-
cuse. N. Y, as Laverne Moore, was
arrested on charges of participating
in the 1880 hold-up Of Kin Hana's
roadhouse at jay, N. Y, rs miles
north of here. The arrest was made
after New York State Police read OF
the golfing feats that won Montague
the acclaim of film notables and rec
ognized his photographs.
Crosby, in a deposition made public
bv the prosecutor. said that the
circle in which Montague moved &C.
eepted him as an upright man" The
crooner swore he knew Montague 80
eislly' for five years.
Hardy. who claims he accompanied
the defendant on fishing and hunting
trips and played golf with him for
FIVE years, said his honesty and
truthfulness are absolutely above re-
proach."
He has handled sums Of money for
me where 1t would have been possible
to take some II he wanted to do so,
and he has been in my home on
many occasions where expensive jew
elry was kept and he has never eW-
denced any inclination to be dis
