once again. However, was sure of one thing on Captains Courageous" We were going out to sea on a Gloucester schooner for location work.
 The first day Mickey and I climb- ed aboard the Were Here," we discovered that space had been set aside in the foc'sle for a school room for us, and that we had to study minimum of three hours a day, under state law. That still left us little time for fishing, though, even after we had put in our other four hours work. Aunt CiSsie didn't care much for the boat at first, as she said she was never a good sall- or, but after the first day she be- gan to enjoy 1t.
 We had just started to have a really good time when MT. Fleming decided that there wasn't enough fog on the ocean. We had only been there four days, but we came back to the studio to do some work or a sound stage until the fog should get thicker. But it took an awful long time doing 1t.
 Altogether, the cast worked for five months on Captains Courag- eous." After that we decided that we all needed a vacation. Especial ly Spencer Tracy, who had been working in that icy water for a week. But we finished work on a Saturday afternoon, and on Mon- day morning Spencer reported on the set of They Gave Him Gun
 MT. Fleming took me to his ranch for a few days and then MT. Leigh ton took me to his, and we rode and had barbecues and I learned tc throw rope. But again, we didn't plan any long trips because it was almost time for Grandma and Grandpa to return to England. Tn fact, they got an extension of their leave just to see the preview of Courageous" Then 1t was decided that we should accompany them to New York and see them sail on the Berengaria, the same ship on which Cissie and I had originally come to this country. But other things came

Hollywood.-Every time 1t ap- pears as though I'm going to be able to take nice long trip some where, something happens.
 Now it begins to look as If I'll have to look back on that one long trip Aunt Cissie and I took from England to Hollywood, as the only travelling I can boast of.
 What made me recall that was that when Rudyard Kipling's Kim" was announced as my next picture, everybody connected with 1t started thinking about buying some light weight clothes to wear in India. In fact, I bought Six polo shirts and some white pants myself. It's a good thing I can wear them in Cali fornia, because 1t doesn't look as If we'll 90 to India.
 Other people at M-G-M are planning their vacations. Mickey Rooney told me he was going to Honolulu. Of course, Mickey told me that last year too, and he didn't get there. But this year, maybe he will. And I told him I was going to India. Only I won't.
 Louis D. Lighton, the producer, was in favor of 1t. Victor Fleming, the director, wasn't so wild to go be- cause Mrs. Fleming had just had a new baby. But that happened two months ago, and I think I could have talked MT. Fleming into it, by now.
 Aunt Cissie would have been very glad to go. She was born in India And we could probably have stop. ped off in England, either going ol coming, and picked up Grandpa and Grandma. They had to gc back there last month, because their leave of absence under the immigra. ton laws had expired. But they plar to return to California in the au. tumn. We'll, at least they get e nice round trip out of that.
 Last summer, as soon as finish ed "The Devil Is a Sissy" the whole Bartholomew family, which mean: Aunt Cissie and my grandparents and myself, planned to visit Uncle Fred in Vancouver, Canada. He had bought a horse for me and a Wes- tern saddle and was going to take me hunting and fishing. We had planned to buy a trailer and were going to spend six weeks on the road, just taking our time and see- ing the country, because we hadn't been any farther north than San Francisco on the west coast before.
 Works On Schooner
 Then just when I'd talked Cissie into getting the trailer, I had to go over to Twentieth Century for "Lloyd's of London" to fulfil Q commitment we had there, so the vacation was postponed. But as soon as "Lloyd's" was finished, Captains Courageous" was waiting at M-G-M, so we put off the trip

up, and I had to have my teeth fixed, so once again we stayed home
 All the time we'd been trying to convince ourselves that even if we didn't get any regular vacation this year, the trip to India would be much better than a vacation. But still we haven't gone.
 Optimistic
 There's camera crew there now filming backrounds and collecting props, just as was done in China for the "The Good Earth" But ap- parently the cast will do its work in California, because there's some country up around Mt. Whitney which looks just like the Himalayas Anyway, maybe we'll have severa. weeks location work in the Sierras which will be something.
 If there had been a Durbar ir Delhi this year I'm almost sure wt would have gone to India, but I r,n' derstnad 1t has been postponed cl canceled. So If anybody has any in- fluence about rebooking that Dur bar, it's very much all right witt me. Because I would like to takt another long trip. And I'd much rather wear those polo shirts ir India, where polo originated.

 After havng seen Saratoga" four times, with the express purpose of detecting flaws and fill-ins, these three scenes appear to this writer to be the only ones added.
 Saratoga" has life, action and laughsl No performance Clark Gable has given since his famous 'Blackie in San Francisco" can equal his portrayal of the happy go lucky gambler who takes a long shot on love.
 Lionel Barrymore, as the dotter- ing, childish grandfather, whose chief worry in life is how to operate a breeding farm without a stud, adds another laurel to his crown of cinema successes.
 Metro Goldwyn-Mayer, and direc- tor Jack Conway, are to be con- graduated for the good taste they have displayed in bringing to wait ing public the most talked-about picture in decade.

 Speaking of squabbles, there's a big league battle being waged be- tween Grace Moore and her boss Harry Cohn. Under protest, she sang Minnie the Moocher' in her last picture, and 1t went over big For one of seven songs k1 her next picture, Cohn wants her to sing 'aThe St. Louis Blues" He insists. She refuses. Cohn won't give an inch. Miss Moore won't give a note. In musical circles such a situation is called "discord."

SARATOGA OPENS
 AT LOEW'S POLL
Late Jean Harlow's Last Picture Starts TOmOr-
 row Afternoon

Hollywood magic again asserts It. self in the case of Metro -Goldwyn- Mayors Saratoga" stopped by the untimely death of Jean Harlow when 959o completed, but completed for release by a few delft directorial touches.
 In answer to the question that is, without doubt, in the minds of thou sands of moviegoers, Saratoga" is a complete picture, no scenes have been cut for the sake of continuity and all important sequences had been completed at the time of Miss Harlow's passing.
 Contrary to the general concep- tion of movie-making, movie scenes are not made in any definite se- quence. It is often the case that late scenes in the picture are shot first, early scenes last, etc. In the instance of Saratoga it happened that the final scenes were made when production was about half completed.
 Saratoga" has been completed logically and without any obvious breaks. In big ballroom scene, a long shot, of Miss Harlow's stand in takes her place, yet when she is whisked in Gables arms onto the outside terrace, the real Jean Har- low is seen. The directors clever- ness solved this problem.
 In another scene, Walter Pidgeon is talking on the telephone. Stand
