Pat OBrien plays Officer James

he knows Is what he reads in his

AIS Luck All Bad
OF all the movie people who own
horses, Director David Butler prob
ably is the only one ahead. His
Manners Man has brought in about
$4,000.
AL Jolson has been going to the
cleaners lately.
! Comedian Bert Wheeler had a
phenomenal run of luck for eight
successive days and won fortune.
A studio secretary heard Director
AL Green giving friend tip. She
thought it was a sure thing, so
hooked her diamond ring and her
car and plunged. She deserved to
lose, but didn't.
Her contract calls for two pic
lures a year with Paramount at
$l5O,OOO each, and one production
away from that studio. Considering
their off stage romance there'd be
no measuring the publicity value Of
such a teaming.
Johnny Weissmuller Is doing all
right, too, but he's still swinging
from vines and strutting around in
leopard skins.
Real Introduction
Joel McCrea remembers 1.-THE
time that Clark Gable and Miriam
Hopkins first met. 1t was a screen
test for an assignment of roles; he
isn't sure just which picture.
Anyway, they were introduce
ed and went into q clinch. They
clinched all over the set, until
even the cameraman began to
run a fever.
When the test was finished,
Gable Strengthened his tie and
said, 1T was nice to have met
you, Miss Hopkins"
She said, THANK you; it was a
pleasure to work with you, Mr..

Hollywood-The favorite role in
Hollywood these days Is being a
spectator at Santa Anita race track.
Every day, rain or shine, finds hun
dreds of filmites trampling one an
other between the clubhouse ter
race and the betting windows be-
low.
Most of the really Zig shots own
boxes, but never sit in them. Boxes
are used only for parking ones
binoculars, fur robes, and INDECENT
visiting aunts. It's much more fun
to circulate in the crowd and hold
whispered conferences with tcuts
and other horsey gentry.
Nobody ever starts for the bet
ting windows without having his
mind changed three or four times
en- route. Every tip is sure thing.
hot from the jockey quarters. And,
after every race. there is always
someone to say smugly: "See, I told
you sol"
Many followers of the gee-gees
grow melancholy and like to mag
Nifty their losses and bask in the
commiseration of their fellow suck
ers. But in Hollywood it's the fash
ion always to win.
When one of your nags loses and
you're wondering whether you'll
have enough to tip the clubhouse
steward, you are supposed to ex-
claim: swell, that's too bad. But
I'm still four or five hundred bucks
to the good"
One Way to Win
One veteran studio executive, who
incidentally is rich, almost invari-
ably holds a ticket on the winning
horse. For a couple of seasons he
was the envy and despair of all
race followers because the finish
of every event found him cluthing
a $40 pasteboard and cheering the
winner.
But there has to be a reason for
such success, and the tip-of in this
case came with the discovery that
the man bets on almost every en-
try in every race. Thus he gets the
thrill of being able to cash tick
ct. even though he has wagered
more than he can win.
AS the ponies continue to go
round and around, and the track
reports its best business In its
three-year history, countless sto-
ries of good luck and bad flow
through the turnstiles.
Prize hard luck story SO far, of
course, was Bing Crosby,s failure to
place a healthy bet on his own
horse, Fight On, which paid $50 for
81 on its first trip around the track.
Oliver Cashes In
AS the nags went to the post,
Crosby explained to friends that
Fight On was merely qualifying
that day and didn't have a chance
for victory. But Fight On hadn't
been told that he was only quail
flying, and he romped home, to the
great CONSERVATION Of the crooner.
Oliver Hardy hadn't heard Mr..
Crosby's cautioning remarks. either,
and had been brash enough to
place q few dollars on the velvety
nose Of the novice, just for senti-
ment's sake. Mr.. Hardy's divi-
dends were something like $500,
which is a nice sum even tor a
well-paid movie actor.
