HOLLYWOOD, June %

HOLLYWOOD, June %.
Ever since Gable returned from
his last hunting excursion, fellow
stars have been a little worried
about what he might bring home
next. The last time it was a baby
mountain lion.
The rah!rah spirit-those IL
year-old Mauch twins, Billy and
Bobby, always in the news, have
a real worry today. They go to
school at Warner Brothers Studio
and that has one real limitation,
they say, to wit:
1--WE haven't any team to
cheer for when the football sea-
son comes around"
Both athletically inclined, they
may later be enrolled in a regular
school SO they may have chance
to participate in games with
other boys.
Perpetuation Of the landmarks
as well as traditions Of the Old
West is one Of the aims Of Buck
Jones, cowboy star. He says in
the future his pictures will con-
tain at least one scene in which
some historic point will be the
center of interest. He is urging
other film portrayers of the great
open spaces to follow his example
You'll quickly gather from
this that Luise Rainer is against
all headgear. Since appearing in
THE Emperor'S CandleSticks" she
has adopted the peasants Scarfs
which she tied about her head
in several Of the sequences.

 Tom was leased by his school mates for three weeks after he took the reading test for his part in rom Sawyer"
 "The boys all knew he had been tested" said Mrs. Kelly, land began to tease him about not passing it. When word came he had won he didn't have much to say. Of course he was excited. He never before had been beyond New York City. All the family got off from work and school and went down to the Grand Central Station to see him leave. His spaghetti-my' how he can eat it and strawberry shortcake.

 He couldn't do it," his mother explains. But we're all mighty proud of Tom.'
 Mrs. Kelly has few rules that she uses in rearing her family. 1 While in school the boys are not allowed to go out of the house after dinner, during the week. Sunday afternoon was the only time she allotted Tom for the movies On that day he went off gaily to see a wild west thriller or something with an adventure element. He liked excitement well enough on the screen, she says. She herself never goes to the movies.

 Twelve-year-old Tommy Kelly without any professional acting ex- perience-haS been chosen from 25,- 900 American school boys to play the part of the most beloved boy in American literature.
 But if he ever dreamed the dreams or performed the exploits of Mark THain's adventurous Tom, his mother never knew, or else she believes 1t better left un- said. Her Tom, Mrs. Michael A. Kelly likes to believe, is model boy. She describes his school rec ord for tardiness and attendance as exemplary.

 Meantime. Mrs. Kelly's interest is centering in the clippings and pictures that come from the film capital. There's a clipping that shows the cheap watch she gave Tom on his 18th birthday, which she liked especially. This picture, along with other treasured clip pings and four dollars, was stolen by an agent who came to sell the other day.

 Active Unit
 The local unit of the Central Verein is regarded as one of the most active in Connecticut. It was organized on June 26p 1895, when a group of prominent German Catholic residents of Waterbury met under the leadership of John c. Siefen and formed a sick and death benefit society. Two years later following an anlalgamation with the Holy Family society, which origin ally sponsored the organization of St. Cecilia's parish, the older name was retained. The late Rev. Dr. Farrel Martin was chosen spiritual director. John G. Siefen became first president, Louis Gritschle, first treasurer, and John J. Siefen, first
