Hollywood purchase is the Sensa-

John Carroll, for which he

In the hair department, Lupe

and also quite red.
Paramount have signed up a
young Swedish gentleman, who is
destined to fall heir to the Gary
Cooper roles when Cooper moves
over to Goldwyn. His name is
Gustav Wallenberg, Of the famous
Swedish banking family, only at
the moment he is to be known
as Gustav Wally, unless they de-
eide on a further name change.
He is tall as Cooper, better ply
siqued and better looking, and
should be a sensation. He has
been on the stage in London,
Paris, Berlin, Vienna and New
York, besides the Scandinavian
capitals, and is an expert ball
room dancer to- boot, so possibly

Far be 1t from us to criticize the
