Ever since John Barrymore
landed in Hollywood he has al
ways managed to be good news
paper copy. Shortly after his ar.
rival at the ritzy Ambassador Hotel
they spread a story that he called
up the houSekeeper and asked to
have her send over maid to
dust the bathtub, because he
wanted to take bath.

said;
ITS a great story, but the
truth is l was taking a cold
shower every morning and q
warm one at bedtime when

nected with this low-broW cellu-

However, offer or not, the alb

What Variety Said
Here's what Variety'S reporter
had to say about it:
Evidently produced hurriedly
to capitalize on the newspaper
publicity attendant upon the
marital difficulties of Elaine
Barrie Barrymore and John Bar
rymOre and bOlstered with hurley
tricks, How to Undress' gets
plenty of audience laughs. But
they are all at the picture and
not with it.
Miss Barrie is exploited by
the commentator as an expert
in the art of undressing. Just
why isn't particularly clear after
the audience has caught a
glimpse or two of her slightly
overweight torso and her none
tOO-thin thighs.
In contrast to Miss Barrie'S
efforts are those of Trixie Fri
ganZa, who exploits her SO0-Odd
pounds before the camera in a
manner more sad than cOmical.
THE dialogue is plenty hot,
as the saying goes, and none too
fIattering to Miss Barrie if she
treasures her social standing,
since most of the comment is Of
a rather personal nature. How
to UndresS,' aside from the COM
ment, is more suggestive than
revealing. 1t surprises rather
than entertains the audience and
will find it's best usages in the
five and dime grinds where a
patron seeks a place to flop in
