w. c. Fields, the famous comedian, did something for me that very few of his motion picture fans see now adays. He juggled.
 MT. Fields was a famous jiggler in his early days and I had heard a lot about his juggling So, my first question was to ask him how he learned.
 When I was boy" he replied, T was very lazy and did not like to get up in the morning. So I de- cided I would follow a profession that did not call for me to get up early. I picked up the stage; and since l could not go on the stage without an act, took up juggling. 7

 The interview was taking place at his home in Bel-Air, so he called his butler and asked him if he could find any tennis balls. The butler brought in four balls, all there were available.
 MT. Fields said he had not jug gled in a long time and was not sure he could, but he had no trou- ble keeping all four in the air He became so engrossed he went on for IS minutes. I was sorry the butler did not find more balls, as MT Fields said at one time he could keep seven going. But he said it was just as well since he was out of practice and had a sore wrist and could not have handled any more.
 MT. Fields has made two trips around the world. Once he was in Australia when he received an of- fer to appear in the United States. He took the first boat and was home in g. days. He appeared at only

CRAWFORD IS STARRING IN
 CAPITOL HIT
Last of Mrs. Cheyney' Features Montgomery
 and Powell

A brilliant cast headed by Joan Crawford, William Powell and Rob ert Montgomery appears at the Cap itol Theatre in Metro -Goldwyn- Mayors "The Last of Mrs. Chey- ney,g based on the stage play by Frederic Lonsdale.
 An exceptional supporting cast in- cludes Frank Morgan, Jessie Ralph, Negel Bruce, Colleen Clare, Benita Hume, Ralph Forbes, Aileen Prin- gle and Melville Cooper.
 The story, ultra-modern as a stage play, has been advanced to the current minute in dialogue and atmosphere so that it is more than ever smart and sophisticated.
 Miss Crawford portrays the charming American widow in Lon don society with finesse, and Will jam Powell is excellent as the suave butler who is in reality a crook. Robert Montgomery portrays the young English lord who falls in love with the American girl, only to find her under suspicion of jewel theft.
 However, when it is discovered that the gay lady from this side of the Atlantic has bravely destroyed love letter which might have ere ated untold trouble, and further more that her butler is the thief, all is well Obviously, as she be- comes Lady Dilling in response to the young lords plea, it is happily "The Last of Mrs Cheyney"
