chine, and Miss Kaye opens her mouth to sing.
 "Cut!" yells the sound man. "Save 1t, Martha!" says the di- rector.
 Martha saves it. An airplane is circling over the studio and even through the insulated building, the sound reaches the recording ma chine. The plane circles for 10 minutes, while everyone waits im- patiently.
 Miss Rave decides she needs the attention of the makeup man. "Daddy!" she shouts, Come and fix mama up."
 The makeup man happens to be Buddy Westmore, to whom Miss Kaye recently was married. As he crosses the bridge to where his bride waits, everybody whistles Lohengrin.
 And when he attempts to touch up the comedienne's rouge and eye broWS, she makes violent-and I mean violent-love to him. Direc- tor Ted Reed says, Martha, if you ever learn to do that in front of the camera you'll be greater than Gar bo."

HollyWood-An obscure character actor was haled into court to testi- fly in plagiarism suit. It seems that he once had appeared in a play from which a movie subse- quently was alleged to have been stolen
 Anyway, the defense attorney, for .sonoe motive of his own, suddenly asked: Who's the greatest actor in the world?"
 T arn," admitted the witness.
 Don't you think that's a pretty sweeping statement?"
 T can't help it." said the actor. "I'm under oath"
 Hugh Herbert is well again af- ter three weeks in a hospital. Dur ing his illness he was pleased and touched to receive tremendous bunch of flowers from his studio.
 Douglas Montgomery went to a movie the other evening (screen stars do attend pictures sometimes) and sat behind big man who kept fidgeting and rubbing the top of his head.
 The actor finally tapped the fellow on a shoulder and asked if he'd please sit still. The man turned around and stared at him, asked, "Say. ain't you Douglas Montgomery"
 Montgomery admitted it. "Well then, keep quiet" said the big man. "I'm one of the fans that pay your salary"
 Movie- in the Making
 They're shooting a musical num- Der for Bing Crosby's new picture, Double or Nothing" and the set represents a night club on a lagoon in Central Park.
 Arched bridges connect the stage with the part of the establishment where the audience sits, and gon- dolas float along in the murky wa ter between.
 Prop men wear bathing suits and provide the motive power for the gondolas; they duck down on the far sides of the boats and tow them across the set.
 Crosby doesn't sing in this se- quence. The number belongs to Martha Kaye and a flock of cho- rines clad in navy coats which hit 'em just below the hips. The mu- sic is started on the playback ma

Chicago-Braddock and Louis are scheduled to fight here, June p, which practically puts them in the first round with no more ballhoo than an undertakers' convention.
 Selling a rather mediocre produc- ton on such short notice would test Rickard. There would be post ponement were the master promoter alive today, for old Tedge would have wanted at least six months for what Mike Jacobs is attempting to do in one.
 But if Rickard were around and had to peddle the performance so quickly, there would now be plenty of action in the steamup depart ment, and one angle would follow another, like base hits of Ducky Medwick's bat.
 Rickard first would make the most of the racial stories expected to ac- company 8 mixed match of such prominence. There would be at least two out of Washington, one to the effect that the administra- tion was against. and another that it wasn't interested one way or the other. The cockeyed world would know how daring it was to stage such battle at Comiskey Park, on Chicago's south side.
 Referee SQuabbles Always Good
 Old Tedge wouldn't let the H. linois commission get away with appointing any old referee, not in the public prints at least. He'd re- call its incompetency in connection with the Battle of the Long Count between Tunney and Dempsey. He'd hold out for George Blake, which would be great copy in Los Angeles and attract the attention of the moving picture colony. There finally would be a clamor for Rickard, the man who refereed the last heavy weight titular engagement featuring Negro.
 Rickard would charge that Sam my Woolf or some other speculator had most of the choicest ducatS, and that he was helpless to do any, thing about it on account of the best ones being dirt cheap at $27.50
 Old Tedge would drop into each camp at least three times with 8s editors and collection of his 600 millionaires.
