the picture kidnapped" at
Twentieth Century-Fox.
The period of this story is
1851 and Freddie is wearing a
costume not unlike the one he
wore in "Lloyds of London"
His hair gives the appearance
of being curled, but the people
on the set say no.
Like Deanna Durbin, Freddie
has to go to school between
scenes. Today, he and his in
structor are working on noun
clauses" Freddie is supposed to
underline mistakes.
But please don't look" he
says, "for I got most Of them

GROWING UP
Freddie is glad to be back at
work and is not at all nervous
because of his long absence from
the camera.
He has grown an inch since
you saw him.
But my height and weight
are exactly average for my age,"
he hastens to add.
Children in the movies are
the only ones in the world who
have to worry about growing
up. The awkward age usually
means a halt if not the end of
their careers.
Out at M-G-M, Maureen O'Sul-
liVan is appearing in the picture
"Madelon," a part originally in
tended for LuiSe Rainer. It cost
her a role in Marie Antoinette,"
but this is a bigger opportunity
and she is glad of the switch.
Maureen explains that she
keeps a fish-stand in the story
and is in love with a sailor,
John Beal. .-.
"He is wanderer and has to
decide between me and the
sea-" she says. "It's a good deal
like the decision Johnny Farrow
had to make about me, only
Johnny decided in my favor and
now he is my husband"
Wallace Beery and Frank
Morgan are in "Madelon," too,
so the picture will have a good
deal in it besides romance.
For the first time in screen
history, Frank Morgan ends up
with the heroine. He marries
her when her sailor runs off to
sea and proves such a kind hus-
band that, when the wanderer
returns, Maureen will not run
away with him.

It took Clark Gable a long
time to get his father to pose
with him for a picture, because
Gable Senior is very averse to
being photographed.

Because of that first and as

father, may realize great wealth.
Twenty years go, the father
and George M. Cross formed a
partnership to buy and develop
oil lands in Oklahoma. They
worked hard and long, but the
land produced nothing. The two
drifted apart and haven't seen
each other since.
Now, to the elder Gable comes
a letter from Cross, who is resid-
ing in Oklahoma City.
"I!!,ave had a young man drill
ing on our oil land, and he re-
ports that he is sure there is oil
there" Cross writes. "It will just
take time. I don't know whether
there is oil or not, but this fel-
low knows his oil land. We are
still partners, but I didn't know
that you were the father of Clark
Gable. If it weren't for the pic
ture Of you two together, I don't
think I would ever have found
you. Eow you know, and I'll be

he intends to leave for Oklahoma
City very soon.

In both cases the policemen were
held without blame.

Corporation Counsel Seal says,
among other things, Neither of
policemen could have been in fear
of their lives, one being behind q
tree and one behind wall, and
neither in the room with Keys, and
even if they may have believed from
the circumstances that the elderly
persons in the room above Keys
apartment were in danger of their
lives, no attempt was made by them
to obtain entrance from the rear or
any other point Of the building. OF
