 Hollywood-It's nice to see the First Lady of Hollywood, Norma Shearer, in front of the camera again, and in a production which seems to represent the meticulous preparation and all-round dramatic integrity which characterized the work of her late, great husband, Irving Thalberg.
 Of course Thalberg began prep aration for Marie Antoinette," and it may be that she is undertaking it now partly as gesture of full fillment There were many who be- lieved Miss Shearer never would act again and certainly there was no economic persuasion for this wealth. fest of screen queens. My guess is that she is acting because she likes to act, and that will continue to act in other productions.
 The attitude of the studio to- ward Shearer picture is a little difficult for an observer to fathom. I suspect that she is neither pleased nor flatered by the Ob- sequiouS, tip-toeing humility dis played by almost everybody ex- cept the players and crew who actually work with her.
 For several weeks she was placed in the same sort of isolation, with out even any still pictures, that ordinarily surrounds temperament tai banshee of the cinema. Of course she is nothing of the sort, but the guarded treatment has given rise to all sorts of false rumors. Most of the Metro sets have been closed lately,

TANK AT OXFORD'
 AT LOEW'S POLL
Robert Taylor Heads Cast Supported By COlOrful
 British Players

Tomorrow LoeW'S Poli presents the , popular Robert Taylor in the peak role of a spectacular career of star dom! At home and abroad Bob is tops, which is proved by his role in "A Yank at Oxford"
 Bob is supported by a group of film personalities who have achiev- ed fame both here and abroad, in- cluding Lionel Barrymore, Maureen OSullivan, and such stellar British players as Vivien Leigh, Edmund Gwenn and Griffith Jones. The story depicts the unusual experiences of an American college boy placed in the unfamiliar environment of an English university.
 Based on an original story by Leon Gordon, Sidney Giliat and Michael Hogan and on an idea of John Monk Saunders and directed by Jack Con- way who gave the screen such hits as "A Tale of Two Cities and "Libelled Lady," the new Taylor pie ture has the distinction of being photographed in England against the authentic Oxford background.
 The story begins with Taylor's departure for England, having re- ceiyed scholarship for Oxford. His arrival there, his difficulties in ad- justing himself to the customs and traditions of university far dif- ferent from the college he has left behind, his feud with a rival under graduate and his subequent romance with this rivals sister, make for a narrative which holds excitement, humor novelty and a sympathetic unfolding of characterizations.
 The picture is given added excite ment in its depictation of such thrilling athletic episodes as an in- tercollegiate relay race, the quaint English 'bumpbin" races and the colorful Oxford-C Cambridge crew race in which Taylor's prowess as the Oxford stroke aids in winning him the sympathy of his fellow stu dents.
 That Oxford graduates all over the world might have no criticism of the reproduction of their university's customs and traditions in "A Yank at Oxford" and to insure authen- ticity in the films presentation of all phases of life at Oxford, unusual pains were taken in preparation for the picture, which was partly filmed at the actual locale. Several of the British technicians on the film were former Oxford students, and other graduates were employees as tech- nical experts on architecture, attire of the undergraduates, procedure in the Great Hall, and the like. One of the largest sets ever construct ed at the Denham studies repro duced a complete Oxford college squad.
 This is truly the Taylor hit that tops 'em all! Leave it to this up- and-at- 'em Yankee to triumph over trouble. rise from zero to hero. and win lovely lady's heart! This is Bob Taylor's finest picture. a rugged, virile screen TO- nance that packs love, laughter and thrill into a grand entertainment!
 Included in the program is a sec ond big hit entitled, Paid To Dance, drama which discloses at last the savage taxi gal racket! It features Don Terry and Jacqueline Wells in the leading roles.

1 and to Hollywood a closed set sug- gests trouble in the company Gossipers jumped to the conclu- sion that she wasn't getting along with Director w. s. Van Dyke.
 Main reason the set was
 closed was because they were
 shooting the love scenes first in
 order to release Tyrone Power

 home studio. Also, some of the most tragic scenes were filmed
 at the beginning, so Miss Shear

 to think about
 Dynamic Boss Takes Over
 Hollywood was flabbergasted when Van Dyke was announced as the di- rector of Marie Antoinette." Re- search for the picture has been go- ing on for years, and the director originally selected, Sidney Franklin, was steeped in the lore and atmos- phere of the period. Franklin is a slow and careful pilot accustomed to the deliberate tempo which usu- ] ally characterizes a Shearer pro- duction. He doesn't mind doing a scene 20 or 30 times.
 Imagine the surprise, then, when Franklin fell ill almost on the eve of the beginning of shooting, and Van Dyke was announced for the job. There's no monkey business about Van Dyke; he's the fastest topnotch director in Hollywood and okays many a first shot, He's dra- matic by virtue of his more natter of-factness; says picture making is just a chore and that all he cares about is that weekly pay check. He's the absolute boss on his sets, and never has been known to compromise with the whims of a star. Hollywood predicted fire works when he directed Greta Garbo - and nothing happened. He says that when he worked with Joan Crawford, and recently with Jeanette Macdonald, the film col ony was making bets on whether bloW-up would occur on the second, third, or fourth days. But liG 1ldu no trOuDle at all.
 Going Like Clockwork
 Asked to take over Marie An- toinette," he had exactly 24 hours to read the script and figure how he wanted to shoot it. Sid- ney Franklin's production sched- ule had been set at 127 days. Van Dyke was told that he should be able to turn out the feature in 65 l days.
 He accepted on the condition
 that Miss Shearer would place
 herself unreservedly in his hands.
 She did. The scenes have been
 going off like clockwork, and in
 from one to five takes. Van Dyke
 usually gets it on the second try.
 He has confided that the way
 to handle important stars is
 never to ask their opinion of
 scenes - because, if you do,
 they'll always figure they can
 do it better next time."
 When word got around Holly wood that noted French direc- tor, Julien Duviyier, had been as- signed to work with Van Dyke on the picture, gossipers grinned and said, "Ah-ha, I told you sop Fact is, though, that Duvivier will handle only second unit of the production, directing a few mob scenes in which Miss Shearer will not appear.

night and transferred to a modest, little hotel on the other side of Manhattan's railroad tracks. It was no place for interviewers to be interviewing Hollywood star. But it had the required athletic accommodations.
 Tommys voluble protests about the demands that are made upon him reached deaf ears until now. But they are being needed under threat of unmitigated rebellion For one thing, Tommy is tired of signing autographs. For another. he is weary of being led about to kid entertainments where he is made to bore himself with mari onette shows and the like. And he vehemently threatens to sock the next little girl who approach es and trills, Tommy loves Shir- ley Temple"
 And that, partly, is the saga of the homecoming of a newborn juvenile star on the Hollywood horizon. The Grand Concourse. says Master Kelly, is the place for kid and fun.
 Unblushing Rose
 Now that Billy Rose has the Casa Manana in working or der, he is plotting his next gar- gantuan spectacle. TeAtatively, he calls 1t the Broadway Museum and in Billy's modest parlance, it is going to be the biggest, most beautiful. spectacular and costli- est" show the Rialto ever re- ceived.
 His project, explains the Mighty Midget, will require ten stories of floor space in a central Broadway building, in addition to conmo- diouS theater downstairs. What Billy aims to exhibit is a mass of memorabilia about the Gay White Way; it's eminent demi- mordaines, it's lurid murders, TO- mances, larcenies, etc. He would display them pictorially and in wax works and he would supple ment the museum attractions with many honky- -tonks, hot dog stands and sideshows. And on the lowest level, he would like to resurrect a vaudeville show such as Tony Pastors put on in the heyday of Weber & Fields.

Boy Movie Star Says "Nertz" to Acclaim
By George Ross
N # #

New York, Feb. 18.-They took the Bronx lad, 12-year-old, freckle- faced Tommy Kelly off Grand Con- course, carted him to Hollywood cast him as Tom Sawyer in the new talkie and brought him back.
 And Tommy Kelly is miserable.
 He hates the glitter, the glamor and the idolatry that go with be- ing a Hollywood star. He hardly saw his old pals of the Oriole A. C., in the Bronx this trip. And his mother, Mrs. Norah Kelly, who really is a kind-hearted soul, won't even let him take his air rifle to bed with him any more. She says it isn't dignif1ed. Tommy says, "Aw, Nertz."
 Tommy Squawked
 When Tommy was brought back from Sunset Boulevard and put down on the familiar streets of Ne- York, he thought with boy ish optimism, that his troubles were over. No adult movie queens to pat him on the head. No movie moguls' wives to coo Cutie Pie at him. No publicity geniuseS to take him in charge. The Grand Concourse loomed ahead, and so did the marble ring around the cogner.
 Instead, the boy from the Bronx was doomed to adulation. When he stepped off the 20th Century at the terminal. a delegation of classmates from St. Raymond's Parochial school were there to Serenade him. Instead of heading northward toward the Bronx, Tommy's cab turned toward a fashionable hotel, popular with screen notables, in the FiftieS. They had an Eton suit prepared

Wedding
. Problems
Solved
Only Attendant Is
Often Sister of
Bridegroom.
Rx EMILY POST.


nEAR MRS. POST: Does it matter.
or does it seem that I am too
prejudiced in favor of the groom 4
family. because my only attendant
is to be his sister. his best man his
brother. the clergyman his uncle and
the two ushers his cousins? It so
happens that they are the ones We
want most.
Answer: To begin your married
life already caring so much for your
future relatives-in-law seems to me to
bespeak a great deal of happiness
for you both. Only the fact that
none Of your relations are taking
part at the same time makes the
situation in any way unusual In
other words. it is quite usual that a
bride have her future sister in la W
as one of her attendants. It is Ger.
tainly usual that the bridegroom have
his brother for best man. and when
an uncle is q clergyman 1t Is also
natural that he be the officiating min
istcf. The bridegroom always has
his nearest relatives or friends for
his ushers. In your case. your own
father is probably going to give you
away and that brings your family
into the picture And if you, for
example, are an only child and have
no sister to include and no brother
to be one of the ushers, this is full
explanation of why they are not in
your bridal party. If. on the other
hand, you have brothers and sisters
who are of suitable ages to take
part. then I think you are showing
q good deal of favor to your future
husbands family at the expense Of
your own.
nEAR MRS. POST: A social prob
lem is becoming more imminent
every day and something will have
to be done very soon. The BRIDE
om-to-be's family has never made
any effort to call on my family. And
yet believe they would like to meet
my people and l know I would like
this to take place before the wedding.
1t would be much less awkward at
tAe "cuuiilS, NOitt yUu 'tflitlk! Mhy
VIC take the initiative?
Answer: Comparatively few people
know that it is actually the duty Of
the bridegroonl's family to call on
the family of the bride. Therefore,
especially since you feel that they
may be waiting for your family, 4
think your mother could quite prop
eriy make this overture. She simply
writes to the bridegroom's mother
and invites. them to whatever is most
convenient for your family. As
matter Of fact, before the invitations
are sent out it is always customary
that the brides mother ask the BRIDE
grooin's mother to consult with her
about them. Moreover. If the we'd
ding is to be q medium-siz one,
discussion of how many names are
to be included In the list of each
family is really necessary. Should
it be difficult for the bridegroom's
family to come to see your family,
that is, If they live at a distance
and have no car, then your mother
could call the bridegroom's mother
on the telephone and ask her if she
may come to see her, and name
tinns.
