Crashing Hollywood Ends Tonight at Capitol
 Theatre

Starring the fire cracker star Lee Tracy as a motion picture scenarist, RKO Radios riotous action-comedy Crashing Hollywood' brings to the Capitol screen for the last times to- night an exciting and ingenious story of Hollywood's invasion by gangland.
 A fictitious major studio provides the setting for most of the pictures swift action, which deals with a screen writer's troubles in making too realistic picture. Tracy, as the writer, collaborates with another man in recreating a famous bank hold-up on the screen.
 Tracy isn't aware that his colla- borator is an eX-convict who parti- cipated in that particular robbery, and when the picture is released troubles pour in thick and fast as a result of the realistic touches the ex-convict put into the story. These troubles are interwoven with the TO- nance between Tracy and Joan Woodbury as an unsuccessful can- didate for a film career.
 Paul Guilfoyle, as the former con- vict. and Lee Patrick as his wife, head the supporting cast. Bradley Page in a dual role as an actor and bank -robber, Richard Lane as film producer, Tom Kennedy as a gun-man, and Frank M. Thomas, George Irving, Jack Carson, Leona Roberts and Maxine Jennings all have prominent roles.
 The background of Crashing Hollywood' and its cleverly con- trived story make for unique type of screen fare Its unexpected situ- ations and a thrilling chase are calculated to afford real excitement to theatre-goers. Lew Landers di- rected the production by Cliff Reid, with Paul Yawitz and Gladys At water writing the screen play from the original play by Paul Dickey and Mann Page.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2-The vail ing moan of a clarinet insinuates itself into the shrill, mixed confu- sion of Manhattan after dark.

 You see Ted Lewis one day, and he goes out of town, and maybe six months later yoa run into him in Omaha, or Pierre, or Macon big towns and little town-and always he packs them in.

 But Ted Lewis goes on dragging down his $5000 week. Hoy does he do 1t? He can't sing a lick, and yet who can sell 8 song better than Ted Lewis? Al Siegel calls this "synchronizing person. ality to song Al Siegel says any body can sell a song, whether you can sing or not, if you adapt the song to your own F ersonality. You must. listen to Siegei when he makes statements like this be- cause he has had too much success to discount him. He found Ethel Norman at party one night, singing.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. 22.-- If you are movie-struck parent and want to get your own bright little tottie into the flickers, you ought to come to Hollywood first alone-and take a look around.
 You ought to be on hand around a casting office some day when there's a call for children, and see for yourself the swarms of movie mammas and their offspring you and your prodigy will have to buck and fight for even a look at the role of the 18th orphan in the orphanage scene.
 You ought to see for yourself how the mammas, as they wait glare sweetly at each other and primp their pretty pets-and how phoney so many of the kids them selves, who ought to be making backyard sand-castles or taking their maps, look with their trans parently rehearsed "cutenesses, their frequently artificial curls, ano their alleged talents for dancing land singing or recithag pieces.
 And then, if you still think Hol- lywood's a good idea for your chile and insist on bringing it out, look before you leap into any of the numerous child talent schools ir town. They are so easily inves- tigated that there's little excuse for anyone's being taken in.

Learn to Eat
| And Grow
Slender
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

For men and women who have
both paunch and palate Mrs. John
r. Williams is the blessed damozel
In few easy cooking lessons, put
between handsome blue covers and
entitled Cook and Grow Thin"
Washington's eternal grande dame
has made public property the secrets
of the happy gustatory life: eat well
and keep, or reclaim, that figure.
The book, says the author, sis not
cook book or a medical CD book
and 1t will cure nothing but good
old plain fat"
The book, which rests its case
heavily on the short calory count,
early brings a flush Of Joy to the
bulging delighter in good food with
a guarantee-the very word-that
a month will see or 10 pounds
gone if only one will follow the
general menu scheme evolved by Ma
Williams, with the help of Mrs.
Harry Kerr. One of the happiest
thoughts of the author resulted in
listing the proper thinning flavor
ing ingredients and then disclosing
where the rarest of them may be
obtained-such as Listers Spread,
the nearest non-butter approach
to butter, with the claim to fame
that comes from its having no cal
ories whatever.
The author has shown q tender
regard for the reader by a double
arrangement of recipes-in the first
part Of the book by dishes (soups,
fish, meats, vegetables, salads, des-
serts, fruits) and in the second part
by menus for the traditional meals,
breakfast, lunch and dinner and the
specialized meals, the summer lunch,
the summer dinner, the beefsteak
dinner. And when all has been
said, Mrs. Williams cautions sternly:
Don't think that by purchasing
a new corset and a stovepipe hat
you will look thin and gaunt."
The substitute for the corset is
dieting the Williams way, which
permits the customary bane of all
stout persons lives, the fried dish.
The book was written not alone to
reduce the Washington equator, but
to swell the treasure chest of the
Thrift Shop, of which Mrs. Williams
long has been chairman. The work
is delightfully."- illustrated by Miss
Ann Knight and Mrs. Rochon Hoo
yer, and if the recipes don't win
you, the verses by Mrs. Estelle Nc
Cannon undoubtedly will.
