So far Bette Davis has resisted
all attempts to arouse her financial
interest in dog hospitals, kennels or
commercial matters concerning the
pets she likes so much. She is a
paying patron" of the "Tailwag-
gers Association, but is not in busi-
ness for profit.
Claude Rains, the ne'er-do- o-well
OF Daughters Courageous does
very well in real life with his Penn
sylvania farm paying him modest
dividends on his investment. Like
Cagney, Rains longs to be a real
dirt farmer who rides tractors and
cultivators, but he finds little time
to follow these inclinations. Picture
work keeps him off the farm for all
but a few weeks each year.
May Robson finds less and less
time to devote to her ventures in
real estate. She builds small houses
which she sells at an equally small
but certain profit. Lately. however
she has been very busy playing the
many roles assigned to her in pic
lures.
Make Rosenbloom is finding it
more and more difficult to keep hot
all the irons he has in the fire at the
same time. Night club proprietor
and entertainer, actor and fighter
he insists on keeping all his lines
of endeavor going. The result is
that he sleeps less than Napoleon is
supposed to have slept and has no
time for romance of his own.
Even little Marie Wilson, who
used to collect stamps which she
almost invariably forgot to put into
her album, has abandoned the
habit.
L found most of the stamps had
been Cancelled and couldn't be used
again anyhow" she explains. III
never forget the look the Anaheim
postmaster gave me when 1 mailed
a letter with a Cancelled Peruvian
stamp on it. What use is there in
collecting stamps anyway if you
can't use them? In the future I'm
going to stick to my acting and
leave the stamps for other people
to stick to"
