Barron Chairman
OF Variety Club
Sports Show

Variety Club, activated as usual
by the call Of charity. is planning
another of its outdoor sports ven
lures. This time it will be a "caval-
cade Of thrills" to be presented in
three hair-raising editions at Grif-
nth Stadium at $3.50 pm, Friday
night, October 13, and at 2 o'clock
and again at $3.50 O'Clock, Saturday,
October IA.
"Cavalcade Of thrills" is virtually
what the title implies. It is a show
embracing group Of Hollywood
stuntmen who defy all rules of good
health and sane living, and even
death, to furnish spectators with an
almost endless series of spine-
chilling thrills. There will be some
so stunts in all. In addition the
cavalcade will be heightened with a
rodeo in which more thrills will be
scattered through Griffith Stadium.
Carter Barron, Variety's former
chief barker and sports chairman,
believes 1t will easily be one of the
biggest ventures ever to be under
taken locally. 1t was Mr.. Barron
who presided over variety's pre-
sentation of two highly successful
sports shows in recent years, each
OF which netted the clubs welfare
fund nice sum.

things.
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer is looked
upon as having very fine aggrega-
ton Of personalities for any such
program. The brief, meteoric sue
cess Of Mickey Rooney and Judy
Garland in their one-day appear
ance at the Capitol recently. and
their longer one in New York,
stamps them as a huge box office at
traction. There is quite a feeling,
too, that Myrna 10y would be a
hugely popular visiting lady. Eleanor
Powell already has shown that she
is.
In addition to Miss Sheridan,
Warmers undoubtedly could do well
with the Lanes, Priscilla, Lola and
Rosemary, with John Garfield, and
with number of others.
R-K-O probably would not think of
1t, but If it did, 1t undoubtedly could
get an enormous price for Ginger
Rogers and Paramount could pick
up gobs of gold with Dorothy La
mour and a number of others on its
pay roll.
What will happen depends upon
how hard Hollywood is pinched, but
pinched hard enough, it undoubted-
ly will put its people to work in the
''p. a" field if satisfactory deals can
be made with theatres. Exhibitors
have not been enthusiastic about ra-
dio work for picture stars, but the
new idea is quite different.

Will the dramatist work on a new

month? If not, how about tour
ing the present play longer?
If not a tour should the play re-
turn to New York as one of a Lunt
repertoire, and what other revivals
might be included in such plan?
Are two baggage cars, two sleep
ers and so actors too much for a
romp about the country?
How about a West Coast trip last
ing until January when the new play
is almost certain to be ready?
So, you see, everyone has prob
lens, including the Lunts.

Is too nebulous q notion for any one

The idea of personal appearance
