No Marriage
OnHer Mind,
Says Deanna
Steady Boy Friend,
Miss Durbin Has.
But That's All
By Tern Haaeland,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

HOLLYWOOD.
Deanna Durbin, going on 18 and
her second million, says she has a
steady boy friend, but no. matri-
monial intentions.
Seventeen is a bit too young to
think about marriage, she says, and
anyhow she's prefectly happy the
way things stand.
And why not? A film star on an
easy two-pictures-a-year schedule;
a quarter of a million dollars, more
or less, coming in every year-for
doing that which she most enjoys,
singing-and a boy friend Of whom
the parents approve?
The boy friend is Vaughn Paul, a
good looking, clean-cut young fellow
of family and means. Deanna doesn t
mind telling about him.
I'VE were embarrassed" she smiles,
when, at my birthday party last
December, word got around that
Vaughn had given me a ring and
we were planning an elopement.
That's silly. We go steady. but
we don't consider ourselves engaged.
Marriage is so far of I haven't given
1t thought"
Deanna is the girl whose lifting
voice rescued her studio, Universal,
from the brink Of bankruptcy four
years ago after Metro-G Goldwyn-
Mayer, her first employers, let her
go without making picture.
Never Had 4 Flop.
Her first film, Three Smart Girls, -
was a sensational box Office success,
and those which followed we're cut
to such similarly appealing pattern
that she now has the distinction Of
being one of the few actresses in
Hollywood with not a flop to her
record. There hasn't been time yet
to discover whether her seventh film,
"It's a Date" pre-viewed last week,
will have the same lure for movie
fans, but the studio is confident that
1t will.
Universal paid Deanna $174,916
last year. Other sources-Durbin
dolls, dresses, various ''tieups"-
brought in perhaps $4,000 more.
But to Deanna, who isn't especially
good at figures, her salary is a COM
fortably vague thing, handled by
capable adults, which assures her Of
everything she wants-a pleasant
home with her parents and harp,
electric organ and piano (none of
which she has time to play, SWIM
ming pool, an automobile she is
just learning to drive and plenty
of pretty dresses.
And home movie protector. She's

Tracy is 'tops"-and would like to

Strange as it may seem, there
still remain a few citizens, living in
not too-remote corners of this globe
who don't go to the movies-or even
rea dabout the glamor folks. The
names and faces you may rave
about don't mean a thing to them.
Much to thei rastonishment (and
secret cfiagrin), all the stars at one
time or another have run smack up
against such leveling experiences.
Only last week Douglas Fairbanks,
jr.. was dining with some friends at
the Victor Hugo in Beverly Hills.
He decided to leave in their car. He

"Tell my chauffeur, out in the

The waiter looked at Fairbanks
blankly few seconds.
Finally. he inquired, whats the
name, please?"
Mr.. Fairbanks, for a few seconds,
was fit to be tied.
He Didn't Know 'Oomph."

Has a Place.,
He Thinks
William Kozlenko
Is Champion of
Short Dramas
By Mark Barron,
Associated Press Stan Writer,
NEW YORK

NEW YORK.
William Kozlenko is young man
with ideas, determined ideas, that
the one-act play is a possibility for
success on Broadway. The odds
went up in his favor with his newest
presentation last week after several
other efforts in the past drew rather
frigid glances from the Rialto crowds
Since those nights in 1927 when
the national Little Theater tourna-
ment clamored onto the stage Of
Florenz Ziegfeld's New Amsterdam
Theater and sent Broadway, audi
ences away cheering for what they
first thought would be only a holi-
day Of amateur performances there
have been several efforts here to es-
tablish a successful one-act play
theater.
Kozlenko knows the hardships of
that pioneering well for he has, for
several years, been editor of the
One-Act Play magazine; he has
written and has had produced nu-'
merous one-act plays and he has
directed theaters for one-act plays.
Now in the historic Provincetown
Playhouse in Greenwich Village he
has bobbed up again with the one
act variety theater, and in this he
records q measure of progress, a
definite step forward for the aims
he has in mind. &c.,.
Three one-act plays are presented
and the box score is this: One play
is a failure and will be replaced by
another Immediately; second play
(this one written by Kozienko) is a
fairly good play and perhaps its
weak points will be strengthened,
and the third play is definite hit,
an intelligent and compelling drama
by Noel Houston.
Houston Is an Oklahoma City
newspaperman whose court report
ing has apparently been of extensive
value to him in writing this very
human and moving one-act play,
According to Law" after he studied
playwriting In North Carolina.
A Contest Winner.
The winner of the one-act play
contest of the American Civil Lib
critics Union last summer, it drama
tizes the trial Of a Negro who is
found guilty of attacking a white
woman.
Houston writes his play so that
his audience watches the trial from
the viewpoint Of an experienced re-
porter, an observer who must sup
press what might be his own nat
ural feelings and report truly what
is happening with an even more de-
tached consideration than any one
else hearing the trial.
For the case doesn't mean q career
to him as it does to the Judge or the
prosecuting and defending attorneys.
Nor does 1t mean an unfamiliar and
nervous duty as it means to the
jurymen.
But he doesn't close his eyes,
ignore what is faulty in our system
Of justice as exemplified by this
particular case. He sees and notes
that the Bill Of Rights can be
ignored when courts aren't alert OF
energetic enough to step in when

Starting his most recent trip to
New York, Tyrone Power was
stretched out comfortably in the
club car; Annabella was in a seat
beside him. The train conductor,
one of the old timer type, was be-
ginning his ticket-collecting march
down the aisle.
All transcorftinental train at
taches are rigidly trained in polite
ness and cordiality to the travelling
trade, so this fellow was not to be
outdone. He unrolled Ty's ticket
and glanced at the actors signature
inscribed on it. Then he looked
over his glasses at Ty and Anna
bella and beamed.
For This, Publicity.
''I hope you've had pleasant stay
in Los Angeles, Mr.. Powers" he said.

Ty turned to Milt Howe, studio
publicity expert, who was accom-
panying the stars to New York.

The classic tale of Hollywood un-

Barrymore's foray with a downtown
store clerk. The Great Profile, un-
mellowed as he is today, purchased
couple of cravats in the mems de-
partment and ordered them deliv-

politely.
The actor looked at the fellow icily
and snarled, "Barrymore!"

John, fleeing from the store.

Near Licenses

Flying To QuolifY

-Four Tacoma college students
are on the threshold Of becoming
licensed pilots. having neared the
end OF the course which they and
"a other local students began last
October under the supervision of
the civil aeronautics authority.
Inside of a week, at least one of
them-Jaek Wall, of Pacific Lu-
theran colleges expected to be
put through flight tests and given
a written examination as the final
steps toward receiving a private
pilots license. A CAA inspector
from Seattle will supervise this
work.
Nearly Finished
The three others who have
almost finished the course at
Mueller-Harkins field are Kermit
Ekern, also of p. L. c., and
Eugene Hall and Warren Holt,
both of the College of Puget
Sound. They, however, are several
hours short of the required total
Of 35 hours dual and solo flying,
while Wall is but one hour shy.
So far, the students have flown
a total of approximately 500 hours,
averaging a little more than Is
hours each. All but one-George
Mitchell, of c. P. Shave made
their solos, and a majority of them
has passed the halfway mark.
BY End of June

planned Mitchell has been unable
to moke his solo as yet because

before the end of summer.
