HOLLYWOOD. FEB. u tUP)-
Once a week l 80 through my note
book Cwhen l can find it, that isl
and try to interpret the scrawls,
scratches and odd symbols which
l have put there to remind myself
of things I might forget
1t seems that last week these
were some of the notations l made:
Mrs. H. Nix. Biscuit That ones
easy Mrs. Charles S. Howard was
Mt at Santa Anita last Saturday
when Seabissuit won because she
was afraid he would lose again
Mrs. Howard loves the Biscuit so
much that she breaks into tears
and is almost overcome when he is
beaten. Having seen him beaten IN
four previous starts she missed see
ing and hearing one of the greatest
oVations ever paid TO any American
racehOrSe.
"A. CT Grapevine Blake You
might think. at first glance, that
tins is about a man named Mr..
A. G. Grapevine Blake. But it isn't.
/
for Garcia, who'll fight here Friday
for the middleWeight title. The
grapevine part concerns perSiS-
tent rumor in this town that the
fight is going to end in a draw.
The Blake is George Blake, who'll
referee the fight, all reports to the
contrary. Since this note was made
I have learned that Manager Eddie
Mead has backed down on his in
sistence for five ounce gloves for
Armstrong and that the welter-
weight champion will use the same
siX-ouncers as his opponent.
Il. O. Brod So" This notation is
all too clear to me. II means that
l owe five bucks to Broderick CraW-
ford the original Lennie of Mice
and Men. Being an honest person.
and taking his size and strength
into consideration, l am going to
pay him on sight. l still feel, how
ever that he should have given me

ture, are expertly delineated by
Brian Donlvy, Broderick Craw-
ford, Stuart Erwin and Frank AL
bertson. Andy Devine, in the role
of the Dalton's girl-chasing ranch
hand, also gives an impressive per-
Torrance. George Bancroft is ef-
fective as the rich man of Coffey-
vile. One of many surprises is the
intensely dramatic portrayal of Ma
Dalton by Mary Gordon. Fine sup
porting work is done by Quen Ram
sey, Harvey Stephens, Edgar Deer
ing, Fay Mckenzie and others.
George Marshall, who directed
"Destry Rides Again. has done an
equally fine job with When the
Daltons Rode" Not the least of
his achievements is the injection of
comedy into his action scenes.
The climax of the film is the
celebrated Dalton raid on Coffey-
vile in 1892, when the outlaws at
tempted the old Vests only double
bank robberty. The wealth of &C
ton preceding this event in the pic
ture makes it difficult to imagine
the possibility of any greater ex-
element, but director Marshall,
has done it. 2

Loretta Young Is Star
Of Film At Carolina

a comedy of outrageously humor-
ous consequence. In addition, Alan
Marshal lends further humor to
the film, in his role as the elegant
young publisher of a newspaper.
Eager to replace Palette in Miss
Young's affections, he has center
ed all the journalistic fire he can
upon the unhappy husband. Shoot
ing him is a good idea, and Mar
until he discovers that Miss Young
is hiding the would-be assassin!
Douglas, caught between these
cross-fires of romance and of jeal-
ousy, is said to provide a brilliant
and delightful characterization as
the fugitive who hid from the law
in a lady's boudoir and stayed
not only for breakfast but for his
lunch, tea, dinner, breakfast and
a few other meals! Miss Young,
according to advance reports, ex-
ceeds even her fine comedy work

He Stayed For Breakfast
To Open Tomorrow;
Douglas Is Co-Star

Loretta Young, who shot to a
new fame with her comedy role,
in Columbia's THE Doctor Takes
a Wife" said Melvyn Douglas, who
record as one of Hollywood's most
gifted farceurs, are the new come
dy starring combination of Colum-
bias HE Stayed for Breakfast"
which opens tomorrow at the Caro-
lima theatre. Hailed as n of the
seasons most delightful love-on-the
the-run laughfests, He Stayed for
Breakfast was directed by Alex
ander Hall with a supporting cast
which includes Alan Marshal, Eu-
gene Palette and Una O'Connor.
Set in a Paris background, the
new comedy hilariously describes
the romance of a politically-con-
scious cafe waiter and the es-
tranged wife of a pompous bank
er. Douglas, in the former role,
is a fugitive from the law for hav-
ing taken a pot-shot at the finan-
cier; Miss Young connives at his
escape and, in the end, takes a
shot at the financier herself! But
between the hectic beginning and
the hilarious ending of He Stayed
for Breakfast" there is said to be
an immeasurable quantity of great
good humor, of delightful, witty
dialogue and of happily novel sit
uations.
Palette, as the banker, provides
his share of tn e.. complications.
Anxious to restore himself to his
former wife's good graces, equally
anxious to capture the fugitive,
whom he suspects she is hiding,
Pallette's presence on the scene
lends telling effectiveness to
