HOLLYWOOD. Oct. 8 - While
chewing tlse ragout of veal with
some publicity gents at one of the
studio restaurants, I asked a little
accusirgly whether their craft is
beginning to take on dignity or
scruples or maybe some newborn
caution. During the past two or
three years there have been, de-
plorably few bold o. ingenious
ballyhoo stunts, and it seems to me
that all forms of show business
need little circus-type press
agentry to pep them up.
No matter that publicity and
Journalism are natural enemies, or
that good reporters always will try
to expose Or ignore fabricated
events and faxed stories. Some of
the events turn into legitimate
news, and some are merely anus
ing. But they all add to the color
and engaging fantasy of this cellu-
loid dream world. If you want to
see what happens to entertainment
when it gets stiff -necked, look at
the Metropolitan Opera and the
size of its deficit.
STARS ARE
NOW ARTISTES
Well the press agents stoutly
denied they have lost their fine
flair for invention, but they gener-
ally admitted their business is less
fun these days. They said that al
though Hollywood still likes to
think as itself as a sort of gay
asylum, it's individuals all want to
be regarded as sensible citizens
and serious artistes. AS for the
cinema itself, executives are strone
for suppressing technical news ir
order to preserve the pubhc's il
lusions." This means that they
want you to believe that the hero
really booted the william into the
crater of real volcano.
Worst of all, the boys told me
is that players themselves nc
longer will cooperate in making
news. When Bebe Daniels was q
top star, she approved a sugges-
ton that she get herself arrested
and jailed for speeding-an ad-
venture which would tie in nicely
with the title of picture she hat
lust finished. Miss Daniels drove
down to Santa Ana where there
was a notoriously tough judge
played tag with a speed cop, ano
spent ter. days in the pokey.
And then there was Reginald
Denny, who didn't mind getting
lost at sea coincidentally with The

Although she is a large-framed

only 109 pounds in weight and was
eating so little that she was barely
keeping herself alive. If she drank
milk she developed an itching rash

cereal she developed temperature,
chills, and sneezing.
She had cultivated such habit
Of food rejection that she was eat

She had consulted many doctors
and been given many diets with

When she came to the hospital
she was told that her physical
symptoms were not due to foods
she ate but to the emotional state
in which she received them. She
believed what she was told. In one
single day she learned to drink
milk.
Milk is delicious, she would say

tering the hospital she ate "a tre-
mendous Christmas dinner--meat,
vegetables, mince pie and so forth.
She gaired the power of eating
without bad physical reactions by
teaching herself to think of foods
as needed, as desirable, and as
tasting good.

AYes Asks For Food Stamp Plan

Governor Roy E. Ayres has
asked officials of the federal sur.
plus corporation to put the food
stamp plan in operation in more
Montana communities in an at
tempt to offset the effects of the
general reductions in WPA pay
rolls. Under the stamp plan,
persons on relief and WPA pay
rolls can buy food stamps, and
with each purchase they receive
free stamps that are good for
foodstuffs designated as surplus
commodities.
Under the original surplus COM
modities plan. the commodities
we're bought by the government,
shipped to central points and dis
tributed free to persons on re-
lief. Under the stamp plan, the
surplus foodstuffs are given free
to the persons on relief and WPA
payrolls, but are sold by local
merchants who make their regu-
lar margin of profit.
Governor Ayres urged the cor
poration to put the plan in oper-
alton in Butte and Billings at the
earliest possible time. as well as
in other places in the state. The
stamps are sold by counties, and
redeemed by the government
through local federal disburse-
ment offices after they have been
exchanged with groceries for
foodstuffs.
He pointed out that in one
month Great Falls merchants
sold about $4,000 worth of sur
plus commodities on which they
made their regular margin of
profit. The surplus foodstuffs
cost the relief clients and WPA
workers nothing.
