thing more appropriate. Didn't he,
just?
Speaking Of Mr.. T., 1t is he one
asks how In the world he ever
recognized that any 50 different
singer as Bonnie might catch the
public by the heart as she has. A
modest chap, he answers that one
very simply:
why, she just came in one night
and sang with us in st. Louis. She
didn't sing like any other singer
I'd ever heard, but I noticed she
went over big with the audience.
She sang such things as Red Sails
in the Sunset" and sang them well
enough but with voice that set
me to wondering what she would be
like with things better suited to her
personality and style. That's all
there Is to it,"
Reverting to the movie which the
Tucker band and singer are to
make in Hollywood, cute Bonnie is
interested in it in a personal way
that has no professional flavor.
Producer of the picture is Gene
Markey, and Mrs. Markey, Of course,
is Hedy La Marr. Bonnie is hop
ing she may meet Hedy while she
is in Hollywood.
IF do I'm going right over
and hug her." she predicts enthusi-
astically.
Why?
Because she brought back bru-
nettes," says Bonnie.
X
A funny angle on that is that
Bonnie will need a ladder, but
Paramount undoubtedly will be sem
sible enough to provide one on the
theory it would make a good pub
lcity picture.
Or would 1t ALLEVIATE the blond
trade? .

stone, Ariz. In the lobby, across the
stage from the bar, the editor of the
local newspaper has his desk, for
some reason probably known only to
Charles Hoyt, who wrote the play,
and the editor who has his desk
there.
Anyhow, this is where Kitty and
her realism loomed on the scene, the
first time she heard of what was
going on. The editor, it seems, is
one of the better customers of the
institution across the lobby, Mr.. Hoyt
having beaten Hollywood to the draw
on that one. To save time the editor
has had pulley arrangement made,
that he may send basket across the
room, in which the bartender can
send back lemonade, or something.
Mrs. Romney was very unhappy,
she was, when she discovered that
there was to be trickery in this
scene. Director Ralph Fowler had
arranged for duplicate baskets; the
editor would send his aloft on his
side and after reasonable passage
of time the bartender would pull
one down, so 1t would just appear
as though a basket had gone across
the stage. Deeply hurt by this at
tempt to deceive, Mrs. Romney
sought out Designer Don Jones.
This is a fine thing" she main
tanned. We've had everything on
this stage. We've had trains roar
ing across it. And you can't make
a simple little trolley to carry
glass of iced teal"
Hey" shouted the indignant Mr..
Jones. II can build anything. I
only make what the boss tells me.
He told me to make this trolley
thing with two baskets and no
trolley. That's the way I'm making
it. But can build a cement con-
veyor on the stage If Ralph wants
one"
So Mrs. Romney complained to
Mr.. Fowler. Patiently. he explained
that the trolley had to be used. so
many times during the scene that
there would be you-know-what to
pay if it fouled the first time. Mrs. r.
thought that was logical, but kept
on with her complaining to Messrs.
Fowler and Jones. Then, just the
other day, she learned that Don

already was spending all his time
devising a trolley arrangement that
would permit the customers to see
the basket 60 bounding across from
editor to bar and back. Ralph had
told him to go ahead with it after
Kitty's first complaint. And 1t
had better work." Mr.. Jones told
her, cor you will not be allowed to
show your face around here"
But that didn't frighten so much
as his parting shot hurt.
I'm making the one Ralph
wanted in the first place, too," Don
sneered, "just in case"

The S feet no inches. 22-year-old,
100-pound Bonnie-dont we ask the
most personal questions?-is not the
current singing sensation of the Re-
public for nothing (and we don't
mean money. She is having the
time of her life and loving every
minute of it. And, if she is not car
rying her act off-stage, sophistica-
tion has no more caught her than
it has the heroines of those songs
she sings. Ma, He's Maxim Eyes at
Me-" Billy" etc. Perhaps sophisti-
cation just isn't for 100-pound bru-
nettes, five feet tall. 1t is a thought
that rattles around in the brain
when one is talking to Bonnie, at
any rate.
With Band Boss Orrin Tucker,
Miss Baker is looking forward at
this time to the groups first venture
in picture making. That will be in
the fall, under the auspices of Para
mount.
Unfeazed is Bonnie when it is
suggested that band pictures have
not been the highest art achieved in
Hollywood. This has been pretty
lucky world for her so far. and she
gives the impression of thinking that
it is going right on being lucky. That
takes care of the picture job. She
just hopes they will let her remain
Bonnie Baker, a little girl with a
little voice, who stands as immobile
as the Washington Monument when
she sings. Hollywood would be crazy
not to, if it is looking for advice,
which it isn't.
* X X
Her friendliness, the Houston
CTex) kind, makes it possible to ask
Bonnie questions which suspicious
artistic might not regard as plain
amiable curiosity. It is one Of the
extremely pleasant things about her
that you can ask, for instance, how
much vocal training she has had and
where she learned to sing.
II taught myself" she explains,
"and it wasn't until after had been
singing professionally for two years
that I had any instruction"
She does not fancy herself as any
thing other than popular vocal
phenomenon with suitable style
and personality. Nor has she ambi-
ton to be anything else. She admits
to furtive passion for singing bal
lads, but those are the things she
stopped singing publicly when Tuck
er decided she'd be great If she had
the right kind of material. His
choice of the type of thing she is
now singing. an obviously masterful
choice as even the income tax man
knows, is not criticism of her way
with a ballad. 1t was just that lots
of girls had ways with ballads and
