OF the general manager of a major

Morning after the preview one of the

HULL WOOD.
About Is years ago 1 said good by
to a very sad comedian as he drove
out of the Ambassador Hotel court
yard on his way back EaSt-a flop in
pictures But a few years later the
little ball rolled round and stopped
at Bill Fields lucky number and
here he was back again, great sue
cess and star.
He was sitting in his shirt sleeves
on his back porch. There of course
was a table with lot of bottles,
glasses and ice on it. AS he talked
he sounded strangely like the man
who used to sound like Bill on Fib-
ber McGee's program-the one who
always found "a check for short
beer in his wallet.
Cecil De Miles place is adjoining
and some one asked if he saw Cecil
often. Bill said mo, Mr.. De Mile
is a highbrow and I'm bum-they
don't miX!"
Out and In Again.
He reminisced and told tales. One
of the little group was a girl visitor
and when Bill wanted to tell bar
room yarn he made her go in the
house! Being an old-time variety
artist he didn't know that in fash
ionable circles today there is no
verbal restraint whatever. Poor Bill
doesn't realize that decency is con-
sidered hopelessly horse-and-buggy!
He had an accident in a theater
once in which he broke his neck and
couple of other bones and they
made him go to the hospital al
though old-time acrobats never went

so they compromised with a card

He got to the time where he
couldn't stand the hospital any
longer but they had taken away his
clothes. He promised them he would

stairs in his own house-the card
board collar kept him from looking
down-he tripped and fell the whole
flight and broke the other end of
mis- spinal column and back he went
to the hospital for six weeks more!
He felt outraged a little while ago
at persistent cemetery lot salesman
who wanted to sell him a lot. He
finally got it into the mans head
that he didn't want lot and had no
intention of croaking.
Fields said he wished I'd create

A Soothing Lawn.
"Yes, 1 wish 1 could" I told him.
"just for you-so you could play him
without makeup.
That reminded one of us that we'd
first met in 1914 backstage at Nora
Bayes show.
Except for secretary and a cook,
Bill lives alone IN the big stone
house and he sits on his porch day
after day, just looking at the most
lawn I ever saw outside of a polo
field. Bill has the lawn cut twice
a week because a nicely Trimmed
lawn-he says-is soothing to his
nerves.
Some one asked Bill If he had any
pets.
Like the true vaudevillian he is, he
replied: Not to mention-Oh you
mean dogs and cats and things"
The friend did
Nope, nope" said Bill. My
mother didn't like dogs and I asked
her why one time She said, I'll

impression on me and it grew on me-

And people-well, this one anyway

HOLL WOOD.
There's one little item movie stars
watch closer than their weight-the
count on their fan mail or how many
times fans approach them for auto
graphs.
It's their billing.
Whether it's on theater marques,
in the agate leads over preview
notices in the Hollywood trade
papers or the position on the cafe
menu of the sandwich or salad
named after them. the star must
have top billing-or there's heck to
pay.
Stars treasure memories of extra
fine personal billing. Claudette Col
bert, for instance. has a snapshot
of the first theater that had her
name shining in light blubs from
its marquee. This is framed and
occupies a prominent spot on a table
in her home
In Jack Benny's dressing room is
a picture of the theater that first
gave him top billing. Tyrone Power
proudly displays photo of the Gin
cinnati theater playing his first star
picture, "Lloyds of London" with
crowds lined up for block.
Before Breakfast.
Hollywood knows many precious
stories of jealousies fomented by
the sighting of a stars name or
photograph. Heads of studios, in
dividual producers and directors help
make up an inordinately proud and
sensitive breed. They are not so SEN
sitive about what the outside world
thinks. Their own little world is
bounded by Main street on the east
and the Pacific Ocean on the west.
It's only what Hollywood thinks of
them that really counts.
Many actors-eXecutives too-hire
personal press agents and pay them
fat weekly wages just to see that
their names appear frequently in
the two Hollywood trade papers,

The Wo0dpecker
BY Cristine Park Hankinson

The woodpecker stopped at the
June apple tree,
And hammered the tree-trunk in
dustriously.
"Tap-tap-tap" was the sentence he
said
And followed each word with a
shake of the head.
"Tap-tap-tap', he repeated the din;
But nobody opened, inviting him
in.
"Tap-taptap", and the little red
hood
Bobbed backward and forward as
fast as it could;
And then, without breathing as
much as a sigh,
He placed at the crevice his sharp
little eye.
Two larvae were sleeping inside on
shelf;
So he knocked off the entrance,
and just helped himself.
The love of money is not confin-
ed to those who have most.
