 We're pretty lucky office boys. Bob Hope often comes over Co our oface and reads us his new radio show. He likes to get reactions from the boys because he says we tell him the truth. f

 SEE THE STARS
 Much of our work brings ug In personal contact with the stars. We do Q lot of errands for them and soon get to know them very well. Stars like Claudette Colbert, Bing Crosby, Madeleine Carroll and oth- CT top names get . great deal of ate tention, but the other day Q secre- tary in the publicity department received just as much service Aa any Of them. Her name Is Ella Horos and for seven years she hes been secretary at Paramount After refusing several screen tests, File accepted Q role ln Tor pedo Boat" and you would have thought she was Mrs. Roosevelt making e screen debut. Jean Parker gave Ella her star dressing room to use that day. Richard Arlen gave her Q set chalr with her name on It, and others sent flowers or other gifts. I must have delivered 30 telegralns to her OH the set.
 Ella doesn't want to give up her Job as Q secretary, but after the producers saw the picture, they liked her so much she has been given another role in "I'll Be Back in e Flash.p Here's c funny thing about it: Ella, Q secretary in real life, will have the role of 6 show girl, and Alice White, who was big star several years back playing showgirl roles, will play the part of Q secretary.
 UP THEY GO
 Many of HoliywoodS outstanding executives started as offlce boys Mervyn Le Roy was once MT. DC Miles office boy. Director William Weliman started that way also only c few years ago, Stanley Rubin was in our department, telling the fellows he wanted to be q writer Now he has his own office in tho writer's building and has quite Q few screen credits.
 Many of our former boys are now in important positions in the pro- ductlon end, the publicity depart ment, the casting ofaces. Some Are cutters, business managers, direc- tors, and others have varied posi- tons.
 So you see, if we don't get ahead, it's our own fault.
