MongreI Fools
Snoo+y CANNES

ANIMAL CASTING story of the
year is that of so dogs at Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer studio. which were
being looked at for roles of mon
grels in John Steinbeck's "Tortilla
Flat starring Spencer Tracy.
Director Victor Fleming was look
ing over the assorted pack, and
as usual, the dogs were putting
on an act with that instinct that
dogs and children seem to have
around important members of q
casting staff.
Dogs were sitting up, rolling
over. playing dead, prancing
around on their hind feet, and
speaking" On the edge Of the
hubbub sat a spotted dog. One
half of one ear had been lost along
the bypaths of life, and he had a
generally NANCY look.
He suddenly decided that the
rough walk would be a good back
scratcher, so he rolled over and
began TO wiggle. That's the one"
said Fleming, who was looking for
strictly cur dog, so he got the
job, and all the pedigreed CANNES
got into their station wagons, and
drove home disconsolately.

WALKING AROUND wearing a
fur coat in a show window espe-
cially an upstairs window, is
harder work than you'd think,
Miss Quinsler said.
The girls work half an hour in
the show window, then get 10
minutes rest. They work six hours
day. in two shifts, from 900
a. m. TO 800 p. m. and from 800
to 900 p. m, so it takes about 20
girls.
"It seems to worry the girls"
Miss Quinsler said, working so
high up. They get worried
about whether their knees show
from the sidewalk, and every so
often I go down and stand on
Woodward avenue and come
back and tell them that they
look all right. That convinces
them for a WHILE"
THE GIRLS do so much walk
ing that they wear out a lot of

Clark Gables Turn
Ne at Deal on Auto

CLARK GABLE has just sold
an automobile and closed the
budget on an unexpected trip.
When he and Carole Lombard
and two friends were hunting in
WATERFOWL, S. D.. they had de-
cided to return home by airplane.
But flying weather was bad so they
bought a cheap car and came back
via motels. The trip for the four
of them cost SS7.
Now Gable has Just sold the car
at loss of only Sis. which makes
the entire trip add up to a magnifi-
cent Sl02 divided by four.

vantage.
Their feet don't show from the
street. so they can wear any old
kind of shoes, from moccasins to
house slippers.
This destroys some of the illu-
sieh of glamour when you see the
girls close up. -
However, they are still very
good looking girls. At least three

Tincher, Marlene Nemeth and
Mildred Zumbroegel. one or two
have been lured- away by CONNER

one, Sharon Ross, sings in night

they know and some they don l.

Some of them catch the boss in
the right mood. but by and large
not very many of these hero
worshippers meet the girls.
There are. by the way. some
fans who never make any attempt
to meet or communicate with the
girls, but the girls get so that they
recognize these fans, anyway.
They are men, of various ages,
who appear at some particular
spot on Woodward at the same
time every day. The girls assume
that it is their lunch hour.
Anyway. the men watch for a
few minutes and then disappear
until the next day.
THE GIRLS also come to rec
ognize people such as traffic
policemen, aud develop q sign

MISS QUINSLER said that

the upstairs models, but she

TREVOR PROSECUTED

Among those who are being per-
secuted is Claire Trevor for whom
Ford works. while Holden keeps
on with his ranger of fortune
activities preferring gun play to
honest work.
A. matter Of fact. he double
crosses his rustler associates and
helps Ford get Claire's cattle
Athyough to Abilene with the usual
fatal reprisal. Although Holden
and Claire are IN love, it is Ford
with whom she finally rides off
into that beautiful sunset.
Despite the familiarity OF the
theme. there's enough action so
that you haven't time 20 think
Where have l seen this before ?"
HAS FINE CAST
The cast is fine one with
Holden, Trevor and Ford, making
a sure-fire starring trio. Bancroft
and Addison Richards are. as you
may have guessed. responsible for
all the conniving and the dirty
work.
Special credit should 90 to
George Meehan for his direction
of photography which is superb.

tional fun contributed by Ruth

PLENTY OF COMEDY
OF course the Ink Spots do sew

being Java 1--WE" which they

strumental and vocal combination
seems better each time we hear
them, but we do like their soft
swing selections best.

as This Love OF Mine" while
Avery Parrish is the tenor soloist.

Pro Musica
And Barrie
Concerts

APPEARING in Detroit for the
first time the Belgian Piano
String Quartet played under the
auspices of the Pro Musica last
night in the lecture hall of the
Art Institute.
The four artists. Gustav Mo-
maerts, pianist; Joseph Wetzels,
'cellist; Albert Rather. violinist,
and Carl Foidart, violist. are in
deed gifted musicians and perform
expertly together.
MUSICAL PUZZLE
Some of the music. however,
which they presented last night
was not quite so expert. The
charming "Sonate a Quaue" by
Jean-Baptiste Loeillet. the early
eighteenth century Belgian COM
poser, hardly prepared us for the
extreme discord of Alexandra
Tansman's Suite of Divertisse-
ment which followed. OF all these
bits" which were dedicated to
the quartet, only two might be
called plausible and they bordered
on musical trivia.
Also the modern Quartet by
Jean Absil proved upsetting even
to the ears of advanced scholars.
Best of all was the First Quartet
of Gabriel Faure which brought
the concert to a close. This was
practically lyrical treat COM
