Pulham, ESQ.," the daughter of an
immigrant who settled in Chicago
and left his next generation offspring
that trace Of Old World dialect.
Miss Morgan, whose first starring
picture in this country. Joan Of
Paris" comes next to Keith's, thinks
accents are unnecessary. Upon her
arrival here as one of R-K-O's
proudest imports, she got busy at
once learning English, the plainest
kind of English. She spent an entire
year at it. It was a hard and busy
year during which special attention
was given to the "r's" and "l's" that
give away most persons whose vocal
chords were conditioned in France.
The end result was SO perfect that
not even when she is excited does
Miss Morgan betray herself.
Out of her experience in learning
English, she has developed a theory
which she thinks should be utilized
by others in the same boat. 1t Is
that English is best taught by a
Russian. That Is because it was an
aristocratic Muscovite who accom-
plished the trick of effecting the gut
tural which affected her "r" during
the English lesson.
Her associate principal in the same
picture Is Paul Henreid, who has
not been so successful as Miss Nor
gan in getting down to untarnished
English. Mr.. Henreid, who plays a
young man prosecuted by the Nazis
in Joan of Paris" may be remem-
bered as the chap who so effectively
portrayed Gestapo agent in Might
Train" and later, in Elmer Rice's
Flight to the West" which played
a week at the National last season.

THE night clubs in Hollywood are
practically deserted" continues
Carole. Women can't go there
alone, and there are simply no men
to take them. AL the unmarried
boys have either gone into the Army
or Navy or are waiting to 60. Most
of the night places have closed,
and those open cater strictly to
the tourist trade. I saw more men
in one evening in Washington than
I've seen in Hollywood for the past
four months!"
And this brings up the question
of Miss Lands marriage to Writer
Producer Gene Markey, the sup
posed reason for her stop-over In
the country's Capital. Markey, the
once husband of Joan Bennett and
Hedy Lamar, was seen quite bit
with Carole before he enlisted In
the Navy. And when the starlet
informed her studio Goth Century,
Fox) of her journe.1 to Washing
ton, a bright boy in the publicity
department coupled the trip with
similar jaunt of Markeys. And
prestol A marriage.
But it's not true" protests Car
ole. who, II she saw Markey in WASH
ington, is being coy and secretive
about it. "Of course I know Gene
rather well, but I've known other
men In my life. That doesn't mean
I'm going to marry them.
"Just put two and two together"
advises the actress. my next pic
ture for Fox is 'Rochestra Wife
opposite George Montgomery. Now
George is engaged to Hedy lamar.
Hedy was once married to Mr..
Markey. Every story about my
marriage to Gene mentioned my
new picture with George, who was
going to marry Hedy. who was once
the wife. etc, etc. Dye get it?"
Having lived in Hollywood for
six years, Miss Lands does not have
to explain further. So we jump to
the subject of Miss Lamar and her
fiance, with whom Carole has al
ready worked in pictures.
For the first time since Hedy
started getting married, she has
found q boy who likes to stay home
In the evenings" Carole says. "All
her other husbands and beaus
wanted to take her out to show her
of. Hedy hates to dress up, she's
the peasant type, likes to sit around

on the floor and eat and cook at
home.
George is one of &c or II chill
dren. He's used to home life. He
supports his entire family, and loves
it. Some people might have been
soured with so much home, but not
George He's great big kid at
heart. And boy, is he In love with
Hedy. Whenever he has a spare
moment he dashes over to see her.
They just sit and look at each other
for hours"
Carole thinks this is the real thing
for the handsome ex-cowboy star.
Although she remembers the time
when he was almost as much smit-
ten with Ginger Rogers whose escort
he was before Jean Cabin appeared
on the scene Il hope I'm not con-
fusing YOU'D.
George had Ginger so much on
his mind that he'd forget and call
me by her name" Carole says. HE
was very unhappy when Ginger
started going around with Cabin,
who until then used to see a lot
of Marlene Dietrich. But now Jean
has gone back to Marlene" CNow
I'm getting confused)
Just to bring the Hollywood gossip
completely up to date, Carole in
forms me that Victor beautiful
hunk-of-man) Mature has now re-
covered from his brief marriage
with Martha Stephenson Kemp,
has rented himself a nice big house
(as against the small apartment
where he lived with Martha) and
finds 1t delightful to 60 home anc
find dinner ready at the appointed
time. Which makes two home boys
in Hollywood.
Miss Lands will shortly be seen

whole thing seems SO remote now
that even the adults may be pre-

The Wookey." that play about
the Cockney tugboat captain who

government, had boy in the cast,

duce. The lad did very well, too.
Even in Macbeth"
Little Dark Horse" an abortive
French comedy which Miss Theresa

ing a charming little Negro boy.
Unfortunately, the play was not

hasco. All Men Are Alike" who
reused the homicidal instincts of
many a playgoer last fall, have
done more than their share in pro-
viding a prop for as wobbly struc-
ture as authors and producers have
raised in years.
Justifiably, then, there have been
happy youthful cries mingling with
the walls of authors, producers and
actors whose own splendid dreams
came to nothing. Not all the young
ones, of course, have reason to
cheer, although in all cases they
did well.
One, indeed. Patricia Hitchcock,
daughter of Alfred Hitchcock, the
movie producer and director, could
be singled out for personal
triumph in Solitaire" a play which
never caught on though it deserved
to be a hit. Little Miss Hitchcock,
as the child whose parents could
not understand her interest in an
old tramp and his pet rat, gave
as excellent a performance as one
could wish TO see.
Not for Washington.
At the opening of the season
there were four shows on Broadway
in which children had a lively part ::
The Moss Mart musical, Lady In
the Dark" starring Gertrude Law
lence; the perennial Life With
Father" Watch on the Rhine" and
"The Corn Is Green"
The 10 children in Lady in the
Dark" appear in one Of the dream
sequences and incidentally are held
to be the reason why that hit hasn't
gone on the road yet. 1t was
scheduled to start on tour, but the
producer found a snag Immediately
in the District Of Columbia child
labor laws which would have pre-
vented the show from playing IN
Washington.
Watch on the Rhine" still hasn't
played the Capital and probably
won't. There are two children In
the cast. 1t did, however, play

A few specialties, affected by spe-
