Clark O.ble used to be a movie
tough mug before 1T Happened One
Night" displayed his fair for light
comedy.
Boris karloff was the screens
most sinister personality when he
went to TIE stage for Arsenic and
Old Lace" a murder farce that be-
came a hi largely due to his sense
of comedr.
Now the top villain of many hard
boiled mo,ies, Edward G.. Robinson,
is playing a comedy role with Vera
Vague in Larceny. Inc" He also
has a screen death in the arms Of
Marlene Dietrich.
Watching the death scene en-
viously, Comedian Frank McHugh
remarked about the success of erst-

Wide World News.

HOLLYWOOD.
One of the years new movie
faces-and haircuts-belongs to a
young fellow named Harry Boag.
You're familiar with him as Ish
Kabibble.
He's the dopy guy who makes
comedy in the Kay Kyser aggrega-
ton.
First two questions always fired
at Ish are: Is that your real name
and is that your hair? He wears
thick bangs, a coif1ure which makes
him look stupid.
The name he got from q song.
Harry's father, back in Erie, Pa,
thinks It's ridiculous, but Harry
keeps telling his dad that there's
nothing In a name.
Harry wanted to be a serious
singer, but the first time he tried
to do number he was so nervous
that he gestured like a marionette.
And sang not much better. His
listeners thought Harry was funny
and 50 did Kyser.
He doesn't wear the bangs at
home or on the street. Mrs. Boag
doesn't like them. Neither do the
three young Boags.
