HOLLYWOOD, May 29 It is rather unfortunate for the cleaning and pressing business hereabouts that stephen Longstreet wrote g character called Gig Young into his novel. The Gay Sisters" On the other hand: it was very for- tunate for Byron Barr Bryant Fleming and Gig Young
 Messrs. Barr, Fleming and Young arc a 24-year-old very handsome fellow who will be a movie star ere long unless women and girls suddenly turn thumbs down on handsome young men with dash the old reliable smoulder, and a soupcon of isolence.
 If this is bit confuSed9 as6ii ,,iS the subject MT. Barr, who was get ting used to the movie name of Bryant Fleming when he played Gig Young and henceforth, by eX- ecutive decree, must be called Gig Young.
 This is because, after the sneak previeW," so many of the comment cards mentioned Gig Young" that the big boys heard mandate.
 Byron Barr arrived in Los An geles from Washington, D. C., on April Fools Day, 1887, convinced that he was no fool in wanting to be an actor. On April's eve, 1941, he signed a Warner contract.
 In, the four intervening Years. he was something of boon to the cleaning and pressing business. His first job here was night clerking in a Culver City hotel, followed by q brief career in Beverly Hills filling station Then he hit his stride. There was something about restaurants, besides food, which proved irresistible.
 He got job at the Club Cercle where on occasion he recognized movie people among the customers Some of them told him he ought to be in pictures.
 This was no news to Gig. who got fired for persistently hiding in the kitchen when co-workers from his dramatic school appeared for service.
 T didn't spill much there" he says. Tt was when I wslt to work at a drive-in that I proved de- cisively wasn't meant to be a waiter"
 He spilled soup in a ladys lap and she was very nice about it. probably spotting future movie star He also spilled su.adry other items whose owners also were nice about it."
 Art finally interfered with la bor During fellowship at the Pasadena Playhouse he studied days and acted nights, He and a fellow aspirant, Bill Hammer, shareG a backyard shack and subsided on prodigious patches of stew.

those who couldn't afford it.
AS matchmaker, she had had her eyes
on the then recently divorced attorney, Har-

Mrs Rumsey wanted to get Harrison
Tweed and Michael Strange together, be-

ruggedness about both of them.
AS the grandson of Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island, Tweed had important connec.
TONS among them the Rockefeller family and
its various interests. Like his friend Mrs.
Rumsey Mr.. Tweed was a phlanthropist in
quiet way.
Every Summer he would invite a group
of New York City high school boys to spend
the Summer at his estate at Montauk, Long
Island.
It seemed to Mrs. Rumsey that Michael
Strange could find no finer husband than
Harrison Tweed and It's just possible that
she was right.
The couple were married in London and
they were happy for years. But perhaps
there was something In the union that lacked

The story of Blanche Oelrichs' marriages
reads like something out of that feminine
Horatio Alger, Ethel M. Dell.
Blanche. though related to wealthy
families and possessor Of pedigree mile
long was poor, as poverty goes in Newport.
There was merely the ghost of a dowry
only paltry S5000 900 which Uncle Hermann
Oelrichs of the North German-Lloyd Steam
ship Company had left. And that had to be
used to take care Of overhead expenses.
What was a girl to do? Well Penniless
Blanche just like the Ethel M. Dell heroine,
packed up her lace indies and went to France
on man-hunt.
She struck gold in the person of Leonard
M. Thomas, a young American diplomat,
who had the tact to send the bright girl a
book instead of candy or flowers.
Thomas was hardly rich enough to suit
Blanche's wealthy relations though they liked
him well enough. When they were married,
Blanche\wa pointed out as another of those
happy horrible examples of Newport girls
who settled down to love in cottage"
Blanche left the cottage long enough to
march in a parade for woman suffrage. And
this is where her resemblance to the Ethel M.
