MOVED OUT WEST


MY OLD friend Blanche Ring is
living in Beverly Hills with her
sister Mrs. Thomas Meighan, not
very far from my own Maple drive
house. She is here 10 do a PIC
t,Ire for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer !
won't it be wonderful 2? SAID
Frances. eff Blanche clicks in a
bie way? ?" Certainly there is no
reason why she shouldn't: When
blanche sang .Rings on My FIN
gers and Bells on My Toes" she
was the toast of Broadway. She
Is still a mighty attractive woman.
Francis has sold all her eastern
property and built house on The
old Will Rogers estate. Il just got.
I'm under the wire before prioritles
put a stop to building" said Fran
ces, 'and / have gone completely
Hollywood"
THE REAL THING
IT'S JUST another one of life's
little ironies that the eccentric
william Saroyan, who drove
Metro Goldwyn Mayer crazy
playing q miniature piano In the
scenario department all the time
he was writing "The Human
Comedy" should have turned
out one of the great serious
movies Of the year! Just as the
picture Is about TO be released,
william, UP to his usual unex-
pccted tricks, gets himself mar
ried 70 lS-year-old Carol Mar
Gus, surprising, suspect, even
his unpredicfable self.
Saroyan's private life may be
something of a three ring circus
but no can write, and IL has
been n long time since the Hol-
Iywood critics have seen a inner
movie than Human Comedy.
4 It holds the mirror up to life
no wildly Il might have been
called Tho Human Tragedy
and pictures people we have all
known rs seen through the eyes
Of a messenger boy mickey
Rooney.
CHATTER IN HOLLYWOOD
YOU GALS who think you
would give your eye teeth 10 be
An the movies-read this and weep.
Eddie Shellhorn, swho is one OF
the heads of the foreign depart
nnent at Paramount, was mad as
n hornet Saturday morning when
!. his secretary didn't put in an APP
pearance. He waited until 1O
O'Clock, and then IL, and was
walking the floor with rage when
his phone rang. 1t was the gal
Friday-Val Perkins.
sMr. Shellhorn," she almost
sobbed. 81 was right on time
this morning. was walking
across the lot when Mr.. Nickel
John, the talent scout, saw me
and made me come over here to
mako n test for n part in the
uuinyited.' Please, MIR. She'll
horn. can you come and get
me. I'm worried sick about my
Job
IT'S TURNABoUT
W JUST AS we told you, Anne
Baxter steps into Teresa
Wright's role In North Star"
Teresa's doctor told Sam Gold
wyn that while his star will he
well I'm about a month IL would
be extremely unwise for her 10
no on the strenuous location
trips called for I'm the script.
Probably one girls misfortune
will be another girls good luck,
for Anne gets the break of a
lifetime and Sam usually turns
out successes. Even waiting a
month for Teresa would have
worked n financial hardship
since the actors are all under
contract and waiting 10 90 be-
fore the cameras.
