who made the peek-a-boo bang
famous Is resting and getting her
strength back.
POLICE PROTECTION
Would you think il could hap
pen IN Hollywood. home OF Gary
Cooper Charles Boyer Ty Power
Alan Ladd and other killers
that R-k-O has asked The aid or
25 Los Angeles policemen 10 get
Frank Sinatra INTO town Aug IL
Not since the hey day Of Rudolph
Valentino have I heard OF such
carrying on about popular IDOL
Bing Crosby can get across the
street all right but u seems that
such terrific mobS greeted Sinatra
everywhere in the East that there
were several cases Of violence. SO
II isn't a clever publicity gag on
the part OF R-K-O. They have
Frank lined up FOR A movie and
they want him all IN one piece.
READY MONEY
What do YOU think Of Judy
Garland and Fred AStare as a
team. That sounds TO me like
ready money AT the box office.
The Ginger Rogers-Fred AStaire
movie piled up a pretty fortune
for R-K-O and now M-G-M has
the same idea for their recently
acquired star. After Fred finishes
''Ziegfeld Folhes,' IN which he
will do his dance Specialiues. he
will be Co-starred with Judy IN
The Belle Of New York
Remember M-G-M bought The
Belle of New York from Cosmo-
polltan Picture Co. II starred
Marion Davies in a silent motion
picture and years before that II
was presented on the stage with
Edna May in the starring role,
POOR GUESSERS
You get a pretty good idea what
good glIesSers the Harvard Lam
pooners are when Ann Sheridan
and Gene Tlerney were among the
girls chosen by them as least
likely 10 succeed So wide Of the
mark have these boys Int their
predictions. that Charles koerner
has decided 10 DO a picture about
a girl who loses her job as a result
of The LampoonerS lampoOn
She goes 10 college and ends up
by marrying the editor who SAID
she could not succeed Charlie Is
calling his picture b m b o o
Blonde and is starring a nation
wide search through R-k-O eN-
changes 10 fund such a girl.
CHATTER IN HOLLYWOOD
A sequence in the Bob Hope
movie They Got Me Covered
which incidentally was Sam Gold
WINS idea shows MuSSollni flee
ing Italy IN a plane Hope yellS.
"Hitler's bum - MuSSolnl pops
out from behind a newspaper and
SAYS. You're telling me" London
loves that scene and when MusSo-
lini was ouSted a newspaper re-
porter cabled Sam to see II he
would predict when Italy viii be
oui Of the war. Sam says Sept J.,
and has bet with Leland Hay
ward 10 that effect He won 500
from Leland on the MuSSolini
custer, betting il would happen
before Aug. !.
