Bathing Miss Lamour
Becomes a Costly,
Tedious Process
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
Dorothy Lamour certainly can
sympathize with you boarding -house
folks who have tough time getting
enough hot water for your Saturday
night baths.
For when Dotty dunks the lily
white body for benefit of camera, it s
not just bath, it's project!
Currently Miss Lamour is making
her 18th sarong picture, Rainbow
Island" burlesoue of all her other
sarong films; and in it she spends
at least a reel Or two frolicking in
the waters of a tropical, palm
fringed sylvan lagoon.
Now this enticing, flower banked
pool is just cozy little affair
about 120 feet square and contain
ing mere 350,000 gallons of water
8 feet deep. And heating the water
to body temperature requires 70
hours.
But before the water starts circu-
lating into the pool, it first runs
through boiler, 80 feet long and Il
feet in diameter. that burns oil at
the rate of q gallons an hour. This
oil, costing ia cents gallon at the
corner filling station, is fed into a
large burner with live steam, under
100 pounds pressure.
This little bathing apparatus Is
the masterpiece of E. H. Peters,
studio conditioning engineer.
He spent four years designing and
building it, and, to Miss Lamour
it's practically as essential as q
sarong.

At one time, Sono Osato's ambi-
tion was to make just one person in
every audience cry.
That was when she was q ballet
soloist in the Metropolitan Opera
House.
But now, since the opening OF
"One Touch of Venus" in which
Miss Osato is the premiere danseuse,
she's provoking laughter instead of
tears. Especially Is this true in one
scene: A dance of young girl
waiting for her sailor.
"One Touch of Venus" Is Miss
Osato's first musical and she is a
little surprised at her success as a
comedienne.
AFTER working In ballet for nine
years, which is deadly serious dane

She has certain impish quality

feels, are more effective with the

Boss Likes Him.
But Box Office
Still a Question
By James Lindsey.
HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Out at Paramount, some of the
master minds get mild attacks of
the f1uttering twitches when they
think of the 100000 they've
gambled on husky young Irish
man whom they keep tied to a pole
most of the time.
The H. Y. I. is Barry Sullivan
OF the New York Sullivans, and the
Iact that they keep him tied to a
pole has nothing whatever to dc
with this story.
They looked at the preView of q
picture which hasn't even been re-
leased, said Hes pretty good,
then tossed him in there as leading
man to Dorothy Lamour in Rain
bow Island" a technicolor opus
which will cost $2,OOO,OOO
The point is, they think Sullivan's
good but they aren't quite sure what
the customers will think, inasmuch
as the mans film experience has
been strictly limited and includes
one or two vehicles about which
the studio will speak only in hushed
voices if at all.
This has the general effect of
placing Paramount on the spot
Sullivan is on the spot, too, of
course, only the worst that could
happen to him would be that he'd
have to return to the New York
stage, which right now he thinks
would be pretty bad, at that.
He couldn't even get into the
Army, on account of a trick knee
suffered playing football at Temple
University, and aggravated on the
professional gridirons.
The preview which so impressed
the studio big-brains was Lady in
the Dark" in which Sullivan played
a psychiatrist If he played that
role successfully he must be good,
because the siX-foot two-inch Sui
livan looks as much like a ply
chiatrist as most any longshore-
man you ever saw.
That wasn't his only film role,
though. Last June some one in
Harry Sherman productions found
out Sullivan never had been on a
horse. so he was cast in the leading
role in The Gunmaster," in which
he appears as rip-roaring Texas
cowboy.
Any disillusionment Sullivan feels
about the movies is in reverse. He
played six or seven years in stock
and on the Broadway stage, and had
formed his opinions of the films
from the fulminations of disgrun-
tied movie people who had returned
to New York.
According to them, there was
nothing good in Hollywood, and the
film colony was composed exclusive
