from the best part of one panel
of a discarded chintz drapery
But any gaily colored cast-off,
such as an old dressing table

be dipped in a coloring rinse,
will fill the bill if it yields

Dennis OKeefe, one of the few
Hollywood extras to become star,
complained today that he had nev-
er seen so many scene stealers. II
| don't think anyone in Hollywood
history has had so much competi-
tion," he moaned.
Dennis is Eleanor Powell's CO.
star in a new movie titled "Sensa-
tions of 1914" The biggest sensa-
ton in the picture" sighed Dennis,
will be if anyone notices me-"
We thought Dennis had a right
to moan. Even grounds for legal
action.
In Hollywood, stars scream, go
on shutdown strikes and even wind
up in Cedars of Lebanon hospital
with nervous breakdowns if they
are asked to work with babies or
animals.
There are no babies in "Sensa-
tions of 1914" But there are more
animals than people. zone way to

Dennis, you see, operates a cir
Gus restaurant. The acts include
a 600pound Siberian grizzly bear,
tigers, lions, black panther, some
zebraS, wire walker, a dancing
horse, line OF chorus girls and
w. c. Fields.
We agreed with Dennis that he
had some pretty stiff competition.
Why" he said lin one scene

a room and sitting on a chair IS

1t looked like Dennis could use
sedative. Or stiff drink.
BRIEF BIOG
Seriously though Dennis said he
was having lot of fun. Even if
the 600-pound bear is such smart
scene stealer that everyone on the
set claims it took the bear three
years to teach Trainer Ernie Pal
lenberg, Jr, the tricks.
Dennis said he calls the bear
Jack He shoves you around in
a scene just like Jack Oakie."
Dennis O'Keefe, who made good
in Hollywood the hard way,
doesn't hesitate to give full credit
for his success where credit is due.
Except for the grace of God
and Director Jack Conway" he
says, Il might still be struggling
along as an extra
He had been working as an ex-
ira for five years when Conway
singled him out of the mob for a
bit in Jean Harlow's last picture,
Saratoga" He gave such a good
performance that within tw o
months he was playing the ro-
mantle lead in "Badman of Brim-
stone" Since then he's forged
steadily ahead
Extra work is very discour-
aging occupation" he says. THE
odds are so much against your
ever making good and getting a
break it kills your ambition and
all your hopes"
FAMOUS FAMILY
Until he received that break,
O'Keefe kept plugging only by an
inherent love for the theater, in
which he had been raised. His IA
ther was a headline comedian of
the famous "Off and On Flanagan
and Edwards team. His mother
Charlotte Ravenscroft, was a
vaudeville singer. O'Keefe's real
