him everything that was wrong.
Serlin listed his complaints and,
after each one, wrote, "Who in h

keeps the letter for laughs whenever
he's discouraged.
Like any good]ooking young fel-
low, he has his heart interests. He
was interested in Ann Baxter for a
time until John Kodiak took over;
his present enthusiasm is over a
nonprofeSsional who, he says, doesn't
even want to be an actress. Other
wise, he won't talk about her.
His first professional break came
in a role with Ruth Chatterton in
stock; at his tryout, he says, he read
badly and was so confused he bowed
himself out saying, Thanks very
much; I've been delightful" It
amused Ruth so much she gave him
try in the role.

Paramount decided that Pianist
Miss Loehr should go back to her
piano playing-off the lot. They
were casting for the Ginger Rogers
picture, The Major and the Minor
and needed a 10-year-old girl fol
the young menace role. Casting Di-
rector Bob Mayo introduced Diana
to Producer Arthur Hornblow and
deducted four years from her real
age. She landed the part, and al
most took the picture from the ex-
perienced Miss Rogers.
Diana Is a natural brunette and
makes no secret of blonding her
hair. She weighs 119 pounds, is s
feet 5h inches tall, "and until two
years ago I had ravenous appe-
tite." She lives with her mother
and father, and cannot cook. "And
I don't like athletics very much
she offers. She recently bought a
car, land 1t will be a wonderful
moment when can drive 1t into the
studio" She is saving up "for q

as it is suitable for me to wear it,
Until then she is making do with q

Lady Says Yes
IA Musical of
Varied Tone
By laurence Perry.
NEW YORK

NEW YOHh-
"A Lady Says Yes" the new Shu-
bert musical at the Broadhurst, has
its good and not so good moments.
/ regret to report that its better in
terludes do not occur when Carole
Landis-it is her first experience in
the legitimate theater-is on the
stage acting, or singing. But when
she is quiescent, merely on view, the
stage, whatever its scenic embellish-
ment, is made more glamorous by
her iridescent loveliness. More than
this I decline to say-other than to
suggest that probably the screen Is
the better medium for expression
Of her dramatic art.
The story was done by Clayton
Ashley, under which DR.. Maxwell
Maltz hides his identity. DR.. Maltz
is by profession a plastic surgeon,
hence, quite logically the tale he
tells has to do with a naval lieu
tenant who is having his nose re-
built. While the patient is under the
knife, also under ether, he is trans
ASAASA W VAC SoioSh dSC va fCAANC,
thence to the China of several CEN
turies ago.
Upon entering the hospital, he is
engaged to a Boston girl named
Isabella martha King, but he falls
in love with the trained nurse,
Ghisella (Carole Landis). The two
girls are translated with him into
foreign climes and continue to COM
pete for his love. But why go on
with plot which needs more than
plastic surgery?
Arthur Maxwell, the translated
naval lieutenant, has fine presence
and makes love both in singing and
talking with pleasing baritone
voice
Amiable and at times highly hilari-
GUS, junctures come when that in
| imitable little comedienne, Sue
Ryan, is on the stage and in COM
mand, aided and abetted by a re-
cruit from burlesque, Bobby Morris.
A sad moment comes when the pair
suddenly remind each other that
the plot must go on, and thereupon
they disappear from view.
4 In sum, "A Lady Says Yes is just
another musical which you can take
or leave except you can't leave
Carole Lands; you just have to
keep looking at her.

Success Is Easy for Bill Eythe
BY Rosalind Shafer

HOLLY WOOD.
Bill Eythe is young fellow, by
the calendar, but he speaks with
such sense of sureness and expe-
rience that it's easy to get the i'm
preston he's older than his 26 years.
He's come forward rapidly since
his first stage role of Importance in
THE Moon Is Down" as the young.
neurotic Nazi lieutenant. That play
brought him fame on Broadway and
also two ruptured ear drums when
he was slapped too hard by an excit-
ed and nervous fellow actor. That's
why he isn't wearing khaki or navy
blue
Eythe is tall, feet II; well built
weighs ITO pounds. His brown eyes
are intense. He has heavy dark
brown hair and he's handsome in a
boyish, vivid way.
Though new here, he turned down
roles-notably in THE Immortal
Sergeant"-because he feared he'd
be typed as a weakling, the role he
played in THE Ok Bow Incident.
He likes the colorful things in life
and would try anything, he says,
for fun or adventure, if it wasn't t
illegal.
He's a marked individualist. He
lives alone, in a house at the end of
a long lane in the hills. Hawks
come to roost on his balcony and he
gets fun out of trying to garden the
hillside below his living room.
Bills not vain, though he looks
terrific in those military uniforms.
He's been in costume roles of one
sort or another, mostly uniforms,
ever since coming to Hollywood. His
agent corrected the usual Eythe
careless dressing in sports coats and
nonmatching trousers by having him
buy $4,000 wardrobe.
