article like the following. Sam Sax has interviewed more than 200 of HolIywood's most beautiful girls in his effort to find a super beauty for the title role of his forthcoming picture, "Fatima." How Can you feel sorry for man who makes a fortune doing work like that?
 Speaking of producers dilemmas, give sigh for Jules Levy. He has ready for release. a deluxe "open air drama" that is based on an Ernest Taycox novel entitled Trail Town" MT. Levy, reacting as any movie maker might, decided that such title would brand his western pie ture as a western, so he changed it to Abilene" But as time wore on, he began to worry. Abilene" might not be a good box-off1ce title. A few weeks ago, he sent out Ques- tionnaire addressed to all of the United Artists theater managers. Which title did they prefer, he ask ed, Abilene" or Trail Town?" All the answers are now in-and the re- suits have poor MT. Levy in a state bordering on a complete breakdown. Each title received exactly the same number of votes! Don't laugh. Things like this are very, very seri- ous in Hollywood.
 Lauren Bacall is another Holly woodite who's being robbed of the appropriate amount of sympathy this week. Laurens lost her dog, cocker spaniel named "Droopy." But do her friends react as friends should in such circumstances? Do they say How awful?" They do no. Unfeelingly, they all make smart cracks at Baby" Whats the matter with 'BogeyP'" they de- mand, Has he forgotten how to whistler"
 Some weeks ago, I ran across a story about the fabulous fee paid to concert pianist Artur Rubenstein for three weeks work in the Repub- lie picture, Concerto" Rubenstein | ACSCAVCA poo,UUV, o1AN tLAc oUOIy COl- tnded that was the highest wage ever paid to musician. I put the yarn asidefi intending to comment on it, but shucks, it's already out dated. This morning I learned that Spike Jones is getting $25, 900 for only four days work in a picture entitled Breakfast in Hollywood. |" Simple mathematics prove that Rubenstein, with daily average of $4,000 is just piker compared to Jones, who nicked his employers for better than $6,000 every "A hours. The moral? I don't know, unless it's proof that kid who re- sents piano lessons should be en- couraged to play with washboards.
