NEW BRIDGES FOR SAN ERHNCISCA

0EAAN AAVIAANOA0SO
 Well, San Francisco, already known as the city of the bridges, is planning to build another one. They need it, too, because the traffic on the others is getting heavy. In fact, it's gotten SO bad that some of the motorists are even pumping into each other accidentally. The new bridge is going to be one of the largest spans in the world. In fact, the architects have been studying mine all day for ideas.
 And they have made a lot of progress. The Mayor has already thought up very appropriate idea for the openings they're going to launch the project by cracking a used windshield over a pedestrian.
 At first they ware afraid they wouldn't be able to get enougl metal for the job. But then every thing worked out all right Los Angeles made a deal to sell hem all it's leftover lenders. It isn't that San Francisco really needs all those bridges for com- muting purposes it's just that when the weather gets thick they want to be sure that San Francisco is securely tied to the mainland to keep it from floatin, out with the tide.

happy it makes us to discover something that the size of our pay checks usually conceals. We mean the fact that you have a heart.
 Here's gossip:
 Speaking fo old-timers, a veteran who's not so old and still is plenty capable of big things, is back in Hollywood from the stage looking for movie deals. We mean Glenda Farrell :. Add new towsomes: Di- rector Fred de Cordova and Ann Southern .... Looks like the Mon- terey Penninisula is to be Holly woods new resort Mecca; Greer Carson, Clark Gable and Jean Arthur have all bought homes there during the past month .. There's reason why Eddie Cantor selected Nov. IS as the starting day for his forthcoming production, Rich Man, Poor Man" It will be the 38th an- niversary of his stage debut, made in burlesque titled Indian Maidens." He played four parts for total of $15 week in that show, he's doing better now.
 Boss, we've been checking the office mail and it's amazing how many radio fans are writing to ex- press indignation because of Bing Crosby's decision to "can" his pro- grams in advance .. When Gabby Hayes returns from his current pa. tour, he'll find a brand new picket fence around his Palm Springs home. It's a gift from Randolph Scott ... There's a letter in this ayem's mail from a Portland, Ore gon, lady who reports that Mayo Methot, the ex-Mrs. Humphrey Be- gart, is still very much in retirement there and says she'll never return to Hollywood .. If you know any, one who looks like "Leamy" in the Joe Palooka comic strip, pass the information to Monogram; he can get test there.
 Boss, that wire from tennis cham pion Alice Marble, commenting your campaign for cleaner pictures, should make you happy. It's good to know that sports world figures, as well as theatre-goers, are back ing you. And by the way, don't you think Miss Marbles autobiography ''The Road To Wimbledon" would make an inspirational movie? .
 The new wardrobe Kathryn Gray son was selecting in one of our bet ter stores the other day looked sus- piciously like trousseau . Now it's Barbara Stanwyck who's trying to make deal for one made-in- England picture a year .... Joan Crawford's new Warner Brothers deal (still unsigned will pay her $250, GOO picture, exactly twice her present wage! ~ If you haven't tried the new game, Hollywood Spin," give it whirl. It's top-notch | fun.
 The real reason why Samuel Glodwyn objects to David Niven writing a Hollywood column for a London newspaper is his fear that

to a golden blonde, hut the reason for the radical change was not a matter of vanity, but solely to give realism to the part which she plays in the title role of Stella Dallas" now at the Strand Theater.
 It was suggested she wear a wig for this particular, role, but she de- clined very definitely and her req sons indicate it was not merely a whim.
 T couldn't do anything with my hands, like running them through my hair. Furthermore, wig for this particular, role, would be set and pretty, which isn't this girl. In her home her hair was neglected, unkempt, and that just can't be done realistically except with ones own hair So I just had to let mine be bleached and after the pictures over I'll go through the tiresome process of turning natural again."

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 23- DEAR STAFF: Each week one half of one percent of all movie salaries paid in Hollywood is set aside for the Motion Picture Relief Fund. The money so derived is used, for the most part, to provide food and housing and sickness benefits for studio workers no longer able to hold paying jobs. No one in the in- dustry begrudges contributions to SC worthy and so well administered a charity.
 It seems strange, however, that a Hollywood which has heart enough to take such excellent care of its unemployables, has little or no heart in dealing with the hundreds oi old-timers who still want to work and are perfectly able to do so. Off- hand, could name you more than a score of actors and actresses prominent a quarter of a century ago, who are trying desperately tc earn livlihoods today as extras-and failing in the battle.
 Instead of finding helping hands they find, in the studio casting and production offices, unSympathetic newcomers who pose the unfriendly questions: You had your day-why didn't you save your money? Why aren't you satisfied to retire now and give younger people a chance?'
 Questions like those are easy tc ask-and even easier to answer Many of the old-timers I'm talking about had their hey-deys when ever the biggest stars were lucky to pull down salaries of couple of hun dred dollars a week, and luckiel still if they didn't have to spend most of their earnings on wardrobe and necessities that are provided today, by the studios.
 If you staff members agree with me that these former stars deserve at the hands of the industry they helped to build, at least a preferred place on the extra roster, you car help their case by talking with every director and every producer yor meet in their behalf. They're vet erans" too-and they rate every break they can be given.

other British papers will turn thumbs down on all Niven publicity .... Boss, there's one old-timer you won't need to worry about. She's Ann Cornwall, ex-comedy star, who now specializes in of stage screams for murder mellers. She works plenty-at $50 a scream.
