Haden respectively play her cam paign manager and private secre- tary.
 The elegant Congresswomen calls on tough Eddie Ace for support of her nomination as candidate for the Governorship. Dynamically at tracted, they fall in love, but Eddie refuses his very necessary political support.
 Congresswoman Chase takes up the challenge in the teeth of al- most certain defeat. By a clever maneuver she forces a split in Aces own party, triumphs magnificently in the game of politics, but forfeits her trumps in the game of love. Unhappy and after some dehbera- tion she throws up her success and retires from the fight. How she Is induced to change her mind and run for Governor makes an interest ing story.
 Raft first rose to fame on the flip of acoin. In 1883 he tossed a nickel up and down in the palm of his hand in "Scarface," in which he played one of Paul Muni's hench- men. This bit of business" pushed him up from the ranks of the star gazers into those of the stars. Now he losses a nickel again while talk ing to a group of politicians who oppose him. It will be the same nickel, too. Raft has kept it as a good luck piece all time time. MT.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 3O-The other day one of Hollywood's biggest stu dios sent me booklet containing the biographies of all of it's con- tract players. Reading them, I be- came increasingly impressed by one fact. Without exception, those players who came to Hollywood without the benefit of headIined stage career owe their screen suc- cess to unpredictable, lucky breaks.
 It seems strange to me that an industry which has been "big busi- ness" for nearly 30 years has com- pletely failed, to date, to establish my intelligent system for culling and developing the new Talent" which is it's very life blood.
 only robs the studios themselves of many potential stars, who, through no dault of their own, fail to get the luck breaks; it also works hard ships on the thousands of eager youngsters who come to Hollywood every year hopig for fair trial. Many of them, who lack the basic qualities needed for a screen Suc- cess, finger on and on, putting their heads againsa stone wall and wasting time and effort that might be put to profitable use if only there were some way in which they could discover the exact uncompro- missing truth about their chances.
 was introduced, one day last week, to an ex-servicernan who wants to be movie actor. He looks like promising material, and he asked me how to go about getting a trial. It's ironic that neither I. nor anyone else in Hollywood, can give him definite, constructive advice.

"Tele- phone my house and tell the maid, who's in the kitchen, to bring a highban to me here in my bedroom.

Instead, she contented her. self with single question: Does he want bourbon or Scotch?"
 Speaking of the complexities of Hollywood life, I'm reminded of an item gleaned yesterday at RKO, where the Godfrey Homes novel, Build My Gallows High" is cur rently before the cameras. Some days ago the company's production manager called Homes. T just wanted to give you some good news" said he. After looking all over California, we've finally found the perfect location for the pictures outdoor sequences. We've picked Bridgeport, up in the High Sierras, as the town - and found spot on the West Walker River near there that's absolutely perfect for the big figh tScenes" Under the cir cumstances author Homes should be permitted a chuckle His book definitely identifies Bridgeport, Cal ifornia, and the West Walker River, as the story's locale!
