By HARRISON CARROLL. Copyright. 1931. Premier Syndicate. Ido. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 00.— Two gallant clipper ships, survivors of a hundred storms, have begun a journey to Mexican waters, where submarines will torpedo them for a new talkie thrill. Where once they carried bolts I of silk from Canton to Boston, the ' Bohemia and the Indiana now j house motion picture equipment and a crew of technicians who will | photograph their final plunge into ' the sea off the Coronados Islands. : Later, the scene will be flashed ' onto the screens of the world in the RKO-Pathe film, “The Suicide | Fleet.” • Six destroyers and four sub- i marines of the United States Navy will participate in this battle, which will be photographed from the air,

from the decks of the warships and from beneath the sea. Some years ago. the Bohemia and the Indiana became the property of Cecil B. De Mille. He bought them in a ships’ g rave y ar<l in the East, and had them sailed around the Horn to use in “The Yankee

Clipper.” The cost of the voyage was five times as much as the purchase price of the vessels. After the picture was made, the boats again were tied up to rot. In taking over the De Milie studio, Pathe inherited them. Until now they had been looked upon as awkward assets. Oddly enough, William Boyd, who starred in “The Yankee Clipper,” also will star in “The Suicide Fleet.” AND GETTING MORE SO EVERY DAY. Take it from Max Steiner, musical director at RKO, Hollywood is a land of optional illusions. LATEST GOSSIP. Lawrence Tibbett informs this department that Lupe Velez is teaching him to sing “The Peanut Vender.” A great educator Lupe. Incidentally, Tibbett plans to leave October 1 on a concert tour, and will go into the Metropolitan Opera Company in January. If M.-G.-M. takes up his option (his own modest way of putting it) he will return here next Summer for another picture.. .Ann Harding

I HE DREW THE WRONG CONCLUSION. It was one of those natural mistakes. Laurence O’Sullivan, out here for Fox, was miffed when his hotel refused to give him meat for his dog. Walking up the boulevard, he ran into bis old friend, Joe Berliner, at Henry’s. “Say, Joe,” lie said, “will you give me some meat for my dog? My hotel turned me down.” Joe was willing to oblige. Presently he returned with some meat wrapped in a newspaper. As he offered it to O’Sullivan, he leaned over and whispered: “Have you got a knife and fork?” NO REST FOR JIMMIE. officials are beginning to wonder where Jimmie Durante has been all their lives.
