Brian Aherna

tor the young English actor to | Play a featured I role in a talkie version of “Peter Ibbetson." This is the first news that Paramount contemplates a remake of the romantic classic, and is the sole hint of Aherne’s future activities after he finishes the Marlene bietrich picture, ‘‘The Song of Songs.” This actor,

who created a sensation when he played opposite Katharine Cornell in “The Barretts of Wimpole Street,” is decidedly the most retiring matinee idol who ever came to Hollywood. He shuns interviews, he refuses to be drawn out about himself. He lives in a house alone; in fact, aside from a few appearances with Marlene Dietrich, he has scarcely made himself visible on the cinema horizon. Officially, Paramount isn’t ready to say anything about “Peter Ibbetson." Years ago they made a silent version, starring Wallie Reid and called “Forever After.” On the stage, of course, John Barrymore was the star. How many, I wonder, could name the author of “Peter Ibbetson”—l mean his full name: It was George Louie Palmella Busson du Maurier. Best of the bank holiday gags tomes fiom Jim Mitchell, Hollywood reporter for a local newspaper. Says he: “I’ve been doing without money all my life; they’re only making it I official now.” — HOLLYWOOD PARADE. One of the many lighter moments in the current cash shortage came when the suave Lionel Atwill had to borrow $l5O from his Scotch servant. . . .

Out at Jean Hersholt’s house the other evening a group of us were discussing the fascination of the newspaper business—why so few ever get away from it. Oddly enough, it was an actor and not a newspaperman, who offered the best explanation. “Some years ago,” said Lawrence Grant, “a Boston editor answered that for me. He said: ‘lt is because we touch things only at their dramatic moments.’ ” The illness of three principal!

PLANES BANNED IN U. S.

Kelley regional forester, has decreed. In the South Fork, Spanish Peaks ■Absaroka and Mission ~Mountain '“primitive areas” no roads pec:etrate vast forests and precipitious mountains. Tie districts were set aside to preserve wide expanses of virgin territory. Few if any persons either live or visit these districts ithere are no service stations, advertising signs, hot dog sta ds, or 'summer homes. Emergency landing fields leave been built in the areas to provide means of rapid fire control, after the department decided against building ro d into the distric ts even for this purpose.
