hw in Hollywood

By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. ISSo, King Eeaturet Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD —As a token of his admiration, a fan wants to send Claudette Colbert a brick from the Great Wall ot China to build Into her house. It seems that the film goers ot the country have heartily taken up the idea ot the star’s Hollywood pals who recently gave her a party where each brought a bit of building material. In the last couple ot months.

Claudette Colbert

Claudette has -eeeived 40 bricks from various parts of the ■ountry. As they were ot various Shapes, sizes and colors, the star had to figure out an unusual way to use them. She has it at I last. A panel will be reserved In the patio for the handprints of her friends. And

bordering the panel will be the bricks which have come as presents from fans. The star wrote a letter declining ithe one from the Great Wall of China. Its sentimental value to Its owner, she suggested, would far outweigh any use she might have for It. Gossip circles buzz with rumors why Fred Ferry slipped out of Hollywood without signing the expected contract with R-K-O. The star was all set to become an actor, and without loss of his amateur standing, because he would have played no tennis In pictures. But something happened to change his mind. Was It the breaking of his engagement and the things his actress fiancee said? Or was it some communication front the British Lawn Tennis association? Hollywood wonders. First in the race to reach the screen with a department of justice p < ure. Warner Brothers have, in '■G Men", a thriller that will be hard to top. The film was previewed at the studio for the Hollywood correspondents and it is an undoubted winner. Besides being powerful propaganda for the government men and their war on crime, It packs a real wallop as melodrama Cagney Is a young New York lawyer who becomes a “G man" to avenge the slaying of a friend. He plays the role splendidly and amidst fast competition. The picture contains a lot of recent history, thinly disguised. The Kansas City massacre is there, also pilhp-

gtr’a escape from the trap In the Wisconsin woods. For sheer excitement, the film Is hard to surpass. Watch it go at the box offices. The Swedish ship. Annie Johnson, was the scene of a dramatic reunion at Los Angeles harbor. Tutta Rolf # of Stockholm, hut now a Fox film player, gave a dinner to the crew which once rescued her from death in an ocean storm. It happened five years ago. The actress, a passenger on the Annie Johnson, was washed overboard by a giant wave. By a freak of chance, the next wave washed her back towards the ship and the crew was able to reach her with a lifeline. For their heroism, each one of the rescuers received a Carnegie medal, and the Swedish government awarded a plaque commemorating the event. It now’ hangs in the olticers’ dining room. What British actress, on her way to Hollywood, got cleaned out in a shipboard dice game and had to appeal to the studio to wire her funds to land in New York? HOLLYWOOD TICKER-TAPE— Jean Muir’s real interest, they say, is George Walcott, who toured with ”A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. . . .

Two bills drafted, by Horner, were introduced is the legislature, providing for an increase in the state sales tax from two to three per cent and extending the levy to private utilities. The measures were up lor second reading in the house today, having passed in the senate. A bitter fight was certain on final passage, however, inasmuch as a twothirds vote is required. The 84 Democratic representatives are divided and the administration needed 25 Republican votes to push across an emergency rider. Two weeks ago the Horner forces were unable to muster a two-thirds majority on the same bills. o Methodist Church Selects Officers At t’le meeting of the Sunday school board of the Methodist Church held in the church parlors Sunday afternoon the following officers and teachers were elected
