I HI H.l — By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1935, King Features Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD—The Idea of "Keytton# Hotel” having caught on beyond :l» moet optimistic dreams. Ralph 1 aub now pla’ i to produce a series of two-reel .medy dramas for Warners, featuring other favorites of yesterday. These in addition to the slapstick series that are to follow "Keystone jjjSfijßjis nil.lv rerefitii.n W lives up to Indl- all cations. jfc Staub believes | Jpsii FI there ore thouSHiuls of motion & picture fans who Kj|g Mk would like to see # o I d-t 1m e stars "JEmA again. Such JL people as Charles WK&XSJKiSst&tStt'i Itay, Helen Chadwick. Irene Rich Charles Ray flf she can be persuaded away from the radio), Bryant Washburn, J. Warren Kerrigan. Herbert Rawllnson, Bobby Agnew. Ruth Stonehouse, Priscilla Dean, Helen Holmes and Viola Dana. If you readers have any other special favorites, let's hear about them. It might mean their chance to make a comeback on the screen. When Marlon Davies can be persuaded to give her Imitations, a gay party Is always assured. Hollywoodltes are still talking about the other evening when Marlon Imitated Marlene Dietrich. Mervyn Leroy made her up. using as his model Miss Dietrich herself, who was sitting across the dinner table. Marlon even gave an Impression of the German star singing "Falling In Love Again”. It was so good that Marlene applauded enthusiastically. The new Taul Muni picture. "Black Fury”, has Irked the communists. In two cities of the country, where the film Is now being shown, they are picketing and passing out hand-bills saying It Is unfair to the working man. As a matter of fact, the film ts stamped with the approval of William Green, head of the American Federation of Labor. A new game for you. Dolores Del Rio started It In the film colony and It Is an amusing test of how much you know about yoqr friends. Each person writes down five lilies and five dislikes. The unsigned slips are then

some special numbers for the occasion. The orchestra will be dressed in true Bowery fashion. Although prizes, appropriate to •the occasion will be given to the couple dressed in the truest Bowery fashion, no special costumes will be necessary. Sweaters, shirt sleeves, vest or sweat shirts would be the modern equivalent of the wearing apparel of the Bowery boys. Herbert Asbury in his book "The Gangs of New York” describes one of the original Bowery boys as "a burly ruffian with his chin adorned by an Uncle Sam whisker—the type of American which is still portrayed by the English comic weeklies. On his head was a stovepipe hat, generally battered, and his trousers were tucked inside his boots, while his jaws moved constantly on a chew of tobacco as he whittled on a shingle witli the huge knife which never left his possession.” Girls attending the dance may wear print dresses or sport costumes. Those who wish to dress in costume might ImitaTe Hell-Cat .Maggie, also described in the book as “she is said to have filed her front teeth to points, while on her fingers she wore long artificial nails, constructed of brass. When Hell-Cat Maggie screeched her battle cry and rushed, biting and clawing into the midst of a mass of | opposing gangsters, even the most stout-hearted blanched and fled.” Admission .to the dance will be 26 cents a person. Tickets may be obtajned at the door or from members of the club. PSI IOTA XI SORORITY INITIATES NEW MEMBERS Impressive pledge services were held by the Psi lota Xi sorority Tuesday afternoon in the flower garden at the Harry G. Young home for Mrs. Floyd Grandstaff and Miss Leona 7,wick.

Gable already has cut his off for M. G. M.’s "Mutiny on the Bounty" and Colman wilt wield the razor for "A Tale of Two Cities”. During hie recent etny on the desert, Colman grew a full beard, but didn’t have the nerve to wear it back to Hollywood.

Stunts “I dare yuh,” “Yer stumped,” were among the cries I heard upon stepping on to the school playground. Natural Iy, I t stopped, interested. Here was a group of small boys formed in a circle surrounding two of their number matched against each other j in a test of strength, ability, and wits. The large boys and the girls had their own groups j at other spots. It was the monthly “stunt test,” I learned. All was in order and run according to laws and a plan devised by the pupils themselves. A good lesson in citizenship, by the way. Children are sticklers about living up to their own rules. And they’re excellent law enforcers. It was interesting to check off in my mind each trait as I watched the contest. There was no quitting. *' Everyone had to “deliver the j goods.” If he tried but lost, all was 1 well. Perseverance. Quick thinki ing. Mental strategy in action. ' I Courage. Fair play. The loser’s hand extended to the winner. “This is real character building,” was ' my thought as I strolled away, satisfied. How to plan the “eats" for a pict trie—the thermos bottle of cool milk, sandwiches, custard, fruit — j will be discussed next week by Dr. r Ireland. s
