By HARRISON CARROLL Copy right, 1935, King Features Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD—WeII, were still talking about Leslie Howard’s remarks on Hollywood polo. The actor drops us a note to say he thoroughly agrees with Erik Rhodes that the game takes courage, but, he submits, “not the kind of

|e O Leslie Howard

courage that disregards the lives and limbs of others.” As for “bridle path manner s”, he says he wouldn't know because he doesn’t frequent bridle paths. “But some kind of manners,” he adds, “cannot be amiss even on the polo field.”

The actor explains that all he really meant to say in the first place was that most accidents to beginners are due to unsound or green mounts and to recklessness on the part of the players. Polo, he agrees, Is the greatest of all sports and California the ideal setting for it. Also that more has been done here than anywhere else to open up the game to the average man. ‘‘The principal credit for this,’’ suggests Howard, “is due to Mr. Bnowy Baker, a great sportsman, whose motto is: ’Gentlemen, the game's the thing’!” And. unless Mr. Howard wants some space here to answer “Big Boy’’ Williams, we’d like to leave It at that. A story to make the flesh crawl! Bill Cody, the western star, was doing a picture the other day called “Lawless Border". A scene called for the hero to be tied down while red ants slowly covered his face. It wasn’t quite as bad as it sound", for the stingers of the ants were to be removed first. Cody volunteered to go with It himself, so they coated his face with honey and turned the ants loose. A minute later, Cody received a vicious sting, then another and another. Displaying Spartan brand of courage, the star stuck it out until the cameras stopped turning. The left side of his face apd neck immediately began to swell. The two or three ants which had escaped treatment poisoned the actor so badly he had to go to the hospital for two days. After gaining six pounds In as many weeks, Patricia Ellis has received a warning from Warner Brothers to put on no more weight. The starlet, who loves sweets and pastries, must now eat only nonfattening foods at lunch. And, to sec that she does it, the studio has appointed a diet watcher to sit with her every day. No fooling! The girl, a fellow actress, is named Dale Jensen. Luise Rainer Is the kind of actress that press agents dream of A

Gustav von Seyffertitz, probably has the longest name of any well-known Hollywood player, but Josephine Hutchinson and Olivia de Havilland give the marquee artists something to groan about.
