By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1936, King Features Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD—Odds in the film colony are now two to one that Lucille Ball and

Lucille Ball

Broderick Crawford will not be married. He is in New York, and, while the pair still protest affection, the match - makers are cooling off on this romance. Especially, as he plans to be away for many months.

At this writ- ! Ing, it doesn’t appear, either, that Lucille will be able to accept those 1 Broadway offers for the fall. She j was supposed to go back in August, but R-K-O Is now making a I series of color tests of its blonde I discovery. If they are successful, rumor says a loan to another ’ studio is in the offing. Fred Mac Murray is a lad who doesn’t forget. When he was ; down on his luck in Hollywood, the California Collegians took him on as a saxophone tooter. It was while he was appearing with the ; band in ’’Roberta” that Paramount j scouts nailed him for the movies. Now, Mac Murray has persuaded the studio to hire the Collegians | for ‘‘Champagne Waltz". They were on tour when the wire came, but took the first train back. With a five-day layoff from the camera in “Valiant is the Word for Carrie”, Gladys George must spend the time in bed, eating as many meals a day as possible in an effort to put on 10 pounds for the latter i sequences of the picture. In these, she is to appear as an older I woman. Padding the actress’ figure is no trick for the wardrobe department, but real added flesh is needed for the face and arms. You Asked Me and I’m Telling You! Selma White, Glendale: No matter how they looked when you i saw them out together, Toby Wing i and Tom Brown are not altar--1 bound—at least not in the near future. Toby wears a wrist watch and a slave bracelet, birthday gifts from Tom, but it’s just boy and girl stuff. In case you have an afternoon off, you might try Barbara Stan-

It is being equipped as the largest tuna clipper in the trade and will sail for strictly tuua trade purposes within a few weeks. 0 Trade In a Good Town — Decatur

wyck’s and Robert Taylor’s recipe for buying a dog. Each of the two stars wanted a dachshund, so they went to a kennel, asked the owner to turn all his 24 specimens loose in the room with them, and waited |to be adopted. It must have i worked for Taylor bought a black pooch, which he named Pretzel, and Barbara settled upon a red-dish-hued one, which she christened Lady. The anti-tan edict is hitting masculine stars as well as the girls. Clark Gable has been instructed to lighten his complexion several shades for "Parnell", Robert Taylor has received slmiliar Instructions for "Camille’’ and, over at Paramount, Fred' MacMurray must also lose that Hawaiian tan for "Champagne Waltz”.
