plays the haughty butler, foil to I Frank. There is real drama in this. For, in the original Broadway production, Murray played Morgan's part. He had ail the answers then. Now he is the foil. Such is show business. We find Gloria Stuart and lee TYacy working in “General Delivery” at R-K-O. It is a saga of the postal inspectors, government operatives like the G-men, but overshadowed by the publicity given to the latter. Gloria and Lee are sitting on a lounge in a hotel lobby. It is the second day of the picture and the players have not yet gotten into the swing of it. Director Eddie Killy, is trying to pep things up. “Come on,” he urges, “it'll 10:15 and not a dish washed yet” Film celebrities are just like the people who crowd around the monkey cages at the zoo. On the “Jungle Princess” set at ygramount, they all gather around to watch the off-screen antics of ' Jiggs, the trained chimpanzee. As a matter of fact, Jiggs draws a bigger salary than a number of players in the picture. He brings S3OO a week to Tony Gentry, his master, and earns bigger money than that for some films. When we visit the set, he is lying on the floor beside Gentry’s chair, with his hind feet doubled up to his chin. But he proves an amiable performer. At a word from Gentry, he gets into a chair and gives imitations of Joe E. Brown, Maurice Chevalier and Pop Eye of the comic strips. Eight and one half years old, ! Jiggs weighs 107 pounds and will more than double this weight by I the time he is 16. Chimps like this cost about $1,200 when young and, Jiggs is now worth $30,000, his master declares. The monk is temperamental in only one respect. He won’t work unless a collie dog named Spanky is close by. There is a certain dignity tn their relationship. If Jiggs gets too boisterous, the dog growls warningly and the chimpanzee promptly subsides. Some day soon, a new problem will arise. Spanky is expecting a blessed event, and Gentry doesn t know what will happen when the nuppies arrive. He only hopes that Jiggs will i understand.
