By HARRISON CARROLL “•« Feature* Syndicate. Ina. HOLLYWOOD — Looks as if Warners may be going to take advantage of the

publicity linking Wayne Morris with Lana Turner. Anyway, she is going to test there for a picture in which she would play Morris’ wife. If you can believe the 17-year-old actress, there is no romance between the two, now-

Hr 1 J Wayne Morris

ever. She says they were quite serious at first, but broke up a month ago. About the time there xas all the talk of Morris rushing Alice F«.ye. On the other hand, it was certainly Morris’ card on the huge bouquet of flowers that were delivered to Lana the other day on the "Marco Polo” set Whitney Bourne goes for those shoes in which the toes stick out at the end. In the crush at the Hollywood Bowl the other night, she ripped the strap off one and had to mince down to her car in her stocking feet, carrying her shoes in her hand. The crowd was so amused and she was so embarrassed. Lyda P.olxrti is cabling frantically to get in touch with her parents whe are in the French concession at Shanghai. She has a Hollywood attorney trying to establish contact, but so far no luck. The blonde star wanted to bring her father and mother to the United States last year, but they demurred. Two sisters and a brother are already in this country. Last word in elegance is the stairway in the home of Dolores Del Rio and Cedric Gibbons. The steps are of milky glass and, if you press an electric switch at the bottom of the flight, they become faintly illuminated—lighting the wanderer to bed. Answering Your Questions! Burton K„ Alhambra: Lee Moran, the comedian, was still on the

of Mrs. George Jaqua of Winchester Wednesday. Mrs. Henry Heller, Eighth District president, presided with the assistance of the following state .ff leers: Mrs. Edwin I. Poeton of Martinsville, president. Mrs. ; George Jaqua of Winchester, first i vice-president and Mrs. George Del-1 linger of French Dick, second vicepresident.

Th name of Mrs. George Jaqua! was indorsed by the Eighth District' .the presidency in 1939. The' theme for this year will be “The 1 Road Ahead," The chosen project will be to sponsor an active interest i and promotion of the program ! adopted by the state department of pub'ic welfare. Mrs. Alvin Hudgel of Yorkt. wn. state chairman, presented these plans. Th.- (g|ith district staled that they were purchasing and present-1 ing a worth while book to the Library of the General Federation of clubs in Washington D. C.

The first five were fired because they couldn’t play chess well enough to giv«,John. competition. The sixth, hired since the star began work on "City Hall Scandal”, just went the way of the rest—but in his case, they say on the set, it was because he beat Barrymore. Dogs are terrifically popular lu Hollywood. Nearly every stir is attached to one or two. Constance Bennett, however, even more so than the rest. She is so crazy about her cocker, Sandy, that it | will be sent to New York to greet her when she returns from-Europe. — Chatter. . . . Someone is ribbing Dorothy Peterson by having Los Angeles stores send her a series of C. O. D. packages. It started'with kitchen utensils. Then it was men’s underwear. . . . Bergen has formed a "Charlie McCarthy" corporation in New York (yeah,* we knew you’d think of it—a "dummy” corporation). But it’s perfectly legal and is designed to help protect the copyright on Charley's name and likeness. . . . Janet Gaynor and Tyrone Power have been twoing it again at the Hawaiian Paradise.... Incidentally, George Mason, one of the owners of this spot and the fiance of Paula Stone, was once a Hollywood actor, playing roies in the "Collegians"

series, in “Hit 1 the Deck” and ) in “Rio Rita”. I ...Is John 1 ’ Cromwell the ; director, spendi ing his vacation i as an actor at the Barter thea- : ter in Abington. Va. ? There’s a John Cromwell supposed to appear there this .nonth in “Petrified Forest” and
