By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1937, King Features Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD—Kankakee, DI., I must be a progressive little town. I Seventy-five of its matrons have started something new, a "Name Your Baby After a Star” club. ' Bette Davis was just notified that the first baby born under the club rales is called, in her honor, Bette Westman. Mother of the child, according to the letter, is Mrs. David G. Westman. Bette was asked to write her namesake a birthday letter every year, which she intends to do. She also is sending some monogrammed garments. Hear that Director Sidney LanI field, a great ribber, is trying to dig up embarrassing incidents from Bernie’s and Winchell’s pasts to put into the script of "Love and Hisses”. Alice Faye has been touring the ! late spots with her hairdresser, her stand-in and her wardrobe girl, i She heard them say they had never been to the Trocadero and some of the more expensive places, so she has put in three nights showing them the town. They I haven’t missed a spot. The Warren Hymers are back j together again. Their quarrels and reunions very nearly set a I Hollywood record. — Answering Your Questions! A. Tonelli, Burbank: Yes, Eddie Polo is back in town. He is working for De Mille in "The Buccaneer” and talks of more serials. But he'll probably have to take off a few pounds first. I i Now it’s swing music that is responsible for short skirts. Adrian, of M. a M., argues plausibly that women couldn't execute the new dances with hemlines that touched the floor, sc fashion is moulding itself to rhythm.
