wood was meeting rebuff in its attempts to secure another child star for the screen. Dolores Costello, in the midst of a film comeback herself, turned dowm the third offer of a screen test for six-year-old John Blythe Barrymore, Jr. "I don’t think it’s fair for any child to decide his career for him,” declared the actress. “Later if he wants to become an actor, it’s all right with me.” Grace Moore is making emphatic denials of an item printed elsewhere that her picture, "The King Steps Out”, was barret! in Japan because she failed to bow before the royal box in her last appearance at Tokio. It couldn't be true, she says, because she has never been in Japan. It's odd how this story keeps cropping up about the star. Last year, about the same time, she was denying rumors that she offended King Gustav of Sweden by failing to bow before the royal box during a concert at Stockholm. On her first wedding anniversary (Sept. 27), Ann Sothem looked back on 24.000 miles of commuting between Hollywood and the towns where Roger Pryor was appearing with his orchestra. The star faces another year of the same thing. She won’t be able to see Pryor, even in this fashion, until Christmas. Chatter. . . .
