By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1937 King Features Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD—One of Hollywood’s most devout superstitions is the lucky num-

ber. Lily Pons’ preference for 13 is well known and Sidney Blackmer tells me it also is a good omen for him. Blackmer was born o n July 13 in North Carolina, which was one of the 13 original states. The number has

popped up many times in the actor’s life. He joined the army during the World war on Nov. 13 and his first Broadway appearance also was on Nov. 13. One of his biggest stage hits was in “The Thirteenth Chair” and his Twentieth Century-Fox contract was signed May 13. Now, he is getting a leave of absence to return to the footlights in the play, “A Truce With Tomorrow”, which is scheduled to open Dec. 13. Mae West, of course, likes any combination that adds up to eight. The license number of her car is 5W3 and her apartment number is 116. All the papers noted that Hymie Miller, the case man and movie bit player, just shot to death here, was working in a film called “A Slight Case of Murder”. But it’s a further coincidence that Miller was supposed to be rubbed out in the i Alm. Incidentally, since the murder, half the extras on the set are now able to recall that Miller looked morose and worried for several days prior to the killing. Mireille Balin, red-headed French actress, arrived here the other day to join M. G. M.’s foreign contingent, and was taken directly from the train to lunch at the Brown Derby. For her first meal in Hollywood, she downed two cocktails, a large bowl of soup with rolls broken up in it, a salad, a full order of spaghetti, an order of hashbrowned potatoes, a cup of coffee and two bananas. Her escort, M. G. M. Casting Director Billy Grady, almost fainted but Mlle. Balin pointed to her trim 113 pounds and announced that she never had to diet. The French actress lost no time in making good connections. She

The Women of the Moose will have their regular meeting Thursday evening ut seven-thirty o’clock. •Business of Importance will be discussed. Final arrangements will be n.ude for the annual Christmas party, to be held at the home of Mrs. Robert August.

(U.R) Paul Menaul, Jr., 17, picked a poor target to use in practicing with his air rifle. The high school student ■ levelled his rifle at a .45 caliber' pistol cartridge a few feet away and pulled the trigger. His marksmanship was perfect, and the result was a wounded hand. o Convict Labor Profitable ; Johannesburg (U.R) —The South I African government is making ; (5,000 a month by hiring out native , convict labor, for which there is ' a great demand. The average | monthly admission to the prisons : is 5,000, but the demand for penal I labor is greater than the supply. Old Epitaph in Rime Ilion, N. Y. — <U.R) — This epitaph was found on a tombstone in a cen- ! tury-old abandoned cemetery which , was uncovered here: "Death is a debt to nature due; I've paid my debt and so must you.” The grave-’ j stone was dated 1795, in memory of a William Gorsline.

met Joseph M. Schenck on the train coming out and spent the week-end looking over Palm Springs under his guidance. t Remember an item here about , Alice Brady rescuing dogs from the pound and giving them to her film colony friends? Well, Tyrone Power took a police dog, gave it several months’ care and just sold ; it to an insistent bidder for S2OO. He’ll devote the money to rescuing more dogs from the pound. Hear that an automobile accident suffered by Marjorie Weaver may be more serious than was suspected. The southern actress, who is hailed as a white hope by Twentieth Century-Fox, got banged into on her way to the studio. Her car was wrecked but she apparently escaped with a couple of bumps on her head. By mid-day, however, her eyesight became affected (she could only see things that were directly in front of her) and they had to let her go home from the “Sally, Irene and Mary” set. Studio believes condition temporary but is worried. Eye-witnesses were just as undependable in the old days as now. The M. G. M. research department has found half a dozen versions of what King Louis XVI wore at his marriage. So, in “Marie Antoinette", you’ll see him in a costume that is a composite of the various accounts.

Landers of Indianapolis, delivers safety talks before various clubs throughout the state. She is a strong booster for Gov. Townsend’s campaign to cut down the number of deaths on Indiana highways.

Why not try a NATURAL laxative food—Kellogg's AllBran! If you have common constipation. All-Bran will keep you "regular" as the clock's tick. Instead of OVERSTIMULATING your intestines, it gives them two things they need. First, All-Bran supplies "bulk"—it absorbs water and softens like a sponge. This water-softened mass aids elimination. Second, it’s a good source of vitamin "B," —the amazing vitamin that tones I up your intestinal tract. Eat crunchy, toasted All-Bran with I milk or cream and fruits. In muffins it's delicious. But however you eat it, i use it REGULARLY: eat two tablespoons of All-Bran and drink plenty of water. If you do this every day you ! can avoid common constipation and ■ cathartics, too!
