studio ot a pair. So tar, tb< item amounts to SI,BOO. ; After all the talk about various ' stars reading hundreds of volumes 1 in preparation to play nistorica ' characters, Norma Shearer’s ad--1 mission seems refreshing anc ' sensible. She has read only ont ! book, she says, about Marie Antoi- • nette —Stefan Zweig’s biography oi 1 the French queen. It isn’t as il ■ she were lazy. But different I authors have different conceptions ' and she decided that too much research would be confusing. i The accidental death of Lige Conley (in an auto accident) drew only a few paragraphs here. Once it would have been a big story, in the old Sennett days. Conley played leads with Marie Prevost and Phyllis Haver. Fame had passed him by of late. He did. however, go out practically with his ooots on. For only a few minutes before the accident, he had finished a comedy scene with Fred Allen In “Sally, Irene and Mary”. Conley was 38. And an added note of tragedy. His widow was practically a bride. She and, the comedian were married Aug. 7. La Hepburn will now join the other stars who have gone In for fisticuffs, in recent pictures. In "Bringing Up Baby”, she is required to land a left hook on Walter Catlett's jaw. To make it look real, the star took instructions for a day and a half from Nate Slott, one of the assistants on the film, who used to be a fighter. Maybe this is a snicker. One of the reasons Gene Raymond wanted to leave R-K-O was because he objected to playing an orchestra leader In the Lily Pons picture. So he went to Paramount. And now his first picture there finds him playing a violinist in a group of musicians in a stage act. . . - Ethel Merman has turned down a $7,000 offer for Gershwin's original manu■P script of “Poigy » and Bess”. . • t'U- **“■ Nice g esture by SjjrfW Wayne Morris.
