If so, you are the astrological twin of Lola Lane and she'd like to get in touch with you. Astrological twins are supposed to lead parallel lives. Don't know whether you believe in the science but a lot of people do and Warners are making a picture about it called "When Were You Born?" Consultant on the film is Manley P. Hall. He says that history records an instance of astrological twins in C-eorge 111 and an ironmonger named John Heming. That they later married on the same day, had the same number of children, of the same sex, and even died on the same day. We’ve heard of lots of reasons for moving, but Glenda Farrell tops them all. She is giving up her valley home because doctors say she is allergic to some plant in the vicinity and they haven’t been able to find out which one. In Glenda's case, it has resulted in a skin disorder. A friend quotes George Cukor as saying that Paulette Goddard's tests are good but that the role of Scarlett O'Hara still isn't set. . .
