By HARRISON C ARROLL Copyright, 1938 King Features Syndicate, ine. HOLLYWOOD —Writer friends of the late Austin Parker are going through his 170 published works and will try to sell some of them to the movies to increase the estate for his daughter. A man of marked reserve, Parker was known to a few as one of Hollywood's most colorful zt k->n»-O/-»tAJFa

c haracters. With William Wellman and Merian Cooper, he flew in the Lafayette Escadrille. Later, he fought for the Moors against the Riffs. And, at one time, he was in the U S. i nte 11 i g ence service in Panama.

This fall Parker was to have produced Ernest Hemingway's first play on the Spanish war. One of his own scripts, written in collaboration with his former wife, Miriam Hopkins, is in the hands of Max Gordon. The author was a crony of Ronald Colman and William Powell. Inside of the small circle of friends who really knew him, Parker’s death is mourned as few have been in Hollywood. What price separation for honeymooners? Since James Dunn has licen on a personal appearance tour in Winnipeg, Minneapolis, Chicago and Kansas City, he has spent over SBOO telephoning to Frances Gifford. At Herb Kay’s opening at the Cocoanut Grove, Charlie McCarthy, as usual, was the hit of the evening, especially when he paraphrased it: •T think that I shall never see A dog that doesn’t love a On appearance at the Grove, Bergen keeps Charlie in a suitcase underneath the piano. He is constantly afraid that somebody will steal the famous dummy. Dorothy Lamour’s presence at the opening was a feat of devotion. She had to come up from location at Balboa. Which meant getting up at 4 a. m. for the return drive. While Husband Herb Kay directed the orchestra. Dorothy danced most of the time with Randolph Scott. Unusual twosome was George Mason with Carol Stone. He used to be engaged to Sister Paula. Ann Miller’s most embarrassing | moment was when she went to look i at apartments at the Hermovne.
