By HARBISON CABROLL Copyright, 1938 King Features Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD — Hollywood’s campaign to build a new glamor girl out of Martha Raye's robust personality is continur- ''JHh', ffiTT —1 ing full blast.

Latest move is to install the star in the dressing room of Marlene Dietrich, who was Paramount’s No. 1 glamor expert until she left that lot. In that exotic apartment, Martha is being fitted with a special seductive wardrobe and is being put through the hands of hair dressing experts to create a new glamor coiffure. A transatlantic telephone talk between Maureen O’Sullivan in Hollywood and her younger sister, Sheila, in England, has put an end to Sheila’s plans to come to the movie capital and take pot luck, with Maureen’s expected help, with a screen career. As the result of the “dutch uncle” session, Sheila stays at the Rochampton school near London, studies a year, in France. Then she has her choice of entering either the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts or acting with the Abbey Players in Dublin. By that time, Maureen figures, she herself may want to retire from the screen and Sheila can come across and try for her place in the industry. The M. G. M. star believes her kinship would be only a handicap to her sister if she tried Hollywood without the training background.
