it—or that in the picture, “Thre« Girls on Broadway”, she plays the wife of a millionaire. Lucille Ball is off Great Danes for life. Al Halls 150-pound pooch, Lady, knocked her into the swimming pool with her clothes on. She had to come back to town wearing a borrowed suit of Hall's clothes. It gets tougher every day to make pictures. Twentieth CenturyFox wanted to use four old French songs in a scene for “Suez”. But, over there, the copyright laws invest the rights to songs forever with the heirs of the authors. On one of the songs alone, the composers were found to have 35, heirs. Having finally read Louis Bromfield’s "The Rains Came”, I want to enter the argument about casting the picture. Either Colman or Marshall is okay with me for Ransom. But I can’t see Charles Boyer as the native doctor. He hasn't the physique. Nils Asther, if they could find him, would be perfect. And how about Anita Louise for Fern? It anything else happens, Sonja Henie will never make the June -V sailing date of the Normandie. Hrs? Richard Greene had to drop temporarily out of “My Lucky Star” on account of illness. Then Sonja’s stand-in, Joan thrown through the windshlel I in an automobile crash. She was tack on the set with her head bound up. Greene has returned, too. But the star is homing ber breath and hoping that the jinx is over. Marie Wilson won’t have to be operated on, after all. . • • Marx Brothers have locked themselves in a room at R-K-O to re hearse gags for “Room Service .

Does It mean, Just because a dog has a tag on, he is allowed to run nt will, and bite people walking along the street? The other evening while walking along the sidewalk a big police dog jumped at me, nearly throwing me down and broke my glasses, and sprained I my ankle. Now I think if we haven’t any laws In Decatur to keep dogs tied, 1 think there should be some new rules made. A good many people keep dogs, but forget to feed them. I. for one, say they are not needed in town. Respectfully, O. SMITH. —— o I Many Reunions Scheduled For Summer Months j Saturday, June 18 Annual G. E. Picnic, Sun Set park.
