terpart of the hero in "Holiday”, has told M-G-M: "Thank you for your nice salary check but I am . ■ tired of directing just now,” and ' has sailed away on a tramp steam- ’ er for a three month’s vacation. ■ Like the heroine in “Holiday", Ann ' Dvorak has gone with him. This is the second (or is it the third?) time that this pair have ' dropped everything and pulled out 1 for far places. Fenton has definite- ! ly made good directing the “Crime 1 Doesn’t Pay” shorts at M-G-M and recently put on makeup again for a ' role in “Boy’s Town”. All the fables come true in Hollywood, even the one about the bride going on a honeymoon alone. Irving Reis, Paramount writer, finished the script of "King of Chinatown” and was married to Meta Arenson, the actress. Right away, he got a rush call to come back to the studio and polish up the script, so he is in Hollywood and she honeymooned In Carmel alone until Reis could join her. — Excitement for Jane Withers. The family went to their Arrowhead cabin and discovered that someone had stolen the motor boat Jane gave to her father last Christmas. And while they were gone ] from their Westwood home, the canvas covering over the hen house caught fire and burned up some of Jane's pet chickens. In the hubbub her two pet deer also escaped. Looks as if the Hollywood correspondents are made of stern stuff. R-K-O sent a busload of writers to the “Gunga Din” location at Lone
