Since losing 50 pounds, Patsy Kelly has turned down offers of $17,000 to indorse reducing pills, bath salts and other slenderizing gadgets. She’s had so many inquiries from fans about her diet that she has had a mimeographed letter prepared, explaining it was a diet prescribed for her individual case and might be injurious to anyone else. The star's weight dropped to a low of 117 while she was doing double duty in a picture at Roach's and in “The Lady and the Cowboy” at Goldwyn's, but it's up three pounds now and has steadied there. This fall Disney will market the original celluloids that were photographed for “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". There were about 475,000 used in the picture but only 7,000 will be offered for sale. To settle all the conflicting reports. Ginger Rogers has left for Mexico City on a month’s vacation, i She’s alone and hopes to escape ' big receptions.
