The star, always a great worrier, has cut his vacation two j weeks short and arrives Monday to begin work on the new routines. Ginger reports for her rehearsals on Sept 15. Suggestion to the boys campaigning to let you know that “Motion Pictures Are Your Best Entertainment". Why not point out what cheap entertainment they are, too? In England even the I neighborhood houses think nothing of charging from $1 to $1.25 for seats. And the first run houses in London get as high as $2.50. More and more youngsters take things into their own hands these days. Jimmie Mishler, 15-year-old Chicago boy and a fan of Jane Withers since she has been making pictures, presented himself at the Withers' home the other day. He’d come by bus from Chicago to see his soreen idol. The Withers’ wired his family, showed him the town for a week and put him on the train, first exacting the promise that he wouldn't come back to Hollywood again. Looks as if Wendy Barrie may cash in on year of voice lessons. Billy Rose is paging her for a four weeks’ engagement at the Casa Manana. Patricia Ellis has just clicked as a singer there. . . .
