A while back, writers decided to base one of them on a machine to manufacture diamonds. The film was still in production when a German chemical firm startled the world by claiming the creation of an artificial diamond.

Marchant of Somerville, Mass., was reported to have perfected a ray that may have this power. You can forget the Shirley RossKen Dolan engagement rumors—for the time being at least. She says: "I am too busy right j now for a romance.” Hollywood Is laughing over the true story of a newly-made producer on one of the big lots. He has turned out two sports pic-
