Wodehouse s “Jeeves" stories. Next March Donald Crisp is sailing away from Hollywood for a long vacation. He’s saved his money, protected himself with annuities and is sitting pretty. Crisp's father, who lived to the ripe age of 91, taught him a lesson in thrift long ago. He said: "My boy, always remember this Some day there'll be an old man coming to live with you. His hair will be white and he won't feel like hopping around. His name will be Donald Crisp and he'll need somebody to take care of him.. You're the proper person to do it." Hollywood’s younger players could learn another lesson in thrift from Ken Howell, who plays the oldest son in the Jones Family series. Ever since he got a break in pictures, Howell has been living on a budget that would dismay the average young man about the film colony. Now he is building a home in Manhattan Beach and he is paying cash for it. There's a rumor afloat that the home is for a bride. Strange how the public will confuse an actor with the role he is playing. Lewis Stone, the screen s Judge Hardy’, receives more than 100 letters a week from fans seeking legal advice. George Brent will take a test soon in an effort to regain his pilot's license. It lapsed because

picture work has kept him so busy he hasn't been able to ma i n t ain the proper number of hours in the air. . . • Cesar Romero was Jo.an Crawford's dinner partnei again at the Lamaze. . . . Down the street, at the Bublichki, Fran-
