He originally said no, so the kid got himself a partner and entered the jitterbug dance contest at the Hollywood Legion stadium With Mickey Rooney, Frankie Darro and other friends to help lead the cheering, he won a cup, SSO in cash and a week’s contract to play on the stage at the Paramount studio. Small is so tickled at the kid's nerve that he is going to let him play a bit in the picture after all. The Warner Brothers’ party for the Legionnaires was the biggest scale on which Hollywood has ever played host. Aside from the unavoidable traffic jam, things went off smoothly. Stars such as Dick Powell, Joan Biondell, Paul Muni. Marie Wilson, Pat O’Brien and Allen Jenkins stood for hours to greet the visitors. Olivia De Havilland showed up even though her face was swollen from an impacted wisdom tooth. Wallace Ford would like to get his hands on the thief who stole his new car. It also contained the family laundry for the week, five suits of Wallies clothes and several of his wife's dresses. Not to mention a jar of home-made bread and butter pickles which Pat O'Brien’s mother was sending tc Mrs. Ford.
