the FUOLLYUJOoSOI

By HARRISON CARROLL (opyrljht, I»3S King Features Syndicate, ine. HOLLYWOOD.—In a contest to select the most typical young Englishman on the screen today, patrons of the Carlton theater in

London gave their votes to John Howard, hero of Paramount's "Bull Dog Dr u turnond" aeries. They made just one mistake: Howard is an Ame ric an, bom in Cleveland, 0., and educated at Western Reserve university.

John Howard

His real name, incidentally is John Cox. After consulting history books, 20th-Century-Fox has decided that Dumas was wrong in making Cardinal Richelieu one of the villains of the piece in "The Three Musketeers”. So, in the Don Ameche-Ritz Brothers’ version, the stress will be on the cardinal's ability as a statesman. They are telling this on Walter Pidgeon, who is a devil of a fellow with the ladies. Walter was called the other day to make a test with Hedy Lamarr for “New York Cinderella”. After it was over, he said to Director Von Sternberg: “Say, don’t you think there ought | to be a kiss in this test?" “Yes,” said the obliging Von i Sternberg, "weTl take it over.” When Pidgeon went into a clinch j with the glamorous Lamarr, the ! crew tiptoed off the set, leaving | them alone. Hollywood stay-up-laters won’t hear Sally Clark after all. The sister-in-law of John Roosevelt | wired Phil Selznick, cancelling her scheduled engagement here on Nov. 15. Her excuse is that it wouldn’t I give her time to get ready for her , marriage, Dec. 6. to George X. McLanahan. Reminder of the war scare: Ray Milland has travel folders from certain London hotels, which stress the fact that they have bomb shelters and gas-proof chambers. The Menjous lead one ideal life.

The big iron gates, which for years have guarded the entrance to the M-G-M studio, are now torn down but will not go to the junk heap. Part of the iron is being used to make turnstiles at the casting oltice and some of it, for purely sentimental reasons, will be incorporated In a new gate by the administration building. In a few days, Sigrld Gurie's lawyers take her to Mexico where she will attempt to make an entry to the United States. This test case is necessary to iron out the question of her citizenship.
