An executive meeting will be held at seven o'clock preceding the business meeting. All co-workers are asked to be present. DELTA THETA TAU HAS BUSINESS MEETING The Delta Theta Tau sorority met at the home of Helena Wehmeyer Tuesday evening for a business meeting. It was approved by the ! sorority to give twenty-five dollars to the WPA recreational project and . fifty dollars to the Krick and Tyndall fund.

E. Bell Tuesday evening. A short business meeting was held, after which a musicale was presented by Miss Helen Haubold, Mrs. I Dan Tyndall, and Miss Louise Haubold.

all the studios have been wracking their brains trying to devise a picture on the same formula. R-K-C appears to have done it with “Th« Castles”. The new Astaire-Rogers picture will revive 30 old song hits These 12 are to be featured: "The Pink Lady”, "Madame Sherry”, "The Darktown Strutters' Ball”, "Oh, You Beautiful Lady”, "By the Light of the Silvery Moon”, "When You Wore a Tulip”. "By the Sea, by the Sea”, Let's Settle Down in a One-Horse Town”, "The Yama Yama”, "It’s a Long Way to Tipperary”, “Every Little Movement Has a Meaning of Its Own” and "Keep the Home Fires Burning”. Bring back any memories to you ? Tough luck for Hedy Lamarr’s boy friend, Reginald Gardiner, falling down a flight of stairs and breaking his elbow in three places. Tough luck for Franchot Tone, too. Reggy is working in Franchot’s picture, "Katherine the Last”, and his injury is liable to hold things up and make it tough for Tone to get back to Broadway by Nov. 22 to rehearse for the play, "Gentle People”. It’s a good thing for Gardiner that Hedy is working in "New York Cinderella”. The boys certainly would try to move in. Don’t know whether you remember her—the Hollywood parade moves on so swiftly —but, about two-and-a-half years ago, Beulah Hutton was under contract to Universal. She was a beauty and had a chance at a career. Then came an auto accident that scarred her face. In course of time, she got a iob as stand-in at 20th-Century-Fox for Virginia Field, Shirley Deane and several others. Well, the story has a happy ending. Time and surgery have removed the scars and Beulah is to get that rare thing, a second opportunity. She becomes an actress again in a new Jones Family picture. Stars are superstitious people Isa Miranda’s first real success in European pictures happened to coincide with the hiring of a Russian secretary, Eugenia Andam r. When Isa came to Hollywood to make "Zaza”, her secretary didn t have s quota number and had to stay at home. But "Zaza” didn't turn out so well. Claudette Colbert had to take over the part Is* * s about to try again In Hotel Imperial”. And this time the secretary Is here. . In case you haven't noticed, the letters of the secretary's name Andamlr, can be rearranged anc made to spell Miranda.
