By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1938 King Fvuturm Syndicate. Ina. HOLLYWOOD.—After all the talk about Claudette Colbert doing the can-can in "Zaza.” it. was only a question of time until some

other studio thought up a sensational dance for one of its stars. M-G-M ha s beat the rest to the gun. Jeanette MacDonald will do. a shimmy in “Broadway Serenade.” If Joan Wood-

i Harrison Carroll

bury and Henry Wilcoxen go through with their plans to marry, Dec. 17, they will have one of Hollywood’s oddest honeymoons. Both are working at 20th Century-Fox in "Chasing Danger.” The picture will not be finished by Dec. 17, so the newlyweds will have to carry on in their roles—which call for them to hate each other. In Guatemala and Peru, where the governments have a monoply on the sale of matches, Tyrone Power had to get a permit before he could use his cigaret lighter. The Annabella wedding rumors seem to have been a dud, for Power communicates to one of his closest Hollywood friends that he has no idea of getting married. In his interview with the press after becoming a vice president in the Goldwyn organization, James Roosevelt was asked why he gave up his post in Washington to go to work in Hollywood. "One job is temporary,” he said, 'the other is permanent.” Roosevelt has a five-year contract with Goldwyn at a reported starting salary of $750 a week. Newsmen couldn’t get out of either him or Goldwyn what will be the exact duties of the president’s son in his movie job. Impression given out was that he will study the business from all angles and find his own place. Problem of a bearded hero will arise again when Don Ameche plays Alexander Graham Bell. Movie audiences usually don’t like stars to wear beards, though Paul Muni did it in "The Story of Louis Pasteur.” Zanuck will check fan reaction to Ameche's appearance with a mustache and goatee in “The Three Musketeers.” If this is accepted, Ameche probably will wear a beard as Bell. It not, the research department has an out

of bridge were played and the prize' was awarded to Miss Mary Miller. The roams were decorated in keeping with the Christmas season with candles and miniature Christmas trees centering the small tables. A one-course luncheon was served by the hostess to the Misses Mary Miller, Thelma Cook, Barbara Jane Keller and the Mesdames Robert Rumschlag. Henry Brann, Joseph Murphy, and Ralph Reed. The Women of the Moose will hold their annual Christinas party and exchange Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. Earl Whitehurst of 916 Walnut Street. A pot luck dinner will be served at six o’clock. A twenty-five cent gift exchange will be held during the social hour. Mrs» Marion Hare and Mrs. Earl Whitehurst will be in charge of the program. All members are invited to attend. I CELEBRATES 87TH BIRTHDAY The children, grandchildren and one great great grandchild gathered at the home of Mrs. Virginia) Smitley Sunday to help celebrate) her eightyseventh birthday. A basket dinner was served at noon to Mr. and Mrs. Bertha Snook, William Smitley, Mr. and Mrs. Orvill ■Smitley and Mrs. Ethel Cloveland, of Sturgis, Mich., Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Evans and son, of Vicksburg, Mich., Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fora-| man, Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Foreman) and family.

REiSIEARCH CLUB HAS CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON The Research club held its annual Christmas luncheon at the home of Mrs. Clifford Saylors, Monday afternoon at one o’clock. The home was decorated with green plants and bright flowers and a tiny Christmas tree with red and white j lights. The ladies were seated at small tables, which were laid with; white linens and centered with red candles in crystal holders. I After a lovely luncheon, Mrs. Lamoille Fogle read a paper "Why The Census Was Taken”, giving a|

foi the studio, it nan uiscuvvrei that Bell went clean shaven at certain periods of his adult life. Come Christmas Eve and Peggy Greppin, daughter of one-time screen favorite, Norman Kerry, will announce her engagement to Stuart Palmer, well-known author of mystery thrillers Palmer is working on the "Bulldog Drummond” series for Paramount. The Charlie McCarthy-W. C. Fields feud will be fanned to a new heat in "You Can't Cheat an Honest Man,” when Fields, in one sequence of the picture, introduces a talking dummy of his own. Dummy is named "Oliver" and has a nose like Fields. When operating it, the comedian will wear a big mustache to help conceal the movements oi his lips. Next Hollywood actor to take out American citizenship will be Gilbert Roland, who was born in Chihuahua—real name, Luis Antonio Damase Alonso. Gilbert’s donned makeup again for a role in “Juarez.” The fact that Shirley Temple wore a wrist watch at Palm Springs cost a whole morning of labor on the retakes for "The Little Princess." The film is in color and the white strip (where the watch had been) showed too plainly on Shirley's tan arms. They had to cover it with makeup, which meant a series of tests. Lili Damita can't make up her mind whether to stay in Europe or return to Hollywood for the holidays. . . . What’s this about a feud between Guy Rennie and Mack Gray? . . . Sally Haynes and Bert Wheeler twoing it at Slapsy Maxie’s and looking serenely wedded. • ■ . The rehearsals of the Earl Carroll girls are a magnet for the young bloods of the town . . . and some not so young. . . . Every night, after knocking off work, Carroll and his retinue go to one of the late spots. He confounds waiters and kitchen staffs by ordering hot chocolate. . . . Big doings at the Club 17 the other midnight when Franchot Tone, Pat Di Cicco, Errol Flynn, Johnny Meyer, Bud Ernst and Bruce Cabot all showed up together. • . . Paulette Goddard with A. C. Blumenthal at another table. . . . Twosomes about the town: Helen, Twelvetrees with ex-mate Jack Woody, at the Hollywood Derby. . . . Betty Lawford and Ted Husing at Victor Hugo’s. . . . A mean thief stole Jimmy Ellison’s prized wagon wheel from ‘.he actor’s front yard. The wheel was a memento of "The Plainsman” and was autographed by dozens of stars.

I clear description of the home lite, the country and the government of the people of Palestine at that time. She spoke of the intense anger of the people so ran extra tax, their fear of tregedy if a census were taken and thed read of the journeys to the cities of their nativity to pay this tax. Mrs. Fogle then beaufully described th story of the coming of Jesus “to dwell among men" I in the village of Bethelehem. the i birthplace of Mary and Joseph, who were both of the bouse and lineago of David. Mrs. Wick Krick sang “Joy To The World” and Mrs. Fogle closed her program with the thought, "May the peace of Christmas and all of its cheer be with you and bless you—through all the years.” The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. C. M. Prugh January 9, with Mrs. L. A. Graham as program leader. o
