PSI IOTA XI HAS MEETING The Psi lota Xi sorority had its' regular meeting Tuesday evening: at the home of Mrs. Ben Duke. Al short business session was held.

Clark Gable, Sonja Henle and Mickey Rooney ran one, two, three, four. But the real surprise Is that Jane Withers topped both Alice Faye and Tyrone Power. Funny place, Hollywood. Four years ago, Jerry Cady, radio producer, had to fire Bob Burns off a three-dollar broadcast job because Burns couldn’t fake a German accent. * Today, Cady is a writer on Bob's picture, "I’m From Missouri." The two are great friends and Burns, whose radio salary is now in the thousands, did a bit part on one of Cady’s programs. He did it anonymously and gave the small check he received to charity. When Christmas rolls around again, the stars who ride the big float down Santa Claus Lane on Hollywood boulevard could take a tip from the way Jackie Coogan and Betty Gable did it. Instead of sitting back and bowing woodenly. they stood up, waved and called out greetings to the kids and adults lined up along the famous street. It made a tremendous favorable impression and the crowd answered with cheers. Appearance of Gilbert Roland and Rochelle Hudson at the Tropics lifts the Hollywood eyebrows again . . . Filmdom extends its sympathy to Lloyd Nolan, whose mother died of heart disease in San Francisco and was buried the day before Christmas . . . Mae Murray is seeing the late spots on the arm of a chap named Weingoft. They were at Slapsy Maxie’s together . . . New drink at the Victor Hugo is called "Surrealist’s surprise” ... It is made from pisco brandy, passion fruit and crushed maraschino cherries . . Thinking to give a big treat to the boys at the McKinley home in Van Nuys. Wallie Beery sent them some smoked venison . . . What he doesn’t know is that venison has been almost a staple dish at the home this year. The boys got the deer that was killed by Mrs. Kenny Baker’s car and two others that came to grief in similar accidents ... Wait until Johnny Davis sees the candid camera shots that were made of him as he sat, mouth open and snoozing. «jn a chair in the furniture department of a Hollywood department store Johnny got so tired shopping that he sat down to rest. They had to wake him an hour later.
