as being on the tedious side and as over-heavy with propaganda. Certainly, Bette Davis* |>erformance as Carlotta doesn't compare with her “Dark Victory." Muni Is magnifleent as Juarez, but the real plum of the picture is the role of Maximillian, which went to an outsider, Brian Aherne. He's romantic even in whiskers. Picture would have been more interesting, 1 think, if it had included at least one spectacular action sequence. ———— There's bad luck already on the Hedy Lamarr-Bob Taylor picture. "Lady of the Tropics.” Recently. > Director Jack Conway, one of Hollywood's best, took a four-foot fall on the set and may have a fractured elbow. Funny how men connected with Hedy get fractured arms. That's what happened to Reginald Gardiner. You can't help envying Bing Crosby his calm. He suspects the kidnap scare about the children | robably was just another of those things. "We get one about every six months,” he tells me. But. naturally. he Is taking no chancea I asked him where was the gun he is supposed to be carrying. He grinned and replied: "I left it in my other pants.” Did you know there was a real prototype of Charlie Chan on the Honolulu police force’ His name la Chang A pans and he Is just being retired after 50 years of service. During all these years of sleuthing, he never learned to read or write English. Too bad about Alice Eden, the girl who won a movie role tn Jesse Lanky's radio contest On her way to the studio for her first day s work, she tore a nail completely off her finger. ... Os ' all Eleanor Powell's adrrftrers, Wet Aronson was the only one who saw her off at the train. . . . Alar. Dinehart probably owes his life to the fact that he was wearing a heavy overcoat at the time on the crash that Injured his wife. Moselle Britton. The steering wheel broke off but the coat protected Dinehart from being impaled. , . .
