the set. but it gtves Universal a chance to fadlyhoo the picture by copping an old Garbo slogan. The catchlines for the ads will read: "Baby Sandy Talks." Studio claims the youngster's funniest effort l« an imltati'in

Harrison Carrell

of Hugh Herbert's "Woo. Woo!" Herbert also appears in the picture. Speaking of catchlines, the local ads for "Honeymoon In Bali" are really something. A picture of Madeleine Carrail and Fred MacMurray, lipa close together. Is captioned: "When a Manhattan miss gets a Bali kiss from a lad like this, you can bet she's his!" Tip to New York editors: Understand the yacht captain with whom Errol Flynn had the fight is going to sue the star for 310 - 000. . . . Claiming that Flynn knocked him down five or six times. Talk about funny mlxups! Lloyd Nolan drove another man’s car for three days without knowing It. Hr finally was picked up by the Santa Monica police who had a gtoien car report on the machine which belongs to a Twentieth Century-Fox writer. Car is Identical to one owned by Nolan and the actor got away with it by mistake. Topper of the story is this. We could give you the name of the writer but he says please don't, because he doesn't want his creditors to know he now has a job and owns a car. Cecilia Parker underwent a major operation at the Cedars of hospital. Her condition Is serious but not critical. Husband Dick Baldwin is at her bedside.

BROADWAY NIGHTS By AXEL STORM

NEW YORK—Moss Hart and 1 Leorae S. Kaufman arc having the dandii-it tune with a little thing called "The Man Who Came to Dinner" at the Muste Bog Theatre. It’s ail about Alexander Woollcott, and if you know Mr. Woo.'cott (Axel doesn't, but the Woollcott saga blankets New York like a pea-soup fog) it's simply mab'vlous how funny tbe play is. Ihe idea Is that Sheridan Whiteside (the Hart-Kaufman nom do greasepaint for Alee) ia trapped into accepting a dinner to tht home of • nrh mar.ufiM * Utrer. It fakes place in a small Ohio town jnst to show how silly America ia. Whiteside stumbles and hurt* his hip, is laid up in • wheelchair for some weeks dur•fig which his lebensraum consist* of 80 per eent of the manuteturer's home and 100 per vent of his emotions. Paris, lx>ndon, Bombay, New York are at the ocher end of th* unfortonato manufacturer's telephona. into nis front parlor walk such per•onages as Noe) Coward, Harpo Harx, an actress whose lingerie is tn a constant St Vitus dance, and sundry other figures Including a dopey small tows doctor •nd a miraculously intelligent •nd perceptive small town newspaperman It’s all as gay and as witty as The New Yorker when Mr. Woollcott was that fine tnagaxme's good fairy. The plot's unimportant. The newspaperman wins Mr White MO's secretary despite the White■ide touch and the pretty blonde •ctrrss with tortnites in bar toddy The point is that the humor mu that glamorouelv emetic quality which marir* Mr Whiteside's graciously Idtumah articles and his honeyed crooning Into the country's defenseless radio microphones. Tbe Whiteside uumor never rises above the waistline, but there isn't a guffaw in a tramload. Sex ia the limp and

Richard Greene ride in "Little Old New York " It s the fanciest thing of its kind in Hollywood. Done in black and gold, with silver mount- ; Ings and with hand-tooled leathers The carriage was made only a ' short time ago by a famous London firm. Story goes that it wa» ‘ intended for delivery to Rumar. tan nobility but was never claimed ; Studio bought It for a hamfaomi ' | pnee but will IMks this back aav ' eral times by renting it to other lota. i ____ 1 Fred Fredericks, of the Ma« Factor outfit, thinka it may be interesting that the white pierrot wig worn by Eleanor Powell In 1 "Broadway Melody of IMO," is 1 worth more than its weight in 1 gold. Current quotation on gold ■ Is around 334 an ounce. The nat- > ural white hair used in the wig cost 345 an ounce. The only more I expensive kind of hair in the world > is natural red. ! James Cagney says it happene J • the other night on the Wamei Brothers back lot. They were i staging a bombardment in noi man's land for "The Fighting 89 " The noise was deafening. The dust was blinding. Finally, Director . William Keighley yelled "Cut!" i For a moment there was alienee. ; then the voice of Stunt Man Buster Wiles: l "Hey, when are they going to , throw down the pamphlets?" If they don’t do It before, look , for Jane Wyman and Ronal t r Reagan to get married just before Christmas in Des Moines, where he ( was a radio announcer before he ( was discovered by the movies. Hope the talk about Hasel Forbes and Harry Richman isn't true. , . . Mark Kellinger, tbe big ' softie, was so nervous about the ' preview of his picture, "The Roaring Twenties," that he spent most ' of the time at the Case lAmaw ’ bar. . . , Also there was Jim Me- ' , Ginnis, just divorced and being consoled by not one but three beau | > ties, including the Baroness von I-eedenman. . . . Watch out for the performance of George Ernes’. . in "20.000 Men a Year." They say ! he is really good. ... A reader of i thia column wants me to give the i > fans credit. At the sneak preview • of "Remember" in Huntington Park, they voluntarily cleared a i path for Barbara Stanwyck whose i arm was still in a sling*. . , Sol Wurtsel just finished 25 years with the Fox studio. He was there before Alice Faye. Richard Greene I and Linda Darnell were even bom.

Ifolswginous foil with which Wh.tot side registers touche or. Amadr dica s dull peasantry, than laugh* i iika anything at his own wondtr- ■ ful cleverness. There's something r ineffably obscene in the Whiteside preoccupation with other » people's bedroom*, but tbe aur dience howled with laughter, so ■ Messrs. Hart and Kaufman must , have (truck bom* Special credit must go to Monty i Woolley for a swell Whiteside, to i Edith Atwater as hi* swell eecroi tary and to aia little boy* from a r church choir who formed tbe ■ musical background for a WhiteI aide Christmas broadensL Tbe i kids shared a background of smut i and leering innuendo which only i opposites can attract. Your eor- ■ respondent wouldn't like "The ■ .Man Who Came to Dinner" even ■ if it were true and good and . beautiful. U may be true but , U isn't good, and it’s a long, long i jump from beauty. Helen Hayee and PL 'ip Merii vale may, by this tims, be looking for another play. They held i togrther a weak and puny work i caiieq "Ladies and Gentlemen”, which was written by Chari** MacArthur and Ben Heeht from a drama by Lajoe Busb-Fekete. The program called It a cataedy, but it wasn't very comic. It was th* story of • murder jury. *le-.«n of whom wore hell-bent ea convicting a man for hi* wife's death. She fell or was pushed from a eliff. Mis* Hayes was th* twelfth talesman who felt that tbe ease hadn't been proved, and in various w»y* prevailed on the other eleven to share her belief. There'* nothing of tbe Hecht-MacArthur fire in the two-act play It wa* dull and would have been dollar without Mis* Haye* and Mr. Magivafa So the Martin Beck Theatre Will probably b* open for occupancy fa * week or so. And there's a sign on Axel Storm's desk which read* "Danger Do Net Feed tbe Dramatic Crillc "

Tobacco ...opens Doors to Fields where People Live, Work & Achieve ToJf/v there are about 1,000,000 cigar storciß drug Mores,country and grocery stores where you can buy cigarettes in the United States. These re* tailera. and the jobbers who serve them, have built up a service of courtesy and convenience unmatched by any other industry catering to the American public’s pleasure. There are another million people who are engaged directly or indirectly in the transportation of cigarettes to every town, hamlet and crossroads. It IS ESTIMATED that there are 1,602,000 tobacco farmers raising tobacco in 20 out of the 4S states. Good tobacco is one of the hardest crops to raise and bring to market, requiring great skill and patience from seed-bed planting to harvesting and curing. The modem tobacco farmer has done well the job of constantly improving the quality of his product. THE AVERAGE LENGTH of service of the 13.230 people working in the Chesterfield factories, storage houses, leaf-handling and redrying plants is over 10 years. This means that every step in the making of Chesterfields, regardless of how small, is handled by people who have had 10 years of experience and ability in knowing their jobs. Truly TOBACCO OPENS DOORS to fields where people live, work and achieve, and Chesterfield takes pride in its ever increasing part in this great industry that ia devoted entirely to the pleasure of the American public. Io SMOKERS, Chesterfield Cigarettes have altvays said, and now repeat, that in no other cigarette made can you find the same degree of real mildness and good taste, or the same high quality of properly cured and aged tobaccos. Chesterfield Cigarettes are made with one purpose only ...to give smokers everywhere the MILDER. BETTER-TASTING SMOKING PLEASURE they want.
