On *M stage, they do everything. They resent the camera taking over most of their job. That's why Tallulah Bankhead and other big Broadway stars are problems in a studio.” "Who else besides Tallulah?" I ask. "Hey.” says Mayo. "You're too nosey. G'wan, sell your papers!" Over at Warners, the "Janie" set is a circus. Director Michael Curtis and Dance Director Leroy Prins, two of Hollywood's madmen, are co-directing a bunch of kiss in a jitterbug party scene. Among the kids are Prins* daughter Dolores, Walter Brennan's daughter Ruth. Gene Fowler's son Will and the daughter of Poodles Hannaford, the famous clown. Some of the kids have to be excused from time to time for schoolwork and thia is annoying to Curtis, who Is an impatient man. But he keeps under control. All he allows himself is one crack when tney make mistakes. “Prinz," he yells, "I think we'd better write a letter to their moth* During this scene, there have been some funny exchanges between Curtis and Prins. Once Mike wasn't satisfied with the dance and he said to Prins. "Look, I hear you are tough. 1 hear you beat people up. Well, l'ir going to tell you something and I don't want you to punch me In the nose." When Prinz put up an argument, as of course he would, Curtis exploded. Confound it. Prinz, you should have less respect for me!" On another stage at Warners, Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent, in the picture, “My Reputation." are celebrating New Year s Cve in a night dub. A band is playing "Pop Goes the Weasel" and all the revelers are dancing the Vir- ** been at it for two hours and everybody is beginning to sag at the knees. When the shot Is finished, Brent comes off mopping hte brow. •You should get out and do this more often," says Barbara slyly That dance." says Brent, "is for W*L" SU

the treatment at Twentieth Century* Fox thia week tor the picture, *'S wv e t and Lowdown." It's a simple scene — an entrance through a door and a few lines of dialogue as Benny climbs up on the bandstand with the boys of his orchestra.

gation was founded to provide the U. 8. department of justice with a permanent investigative source, under its Immediate control. For some years It led a rather desultory existence, but since 1921, with .1, Edgar Hoover a- Its director. It lias been an alert, efficient and non-polltlcal organization. Its facilities are available to every regularly constituted law enforcement agency. "It Is an investigative and a Judicial organization. ?t confines itself strictly to getting the facts, which are many times a means of clearing from suspicion the names of good American citizens, who might otherwise suffer humiliation and disgrace." The next meeting will Ire held at the ’iiome of Miss Eva Acker, who will also have the club paper. Adams post 43, American Legion, will sponsor a dance and evening of special entertainment a* the Legion home Saturday night. Dancing will start at 10 p. tn.. with the entertainment begininng at 10:15. in addition to Legionnaires and auxiliary members, men and women home on furlough are invl'ed.
