Mae West Wanted Indian, But Admirers Mailed Pennies Star of ‘Now Pm a Lady’ Seeks Descendant of Red Skin Shown on Coin. Stacks of Indian pennies, most of them bearing dates prior to 1900, poured into Mae West’s Hollywood apartment and Paramount’s Hollywood studio, result of the blond’s announced search for the descendant of the Indian who posed for the American coin. “They must have got me wrong,” explained Mae. “I certainly appreciate the interest taken by people in my Indian hunt, but I didn’t want pennies—I want Indian pictures.”

Many of the mailed pennies were accompanied by letters explaining that if Mae couldn’t use the coins, she was to keep them for good luck. A San Leandro (Cal.) girl pointed out that “I’ve used it as a good luck piece. I found it and took it with me when I went job hunting, but it didn’t work. But if you can’t use it, keep it—it may bring you good luck. The star, who wants a real brave for a major role in her new picture, “Now I’m a Lady,” has put in much of her time since her penny Indian request was made, answering letters and returning the pennjes. In the same flood of mail, she is receiving pictures and descriptions of Indians all over the nation, from California, New Mexico, Oregon Oklahoma, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Wisconsin. “Some of them are fine looking men,” admitted Mae. “But I want to see more.” Creates New Style Marlene Dietrich haj fashioned a new style which is a “cross” between skirts and the pants she popularized a couple of years ago.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Dramatic Coaching Faced by Max Baer Max Baer is going to school. The world’s heavyweight champion is determined to be as good an actor as possible, and before he starts work on Paramount’s “Kids on the Cuff” he will work with Phyllis Loughton, studio dramatic coach. Baer isn't satisfied to do anything by halves. He holds the world’s heavyweight boxing championship. He plays golf in the low 80 s. His bridge is good enough that he can sit in with the first-flight players. And as long as he is in pictures, he won’t be satisfied with anything but a polished performance. Composes New Number NEW YORK Dec. I.—Richard Leibert, the only organist featured at a night dub, introduced this week a nev selection, “Maryette,” which he wrote expressly for use in the Rainbow room at Rockefeller center.
