Screen to Tell Hangover Story Carl Laemmle Will Film Hobhouse’s Book. Remember last night? Do you know exactly what you did and where you were last night? Even if you were cold sober, could you swear exactly where you were and whai you did every minute? Carl Laemmle Jr., movie producer for Universal Pictures, doesn't think most persons could. That's why he bought “Hangover Murders,” tile murder mystery by Adam Hobhouse. That’s why he’s going to make a picture out of the book. The story concerns a couple which couldn’t remember last night, couldn't swear to what they had or hadn’t done. In the cast of “Remember Last Night?” the title for the picture, are Constance Cummings, Edward Arnold, Sally Filers, Robert Young and Robert Armstrong.

Burns and Allen The two "nit-wits” of the radio and screen, George Burns and Gracie Allen, are among the stars appearing in “The Big Broadcast of 1936,” now at the Circle Theater.

Lucrezia Bori, to Sing Here Oct. 21, Collects Fans as Hobby Avoids Use of Prized Bits on Stage Since Destruction Wrought by Temperamental Tenor. Lucrezia Bori likes fans. Well, you say, what artist doesn't? But the kind of fans Miss Bori collects are the ones you wave at yourself to keep cool, either physically or mentally.

Miss Bori, who is to s.ing at English’s Theater under the sponsorship of Martens Concerts, Oct. 21, has collected fans all her life. For a long time she carried expensive and rare ones on the stage when she sang opera. An over-enthusias-tic tenor in Buenos Aires put a stop to that. It was in the second act of the opera and the music was waxing emotional. The script called for a fight between Miss Bori and the temperamental tenor. In the fight, he became so realistic that he grabbed Miss Boris fan and broke it into bits. After that, Miss Bori never carried a good fan on the stage. Her most valued possession is a gold and mother-of-pearl fan which the Empress Eugenie gave her. The sticks of the fan are of pearl embossed with golden Third Empire emblems, and the mount is decorated with a series of hand-painted court scenes with tiny ivory miniatures set between them. Old and new Spanish fans, French fans, tiny and reminiscent of Versailles. and small brown, green and purple Victorian fans, are among her collection. Miss Bori also owns several Oriental fans of antique lacquer set with semi-precious jewels. She says she always likes to carry a fan when she broadcasts,, not for beauty's sake, but just “to have something to do with my hands.” Irvin S. Cobb to Play Feature Role By Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Oct, 12.—Irvin S.

Bob Crosby Proves His Own Ability Voice Like Bing's but Style His Own, Audience at Lyric Finds. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON If Bob Crosby's name was Smith ; or Jones he would still be good. t Bob's band is a big part of the Lyric stage bill this week. The other big part of the show is Hal Sherman, something new and refreshing in the way of comedians. With a bad case of sinus infection. contracted during a two-day trip from Austin. Tex.. Mr. Crosby who doesn't want to be called Bing’s brother, did honor to the family same yesterday at the first show in singing "I'm m the Mood for Love.” His voice is like Bing's but his style is his own. Bob's band is one of the most versatile in show business. Frank Tennilie. vocalist, is outstanding in the "You Are My Lucky Star" number. The fan dance comedy sketch. Heebie Jeebies” song skit, and the : "Some of These Days” specialty all j contribute to the betterment of the j show. | Only the complimentary things can be said of Mr. Sherman. He is one of those rare and unexpected individuals who slip on to the stage, lift their comic eyebrows, smirk disgustedly, laugh heartily, and walk off with the show. On the Lyric screen is ‘TwoFisted,” a comedy farce with Lee Tracy and Gail Patrick. Roscoa Karns and Grace Bradley are also in the cast. The story concerns a fast-talking fight promoter who gets himself and his fighter a job keepi mg a Fifth-av topper in physical condition.
