Ann Harding Cites Fame as Fleeting Screen Actress Expects to Be Forgotten When Her Work Ends. Tnr'f tsprcinl HOLLYWOOD, April 16. Ann Harding has no hope nor expectation of her work living after she dies. Nor would she expect to be remembered if she left motion pictures to again seek success on the stage. An author writing a biography of the actress asked her why she devoted herself to motion pictures, in- ; stead of returning to the stage. He ; insisted that movies are an incom- j plete medium as yet, and that players who become famous in them merely are “hard at work writing their names in ice.” Miss Harding agreed with him. The young man, disturbed at the lack of argument, believed he had been misunderstood. “I mean,” he said, “that you have gained prestige in movies, but your name will be forgotten a year after you quit them.” Again, she agreed. Work Hard, Then Forgotten “Well, then,” he said, sparring for an explanation, “I still am amazed that all of you work so hard out here to write your names for the public when you know they will I fade as if you had written them in ice. Yet you could have stayed on the stage and had the chance of being remembered.” Now, for the first time, the biogj rapher struck disagreement. “Unfortunately ” Miss Harding : said, “all of us, on the stage or off, are writing our names in ice.” She went on to tell her biographer he could count on his fingers the players who were remembered past their time. She confounded him by asking him to name five j players of 50 years ago, which should, she said, be an easy task, for the theater of England was at its heighth in the last half of the 19th century. The young man named John Drew. Maurice Barrymofe, but could go no farther. Few Old-Timers Remembered “Yet.” Miss Harding pointed out, “the American theater then had some of its greatest actresses There were Agnes Ethel and Ada Rehan. For beauty there was Fdnny Davenport, and for popularity, Laura Keene, probably as popular as any actress ever has been in America. Besides, she was a pioneer and was the first woman ever to have a company of her own in this country. But even after 50 years, still in our time, their names are unfamiliar.” Miss Harding often gives her explanation for the swiftly passing fame of actors. She believes it is because they are “executive artists.” rather than “creative artists.” A musician, she pointed out, seldom is remembered long after his death, but a compaser. who created something which may be played again and again, may be remembered. “An actor’s part is to interpret and execute the creation of a play-

IT'S A DOG'S LIFE, BUT KIND HOLLYWOOD, INSPIRED BY TUFFY'S TALE, IS TO FILM IT

HOLLYWOOD. April 17. You shouldn’t say that Tufiy is a mutt, just because he doesn't happen to have a pedigree. Tuffy probably has some very distinguished lineage. In fact, several kinds of it—mostly collie and shepherd. Besides, Hollywood is a face-value (own in which only performance counts very much. A person doesn't need a social pedigree to be a star. Tuffy doesn't either. But he is an individual of such distinction that they’re going to film his biography. The picture will be a short, for it's a short story. Tuffy was whelped five years ago on the plains of South Dakota, and made, himself useful and companionable to a rancher named Gerhardt Orvedahl. Along with herding cattle and scaring the daylights out of coyotes, he learned to obey just about any command that his master could think of giving. “Wolf” Camped on Doorstep Tuffy would tangle with real wolves, but he couldn’t keep the economic wolf from the door. A series of misfortunes, including drought and duststorms, took practically everything the Orvedahl

Roof Extends Band's Booking Dutton-De Sautelle Music Brings Response. Encouraged b\J the response of patrons to the music of the Dutt.onDeSautelle orchestra at the Indiana Roof ballroom. Manager Tom Devine announces he will hold the unit another week. Featured with the band, directed by Denny Dutton and Charley DeSautelle, is little Bobby Grice. Dancers and theater-goers will remember Miss Grice as the entertainer w'ho danced her way into the movies and stage shows a few years ago with the Bricktops. a girls’ band. The Roof is open for dancing each night except Monday and Thursday, with ladies’ nights Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Following the Dutton-DeSautelle engagement, Louie Lowe and his band are to play for Roof dancers. Popular With Parents Joan Crawford is godmother to more than 16 children in the nation. More than 200 have been named for her. Adds Gym to Home Robert Taylor is adding an extra room to his house. He plans to have it equipped with gymnasium apparatus. wright. There is no record of the interpretation. The actor, if he is remembered at all. has to depend upon the feeling of his critics. But the playwright has his play to speak for him,” she said. Miss Harding believes that movies may serve as a record of the actor's interpretation.

family had, except an old car and Tuffy. The rancher was sure that Tuffy was the smartest dog in the world, and he had heard that smart dogs were earning astonishing wages in Hollywood. So they came to talkietown and have had. on -the whole, a rather easy time of it. There were only a few lean, anxious days of visiting the studios. Then someone sent them to the Walter Wanger studias, knowing that, an intelligent but ordinary-looking dog was being sought for "Trail of the Lonesome Pine.” The gatemen were skeptical, as all gatemen are hired to be. So Tuffy sat up and folded his paws and prayed, audibly and quite intelligibly, for admission. That got him in to see Henry Hathaway, the director, and the dog was hired for more money a week than the Orvedahls had been accustomed to handling in months. Has Lots of Horse Sv.'nse There was an eight-week engagement. Then Tuffy stayed right on the lot for an important role in “The Moon’s Our Home.” And he already is booked for at least two more pictures in Hollywood, one of them the story of his life and conquest of the movies. Orvedahl insists that he isn't a i “trick” dog. Just an mtelligent one. Show Tuffy what to do and he'll do it, without stage fright. He can open a door, bang on a piano, climb or descend a ladder, pick up a lighted cigaret, fetch practically anything that’s men- | tioned. and will sit up at table and eat his dinner like a gentleman. There's talk of making Tuffy a director. Blearh Dog for New Role Lightning, a German-.shepherd j grandson of Rin-Tin-Tin, and an

There's another dog story, this one about a non-performer, but an old friend of Robert Greig, the big British character comedian. Some time ago this dog. a wirehaired terrier, was stricken with blindness, so instead of dog-lead-ing-blind-man. a man has led a blind dog. The two have been inseparable. Lately a noted doctor with a large Hollywood practice heard about the case, made an examination, and, on c promise that his name wouldn’t, be mentioned, offered to treat the dog. There has
