them. Music Taste Varied

The program that he is to offer here, as the fifth subscription concert in the Martens series, bears out the catholicity of taste which he has expressed. The program ranges from Handel and Haydn to the moderns Ravel, Poulenc and Granados. Schumann and Brahms will represent the romantic school. “I am interested in ultra-modern music, but I am also interested in Beethoven and Bach,” Mr, Iturbi has said. “I think the ultra-moderns have more or less lost their way and know quite where they are When all's said and done a certain disposition

Parking Lot Attendants Get Best Views of Stars

Car Models Varied

A varied assortment of sleek limousines, business models and flivvers parade daily into the Paramount | lot. Perhaps the most entertaining | star is Bing Crosby, who whirls up in a big tan coupe with a rather battered mariner’s hat on his head. He wheels into the nearest space and ambles to the studio, singing chance bars from his current picture. Claudette Colbert doesn’t know | how to drive and won't learn.

Choice of Aufos

Gladys Swarthout has two cars, a big brown convertible sedan and a little black limousine. She steps out at the entrance and her chauffeur drives away. But he comes back at noon with a basket lunch, since the singing star insists on the salads and delicacies prepared by her own cook. The chauffeur calls for her at quitting time. Twins could be no more confusing than the blue coupes driven by Sir Guy Standing and Randolph Scott. Even the owners can tell them apart only by the license nunbers. Both are slow and deliberate drivers. Among the late arrivals is Martha Raye, young comedienne, who favors an all-white sports coupe.

Child Star Feud Aired Over Photo

Shirley and Freddie Are Center of Dispute in Film Capital.

By United Press HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 4 —Feathers were flying today in a spirited rift between studios and relatives of Shirley Temple, ranking box office attraction, and Freddie Bartholoi boy actor from England. A publicity photograpi—at least an attempted one—at the President’s Birthday Ball precipitated the clash between 20th CenturyFox, owners of Shirley, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, present employers of Freddie. The Bartholomew faction claimed Shirley snubbed him refusing to pose for a joint picture. The Temples pointed to the little girl's unquestioned leadership in films and said, “we can’t stand for other children horning in.” Fox officials said the feud went back to a premiere when Freddie refused to escort Jane Withers, another child star, and was turned down by the Temples. Hairy Brand, Fox publicity head, explained that Shirley ranked first in box office appeal, Jane was 11th and Freddie 58th. “We won't have Shirley in any Bartholomew stills,” was his terse comment, Official protests were hinted.

NO DOUBLE HIRED FOR JOE BROWN

Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 4—No “doubles” substitute for Joe E. Brown, now starring in “When's Your Birthday?” Though the wide-mouthed comedian’s pictures often call for falls, leaps and crashes which easily might result in painful injuries, he always insists that he shall be the one to take the chances.

AFTER 6

VOTES AND KISSES

Senator Bob Reynolds’ demonstration of Kissing Jean Harlow on the steps of the capitol, with benefit of a large corps of cameramen, evoked the open admiration of his colleagues, say the authors of the Merry-Go-Round. When the North Carolina widower entered the Senate dining room shortly thereafter he was greeted with cheers and hails. “Bob, what was it Miss Harlow said to you when you finished that kissing act?” asked one of them when the applause had quieted. Senator Reynolds broadly, replied: “She said, ‘Senator, you are wasting your time in Washington. You ought to come to Hollywood.’ ”
