HOLLYWOOD

By PAUL HARRISON

OLLYWOOD, June 13 (NEA). —Short takes: Among the subjects of Federal investigation here which brought out J. Edgar Hoover and some of his supersnoopers are the gambling ships anchored just outside the territorial limit. Sinall boats ply back and forth between shore and those floating

casinos, which are on the free, high sees, without any customs or immigration inspection. What, then, is to prevent the smuggling of goods or, more dangerously, aliens into the United States? A foreigner with money couli board a gambling ship frora another craft, play roulette a while, and ride to shore in a water taxi along with the crowds of home-bound suckers. The Federal Government could sink the gambling-ship business quickly enough by imposing on all patrons the strict inspections and restrictions enforced at major ports of entry. And it may. Ilka Chase nearly got the role that Rosalind Russell plays in “The Women,” so when Miss Russell fumbles a line Director George Cukor calls an assistant: “See if you can get Ilka Chase to come out and play this scene.” But Cukor, if you recall, was replaced by Victor Victor Fleming as the director of “Gone With the wind.” So Miss Russeil calls to the same assistant: “Telephone Mr. Fleming and ask when he’s going to take over this picture.” = =n 8 USIEST actor in town now is Alan Hale, who's sprinting

Fairbanks Would Film Candidates

All Presidential Aspirants Urged to Campaign Through Movies.

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN * United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, June 13.—Douglas Fairbanks Jr. suggested today that 1940 Presidential candidates present themselves to the public through the movies. His plan was for all Presidentaspirers to have feature-length biographical films made, and get such actors as Paul Muni and Spencer Tracy to act the candidates’ roles. He said the plan would save money for both major political parties, would dramatize the issues better than they ever had been before, and would prevent elections being won simply by oratorical skill. “It would give the public a chance to see a man’s life and work on the screen,” he said. “There couldn't be a more adequate way of summarizing his record. Explains His Plan

Mr. Fairbanks photo-campaign thus: “You would have to form a board of impartial biggraphers, who would gather the highlights in the lives of all Presidential candidates—their past achievements, their business or professional careers, their record in statecraft, and anything else that was of character-revealing value. “Then, working with competent screen writers, the bureau would adapt the material into scripts. These in turn would be made into motion pictures by any Hollywood studio.” He said if the candidates retain first-class actors to play their parts, the films would be tip-top entertainment. “If any one of these pictures turned out to be dull, or wishywashy, that would be a pretty good indication the candidate being portrayed wasn’t worthy of becoming President. So even that picture would be well worth the price of admission.” Would Cost Thousands Such movies would cost a couple of hundred thousand dollars each, maybe more. “But the political campaigns cost fortunes as it is,” Mr. Fairbanks said. “Both parties hire hordes of speechmakers. They rent halls, buy radio time and otherwise spend money lavishly, without even a thought of getting some of their money back.” Mr. Fairbanks said that as soon as he finishes his current picture he would be available to see whether politicians were interested in his scheme.

Weds Inspiration Of Bing's Song

HOLLYWOOD, June 13 (U. P.) — Johnny Burke, who for five years has been turning out songs for Bing Crosby, received congratulations today on his marriage to the girl he actually had in mind when he wrote “June and Moon.” The bride is Bessie Patterson, 21. Miss Patterson and Mr. Burke eloped to Tijuana, Mexico, over the week-end and were married, returning here immediately after the cere-

tion picture at that time. More recently, however, the script was hauled down and prepared for pro-| duction. | It was understood that the studio

which is scheduled for two performances here on the Keystone Ave. showgrounds. Gargantua is a coastal gorilla, Mr. Harriman writes, and that makes him more vicious than the mountain gorilla because the mountain gorilla doesn’t spend so much time coldly calculating. There will be other things, Mr. Harriman said, as he produced the most amazing menagerie of exotic adjectives ever assembled in any one essay on anything. The show girls will be “slender, intrepid, pretty, superb, lithe, lovely, svelte, rounded, amazing and graceful.” “The Angel of Death occupies a front row seat every time Terrell Jacobs the wild animal king, enters the great steel-barred arena of the

“the law of averages,” which apparently is even more dangerous than the animals. .In one puzzled paragraph Mr. Harriman muses over the fact that no matter how many peanuts the elephants eat between meals, they
