BING CROSBY NAMED IN SUIT OVER SONG

. HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 24 (U. P.).— Crooner Bing Crosby, Bandman Harry Owens and Paramount Studio were sued for $500,000 today by Myrtle R. Hoffman, who charged her song was stolen not once, but twice, for the same picture. Miss Hoffman complained that her tune “Roses, Lovely Roses Bring " Dreams to Mé.” was sung twice by Mr. Crosby in his picture, “Waikiki Wedding.” One variation. was entitled “Keilani” and the other, “Sweet Leilani.” she said.

Just when it seemed as if nothing could make the Dead End Kids (above) get a haircut, along came the Circle's present screen attraction, “On Dress Parade.” In it, they not only are shorn, but disciplined as well. The tense moment of cross-examination at the right is from the Lyric’s “Main Street Lawyer.”# The principals are Anita Louise and Edward Ellis.

Clerk in House Hits Film Jibe

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 (U. P.).— William Tyler Page, for 58 years an attache of Congress and now a minority clerk of the House, charged today that the jokes and jibes at Congress by the motion picture inIN dustry and “other entertainment | media” were unfair assaults on a t| fundamental American institution. Mr. Page did not name any pic- ® | tures or plays, specifically, but it was Sa | obvious that he referred to the rei | cently released picture “Mr. Smith §| Goes to Washington,” which received much adverse comment from &= | Congressional circles when shown : | here recently. His charges was made in an address before the Washington School for Secretaries at the National Press Club. “Congress is no better and no worse than the people who make up our country,” Mr. Page said. “Those who consider Congress worthy only of jokes must naturally hold the American people in the same esteem. Congress is the American people in composite.”

LONDON, Nov. 24 (U. P.).—An agreement has been reached with United States film companies to assure Britain of a steady supply of American films and to permit these companies to transfer part of their profits to the United States, Oliver Stanley, president of the Board of Trade, announced today. During the year which began Nov. 1, companies will be authorized to remit to America in dollars an amount representing 50 per cent of past remittances based on the average of the last three years. Some film distributors estimated these remittances at from $28,200,000 to $30,000,000 a year. Mr. Stanley said that 1gmaining revenue of the companies will be kept in Britain under supervision of a control organization representing the companies and the Board of Trade. It will be used probably to profiuce films in Britain.

Joan Bennett (With Black Wig) Still Looks Like Hedy Lamarr.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 24.—All Over the Lot—Sensation of the week was Joan Bennett, of the cool and languorous Bennetts, leading a. chorus in a rhumba. In her arms she held a Chihuahua pooch, which looked surprised. Miss Bennett is a Mexican dancer in a night club owned by George Raft. So for this role, of course, she’s still wearing the black wig and still looking’ like Hedy Lamarr. Only you'd better not mention it. Three years: ago- she and Mr, Raft and Lloyd Nolan were the principals in a picture called “She Couldn't Take: It,” at Columbia. Now they're doing a similar flicker for Walter ‘Wanger, except that it’s called “House Across the Bay.” Mr. Raft will surprise the customers by going completely soft in a couple of -love scenes with Miss Bennett. Mr. Nolan plays the rat attorney, as usual, and Walter Pidgeon gets the gal - after Mr. Raft expiates his sins by being shot by prison guards while swimming back to Alcatraz, from which he had escaped.

first instance, even in the oldest inhabitant’s memory, where a baby in the cast failed to steal the show from the grown-up actors.

Perhaps William Powell had a short talk with the director before the shooting started. At any rate, William A. Poulsen, the infant who plays Nick Charles Jr., never has a chance. He's as cute as they come, is. William. But his footage doesn’t include many cooing sequences photographed at cribside. It’s the old block, rather than the chip, which comes in for the major share of attention. And that is as it should ‘be. For this third picture in the “Thin Man” series continues to top all its contemporaries in the field of comedy-mystery. Nick Charles, as played by Mr. Powell, continues ‘to be a very human and very engaging person. In fact, his deduction and g and debonair deviltry are so much fun to watch that one catches himself - forgetting to won-

.|der who the murderer is.

On: this. occasion, . Mr. PowellCharles and his amiable’ spouse, Myrna Loy, arrive in New York with their new son, Bent upon a pleasant, if not quiet vacation, they once again find themselves involved: in a mystery of violence before Nick can pour himself a second hooker of scotch. An old friend of Mrs. Charles’ father calls up to inform the couple that his life is being threatened. They hurry out to Long Island and are plumped into a broil of shotguns, burning bath houses, slain dogs and what have you. Before the night is over, the old laird of the manor has been killed, just as he predicted. To make matters worse, the fiance of the victim’s daughter takes a pot shot at Nick, and is killed by a quartet of guards. Then the chiselersuspect is also killed. Which leaves everything in a mess. And Nick solves it with a neatness that makes Holmes and Watson look like a couple of rural deputies. “Another ' Thin Man” has its quota of clever lines and amusing “business.” And Miss Loy complements Mr. Powell's performance

The definitely unhandsome, slightly

stoop-shouldered fellow you'll see]: ‘| will be Kay Kyser, being dynamic

and entertaining in “That's Right— You're Wrong.” Hollywood does an about face in the Horatio Alger technique and does not present the little man as a young and struggling maestro in somebody’s backroom. Instead he is the great Kay Kyser with his galaxy of stars and the College of Musical Knowledge,

Boys Go Hollywood

He gets a Hollywood offer. Everyone in the orchestra wants to go. Kay doesn’t. He has a feeling Hollywood will do something to his boys. It does. They go Hollywood. And Hollywood can’t do a thing with him. He remains homely. They attempt to make him a Casanova, a double-time lovin’ man. All he can say is “How’y’all.” They can’t find a story to fit this bespectacled jumping jack, who has about as much romance in him as a court jester, :

Gives Them a Story

Kay gives them a story anyway. And you can figure that’s just about the way the whole thing worked out when he actually went out there to make a picture. The movie should result in at least two of those well-known Hollywood . “discoveries.” Ginny Simms has been recognized for some time as a good looker and a fine singer. So has Harry Babbitt. “The movie is liberally supplied with scenes from broadcasts of the Musical College and there's plenty (not too much) of Kyser music.

The second feature is “Meet Doctor Christian,” with Jean Hersholt and a fetching ingenue named Dorothy Lovett. .She plays the part of Judy, well known to many radio listeners.—H. M.
