the screen’s glamour girls, took a noticeable dip. Last year a handful of foreign film addicts (among them Miss Crawford) saw Ingrid Bergman play a horribly disfigured heroine in a Swedish production “A Woman’s Face.” Said Miss Crawford: interest was in getting a “good story. . . . There are too many pretty women in pictures, anyhow.” She certainly got a good story. “A Woman's Face” is a slick thriller turned out by Director George Cukor. (“The Philadelphia Story’). Also starring Conrad Veidt and Melvyn Douglas, the picture is on tomorrow through Sunday at the Irving, Rivoli, St. Clair and ! Strand; Sunday through Tuesday at the Belmont.

HOLLYWOOD HAS suddenly found itself in a new (but old) film cycle and is rushing to cash in. This time it’s the pie-throw-ing, pistol shooting, slapstick type of physical comedy which is pushing sophisticated drawing room stuff right out of story conferences. : Responsible for the wave of zaniness are Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, whose “In the Navy” reaches the neighborhoods tomorrow and over the week-end. Along with Dick Powell, the Andrews Sisters, Claire Dodd and Dick Foran, these two loonies pull the broadest of comic routines, including their hilarious shell game and money changing business. The laugh hit is on tomorrow ' through Saturday at the Uptown; tomorrow through Sunday at the Irving, Rivoli and Strand; Saturday through Tuesday at the Fountain Square; Sunday through Tuesday at the Belmont. ” 2 ”

Report Goldwyn Considers Gary Cooper for Role.
HOLLYWOOD, July 16 (U. P.) — Mrs. Lou Gehrig today had authorized Producer, Samuel. Goldwyn to film a movie based on the life of her late husband, the New York Yankee first baseman. Mrs. Gehrig arrived in Hollywood this week with Christy Walsh, who was Gehrig's business manager. Together they negotiated a contract with Goldwyn for authorization .of the film and assistance of scenario writers in preparing the story. “ The widow plans to remain in Hollywood several weeks working with writers. The picture will be filmed next fall for release during baseball season next spring. It was believed Goldwyn was considering lanky Gary Cooper to play Gehrig. :

Following the Paramount picture he has signed to go with 20th Cen-tury-Fox for the next Jane Withers film “Small Town Deb.” This will mark a reunion for the two, as they played together in “Ginger,” Miss Withers’ first picture, produced in 1934. Bruce Edwards, another addition to the cast, will have the ro-Inanue-Jead opposite Cobina Wright r.
FORAN NOW LEARNS HOW TO 'LET GO'
HOLLYWOOD, July 16 (U. P.).— Actor Dick Foran already has learned the art of “hanging on” in a fight, but now he has to familiarize himself with the trick of “letting go.”
The screen leading man was supposed to toss a movie savage into Pollard Lake behind Universal Studio. The “savage,” a husky ex-foot-ball player, wouldn't release him, however, and Mr. Foran fell into the lake, too. The soaking damaged 8 new wrist watch, a wallet, some money and a driver’s license.

Senora Waters, who also looks like a Mexican is supposed to and comes from Piedras Negras, Coahuila, is a friend and part-time translator for Senorita Villa. Senora Waters explained that her native people view Pancho simply as a big-hearted man who took land from the rich by whatever means was at hand and gave it to the poor.

An M-G-M Pancho
IN 1934 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer made a picture out of the colorful life of Pancho and called it “Viva Villa.” Wallace Beery was the star. Then to exploit the picture, M-G-M came to Chihuahua and ‘engaged Pancho’s daughter, Celia, to make personal appearances with it. That's ‘how she got started in the show business. “I "like the United States so much I'm going to stay,” the senorita said in English, “I think I'll be an American citizen.”
Senora Waters confirmed this in Spanish and Senorita Villa smiled and flashed her big, dark eyes, which are really something to see. As a matter of fact, she looks as if she’s just stepped out of a soft drink picture calendar. She seems to be an addict, too, of large, floppy hats and very long fingernails painted very red.
