Carole Liked Wacky Role
Her 'Serewball' Actions'Made Her Beloved.
Frederick C. Othman, continues the story of his friend, Carole Lombard.
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 20 (U. P.).— It will be a long time before Hollywood stops recalling and chuckling over the escapades of Carole Lombard, the girl who admitted she was crazy like a fox. She was scatter-brained—on pur-
pose. She developed a vocabulary that would make a sailor blush—
|and for good reason. She was Holly-
'wood’s
leading screwball—and it
paid her $400,000 a year.
Miss Lombard had been the lush
.and curvesome heroine of many a |torrid drama when, in 1936, she co-
starred with her ex-husband, Wil-
liam Powell, in “My Man Godfrey.” |!
This was the first of the screwball
| movies.
The picture made a fortune for its
| proditcers and it made Carole one [of the brightest stars in the movies.

Mr. Elder emphasized that all contributions, to be used in exchange of an admission ticket, must be of the type which a soldier or sailor would care to read.
Carole's Last
UNITED ARTISTS booking offices here are anxiously awaiting word from New York as to what disposition will be made of Carole Lombards last picture, “To Be or to Be.” Co-starring Jack the picture had been finished only a short time before Carole was killed Friday night and no release date had been set. At the last checkup the local offices had received no instructions. Now, of ccurse, the picture will receive the ironic added box office support which the death of a well-

Hedy Lamarr, the glamour gal in H M. Pulham’s life at Loew's, will be still another kind of female in the filmization of John Steinbeck’s “Tortilla Flat.” We're told she lowers the voice to a come-on

She walked out. The master mind had to rush out after her, himself on the mental defensive. She got what she wanted from him. Producers were gentiemen that she didn’t much like. “Why back iH the early picture makin she o©n-e plained, “they took all the money and gave the actors nothing. Then

papers. The rest of the country didn’t think so. Today—thanks to Lombard—actors don’t grouse about their taxes. Yet, soon after Miss Lombard told this writer about her tax philosophy, she was at an obscure print shop, dickering to get one copy of the standard actor-agent contract, with revisions of her own devising. When time came to sign a new deal with Myron Selznick, her agent, she put her signature to her own forms. So did Selznick. Next day she dropped him a note suggesting maybe he should have read the contract. Instead of calling for her to pay him 10 per cent of her earnings, the contract said he'd have to pay her 10 per cent of his income for the rest of his life.
Married Quietly
Laughs she got also in Clark Gable’s long courtship. For more than three years they were inseparable. Then, when finally his wife divorced him after a series of unpleasant court episodes, they wets married. No Hojlywood whoop-de-do, nor orchid-lined churches for Carole. She married Gable in Kingman, Ariz, with Otto Winkler, the press agent who died with her and her mother in the plane crash, as the only Hollywood guest. When Mr. and Mrs. Gable re- | turned to Hollywood, they held a reception for their friends, the gentlemen of the press. There were {no other guests.

Soft Life For Gulls
Birds Pampered by Studio Using Them in Film.
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 20 (U. P)— If the 20 sea gulls working at 20th Century-Fox ever spread news of their experiences along the waterfront, the studio is due for an invasion. These are probably the most pampered birds in the country. California, you see, has strict laws concerning these birds, and you cannot just go out and catch one and put him in films without first seeing the game warden about it. The studio found this out during the filming of “Moon Tide.”
War Changes Picture
Waterfront scenes originally were scheduled for shooting along the waterfront, with the gulls flapping around their usual piers, but the war changed that. Director Archie Mayo then had to construct a duplicate of a harbor section on the studio lot. That called for importation of thé gulls. The state game officials gave permission for use of the birds providing strict rules were observed. The gulls must have sea food They must not work under hot lights more than four minutes at a time. They must Ye treated gently at all times. Mack Elliott, property man, took

his instructions to heart. He even built for the birds what he calls an “air raid shelter,” under some heavy steel girders. Stars Ida Lupino and Jean Gabin said the actors ought to have one too. Mr. Elliott told them to go hide in a ditch.
And when their movie careers are over, the gulls must be taken back to the spot where they were caught. It's an even bet around the studio that they’ll return to the lot in a day. Life on the water-front was never like this.
