VOICE from the Baicony by RICHARD LEWIS

ONE OF THE CHIEF sources of wonderment to this department is the prodigious amount of paper the entertainment world uses to

publicize itself.

The publicity mail that piles up on this desk alone is good for an extra 50 cents a week, stacked, wired and baled. And don’t think the gent behind this desk is letting it go into the common pile, what

with the price of paper where it is. All this paper I am hoarding at the foot of the desk. As soon as I get around to it, I'm going to realize some cold cash with a party I happen to know who pays a premiurn for slick paper with a high rag content. The stuff comes from a group of scribblérs in New York and Los Angeles who appear to have built themselves up quite a business with a mimeograph machine and a few gags. They are quite a strange group of characters with a strange assortment ¢f schemes, but friendly withal. Here is a character by the name of Al who writes me a palsy note, to wit: “Dear Chum: I have been down with the flu, how's by you? I couldn’t lie still a second for thinking of that terrific new picture starring our favorite, Brenda Beanblossom and the seven “Baker Brothers” . . . etc. 0te, ia for five pages double-spaced. Now I don’t know this guy either. It i5.one form of approach and there are many forms.

American girls accomplish both purposes . . . their success can be judged by several cases that come haphazardly to mind , . . take Edythe Harper, pert, songstress with Muggsy Spanier.” This kind of sociological approach &o the busy pages of a newspaper is not uncommon. It goes into considerable detail. For instance, a party by the name of Lieber takes up this theme and plays upon the heartstrings. He relates the sad story of Harriet of whom a bandleader named Charlie thought enough of to make his wife. “Harriet,” the publicity continues,” is now the ‘mother of a wonderful baby. But once more she lives alone and sings with another band.” This human document leaves me kind of up in the air. I am dying to know why Harriet is alone and what happened with Charlie. Also, who is taking care of the baby while she is singing? Did she find a maid? ” ” ” ' ONE OF MY FAVORITE’ correspondents is Del Vallee who scribes for Paramount in Hollywood like this: “The scene in ‘My Heart Belongs to Daddy’ in which Martha O’Driscoll zips out of her dress and throws it in Frances Gifford’s face today caused Paramount an unforseen complication.” I should think it would. Another operator on the sociological theme, Kamins by name, sends me the following observation: “The Kiss, always one of the lesser incidents of a movie plot, is subtly assuming an important place on the motion picture screen.

.The thrilling, osculatory practice

is growing out of short pants as a means to an end . . . snaring

1 man as an animal of game . . .

and is rapidly becoming an end in itself.” I don’t get it. The guest column technique is widely used. I have an essay from Dolores Del Rio who outlines her difficulties with clothes in a

, light vein which winds up on the

following note: “This has been a long digression from the original theme, but it has a definite bearing. Clothes can be a burden as well as a great help. Smart is the girl who knows that too many clothes can be more of a handicap than too few.” You can pin that one on my pal, Al, the one with the flu.

Famed Play Now on Film

Von Sternberg Directs Tale Of Intrigue, Avarice.

“Shanghai Gesture,” a melodrama of the Far East, drifts into Loew’s tomorrow, with Gene Tierney, Victor Mature, Walter Huston and Ona

Munson. The film is taken from a famous play which ran on Broadway about 15 years ago in which Florence Reed played the ultra-wicked Mme. Gin Sling, the part Miss Munson takes in the movie. An atmosphere of weird, oriental! extravagance has been given the picture by its director, Josef von Sternberg, a past master at filming wicked. people in low and wicked gambling dives. The plot centers about the attempts of certain wicked people to destroy a poor girl, the lovely Poppy (Tierney). Intrigue and avarice romp hand in hand through the narrow streets of a Shanghai where Fu Manchu characters seem to lurk in every doorway. :
