In Hollywood — | Spike's Ears Are Sensitive |

By Erskin

HOLLYWOOD, Mar. 8— hearsing for a movie short,

of his six-guns to make what he considered the’ proper

sound for a routine the band “Let's get going, Spike,” yelled the production boss, ‘we're behind time.” . Spike went on carefully reloading the revolver and said: “If Heifetz was out of tune you'd have to wait.”

~ » w MacDONALD CAREY checked into the swank Coronado Hotel in San Diego and the room clerk said: “Carey, I can give you a room overlooking the ocean or one overlooking the garden. Which dq you prefer?” “What I really prefer,” replied Carey, “is a room that overlooks the rent.” 5 ” ~ BETTE DAVIS, having a long conversation on the telephone near the hat check stand at the Captain's Table, was mistaken for the check girl by a slightly-load-ed .male patron. After fidgeting for a couple of minutes, and getting madder with every fidget, he finally looked up the manager and wailed: “If your hat check girl will quit talking to her boy friend on that telephone and get my hat, I'll be on my way.” » » = JACK PAAR says he has a great idea for an afternoon program, “It's not going to be on radio or on television,” says Jack. “It's for lonely housewives. I'm going to go from door to door.” ” ” . ROBERT Q. LEWIS recently gave Robert Jordan, one of his cameramen on “The Show Goes On,” permission to miss one program in order to take an examination for Air Force pilot training. Next day, Lewis wire reading; “Hymn verse, last line.” Turning to the Bible, Lewis translated it: ’ “Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed. s » - DIRECTOR Henry King and Cameraman Leon Shamroy were shown shots taken in Africa of a hyena that will figure in “The ‘Snows of Kiliminjaro.” The first day the two men saw black and white film footage of the beast and the next day they looked at color shots. “Say,” muttered King, ‘that hyena looks a lot “better today.”! ‘He ought to,” said Shamroy, “I had him sent over to a Hollywood movie fur designer last night to be glazed.” : » - ” ASPIRATIONS of Hollywood cowboys and Texas wranglers are vastly different. Arthur Xennedy, playing a cowboy in “This Man Is Mine,” had a line which read: “Before I die I aim to toss a

Harry Decides

He'll Retire And to a Zoo, Yet

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 16 — Retirement has come at last to one! of Hollywood's celebrated stars. Harry, the chimpanzee who masjuerades as a lady, is on his way to a zoo. ' After six pictures, last of which was “Tarzan's Peril,” age finally| § caught up with the troupér. So, rather than risk the professional uncertainties that beset fading stars, Harry is doffing his film career completely and is entering the Sacramenta zoo as a permanent resident. In a state of semi-retirement, Harry, who will be billed outside his quarters as Cheta, will still entertain. The fans who sent him 1500 fan letters a week can now view Harry in person. |
