We won’t know how to behave.” Elaine Barrie pursues her career under the eagle eye of mama. During rehearsals, Mrs. Jacobs watches from out in the orchestra seats. She even sits in on interviews, though she doesn’t attempt to conduct them. X • Friday being her birthday, Ann tSothern got a big cake. She conceived the idea of sending slices to all her friends and thereby hangs a tale that has Hollywood snickering. Ann gave the packages to her chauffeur to deliver. He stopped to see a picture show first, with the result that it was midnight when he got around to some of the homes. George Murphy took him for a burglar and held him at the point of a pistol until things could be explained. Ann’s face is considerably red over the incident and she has been phoning apologies to Murphy, Joan Bennett, Betty Furness and others who were routed out at an unseemly hour to receive their portion of cake.

When Boy Friend Clark Gable came down with the flu, Carole Lombard had an order given to the florist to send him flowers every day. The florist was the same where Gable had been buying Carole’s flowers and, as a result of a misunderstanding, Carole has been receiving her own flowers every day. Gable got none. Eighteen years ago, when she was a star at Universal, Mary McLren gave SBO to Tom GubbinS to buy her a piece of jade in China. He wasn’t able to get in touch with her on his return and they didn’t meet again until the other day, when Gubbins walked into the R-K-0 commissary and returned the money to the former star. It meant only a bauble to her then. But now she can use it. Day’s Gossip: Bill Fields, who used to say the dictionary was his favorite book, has received 37 of them since entering the hospital. . . .

Strangeri • Than\ { By Evelyn ft Conn

Joe was a killer —a desperate, brutal, innate killer, whose face and body bore the scars of many a “shotgun soiree.”

He was in jail and during the awaiting death I b y execution I time of his incarceration he I sat in his cell I resign edly, quietly, c a us- I ing the guards I notro u b I e whatsoever. In fact, he was what you might call a “model prisoner. ” That is, he was, until he got a tooth- I ache. Accord-"

M

ing to Joe, the EVELYN CONN pain was unbearable. He laid on his cot, moaning. He paced his cell, hollering and yowling like a twoyear old. He cursed the guards and the prisoners. He even begged to be executed immediately in order to be relieved of this terrible torture. The doctor put oil of cloves on the whole side of his mouth, for by the end of the second day, his entire face had swelled like a balloon tire, but even that didn’t have any effect.

Girls Chorus Gives Musical

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1937

Joe still walked his cell like a madman, his hands to his head, tears streaming down his battered face, and if ever there was a sorrier sight than he, no one had seen it. Here was a man who thought nothing of picking off several at once with his .38; a man who had been shot so many times it was a wonder he had enough whole flesh ori him to cover his big hulk; a man who had gone through innumerable hardships to get what he wanted;—and yet he was taking the count for a toothache, crying pitifully from the pain, screaming that he would rather be shot three times a day than go through this agony. Unfortunately, the dentist made only two visits a week to the jail and poor Joe had to suffer for three days before the dentist finally made his next round. When he did come, Joe ,jwas as docile as a lamb and weakly climbed into the chair. Slowly and with much pain he opened his cavernous mouth and steeled himself for the extraction. The “doc” got out his instruments and matter-of-factlv asked his patiqnt which tooth hurt him. In a split second Joe jumped out of the chair and with a look of disdain on his distorted face and his eyes narrowed to an ominous slit, he snarled, “What’re ya tryin’ to do? Make a squealer outta me?”
