Behind the Sceness

in Hollywood

By DOROTHY HERZOG

Hollywood—Out on the First National at groups of chorus girls scantily clad, may be seen strolling to and from sets. There are ap- proximately one hundred all lega sed arms figgurs under contract.

T'other day the whole gang of 'em stormed around one given but un-- seen attraction. A bystander view- ed the sight and finally asked Gene Towne, skinarist:

"What's the racket?"

"They musta found a dame with

a dress on," he deducterl.

A couple electricians gave birth to a nifty idea. They rigged up a spot light on the ground. Dorothy pressed her ankle to it. The heat helped.

A little later Dorolly figured she could manage a few closeups.

When Miss Del Rio arrived in Minneapolis on her "Evangeline" tour, Captain W. H. Fawcett, mil- lionaire publisher, and his wife clucked a lavish week-end party in her honour to celebrate her twenty- third birthday, at their gorgeous estate, Breezy Point Lodge, 150 miles from Minneapolis.

Ninety friends of the Fawcetts were pre- sent, including their prize motion picture magazine writer, Ruth Beery; Claire Windsor, Harry Curtis, son of the country's Vice- President; John Raskob, and others. Verily, a good time was had by all.

Neil Hamilton was then playing opposite Laura La Plante in a flick, Neil arrived. The gateman stopped him, "Who're you?" Neil answered him patiently, "Well, you can't drive in," the gateman said. Neil explained the set was twelve. blocks or so from his dressing-j room and that it was too hot to plow through dust and heat, to it. The gateman stuck to his guns.

Neil cogitated. Then: "What would you do if you were in my position?"

"I'd go home," admitted the men- tal midget, showing a flash of in- telligence.

"That's a great idea," enthused. Home he went, to Malibou, forty miles distant. Several hours later he was wanted on the set. A search. They learned where he was. And assistant director hopped into a car and sped to get him.

"Too bad you got here when you did," deplored Neil. If you'd waited another hour you'd have had to go on to San Pedro. I was pre- paring to motor down and go aboard the yacht for a cruise."

As it was. the gateman's thick- headedness cost Universal $6,000 in overhead time.

What A Pity!

Tom Barry, playwright and aú-i thor of John McCormack's forth- [coming outloud, narrates with a sob in his voice the story of a news- paperman assigned to the group ac-| companying Col. Lindbergh on his recent tour of inspection of national airways. Said newspaperman took a pet parrot along. The parrot was famed for his long and capable vocabulary. Following the tour, the bird came home. And now the only words emanating from the fool thing are:

"Boys, I've nothing to say." Oh, [Lindy, ain't you ashamed?

"This Thing Called Love"

Paul Kelly, dapper film star, is happy in his release on parole from San Quentin prison at Los Angeles, Cal., where he served 25 months of a five-year manslaughter sentence. The young actor was convicted in connection with the death of Ray Raymond, song and dance man, in the California city, husband of Dorothy Mackaye.
