AROUND HOLLYWOOD

ELEPHANTS' GRAVEYARD IS JUST A MYTH

Hollywood.

One of the better unofficial reporters of the Hollywood scene is a woman named Brenda Marshall. She also happens to be Mrs William Holden, so when anything happens involving him, she's usually the first to tell about it.

When the Holdens are apart for any reason, they write like eager pen pals. In his last letter, according to the keeper of the home fires, he found he might have to revise his thinking about the dog being man's best friend. A lot must be said for the elephant, particularly in Ceylon, he wrote.

"The movie will show how the Ceylon or Asian elephant differs from the African elephant-he has a more pro truding forehead. sinoother trunk and ears that are smaller and better farmed.”
