ODD REQUESTS

(By BRIAN YOUNG) Holywood film fans have figured out a new racket by which they ask their favourite stars to ask the other

In this some fans feel their re- quests will win quicker response..

Eleanor Powell announces that since she started rehearsing for: "Broadway Melody of 1937," she has received dozens of requests trom her own fans, asking if she could get them autographed ple- tures of Fred Astaire,

"The odd part about this," says Eleanor, "is the fact that I've never met Mr. Astaire. so I can only forward the requests by the regular route."

Because she is going to work with

He edited the "Birds and Bees" column for an important newspaper.

"Putting on make-up takes away a great deal of the glamour for me," she continued: When man is made-up you have a con- stant reminder that he is just playing a part."

She confided that she would rather have Charles Laughton make love to her on the screen

So, wifelike, she took the bull by the horns one day, butted into his business, even took it over, and then things began to happen- thick and fast..

That, in brief, is the story of "Mind Your Own Business,” the thoroughly delightful domestic comedy with "Charlie Ruggles and Alice Brady, which opens at the Queen's Theatre to-day.

The cast includes Lye Talbot. Jack La Rue, Bennie Bakeṛ, and Frankle Darro.

FAIR WARNING

When pretty Betty Furness and handsome John Howard Payne' ar- rive simultaneously at the fashion- able resort of Death Valley, love strikes as first sight, but at the same instant unseen death strikes -once, twice and again, in the thrilling Philip Wylle mystery story, "Fair. Warning." Twentieth Century-Fox film adapted by Nor- man. Foster which is showing at the Alhambra Theatre to-day.

A story of secret murder and sudden romance in Death Valley's millionaire playground, the #m features J. Edward Bromberg as the world's most embarrassed detective, faced by a startling crime and just sure he can't solve a thing. Victor Killan and Billy Butrud are featured in the cast, which includes eight millionaires, the latter guests of the resort which served as background for the story.
