What price glory? Hollywood is famous for its ex-royalty and former dignitaries cking out an existence in the movies.

During the making of Warner Baxter's lateat Fox pic- ture, "Hell in the Heavens", which comes on Sunday to the King's Theatre, an autographed photo of Baron von Richtofen, famous German war ace, was needed for a secno. Naturally Director John Blystone and Producer Al Rockett wanted tha authentic thing. After much scurry- ing about the property department discovered that there are but six real personally autographed pletures of Richtofen in the world, and two of them are in lollywood. The first owner was approached for, the loan of his treasure, but he wouldn't even Isten to any proposition: The second was very reluctant. Finally he agreed to lend it for two days' shooting, at $10 per day. Prominent in the cast of "Hell in the leavena" are Conchita Montenegro, Russell Hardle, Ralph Morgen. Horbert Mundin. Vince Bornett, Andy Devine, William Stack, J. Carrol Naisb, William Stelling and Vincent Carato.

When they graduate they carry their feud and their collegiate ideas over into the department storo business. Under the impetus furnished by Penner, Ross and Oakie, their respective do partment stores are gradually trans- formed into campuses with girls, bands and football team.A. The big football game between the competing stores aerves to bring the two rivais together and to convince them that they have been inving the wrong girls. With their romantic dificulties settled,

e dispute is at an end.
