IOOKS as if Catherine Hepburn might be married by the
^ time you read this. It was reported some time ago that she
might wed Leland Hayward, the high-pressure literary agent
who sells Hollywood so many stories; the only difficulty was
that he had a wife. Now this wife has a divorce, and at the mo

and Mr. Hayward are on their
way East. ? '
Evidently Ann Harding is
through with pictures, at last,
arid she won't be sorry. She
went on making them because
it was a chance to make plenty
of money and she has a young
daughter to support. But she's
alway s p^eferred the stage. Now,
after taking a long vacation to
recuperate from the Illness brought
on by exposure to the lights during
her picture work, she may turn to
the stage again.
Harry Bannister was most atten
tive during her Illness; possibly
this Hollywood-separated marriage
will be patched up after Anne leaves
California.
.
That very happy couple, Margaret
Churchill and George O'Brien, are
separated, but not with their con-,
sent. After thelf return to New
Yqjrk following the death of their
baby, he rushed back#to California
to appear In MA Man's a Man," and
she remained in New York to act in
a stage play. She made her name
on' the Stage, of course, and It's not.
unreasonable to suppose that she'd
like to keep the theatrical public
from forgetting her.

Contradictory stories drift around
ejwut Billy Burke. We're told that
she looks younger and prettier every
ifidfniriVlind ie likely to be a star
any day. And ws'rs told that she's
getting sort of old and Jittery and
almost drives the rest of the com
pany mad by forgetting her lines, If
she has mors than a sentence .to
say at a time. ?
I'd spilt the? difference and say
that shs's a delightful actress who
ought to go far, even though she's
no longer young. ' -

Margaret Sullavan is new Mrs.
William Meyler, as you no doubt
have seen by your daily paper.
Thatvs rather funny, for he's an ace
director (and directors, along with
the rest-of Hollywood, eat and
breathe pictures) and she used to
feel that the movies were" just one
way of making a living, and a not
very attractive one at that.

Kelti GaMon, a European importa
tion, thought she'd go home after fin
ishing "Marie Gallante." She'd been
around the Fox studio quite a while,
and the general opinion seemed io be
that she was just one more girl from
Europe and what of it?
*Marie Gallante" turned out to be q
x sort of triumph for her, and now the'*
headed for Hollywood and more pic
tures. .

Apparently Rudy Vailee had a lot
of fun picking out that list of the
ten most beautiful girls In Holly
wood?only he chose twelve!?but
the fact that he pnt Alice Faye at
the head of It sort of discount* all
the others.
Of course, he said that Miss Faye
was the most beautiful blonde and
she used to be a brunette, so per
haps he thought that gave him an
Alibi. But he's stirred up? a storm
like the one roused years ago when
Una Basquette was Included among
the list of Wampas Baby Stars.

In "The Miracle," In a picture called
."The Brave Live On." But, accord
ing to some of her friends, you may
not see her In many more pictures,
whether you like her well enough
to make the studio keep working
her or not For, according to those
same friends, she's one of those peo

The United States Is the only
country wher^ It is Illegal to have
gold. No country limits silver pos

laws against boarding In large
amounts. In England, for example,
one should not 'have a hoard of
more than $50,000. France and
Germany frown on gold hoarding,
'but do not forbid the possession of
reasonable amounts.

Old Monte Alban Ball
? Park May Tell Tales

Will America's football stadiums
and baseball diamonds become Im
portant aids to understanding our
Civilization a thousand years or so
from now? asks the writer of a bsl*; fl
let In from Science Service. This
comes to mind, be says, with the
news that archeologlsts In Mexico
have placed the age of a seemingly
ageless city by taking note of Its ball
games. s v
; Tbe olty la the famous Monte Al-1
ban. today a maze of burled ruins
perched on a mountain ridge. Monte
Alban gained Its widest modern^
fame when Mexican archeologlsts
entered a tomb there and found a
group of prehistoric dignitaries
biirled In shining golden regalia. I
But to tfie archeologlsts, whose first
question about a place Is "How? I
old ta it?" Monte Alban remained
a mystery, Tne treasure tomb digb 1
cbvery added to tbe enigma, for It
atas "foreign" cache belonging to an
other culture deposited tbers for
some reason not yet /discovered.
Dated, tombs are being found In
iMonte Alban, hut archeologlsts can
hot yet read Zapotec Indian hiero
glyphs, as they can Aztec and Mayan
ones. Excavations of three seasons
seemed to throw the dead city fur
ther and farther back in time with
out a definite due as to when it was
a living metropolis. Now there Is a
clue. This Is a tlachtli, or ball court.
.TlachtU was a Widespread Indian
game played apparently for both
sport and religion. Frans Blom,
archeologlsi" of Tulane university,'
hm found ban charts In Mayan
cities dating Worn early centuries oi
the Christian era: In Chiapas and
Guatemala. They game changed
somewhat in the Course of ten or
flftedh centuries, to Judge the

All courts have an B-ahaped space

Souths had several round altars lr

courts lost their-altars as centuries
went by, their side walls became
vertical, and big atone rings wore

through. The Monte 'Alban court
seems to fall between these types, as

that Monte Alban was occupied a

Illicit Drug Profits
>1 The most profitable business in
the VprM today Is the handling of
Illicit narcotics. The manufacturer
of heroin, for Instance, makes It fot
125 a pound and aells It to ht^a dis
tributor* for $1,225, which Is a profit >
of 4300 per cent The Ohttrlbutorsff
In turn sell It In a&ali quantities to
consumers at the rate of $125,000 a
pound, which Is a profit for them of
moire than 10.000 per cent. The cost
to the user consequently is one-half
million per cent of the manufactur
