"Of course, crime doesn't pay,"
said Bill the Burg, "unless yot let
others do the hard work."
"What do you mean by 'hard
work'T"
"Holdin' up banks or gas sta
tions. You can make a crime story
profitable without botherin' de po
lice. It'a de difference between be
in' a clerk or a bookkeeper and
drawin' dividends by runnin" a cor
respondence school."
Just Half Each
"I suppose the little wife will win
all the arguments in your house?"
"No; she'll only win half of

"Oh, you expect to win the other
half!"
"No; but my mother-in-law will."

***By VIRGINIA VALE***
FRED ASTAIRE, when he and
his wife arrived in New York
after their European vacation,
staged what may be called either
an outrageous attack of tempera
ment or a burst of completely
justified anger.
He was willing to pose for photog
raphers for newspapers and news
reels, but his wife was not. Some
body snapped her anyway ? and
Astaire proceeded to raise the roof
until he got the plate.
He explained that Mrs. Astaire
does not want publicity; that she is
not a Hollywood celebrity, but his
wife, and does not want to be any
thing else. She feels, apparently,
that the public can have no interest
in her.
Astaire would seem to be right.
And there's a question as to wheth
er he'd ever have got that plate if
he hadn't made himself very dis
agreeable in order to do so. Per
fectly calm and even-tempered peo
ple have discovered, the moment
they came into contact with the mo
tion picture business, that they
weren't taken seriously unless they
flew into a rage every so often.
Madeleine Carroll, whom you'll
see in "The General Died at Dawn,"
(that is, you'll see it
if you want to see a
swell picture) is in
pictures because she
wants to be, not be
cause she has to
earn a living.
She is the wile of
Capt. Philip Astley,
who was considered
one of the greatest
catches in England
before they were
married. At that
time she had not
made a name for
Madeleine
Carroll
herself; she was just one more girl
who was doing all right in pictures.
She went right on doing all right
in them. Hollywood discovered her,
and claimed her. Beautiful, intelli
gent, talented, she manages both
her career and her marriage very
well indeed. One thing she couldn't
manage ? she and her husband had
planned to go to their castle in
Spain last summer, and the revolu
tion spoiled their plans.
We're always hearing about the
effect that the gowns worn in pic
? ? tures have on fash
Joan Crawford
ions. So it may in
terest you girls to
know that at the
present ation of
"Fashion Futures"
at the Waldorf-As
toria in New York,
held recently by
fashion authorities,
these were among
the dresses chosen
from pictures which,
it is said, will be
modified for the rest
of us to wear this year: Joan Craw
ford's red velveteen robe, worn in
"The Gorgeous Hussy" ? it has huge
sleeves, mink reveres, and braided
cuffs and shoulders. Loretta Young's
blue challis, with shirred skirt and
sleeves and a ruffled petticoat,
worn in "Ramona." And Olivia de
Haviland's bouffant organdie, with
a pleated flounce for a hem worn in
"The Charge of the Light Brigade."
When the football broadcasts get
under way Albie Booth, who was
chosen or the All-Amerlcan team
when he played at Yale, will de
scribe them for WHN, New York.
Last fall he attended one of the
lig games in the party with yonr
correspondent. And, unlike many
men at football games, he Just
watched the game. He didn't call
plays, he didn't express opinions
about players, he didn't even say
what he thought of the game.
Jane Hamilton, RKO actress,
bought a new coupe the other day
and went into a huddle with the
salesman over having it painted a
special shade of gray. She couldn't
decide on the shade, and was think
ing it over when a gray car was
driven in.
"Well," said Jane. "I think that
color will probably do."
"It should," retorted the sales
man. "That's Clark Gable's $20,
000 Duesenberg."

An Improvement
"You are pretty dirty, Mary,"
?aid the master to his maid.
She blushed.
"Yes, sir, but I'm more pretty
when I'm clean," she said.
Unanimous
Said the young man: "Do you
think your father would object to
my marrying you?"
"I don't know," she replied
coldly. "If he's anything like me
he would."

Why Bother?
A backwoods woman of the
Middle West, the soles of whose
feet had been toughened by a life
time of shoelessness, was stand
ing in front of her cabin fireplace
one day when her husband ad
dressed her.
"You'd better move your foot,
maw; you're standin' on a live
coal."
Said the woman, nonchalantly:
"Which foot, paw?"
