THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1937 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER Page 7 ehind the Seen in - HOLLYWOOD rv HARRISON CARROLL lopvriRht, 1937 Kiog Features Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer Freddie Bartholomew in its court battle with Freddie Bar tholomew, At the mo ment that the judge handed down his deci sion, I was on the set talking to the boy who is being groomed as Freddie's suc cessor in case the final ruling goes against the studio. His name is Ronald Sinclair and te already is playing a role that ;as to have been Freddie's the youthful hero of 'Thoroughbreds Don't Cry".. Ronald was signed by M. G. M. about a month ago. He comes from New Zealand and his real name is Ra Hould. He played wlth Merle Oberon and Brian Aherne in "Beloved Enemy", and he has had stage experience. The two boys are only a month apart in age (13), and both are in the eighth grade. There is less than a half-inch difference in their heights. Other measurements are so close that Ronald is able to wear the clothes that were made for Freddie to use in the picture. Their accents are the same and their voices are remarkably sim ilar. They even brush their hair alike. Of special interest to M. G. M., there is no family problem to con tend with. Ronald's parents were with him on the set. His father, Mr. A Hould, is a rather diffident man who wears a Van Dyke beard. He and Mrs. Hould are middle aped. They hav- two daughters. One is a London actress. The other, now 17, lives with them. Ronald's parents won't say what he is earning, but they are satisfied-for the present. "I think we'll leave the lawyers out of this," Mr. Hould told me, "Then maybe we'll make a few profits." A little bewildered at the sudden spotlight in which he finds him self, Ronald hopes he'll make good. He met Freddie Bartholomew once at a party. "I liked him very much," said the boy who now is hailed as Freddie's successor on the screen. While Freddie Bartholomew was having his court troubles, Holly wood was meeting rebuff in its at tempts to secure another child star for the screen. Dolores Costello. in the midst of a film comeback herself, turned down the third offer of a screen test for si-year-old John Blythe Barrymore. Jr. "I don't think it's fair for any child to decide his cart er i'or him,'' declared the actress. Later if he wants to become an actor, it's all right with me." Grace Moore :s making emphatic denials of an item printed else where that her picture, "The King Steps Out ",' was barred in Japan because she failed to bow before the royal box in her last appear ance at Tokio. It couldn't be true, she says, because she has never been in Japan. It's odil how this story keeps cropping up about the star. Last year, about the same time, she was denying rumors that she offended King Gustav of Sweden by failing to bow before the royal box during a concert at Stockholm. On her first wedding anniversary (Sept. 27), Ann Sothern looked back on 24,000 miles of commuting between Hollywood and the towns where Roger Pryor was appearing with his orchestra. The star faces another year of the same thing. She won't be able to see Pryor, even in this fashion, until Christ mas. Chatter. . . . Quite an exciting moment when Clark Gable, ac companied by Carole Lombard, almost brushed elbows with Rhea Gable in the cocktail lounge at the Tennis club. . . . Eleanor Brooks, once a dancer with Ted Lewis' band, is in town to crash the movies. In the old days, she made George Raft's heart beat , faster. ... Glimpsed at the Pom o n a Fair: Paula Stone and George Mason and Glenda Far rell and Drew E b e r s o n. , . . And they say Hollywood is s o p h 1 sticated. . . . There's a new Merry-Go-Round in Frank Kerwin's cafe. . . . Yeah, the old one broke down. . . . Virginia Bruce's chair on the set has her name painted on the back . . . only it says Virginia Bruce Gilbert. . . . And Mrs. John Wayne is chaperoning Loretta Young on a trip to Lake Arrowhead. The attraction is Joseph Mankiewicz, who is vaca tioning there. I IB 1 i i.mIi Virginia Bruce A- R W TUT? A TT1?
