STAR ! | DUST | * Movie • Radio * ★ ★ ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE*^ IT LOOKS more and more likely that Paramount and RKO will merge in the not-so distant future, which will mean another of those upheavals that take place every so often in the motion picture business. It’s rather like shuttling & pack of cards; the same men bob up over and over. | And, curiously enough, some of those men are not too competent, i One of the big shots who gets Im portant Jobs, over and over, has consistently been a company wreck , er. (Incidentally, he’s not among the Paramount-BKO assortment!) Yet when one company lets him out, another one takes him on. Olivia de Haviland, who has climbed to the top so rapidly since sne appeared in “M1 d s u m m e r Night’s Dream,” remarked the oth er day she had tied up her income in a trust fund, al lowing herself only I $250 a week, (wise girl!) and that, furthermore, she’d spend her spare time between pic tures In her home town, Saratoga, Calif., because Olivia de Haviland meres notning use a small town where you know everybody to de flate your ego. “Show Boat” may be pretty hard on your pocket book, because you’re going to want to see it over and over again. Compared with the stage play and the screen version made years ago, it comes out on top. A hardened movie goer who had never liked Helen Morgan, a man who had seen her at night clubs and on the stage, capitulated when he heard her sing "My Bill.” Another said he felt as If he’d nev er heard "Old Man River” till Paul Robeson sang it this time. —★— A new series of historical shorts Is under way, and it’s about time! Most of us remember what we see ; on the screen, so this ought to be the best possible method of teaching children history. The first one, “Song of the Nation,’’ dramatizes the writing of “The Star Spangled Banner,” and It’s finished. Some of the other subjects are Lincoln’s boyhood, the fall of the Alamo, the ‘drawing up of the Declaration of Independence, the Louisiana Pur chase and the duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. —★— Anna Sten, whose movie career went up like a skyrocket and came down like the rocket's stick, has returned from Europe, where she made a picture. No announcements yet about her making any more over here. ifA < A lot of the movie stars of earlier days will be seen in the picture, “Hollywood Boulevard’; some of them have been slowly coming back to pictures,, others have merely wanted to. Lea trice Joy had a test the other day. And one company has been dickering with Theda Bara, but she wants lots and lots of money. •’ Speaking of old-timers, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., has Just about de cided not to make pictures any more; all the talk about “Marco Polo” has come to nothing. He ad mits that he’s been away too long, i that picture-making has progressed too rapidly for him. -★ Fred Astaire has finally got things fixed to suit him. Prom now on Fred Astaire ne 11 make just two pictures a year. And Ginger Rogers (who’s had some very smart new sandals named for her, incidentally,) will have a chance to go dramatic in some of the ones she makes without him. She Insists that she doesn’t want to be nothing but a dancer, and she’s right. She should have a chance to show her other talents In acting and to develop them further in pictures. —*— ODDS AND ENDS . . . Harriet Hil liard will travel to California soon to play one of the leads in “Count Pete” . . . Ginger Rogers has a song—“l Can't Understand Can't Understand Me" words and making —Curiosa Americana— ♦ ♦ ♦ By Elmo Scott Wataon “She-Money” AMONG bank-tellers two-dollar bills are known as “she money.” To most people they’re a synonym for "bad luck.” This superstition is usually attributed to race-track men and is said to go back about a half century. According to one story, a certain bookie lost everything but his shoes on the races and traced his bad luck to the day when he wagered a two-dollar bill on a certain horse. That story got around and soon all racetrack men began believing that these bills were Jonahs. Another story traces it back to Pythagoras who more than 2,500 years ago declared: “The number two is the symbol of diversity, of inequality, of division and of sep aration. Two is an evil principle, a number of bad augury, characteriz ing disorder, confusion and change.” Anyway, few people like to be given a two-dollar bill. The ex ceptions are paymasters in mills, factories, etc., who pay wages such as $12, $14 and the like. A pay master who pays off a lot of $12-a week workers can save himself a lot of extra motion by reaching for a $2 bill instead of two ones to add to the $10 bill or two fives. In fact, with 1,000 workers he saves Just 1,000 extra motions. So paymas ters are about the only people who ask for these bills at banks. Few banks will give you $2 notes unless you ask for them. One rea son Is that they are easily confused with $1 bills and handed out as such. That’s why they’re called “she money”—they confuse you and cost you money 1 Annoyances WHAT annoys yon most? If your reactions are similar to those of more than 200 people ex amined by Hulsey Cason, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, the most annoying thing that can happen to you Is to have a person cough In your face. Next Is the sight of a dirty bed, next Is to hear a mosquito near you when you are trying to go to sleep and the others. In the order of their Im portance, are: A young person showing disre spect for a much older person. Flies. A person continually complaining about something. ' To have a hole in your stocking or sock. A person continually criticizing something. A salesman trying to force you to buy something. A person behaving as If he (or she) thinks he (or she) knows It all. A person being inquisitive about your personal affairs. To be disconnected while talking over the telephone. To have to wait for a person who Is late for an engagement To hear a person eating soup noisily. A person continually talking about his (or her) Illnesses. To see a boisterous person at tracting attention to himself (or herself) in public. A person giving you a good deal of advice when you have not asked him (or her) for It. A person putting his (or her) Hands on you unnecessarily. Buffalo Trackers THE buffalo have long since van ished from east of the Missis sippi but the state of Indiana has three official "buffalo trackers.” They are George R. Wilson of In dianapolis, John Chappell of Pet ersburg and Lew O'Bannon of Cory don, appointed by the governor of the Hoosler state, complying with an act to search for “the buffalo trace” leading from the Ohio to the Wabash so that the trail may be come a state memorial. The law says that the buffaloes, In their periodic migrations from the Ohio to the Wabash, made a trace that was used by Indians, ex plorers and pioneers and It “should be preserved as a lasting memorial to the daring and notable achieve ments of the pioneer settlers of the state.” Messrs. Wilson, Chappell and O’Bannon have the power to administer oaths and compel the at tendance of witnesses, even though It Is doubtful If anyone who saw the movements of the buffalo is alive today. Anyway, the commissioners are to use any means In their power to determine the exact route of the vanished herds and make a report to the governor, accompanied by mbps and drawings. The trace will then be taken over by the highway department and Indiana’s “buffalo trackers,” the only officials of the kind in the country, will follow their ghostly game Into oblivion. • Western Newspaper Union.
