★★★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.

“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.
