C.,” the picture of cave man days which Griffith is producing. “I'm studying English, French and Italian,” remarked Carole the other . day. “And I've studied voice for years. I sang with orchestras before I entered motion pictures. Honest- ly, 1 can do a few other things be- sides wearing a skimpy fur cos- tume. This pic- ture is a lot of fun and I'm tickled that I got the role. But after it's over I want people to sort of forget that I was the girl in the animal skins.” She’s right. Motion picture his- tory shows that, once an actress ac- quires fame by cavorting around clad in a trick costume, the impres- sion gets about that she'd be lost in something snappy in evening gowns, Take Dorothy Lamour, for instance, Getting out of that sarong in which she became famous on the screen is like extricating one’s self from a straitjacket. 1 Carole Landis Hollywood has laughed at Mayor LaGuardia, of New York, for urging that the motion picture industry be transported bodily to New York. But recently Ernst Lubitsch, who di- rected Garbo in ‘‘Ninotchka,” and William Dieterle, who directed Marlene Dietrich in ““Destry Rides Again,” called on the mayor and had a long talk with him. Not long before that, King Vidor, equally well known as a director, had a long visit with him. All insisted that the calls were just social, but it seems likely that there has been some dis- cussion about bringing the movies back where they came from. cress Chester Lauck and Norris Goff, better known as Lum and Abner of the air waves, have signed up to star in a picture that will be re- leased by RKO. cnn Rudy Vallee's new air show will make its debut March 7, via the NBC red network, but it has not yet been determined whether it will precede or follow Bing Crosby's “Music Hall” The preceding half hour will be open, as_ ‘Good News” will be cut in half by that time, and the sponsor of the “Music Hall” will be the one to make the final decision, since the Vallee program will be backed by the same organization. smn Don Kelley, publicity and promo- tion director at Station WLS, Chi- cago, recently sent a ‘‘singing tele- gram’ to George Biggar, now at WLW, on his birthday. A girl at the telegraph office in Cincinnati sang “Happy Birthday” to Biggar over the wire, and was promptly invited to audition for a radio job. semen Famed vaudeville artists of other years, who have practically disap- Rudy Vallee cause of the onrush of the movies and radio, will be given an oppor- tunity to entertain a greater public than they ever dreamed of. Al Pearce, air-wave master of cere- monies and comedian, has inaugu- rated a policy of presenting to the radio audiences each week a dif- ferent vaudeville personality as a feature of the "Al Pearce and His Gang’’ broadcast. The guest artist will present his particular specialty s a distinct part of the half-hour program. Concerned over the marital trou- bles of Eve Stanley in “When a Girl Marries” (played by Irene Winston), a young Oklahoman sent her a pro- posal, offering her a home and a husband’s protection on his farm. sss “I Take This Woman," which caused so much news that wasn’t pleasant. Spencer Tracy co-starred with her in it, and it was shelved last June, unfinished. Miss Lamarr refused to go on with it, because she wanted more money. She finally finished the picture—at the old salary—and now that it is satisfactory, rumor reports that she'll get that salary raise, Events (WNU Service) GEE , 515 WAY WHILE YES, COLONEL — By J.
