days in a costume of smartly-
tailored, abbreviated animal
skins, and is praying that some
smart Hollywood word-coiner
won't give her a suitable label,
like “The Prehistoric Peach’ or
“The Stone Age Siren.”
She is playing the role of ‘““Loana,
the Golden One” in “1000000 B. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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,

go on with it, because she wanted

She finally finished the picture—at
the old salary—and now that it is
satisfactory, rumor reports that
she'll get that salary raise,

stiff upper lip as he passed them.
“What did you do, Fred?" asked
one youngster.
“Oh, nothin," he replied casu-
