blow that was heard round the world. That's THEwhat Hollywood is calling the headline results of the sock Walter Winchell took on the jaw from Al Jolson. Just one blow was struck, and per- haps fifty million people know about it. Walter was walking down the aisle toward the ring- side of the Hollywood American Legion Stadium last Friday (boxing night in Hollywood). As he neared his seat, he passed Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler, seated in the tenth row. He claims he said : "Hello, Al." But he got no further. Al rose from his seat and aimed a heavy sock at the writer's jaw ... it landed . . . and before either of the men could throw a punch, friends stepped between them and stopped the brawl. Jolson: "My wife (Ruby Keeler) and I understand that this story that Winchell has just sold for motion pic- ture production, 'Broadway Through a Keyhole,' is be- ing called, 'The inside story of Al Jolson, Ruby Keeler and a well-known gangster in New York.' This has made my wife very unhappy and when Winchell walked down the aisle, I just saw red. I couldn't hold myself, and if I see him again, I will no doubt let him have it !" in the same spot

Winchell : "The plot of my story has no connection with Al Jolson and his wife. I am thankful it (the blow) came when it did. The advance bookings on the picture are over $300,000 as a result. It did me a flock of good (in headlines) and other places!" The "other places" are in the bank. Winchell got a check from his producer for ten G's for "extra publicity." 36 : ! !

was eleven years ago ! I had been brought from New York to design particularly for a most important and terrifically temperamental star — Pola Negri (about whom more- later) —but at the time of my arrival Pola was having a rest between pictures and my first assignment was for "The Rustle of Silk" with Anna O. and Betty Compson. Anna Q. was one of the most gracious stars for whom I ever worked and one of the most courageous, certainly. Since the accident everything she has attempted has seemed to be ill-fated. Just recently she tried a come-back via the legitimate stage and did "Hedda Gabler" in one of the Hollywood theatres. I attended the dress rehearsal which took place the night after the earthquake. The actors, stage-hands and invited members of the large audience were still shaky from the previous night's quakes. The curtain went up an hour and a half late!

ANNA Q. was to walk behind footlights and speak the

l lines of a play for the first time in her life ! The paint of the scenery was not yet dry and all the members of the cast had been warned to walk about the stage with care. Anna Q. had no time to practice wearing her dresses—most of which had long trains—so she stepped upon the stage severely handicapped. All this would have been enough to make a seasoned actress forget her lines. But on top of everything just as Anna Q. entered the scene another tremblor shook the town. The walls of the theatre creaked, several women in the audience shrieked, a piece of furniture on the stage fell over and Anna Q. clung perilously to a freshly-painted doorsill. A stage hand darted out from the wings and Madge Bellamy, that once great Fox star. When shouted to the half -paralyzed audience, "Keep your seats.

She is back, now, from a long holiday in Europe and, revivified and refreshed, with new wells of energy springing up inside her, she is ready for studio work. A star returning from a vacation is not such an amaz- ing phenomenon, you say. The boats bring them in all the time. But this was a different sort of vacation and one that involved a terrific sacrifice at the outset.

When "Smilin' Through" was completed. Norma was given two months' rest before her next picture. Upon the eve of her return to work her husband, Irving Thal- berg, came down with the flu. She immediately notified her employers that she would have to be excused from work just then because her husband needed her. Irving convalesced, suffered a relapse and then his heart began to give him trouble. Eighteen hours a day at a strenuous studio job weakens a man's resistance. Those were anxious days when Irving, fretting about things at the studio, must not be told anything which might worry him. There were rumors of studio upheavals, of political shake-ups. Rumors that Irving was being gently and neatly deposed during his enforced absence.

VV/HAT would you rather have than a free trip to Hollywood? Don't gasp! You probably think nothing in the world can top that! But, there is!

Yes, as fantastic as it seems and

sounds; there is. How about a free trip to Hollywood and a week's visit with Joan Crawford?

Joan will be glad to see you. She is all set to entertain you. She wants to take you on a dancing party at the famous Cocoanut Grove. There, she'll introduce you to movie royalty and they will be- come your friends! You'll be dated up for beach parties at Santa Monica and at Malibu. Joan will see to that. She's a grand hostess, you know. And she'll find a choice spot, just off the set, so that you can get a real close-up of her at work. Then, you will lunch with her in Metro- Gold wyn-Mayer's cafeteria. And she'll see that you meet Clark Gable and Jean Harlow and Robert Montgomery. And ALL the stars on the M-G-M lot!

What's the catch in all this?

It isn't a catch—it's a contest!

And, next month, MODERN SCREEN is going to tell you ail about it. In the No- vember issue. When you read the de-

tails, you'll agree that this is just about the best contest with the biggest prizes that has ever been held anywhere at any time! In fact, there's going to be a prize for everyone who enters the contest. And the prizes besides the first—the trio to Hollywood and the week as Joan's guest—are just as exciting.

The gal who knows all the answers—and tells 'em! Mae West and her curves and her diamonds and her love of prizefights and her priceless remarks have been publicized until there's practically nothing more to say.

People are still asking her if she is married. To which

Mae replies that she isn't now and never has been and, furthermore, there's no one scheduled, as yet, for the role of Diamond Lil's husband. Mae's next pic- ture is "I'm No Angel." She says she'd love to do the role of Catharine of Russia sometime. Will Rogers has just finished "Doctor Bull," which is a picturization of that excellent novel, "The Last

Adam." In it Rogers plays the role of a Connecticut small-town doctor. His next picture will be

"Always Tomorrow." Not long ago, Will took a day off from work to fly down to Arizona to offer a hundred dollar prize for the best calf-roping at a local rodeo. He always lunches in the Fox cafeteria, whether working or not, usually with Spencer Tracy and Director Frank Lloyd, who are his chief pals. Dressier and Wa Robert Young had himself a grand time working in "Tugboat Annie" with Marie consented to Beery. When that was completed, he hopped over to the Universal lot (M-G-M "Dance of Desire" him) to do "Saturday's Millions." Dolores Del Rio (below) is working in hair and everything. Ou Joel McCrea.

My, my. her modernistic home is a kennel for her dawg—an exact Frances Dee will play the role of the sweet, womanly Meg in RKO's "Little Women." Above you see her with Joan Bennett (Amy), Jean Parker (Beth), and Katharine Hepburn (Jo). There seems to be quite a romance between Frances and Joel

McCrea. Joel is building a honeymoon cottage on his ranch. When folks ask him questions

about it, he replies "It all de- pends on Frances." Wouldn't

these two make an ideal couple?

"Speed King" is now planned as Frances' next picture.

Photograph by Robert W. Coburn Won't Joan Bennett be lovely as that elegant little minx, Amy, of Miss Alcott's immortal work? Joan was delighted to get the role, for Amy was always her favorite character. Above you see the four girls again with Spring Byington, who plays their mother. Joan is very much in love with husband Gene

Markey, who is much better looking in real life than he is

in his photographs. They live very quietly. Papa Richard

Bennett visits them often—Joan

is his particular pet.

J. B. Scott So every day Leslie Howard went to that bank on Charing Cross near Whitehall. And every day he hoped that it wouldn't seem quite so dreary, that he wouldn't hate it quite so much, that the rebellion within him would have worn down a little. But it never did. No one, of course, could go on this way very long, giving their very youth to a thing they so completely loathed. Instinctively, all living things, be they vegetable, animal, or human, will turn to that which they need. So Leslie Howard began to write plays. One act plays. And the amateur theatrical society of the suburb in which he lived with his parents began to produce them. This pleased him. He'd always felt he could write. And he had no desire whatever to act. In fact, he was so shy that even the thought of getting up on a stage before a lot of people made him turn a little sick and cold. He's still self-conscious, as a matter of fact, famous as he is today. "I've still difficulty," he told me. "I'm still shy when I play a fairly straight part. I doubt really if I'll ever get I.

ANOTHER LANGUAGE (M-G-M)

Good. An enjoyable drama about a young wife whose married life is al- most ruined by her husband's smug, meddling and impossible family. The sisters criticize her and the jealous mother insists on continuing to rule her son's life. When the young wife speaks her mind, the mother becomes insulted and the husband sides with his family. Later he realizes his mistake and it's a happy awakening. Helen Hayes is very human as the mis- treated bride, Robert Montgomery does all right in a part that doesn't particu- larly suit him, and the late Louise Clos- ser Hale is perfect as the dominating mother. Not recommended for children.

A Plea for Animal Actors R. VIVIAN of Berkeley, Calif., I wish to voice a protest against the deliberate and planned fights be- tween animals which are becoming so common in this season's pictures. During the past two weeks, I have seen three films in which animals have been set to tear one another to pieces. When scenes of this type first ap- peared, they were said to be authen- tic; real fights which expedition cameras were accidentally on the spot to photograph. Perhaps that was true. We all know that there will be con- flicts in nature no matter what we do, but there is no excuse for pro- ducers cold-bloodedly arranging fights for these dumb beasts, just to try to reproduce so-called thrills. It is beyond understanding how people, who recoil from the abuse of animals in their daily surroundings, who willingly sign petitions to pro- hibit bull fights and the more in- human features of rodeos, can enjoy such cruel exhibitions on the screen. I'm for bigger and better animal pictures just as long as the public wants to see them, but let's hold out for a square deal for the beasts that "act'' in them. (There's a point in justification of the producers, hozvever. When such fights are "arranged," trained ani- mals are used and the fights arc not actually bloody, as the scene pre- tends, any more than fights betzveen human actors are.)

Praise for the Boys FRANCES HELMER of Forest Hills, Long Island, writes In writing my first letter to a screen magazine, I think I voice the opin- ion of a group from whom you do not hear often—those guided in their movie-going by your reviews. So, when a criticism seems prejudiced —well, it is just too bad. To be specific: The notices on "Forty-Second Street" gave well- deserved recognition to the girls' work, but, charming as they were, wasn't the acting of the more mature male players worthy of more praise? Again and again we read glowing ac- counts of the picture's beauty, its settings, the dances—and the phase that was spectacular—but what of the comedy of George Stone and his knowledge of pantomime? And how about the sincerity and vigor of Warner Baxter's playing? Most re- views dismissed him with half a line Margaret Sullavan and Perhaps the younger group of fans John Boles in a scene from BEAUTY attend movies because of the con- John M.

I remember seeing her at Palm Beach years ago. She was not yet on the screen—was in, I think, the "Follies." She was at that time merely a very pretty girl, like other pretty girls, with no particular indication that she was to develop into the beloved and bril- liant and merciful personality she is to- day. Yet she has done so. I have never heard anyone say an unkind word about Marion Davies and, therefore, I very much doubt if she says an unkind word about anyone. She has financed more people in trouble and illness than I can count. Her charities are not merely of the cold check-book kind. Anyone with means can write a check and let it go at that.

This will not tire you as the former sort will. Again, in the matter of evening clothes you will be apt to see many flounces, ruffles and frills. All right. We are having a Victorian revival. But make it good Victorian instead of a bad example of that period. Ruffles and flounces are quite O. K. when there is not too great an abundance of them. You will find that the fabrics this sea- son are the keynote of all styles. They

' are so delicately . and beautifully woven, with such unusual technique used in their compositions, that they just natur- ally bear the burden of whatever dis- tinction the costume, for whatever purpose it will fill, has to offer. This is another reason why you can afford to keep the making of the dress down to its simplest elements, giving the material a chance to show for all it is worth.

COLORS run next in importance after fabrics. There is a strong tendency to use daring combinations of tones, as a brilliant red against black; one of the new olive or reseda greens used with brown or tan. Black and white—large splashes of white under the chin—will be a high style note. And for evening, all of the brilliant hues which are known to the color chart will have full play.
