GRAF ZEPPELIN TO MAKE MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE The dirigible Graf Zeppelin probably will start its Mediterranean cruise March 26. The itinerary calls for a journey over France and down the Rhone to the Mediterranean and eastward over Corslca, Rome and Athens to Asia Minor. From that point the route follows the coastline to Africa and west- ward to Tunis. e e By DOROTHY HERZOG Copyright, 1929, Premier Syndicate | HOLLYWOOD.—Newspaper head- line: COLD WAVE IS FINALLY BROKEN IN SWEDEN. ‘Which caused Gregory Lacava, the direc- tor, to remark: “That must have been the day Greta Garbo arrived!” Ramblings To the Fox lot.

Sue is starring on the same Fox stage where two years ago she en- acted a bit. She recollected her flicker naivete around a huckle. Sue, even in those days sorta hank- ered to visit the set where Nick Stewart traipsed. The assistant director thereupon growled his worst growl and Sue, perforce, sub= sided. told to report back for work at 7:30. She insisted she couldn't. She had a date. “Then see the casting director,” roared the assis- tant. Sue returned. Sue, by the by, has a school chum visiting her from Canada— Martha Anderson. Martha isn't interested in pictures. For the same reason Sue wasn't two years ago. Pictures make it difficult to keep engagements at times. Sylvia Fields, erstwhile Broadway- ite, is also emoting in “The Ex- alted Flapper.” Miss Fields has moved into a liI’ house which has a garden and she does say she revels puttering around in it. Over on another stage is a for- mer German megaphoner, Berthold Viertel, directing “A One Woman Man”—title subject to change with- out apology. Rod Larocque enacts a Persian prince in this. He wears an elaborate fuzz cap which would be an excellent solution to taking home the groceries, Rod was say- ing his household has gone League of Nations.
