HOLLYWOOD, Ca. Pete came from the lands to Hollywood and abunidant life. Pete has earned it, will tell you. The manager, Ralph T. Luxford, has earned it, tco. Or did you ever try to train a penguin? Pete recently celebrated his third birthday as a personage unique in Hollywood, perhaps in the world. At least Luxford knows of no other trained penguin anywhere, and cer- tainly of no other in pictures. Luxford is as striking an individ- ual as Pete. He—Luxford. not Pete —wears a fringe of old-fashioned "B beard, stretching from ear to ear by way of his chin, and on his head is a visored sailor's cap, baring the inscription. “Penguin Pete.” He ar- rives at the studio each day with Pete on one arm, and a large therm- ajug, labeled “Pete’s Dinnerpail” on the other. Penguin Diet In the jug are morsels upon which Pete, a stern dieter, insists. He likes O 1 cm' CouGHS 4o Qulékly. chukcu without ‘‘dosing” FOR STROLL in Palm Beach, Georgette Whelan of New York wore shoulder-strap skict. only frozen fish, and eats only the tilets. Luxford obliges, as part of his minute attentions to Pete’s health The life expectancy of the average captive penguin, he from €ix to 14 months. But with the sort of care Luxford gives him, Pete shouid live from six to 20 years. When Pete works before the cam- —and “Little Miss Broadway’ with Shirley Temp marks his sixth cinema appearance—he gets day. Between pictures he ates in his penthouse pal- ace—eight feet above his private swimming pool—ai Hermosa Beach It was in Hermosa Beach that Lux- ford, formerly a sailor but then a florist and pet-dealer, used to have Pete pull a little cart advertising his store—and it was there that Slim Summerville saw Pete and ad- vised a Hollywood career. Pete has appeared in “The Big Shot,” “Stand In,” “The Goldwyn Follies” and ulldog Drummond Strikes Back.” Heavily Insured of Pete’s unique value, Luxford has the bird insured for $5,000. Lloyds of London insisted that Pete's footprints be recorded as a prerequisite to issuing the pol- icy. No other penguinly demise will collect. The studio also has Pete insured, for $50,000. ————————— is the more a his manager Because Benjamin Frankiin, statesman, scientist, and diplomat, considered himself first of all a printer.

Reason: As soon as the bears pop out of their dens this spring, a couple of cubs similar to those in “Tundra” will be captured for use in “Golden River” — in one scene of which Webster will be “drunk” and with honey on his face, will be sub- jected to a “licking” from a honey- loving cub bear—which scene Web- !ster is admittedly not crazy about. Producer Norman Dawn has warned Webster that occasionally a cub bear (playful ordinarily, but high strung and sharp of tooth) |will interrupt his “licking” with a ttle snap of his teeth.” “Maybe I can find a stand-in | for that part,” Webster said hope- fully today. to is being of S eee — LEGION TONIGHT Adoption of the revised consti- tution and by-laws will be the principle order of business at the regular meeting of Alford John | Bradford Post, American Legion, to- |night and Commander Walter |Bacon asks that all Legionnaires /be on hand as complete under- standing and discussion of some of the provisions is necessary.
