The director, Josef von Sternberg, was a disciple, if not the high priest, of the tehory. Joe had made a quickie called “Salvation Hunt- ers” which won the support of the ywing colony’s “intelligent- iven before that, showman that he was, he had made it his business to be as spectacularly in- sulting as possible to the right people “I've just emies,” he made five new en- once chuckled, confi- dentialy, to some cronies. It was Pola Negri's own idea, ‘apparently, as she came before Joe. Her battle with Gloria Swanson became Hollywood legend. Pola’s campaign, as she admitted private- 1y when pressed, was logical. “There are many girls in Hollywood prettier than Negri—so Negri must be dif- ferent!” But Marlene Dietrich, who can |be as sweet as pi¢ when she wants {to be, undoubtedly took instruction |direct from her mentor, von Stern- berg. That director set her off beauti- fully at a studio luncheon present- ing her to the assembled press. “Miss Dietrich,” he remarked in effect, “is not only beautiful but is far more intelligent than any- one here present.” Just Reputation Miss Dietrich’s popularity or lack of it with many members of the correspondent corps, especially the feminine contingent, may be said to date from that moment, but in subsequent years she has shown herself t6 be an apt pupil.

I didn't believe it either | when I first heard about it, but af- ter talking with people who are usually relaibly informed ‘on such matters there isn’t anything for me to do but believe it. Let’s analyze the story anyway. Some time ago, it seems, a special gymnasium opened in the midtown sector. They specialized in shaving off extra poundage, and one of the claims was a mon back guarantee if the fat didn't fade, and right where you wanted it to fade. To make it even more alluring they instituted the little custom of having their clients’ sults pressed, r | i by Joan Blondell, as a smart girl reporter who takes keen professi al pride in her job. The story revolves around death, under mysterious circum- ances, of a millionaire. This be- comes known, through an anony- mous letter, to Pat O'Brien, editor of a metropolitan tabloid paper. Sensing sensational news, he signs his star reporter to inve gate. Amassing a damaging amount of circumstantial evidence, the widow of the seemingly murdered man, portrayed by Margaret Lind- say, is brought to trial. Refusing to enter any defense to the charge, she is found guilty, chiefly on the strength of the stories unearthed by the news sleut! the news- Yes, sir, he'd tell the world what a wonderful thing they .were doing for business men who were too concerned with world affairs to take the proper exercise.

He couldn’t understand a thing like that, the coat being new. He picked it up and looked at it. Suddenly berserk, a wild gleam in his eyes, he flung the coat on the floor and jumped up and down on it. Then he called the police.
