STARTS TONIGHT I THEATRE. Show Place of Juneau EW YORK' } with AS. BICKFORD (:Z.‘H Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbia Cooms HOLLYWOOD, Cal., March 22.—Here’s really one for the book. When H 1 Hawks remakes “The Front Page” for Columbia, the character of Hildy Johnson will be changed from a man to a woman. sir, and they say that the lines spoken by the ve- porter here practically can be read “as is” by a girl. This announcement ought to set Hollywood on its heels for the Hecht-MacArthur melodrama was the most famous of the news- paper stories and has been imitated countless times. From the film company’s point of view, the advantage of the switch is obvious. Cary Grant is to play the demon managing editor, Walter Burns, and this will throw the conflict of the story belween a man dnd woman instead of two men—an obvious im- provement for a movie plot. Understand Carcle Lombard, Irene Dunne and Loretta Young all have been discussed for the woman's role. Our vote goes to Carole—if they can get her. Yes, The Blackfeet Indians imported for Shirley Temple's “Susan- nah of the Mounties” are fascinated by Hollywood boulevard and the studio allows them to go on regular expeditions there—accompanied by guards to see them through the crowds and to protect their costumes from being pulled apart by souvenir hunters. The Indians have come through intact but, on' the last trip, one of the guards had his pocket picked. ‘With other studios planning premieres of pictures all over the country, Twentieth Century-Fox steals a march and cops the best promotion stunt of them all—a preview of “Alexander Graham Bell” on the grounds of the world’s fair in San Francisco. Event frrrr e -— we’rein a rut—- and darned glad of it . . . it doesn't matter to us what happens or who is kicking up a fuss . . . we just go right on serving the best meals in Juneau. \ Percy’s is slated for March 29 and the cosmopolitan production will be the first picture ever previewed at a world's fair. I : | Mrs. Ruth Withers, mother of Jane Withers, is having too much bad luck. 'The other day, on the set of “Police School,” she was bitten by a black widow spider and now she’s confined to her bed with an attack of appendicitis. It's the first time she’s ever missed being on the set when Jane was working. When the Jack Bennys adopt their second child, it will be a boy and under four months old. They took their daughter, Jean, now four, at the tender age of one month. Add to Hollywood oddities: Barbara O'Neill, who plays Scarlett O’Hara’s mother in “G. W. T. W.”, is only 28. The youthful Miss O'Neill also played Wayne Morris’ mother in “Love, Honor and Behave.” The birth ofMaureen O'Sullivan’s baby will bring both her parents to Hollywood—the first time she has entertained them here together. Maureen’s father is Maj. Charles J. O’Sullivan of Dublin, Ireland. Mafty and his lads are the town's musical sensation at the Cafe Lamaze . . . Marilynn Hope, the beauty picked up by the photographers as the ideal movie star type, is standin for another beauty who's not such a bad movie star type ‘herself—Hedy Lamarr .. .'Earl Carroll's beginning to switch the numbers in his show. Yea and Tanya will replace the dance team of Harrison and Fisher, who go to Broadway for a musical . .. Judith Allen will turn real estate woman by building houses on six acres she owns in the valley . . . And C. Henry Gordon gave Twentieth Century- Fox its biggest scare in months. He went on location with “The Return of the Cisco Kid” and rode a horse all day before they discovered he'd undergone an appendectomy three weeks before.
