The Kid says that 90 per cent of the money will go into the fund. “I've immediate needs for the other 10 per cent,” he declared. At some future date Jackie and Betty Grable undoubtedly will buy or lease a house, but right now, he says, they haven't made any plans about moving from their apartment in Beverly Hills, It is very doubtful if the settlement of the suit will mean a re- conciliation of the Kid and his mother. The negotiations ended on a note of bitterness as far as Jackie is concerned. He signed the settlement only to avoid long court proceedings. Wasn’t Phil Licbman, of the eastern brewing clan, supposed to be carrying a terrific torch because Wendy Barrie refused to marry him? Well, he’s now telephoning Joy Hodges twice a week. Evidently, Charlie Chaplin has his dander up. He's just sent out a formal statement, under his own signature, denying rumors that he has abandoned his picture on dictators, “I am not worried about intimidation, censorship or anything else,” he says. “I am making a comedy picture on the lives of dictators which I hope will create much healthy laughter throughout the world.” If only Charlie made pictures as fast as the dictators make headlines.

It's a neat little place of 40 rooms. M-G-M'’s new production announcement lists Hedy Lamarr and Robert Taylor as appearing together in two pictures. The first apparently will be “Guns and Fiddles,” in which Miliza Korjus also is featured. The other is “Lady of the Tropics.” No men- tion is made of the ill-fated “I Take This Woman.” The oil tanker Caddo has been in port, which may inspire you to say “so what?” but this happens to be the boat on which Bob Montgomery worked his way to California. He was 18 then and the tanker had another name, the Albertolite. But the ship is the same. Bob paid a visit to it at San Pedro and says he got a big kick out of the sentimental journey. Contrary to the story often printed, however, the star didn’t get right off the boat and go into the movies. He had signed on for the round trip and didn’t come out to Hollywood until later. Paul Muni, they say, is sLudylng his role of Beethoven so intently that he even feigns deafness around the house, refusing to answer questions from his wife and servants. Beethoven, of course, was deaf during a large part of his career.
