Helen, blue-eyed, blonde, 23 on July 4, has been in studio orchestras for two years, turning down offers of tests. . . . Took one at Metro when promised a period of coaching before the ordeal, and passed. . . . Now is dead-set on PBeing an actress, but won't give up music—except her orches- tra work, which is “just business.” . . . Rowland V. Lee, directing “The Sun Never Sets,” chose Vir- gina Field for the lead because “she’s perfect for it.” . .. But the reason she's perfect—which Lee may not know—is that W. P. Lipscomb, the screenplaywright, and a close friend of Virginia who was a schoclmate of his daughter's, wrote her right into the picture. Betty Fields, the New York actress from “What a Life!” is playing the high school girl heroine in the picture version opposite Jackie Cooper—and she looks more like a high school girl than any of the real high school girls recruited hereabouts for the extra roles! . . . 5 TORTURE DE LUXE: Preston Foster and William Henry are spread-eagled on the synthetic sound-stage earth, getting the knife-and-fire-works from the Apaches headed by Chief Thunder Cloud (“Geronimo” in the film of that title). . . . The camera is shooting down on the victims’ faces. . . . A prop-man puts a soft pad under Foster's head—for the camera angle. . . . Another squirts “perspiration” from a dainty atomizer. . .. Make- up “wounds” Henry's chest with fake blood. . . . And Thunder Cloud—a full-blooded Cherokee with a degree from the Univer- sity of Arizona—calls for more fire while the victims squirm. . . .

The Patterson parties are different from most lelywood affairs. . . . The difference being pointed out to me by a mutual friend as follows: “Patty is so punctilious—she invites only people she knows!” . . . Which is the neatest commentary on Hollywood parties in general I've ever heard. . .. The Dillinger picture is off the Warner schedule. . . . Too many people no likee. . .
