Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Rabbis Coom HOLLYWOOD, Cal., May 16. ~Year's high point in amiability to fans was certainly reached by Eleanor Powell at La Junta, Colo. The dancing star, en route east. received a telegram from the board of education asking her to please make a personal appearance on the rear platform of the train. She wired back that, if they'd hnve a flatcar on the siding, she'd do even better. They did and she did. Eleanor and an Hawaiian orchestra put on a five-minute show on the flatcar while 2,000 people cheered. The star was so mobbed for autographs that the Santa Fe Chief had to be held up for a few minutes before she could get back ahoard. i Fan situation in Hollywood, however, presents its difficulties. ‘Youngsters have a habit of jumping on the running boards of stars’ automobiles. There was almost an accident the other night when one of them was nearly brushed off of Robert Taylor's car. Taylor is 5o afraid that somebody will be hurt that he has bought a new car without running boards. Eighteen-year-old Brenda Joyce gets an unprecedented break at Twentieth Century-Fox. The former co-ed, who was chosen to play the role of Fern in “The Rains Came,” is to inherit Loretta . Young's dressing room at the studio. Loretta was one of the top stars of the lot. For a newcomer to be so distinguished is almost unheard of. Brenda's dialogue coach for her first picture is a man you all know—Tom Moore, who used to be a big star himself not so many years ago. i Director Watch the closeups in “Stanley and Livingstone.” itdoesn’tmatier.... which side of the bed you get out after a breakfast at Percy’s you're sure fo be set for a big, glorious day . . . PERCY'’S Henry King is going to spring a surprise on Hollywood. The whole sereen will be taken up by the faces of the actors. The top of the head and the neck often will be cut off. Well. if any actor can stand this super closeup, it's Spencer Tracy. Don't know if you see the “Jones Family” pictures, but Jed Prouty, who plays the father, is said to have been the first man who ever sang the old classic, “Sweet Adeline,” on the stage. He was a great friend of Harry Armstrong, the author, and was chosen to introduce the number. Armstrong, incidentally, is now re- ported in a New York hospital to undergo a throat operation. After being a film house since 1927, the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre here will swing over to a stage policy to house the “Folies Bergere” show that has been such a hit at the San Francisco World's Fair. Harry Richman and Hazel Forbes have bought a house in Beverly, so it looks as if they may become permanent residen Too bad about Tess Brunson, of the Earl Carroll love- lies. She fell while ice skating and probably has a broken hip. . Jeanette MacDonald’s baggage on her concert tour included nine trunks and 21 pieces of hand luggage. . . . That was John Carroll with Jean Parker at La Conga, but it was all right. Her hushand's in New York and gave his permission. . . . Quite a neat coup by Paramount, hiring the Chinese aviatrix, Lee Ya Ching, to play a role in “Disputed Passage.” Every bit of her salary will go to Chinese war relief. . . .
