HARRY RACE Druggist Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbia Cosms HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 10.—Marlene Dietrich walks out of a New York club in a huff because another woman is wearing an identical costume. She’s done it here too—once it was out of a night spot because Claire Dodd had a similar hat. At least, when Dodd walked in, Dietrich and entourage of devoted males walked out, and within three minutes. It looks, to this corner, like part of Mar-lay-nah’s constant effort to preserve her individuality. Her individuality, along with those famous gems, is all she has to sell to the screen. She’ll never take an academy award for acting, although some noted that toward the end of her Von Sternberg tutelage she was becom- ing a “two eyebrow actress” which was definitely progress. It's almost easy to predict her future, too. Sne’li make that French picture, and she’ll come back to Hollywood and be “big” again—because, actress or not, the lady has as authentic a brand of galmor as is available in these.synthetic times. . . . We'll miss Sam Pokrass around here. The fat little song- writer was a town character, incessantly talking, incesstantly playing the piano—and cleverly and beautifully. He was a roly- poly in the theatre game. They could push him down and he'd roll right up again. He took plenty of beatings before he landed in the movie chips. And for all his success, he always seemed pathetic, because physically he was a gnomish creature from a nightmare—and we thought he was conscious of it, and found his escape in constant music. . . . If you're troubled with alleged friends who consistently out- fumble you when the lunch check shows up, Brian Denlevy can be your good friend and adviser. Donlevy—that frequent bad man of the movies—has worked Try a new recipe for Good Living . . . Take your wife and family out to dinner—often. Change the daily routine with a surprise visit any day of the week at Juneau's lead- ing cafe — PERCY’S i out his own system for coping with the evil, and he claims it works. He settles the matter, before the waiter appears, by suggesting a friendly wager. You know, a little fun just between us, and the loser—he, heh!—pays. Simple wagers, too. “Bet you the check you can’t strike 20 paper matches—and get a light in one strike each.” Simple, sure. (But watch out. After a dozen perfect strikes the striker gets nervous—and the check.) Or, “Bet you I can cut a hole in a paper napkin and walk through it.” Aw, you're kiddin. No, I'm not. Well, show me. O. K., then. Waiter, a pair of scissors, please, with the check. Aw, your're still kiddin'. Snip, snip, snip. . . . “Well, pal, thanks for the lunch.” It's unfair, it's demoralizing, it'’s mortifying. But he has other angles. Such as mental tests. Name the 48 States—in ten minutes. (“Now which three did I leave out? Oh, yes—Texas, Idaho, California, dammit!”) And memory tests: whose picture is on the blue tax stamp on your cigarette package? Which Presidents’ faces are on your $5, $10, and $20 bills? (WHOSE bills?) And whose face is on what postage stamp, and so on. (Friendly tip: Take your pioblems to Donlevy — but not at lunch time!) LOCAL 514 ODD FELLOWS' HALL MEETS MONDAY 7:30 P.

Based on the story of Father Ed- | ward J Flanagan's Boys Town, lo- cated 12 miles outside of Omaha, Neb., the role of the priest whose imwmn in life is to give home and shelter to needy boys affords Spen- cer Tracy an opportunity for one | of the sincere, natural portr Is | for which he has become deservedly | famous.

Gone in this | picture is the flip, wise-cracking Andy Hardy. In his place is a| young actor whose ability to tug at the heartstrings marks him as one of the really great young pm'[orm-‘ ers of the screen. | As it stands, “Boys Town” is not | only a monument to the little com- munity and the men at its head, but is a tribute to Hollywood in recognizing such outstanding story | material in so worthwhile a setting.
