J, conNoms MoTor COMPANY Hollywood Sights And Souml; By Robbin Coons. 5 HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. 14—The local social spotlight focused brightly the other eve on one Maxwell Everett Rosen- bloom, sometimes known as Slapsy Maxie. ‘Mr. Rosenbloom; it must be admmed had quite a bit to do with the focusing, even though normally he is a shy violet in this forest of exhibitionists. ..fl'M bevasion was the gala world premiere (to end premieres) of Slapsy Maxie's latest short subject, his first but not—unfortun- ately?—his last, “Slapsy Maxie’s” The, setting, of picture and premiere, was Maxie’s night club on Beverly Boulevard, ah estab- lishment made famous when Maxie slapped on a §~cent cover charge, as he explained, to “keep the riff-raff out.” The Setting, of course, was exactly right. Maxie had been reading about movies being “premiered” in their actual semngs. so what more fitting than that Maxie's first starrer, which takes place—for a couple of scenes—in Slapsy Maxie’s, should be un- veiled on the spot where it wasn't made? So the lights and cops were out, and the mobs came to prove that local mobs will come to anytHing that has a light 'in front. Outside the @oor was a table loaded with dark glasses, for “tired picture watchers,” and another equipped with headache tablets —_antidote for the after-effects of Maxie's acting: - Also on display was the old, once lush car that was to be given -away, plus assorted lures like bank night, bingo, and free dishes. Inside Mine Host Maxie wore a light grey suit and a worried air. The Iatter was occasioned probably by the “house”—either becguse it wasn't big enough to hold the invited mobs, or be- catise the drinks were on it.

When a rival star obtains more. publicity from a romance with a nobleman, Annabel, not to be out- | done, orders her publicity man to find her a titled foreigner. various tricks, the press agent man- ages to create a synthetic love | European writer who is visiting their hotel.

However, Annabel actually falls in love with the author, and she decides to forsake her art for matri- !mony, thus ruining her studio’s plans. Oakie’s efforts to break up the romance, persuade the star to \go through with her personal ap- pearance tour, and resume her pro- | fessional career, are among the laughable complications in the pic- | ture, leading to surprises, suspense and hilarious. comedy. e (ONVI(TIONS OF FOUR KIDNAPERS i UPHELD BY COURT Dr. Berry of Olympla and, | Three Confederales Must Serve Life | OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 14—The !

(OK. Maxie, where’s Else?) This much, however, can be honestly conceded. -Maxie is a smart cormiedian. In his picture, as in RKis “Iloor show,” he makes himself the butt for laughter, capitalizing on his dumb pan and his (or his script-writer’s) talent for Goldwynisis, such as: “I have an ‘infection for you.” As Maxie goes into his stdge dct, which ish't’ ofie, there is a constant barrage of interruptions, funniest of whith 1s by & dis- gusted waiter who throws up his hands, despa | and - walks to the kitchen shouting, “Night after night, I h,gvg h Histén to this!” At one point a huge sign is paraded between Maxfe and audience, thus: “Motion Pictures are your best entertainment, AFTER all!” which is good for a howl.
