Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons HOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 15—It happened at a small, exceed- ingly star-studded dinner.” Norma Shearer and George Raft were among the twinklers present. Since he became Norma's steady company, George has been exposed to large shots of culture, an item which concerned him little in his pre-Shearer days. Among thé places Norma has taken him is the Huntington Library, Pasadena’s famed center of art and literature. At orie point in the evening George, the ex-hoofer and ex- pugilist, found himself launched on a serious discourse on art. He talked of “traditionals"and “modefns,” of classicists and neo- classicists, of Picasso and Sir Joshua Reynolds and Gainsborotigh and Whistler, and he finally talked himself out, leaving a lull in the conversation. Through the deep. silence broke finally the voice of Barbara Stanwyck, 'across the table. “George,” said the'earthy Stanwyck, “do you mind if I say, ‘Aw, nuts!"?” | | | | The South seems to have won the civil wa at the box-office. “Gone With the Wind” is headed apparently for an alltime high gross, while “Abe Lincoln in Illinois” isn’t measuring up to hopes held for it. ¥ ) There’s a tradition in the movies that no picture about Lin- coln can be a real hit, and it must be tfie because the Raymond Massey picture is the finest Lincoln picture yet delivered.

May be Ordered Removed The Secretary of War Wwill' have the right to order the removal or alteration of a trap, at the owner's expense, at any time it is deemed dangerous to navigation or that the Government requires the area for other purposes. Traps must be removed within 30 days after their| abandonment or expiration of the permit. Exact date of the completion of a fish trap must be communicat- ed to the District Engineer at Jeast 10 days before the fishing season opens. X The War Department permit merely expresses the assent of the Federal Government so far as it concerns the public rights of navi- gation. The permit does not give a property right or exclusive privi- legé.
