You ought to have remembered that Joe planned “Rio” for Danielle Darrieux— but had nothing to do with the picture made when Danielle couldn’'t come over. Stupid, to say things like that about Joe. . . . Tell Clark Gable where you buy your suits. He ought to ap- preciate it, eomplaining as he was in “Boom Town" about that safety pin in his coat collar—the ene they pinned there to mar the perfect fit so he would be in character as a new-rich oil man. “Wardrobe,” said Clark, “is so used to turning out perfect clothes they forget to botch them a little for character stuff. This suit— without the collar pin—is one I could wear anywhere.” Can you make something of the fact that Bing Crosby had to have a voice double in “If T Had My Way?” No, you guess not—you would have to explain that the dubbing was done for a deep-odwn bass laugh, mock-villainous, when Bing couldn't hit the low notes to suit David Butler. Butler, the director, hit 'em himself, suiting Butler fine. (But Gloria Jean still thinks Bing is WONDERFUL!) Speaking of Gloria—can you figure out why Basil Rathbone holds such a fatal appeal for women? The guy is Miss Jean's idol—she squealed with delight when Bing gave her a medallion decorated with a profile of Rathbone. Gloria thinks Basil Rath- bone is WONDERFUL, & Get whimsical, why don’t you? Do a piece about-the man who carries time in a bucket—ageing new sets to make them look old. Or the man who brings Spring to Hollywood in paper bags —full of synthetic apple blossoms to hang on prop trees.

Ts that bigamy, or what? Would you like some figures? No, you lug, I don't mean THAT kind. I mean the kind the Film Daily Year Book, just out, supplies. Like this: Hollywood spent tbout $165,000,000 (estimated) on movie production for the 1939-40 season—had 458 acters under term contract—paid its approximately 10,000 registered .extras a otal of $3,124,671—but the average extra worked not quite 30 days in 1939, and his average individual earnings were $316.26 (which buys no caviar, champagne, or chinchilla) And (if you care) there are 17,003 movie theatres operating in the U. S, with another 2,029 closed. And of these 10,031 have a “double feature policy,”—which leaves fairly little comfort for fugitives from protracted, tortuous, marathon sitting. And there are more double feature theatres in the northeast than anywhere else, fewer in the south—which ought to make it true what they say about Dixie. Had enpugh figures? I thought so! y
