Some years ago, it was a matter of local moment that Bel-Air had opened its invisible gates to a “movie person,” one Colleen Moore, who proceeded to build a sumptuous little shack ‘of ump- teen rooms, swimming pool and other trappings. As one who al- ways figured movie people weer just about like other people, at least in their beginnings and if Hollywood didn’t “get” them, I never did see why Bel-Air was being generous, or why Colleen Moore had achieved any particular distinction in moving in, but then there are lots of matters I need to cfear up. Anyway, Bel-Air has pinty of “movie persons” now, and ths ladies of the Bel-Air garden club had their annual flower show not long ago. It was quite a show, colossal as we say in the movies, although I failed to see any exhibits from movie person- ages . What I'm getting around to saying is that Miss G. Garbo was among the customers. Miss G. came in, accompanied by a friend my spy identified as Mrs. Harrison Willlams of sartorial fame, and sat down for tea in a secluded corner of the tea-room. “Garbo’s in there,” one of the members said disinterestedly to her colleagues. “Oh, is she?” said Bel-Air collectively and sniffily, and went about its flowery affairs. This indifference continued a few moments, until one of the ladies said airily, “Well, I think Il just go by and see what she looks like.” In a little while, a casual stream of ladies, wearing oh-well-as-long-as-she’s-here expressions, had inspected Miss G. Garbo, who tea-d on, unperturbed. Of Tqre Holms; { Mr. and Mrs. Ture them last last even- of sed on Sixth and Nelson were Mr. and | d, Mr. and Mrs. John | d Mrs. M. A.

This is'a pretty thoug..c.’but .5 a peace-loving individual I dislike this passion for hair-splitting in titles. Thus guided, one no longer could blanket all hams under the charitable term “actor,” nor label “director” all those who merely stand around a set and try to follow explicit instructions in the script.” One would have to detail how much producing some producers really do, and embarrass certain “writers’ whose best signed works are checks. . A However, I'll compromise. I'll call them Directors of Pho- tography, if they’ll cal Ime something fancy like—let’s see, how would Veteran of Verbosity do? Death is sweet in Hollywood. Actors dote on dying. That's because it’s a tough job to steal a scene from a corpse-elect. “I'm a heavy,” as Akim Tamiroff observed gleefuly today, “but I've got a wonderful death scene!” There's a chap named Francis Walker who practically makes his living by dying in westerns. He gets more lead than leads— has died in 74 movies and survived only 21, in seven of which he got “shot’ ' He was ready today for his 75th demise in “Black K Rides Tonight.” i “There’s no better way to get the udience to look at you,” he said, while they smeared him with “blood” for his big moment, “and it answers the exit problem—no question about what to do with your, hands and feet when you're loaded with.
