HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 12—One of the agreeable things about the majority of night club artists is their ability to take advantage of the jibes, usually amateurish, of hecklers. There was one of the boys in the Grove the other eve, trying | to run competition to the talented Georgia peach, Jane Pickens, and the orchestra maestro, Eddy Duckin. . With a few too many inside, the boor was trying to express distaste for the show, al- though the audience obviously liked it. His remarks were loud and pointed, and drew disapproving shushes. Miss Pickens, who mimics and sings in a beautifully trained soprano, proceeded blithely through four encores. Later, when Eddy took to the piano and played “Stardust,” then asked for requests, the show-off ‘yelled “Stardust.” Eddy is a turner-asider rather than an ignorer. “I just finished it,” he protested elaborately. He did, and pretty soon the heckler departed. | | “I'll try again.” All maestros have to contend more or less with the same sort of situation. Rudy Vallee was until recently the target of much alleged wit, sometimes of fistic attacks. The late Jean Malin, who was an m. c. minus orchetra, used to invite cus- tomer taunts — the better to insult ’em in rturn. But that was part of his act. Eddy Duchin, an agreeable young man, tells me the other evening’s incident was nothing by comparison to another he In respomse to his call for requests, a patron experienced. Eddy shouted, “Give us a march—and well all marchh out!” PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT ® sTop at PERCY’S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Junequ is talking about.

Miss Pickens added her heckler to her book of experience. “You learn to take it, in work like this and on the stage,” she “It's part of our schooling, and I wouldn't miss it for anything.” She’ll probably be back for movies, but not now despite RKO and other interest. “This is a vacation,” she explained. “I took the precaution of signing for the new Ed Wynn stage in New York before I came out, so I'd be able to resist I'm doing summer stock dhenever I can says. show offers if I got any. get away, and just finished ‘Tonight or Never' in Ridgefield (Conn.). I don’t believe one can get too muych experience and background.” Miss Pickens is the only member of the erstwhile Pickens Sisters trio remaining in the profession. Patti is married to Robert Simmons, the tenor. They have a new baby. Helen is Countess Salvatore Mario Curioni. Duchin, with whom Jane has been solo star the last couple of years, soon may be in pictures himself. He's mentioned fre- quently for the prize role in the film life-story of George Gersh- win, who was a friend of his and to whom he bore a superficial resemblance. But the elocution lessons he’s taking are for his m. c. work “so I'll get rid of New England infletcions and make my voicer work better and longer.” Rl — |lowing were nominated by the 4 !

Everyone knows Elsa. Wizard of the wisecrack, arch-foe of stuffed shirts, dead-pans and wet-smacks, she brings to the screen a rare film of a world of girls on their own that is one of the most refreshing and, intriguing slices of entertain- ment to hit this town in a long time. This Cosmopolitan production for Century-Fox is completely gift - and - glamor conscious; there are girls who'll go to your head and girls who'll go to your heart; there are secresaries in love with their models and showgirls who want a good address, girls looking for life in a penthouse and girls longing for love in a cottage. And for glamor, there are New York's smartest fun spots, its biggest ad- vertising and model agencies and all the intriguing trimmings of ‘»Oplustu:flted Manhattan. .- berth here this afternoon after a| | Rice and Robert Davlin, low.
