I Sereen credits are going a little berserk these days, or per- haps it's merely an attack of fanciness. Here we have Robert Yo billed as “gust star” in a Kildare movie, and Johnny Mercer, the song writer on “Second Chorus,” credited with “Con- tribution to Sereen Play.” Screen play of “The Bank Dick” is attributed to one Mahatma Kane Jeeves, who is a pseudonym for W. C. Fields, the star of piece. Favorite all-time “credits,” however, still remain these: “Camue! Goldwyn Presents. ... Title of Picture. . .. Pro- ed by €amuel Goldwyn. ...

I wouldn't have a chance out there. I'd have to stand 5,000 other women.” If Josi Johnson's stage is anything like her sub-d years, there will be plenty of citement in it. Things just seem |to happen wherever this black- haired, hazel - eyed beauty ap- | pears. As a sub-deb she was in- cluded in many of the 1939-40 parties, Then came the glamo'r girl poll and Josi went catapuli- ing into the limelight, all tho while protesting that she didn “want to be a glamour girl at all More excitement came in August, when she announced her engage- is in very career ment, Her romance withs Blaine Faber ¢n exciting from the day lunching with a group )4 in a New York res- taurant last spring when he came in, took one look at her and stood hovering near the table.
