Laraine Day's trip to Gallup for the location of “The Bad Man"” was the first time she had ever ridden on a train. The starlet came to California from Salt Lake City in an automobile. Last year she went to New York but flew both ways. Long ago an item appeared in this column about a mystery woman who sent Danish Actor Carl Brisson the daily gift of a white gardenia. It had been going on for four years then, but the star never had discovered the identity of his admirer. Brisson has just returned to Hollywood. He tells a strange sequel to the story. The gardenias have stopped coming and the actor probably neevr will know the name of the sender. But he thinks he can guess her nationality.

Deanna Durbin’s love story is like the plot of one of her own pictures. She is marrying her first and only beau. The singing star and Vaugh Paul say they have no plans about their home after theid wedding next summer. Both of them now live with their parents, Too bad Charlie Chaplin didn’t think of the hilarious gag with the tanks that M-G-M uses in “Comrade X.” It would have fitted perfectly into “The Great Dictator” and might even have given the comedian an idea for a different finish to his picture. The comedy team of Abbott and Costello never made a picture until “One Night in the Tropics,” but Lou Costello has a colorful background in the film business. When King Vidor shot “The Isig rarade,” he was a scene shifter. Later he became stunt man. Remember “The Trail of '98," when Dolores Del Rio jumped out of burnine bui'dine? It was Costello who really made the jump. BRITISH Bombers — FIRST ITALIAN WARSHIPS Battle Italian RAIDERS Over London — AMERICA'S HIEST Boyvs and Girls —PRE VIEW — Tonight—1:15 A.
