HOLLYWOOD, €Cal., Feb: 1.—Circumstances alter cases -—-and movie ties. Deanna Durbin’s “Nice Girl” is now “Love at Last.” To feature a song by that title, they say, and Deanna's engaze- ment to Vaughn Paul has nothing, nothing at all to do with it. In “Lc at Last” is Walter Brennan, playing another of those white-haired oldsters of his. Walter is a rancho master on the side. So is Andy Devine. Recently, at a Hollywood party, the two sat down together and worked out a big “farm deal.” Brennen agreed to purchase a feed-chopper which Devine had acquired at auction. Price agreed was $5, with Devine to pay for delivery. A few days later Devine delivered, with the aid of a moving crew — but not to Brennan’s ranch. They towed it to the studio, to Brennan's set. Brennan had to take over from there, hi ther ¢ the chopper home When not thinking up cute ticks liwe that, or a picture, Andy is likely to be thinking about pigeons. Andy and Allen Pomeroy, the stunt man, are both crazy over pigeons — and were even before “A Dispatch from Reuter’s™ glorified the car- riers. Devine and Pomeroy periodically match their birds in relay races. Funny story about the Devines wedding. They eloped to Las Vegas, telling friends they were going north to a foothall game. They found a judge, but had no witnesses. The judge was help- ful. “I'll find one,” he volunteered, and made good. So they were married, in a “secret” ceremony, and returned to Hollywood only to be greeted with congratulations. That's when they learned who their witness was — a newspaper correspondent, to get working in Desi Arnaz has written hi You.” third song “My New World With It’s for his bride, Lucille Ball.
