HOLLYWOOD, April 21 (N.AN.A).— When Hollywood makes merry en masque it's something to talk about. Easter breakfast talk centered on the bal masque which Carmel Myers gave for the daughters of William B. Mayer Saturday evening. The Spanish home in Beverly Hills was hung for the fiesta in gay-colored lanterns. A million-odd bright balloons circled about the: draw- ing rooms and turned the scene into something approximating German cam- era technique in color. The big worry of every one present was ,their difficulty in locating the hostess. Tall and slim, with rare Titian coloring and a gardenia skin that is famous in_this colony of beauties, every guest felt he or she would have no diffi- culty in finding the lady. So they chose some one whom they were quite sure was she, and mur- mured, “Marvelous party, my dear,” as they danced past. When the unmasking came, lo and beiold! their hostess proved to be a futuristic cowboy whose car had rolled in at the patio gate some little time after the merrymaking started—a fantastic creature in white leltl:aer and ostrich and startling black curls. A million dollars’ profit from a movie would seem to be a nice little salary even for a couple of radio stars. But William Le Baron explains that “Amos 'n‘ Andy” will doubtless get that by the time they have collected their salaries, plus royalties, on this first venture in the popular art. ‘The popularity of radio and record- ing stars brings them high in the salary field when motion picture producers sign them up. Helen Kane, the “boop, boop- a-doop” girl, was a voice known the country over. Rudy Vallee was known chiefly as a radio voice, although his charms had filled night clubs Manhat- tan-way for some time, and he is com- ing back to make a second picture, de- spite the fact that a few critics, myself among them, couldn't solve the secret of his undying sex appeal. The Two Black Crows made the mis- take of including most of the jokes which had been part of their recordings during the years preceding their first camera venture. Their contract in- cluded almost every little thing which could be thought of, including the reser- vation of parking space before the studio, but apparently didn't ban old material. But “Amos 'n‘ Andy” were slick enough to hold off until they were sure the vehicle selected for them would carry them over with a larger audience even than their established one. They will get a production approximating a million dollars also. And breaking through ‘a phalanx of women surrounding the piano at a party Saturday evening, one found Ramon Novarro singing the hits of his latest talkie and playing his own accompani- ment. Novarro's career in movies is a sin- gularly interesting one. During recent financial depressions I am told that his pictures not only held up the mark when others were doing starvation busi- ness but in certain cities broke all pre- vious records of the theaters in which they were being shown. l Daily Cross-Word Puzzle | .
