MOVIES AND M Wi BY M:u—l; HOLLYWOOD, July 8 (N.ANA)— A few suppress agents who idled over the holiday at deep-sea fishing and motor tours were back on the job yes- terday morning, busy as heavers, killing Off the results of Vivian Duncan’s bat- tery charge against Rex Lease, the moyvie actor. Very, very early yesterday morning the blond comedienne exhibited a dark- link eye to a Malibu magistrate and demanded the arrest of her boy friend. Lease the while was loudly comment- | ing on the bruised state of his shins, a state he attributed to Vivian Duncan's athletic kicks. The dawn scene at Justice of the Peace Webster's cottage at Malibu cli- maxed a slight difference of opinion which had grown into a_ progressive fight as the day wore on into night and “independence” was celebrated more and more liberally. Expletives having given out, the two took to fists and feet at the home of Charles Farrell, it would seem. But you can't hit a Duncan. Cicero police | discovered that some time back.

Friends who separated the combat- | ants took on a Coolidge-like reserve. | Plunged in work, they came to the| discreet conclusion that they really saw | nothing at all. In the old days of the colony many of the gayest week end parties finished | off with one or more of the headliners getting a ride in the village tumbril. But those days would seem to have passed. The colony has gone polite| with a vengeance. Headlines must re- | late something more than fisticuffs if they are to do a girl or a boy any good with studio heads.

So, 10 to 1, the little Dun- can’s temper will dissolve quite diplo-| matically. She will forget her back eye | and Rex Lease will forget his barked shins. And perhaps Charles Farrell will spend next Independence day on his yacht, where celebrant droppers-in will have to swim out to stage a fight in his_presence, But there’s good red blood in these here actors yet! Emil Jannings will come back to the studios of Hollywood, as we all thought when he was first allowed to leave these parts. But not to the same studio. This time Warner Bros. will give the great German actor an oppor- tunity to register in talk. Slowly the nucleus of foreign players is reassembling. Once they were the most interesting group in Hollywood. their parttes the most unusual. Their persistent clinging to their own tongues limited their entertaining to their own kind. with occasional variations in the way of foreign-speaking visitors. This time they will probably mingle more with the English-speaking actors, for the American market is by far the largest, and salaries will be made ac- cordingly. One of the most remarkable occupa- tions hereabouts is that of the girl who raises spiders to rent to motion picture producers for close-ups. Strikes me most of her actors are “between pictures” at the present time. (Copyright. 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) . Cameras Snap the Sleeper.
