“WIPE YOUR FEET, HORACE.” MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., December 9 (NANA)—When & group of several is picked up this way in very hard times. But there is a fine nonchalance to the professional extra which prompts ,| him only when terribly hard pressed | to take advantage of this windfall from may | the impatient ones who run for their hard times they're likely _ to hit a lower average. They get $5 a Tta of a picture—they do not enlarge their meager way of living but hoard their pennies for a run of bad luck. ‘The run of bad luck hit both them and the bank on Saturday afternoon, ‘when a rumor went about which caused & run of sorts. In a week’s time the institution may open again—if a means of financing it successfully can be “, the host of little tragedies story! ‘The life of an extra is often an epic Tunning or such part-time employment @s they can secure. The life of an extra often means a Reavy heart under artificlally lightened hair—hope eternal, unquenchable ambi- tion at first, and after a few years in the mob a gentle fading of ambition into scmething akin to complete anesthes; ia. In such lives the hazard of existence becomes its only thrill. But the safety of food with less exciting and colorful employment is out of the question to the professional extra. He must have his art, his long interval of idleness and his chance to talk and grouch with b’ cronies. He's often put to the extremity of hickel hunting alon- phone & 1. Strikes against .

They are the musketeers of misery, |the Hollywood extra people, ragged often, hard pressed on all sides, but ;lemuruome and courageous to the last! Rita La Roy admits that she may announce an engagement to Ben Hirsch- fleld. He's a village agent—or authors’ and artists’ representative, I believe they prefer to be called. Romance is doing well even in these hard times. Old Dan Cupid does more for the florists than civic good will, and the average swain still feels he can say it better with gerdenias than with | the English language. Experience tells us he’s nine times out of ten right about that. ‘That Foster boy will do the role of Hildy Johnson in “The Front Page” | when Howard Hughes starts shooting on that famous play. In case you don’t remember Norman Foster—and that's your bad luck—he played the lead in “Young Man of Manhattan,” also a mw-lr-per reporter role, and he did it excellently, too. The verra, verra pretty |girl who played opposite him was his | wife, Claudette Colbert.
