HE SAYS HE DOESN'T SMOKE OR DRINK.” MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif, December 17 (N.ANA.)—Young Moss Hart, the lad who made fun of Hollywood in the gayest tempo yet achieved, didn't find the colony down hissing at the station when his train pulled in yesterday. Most of them were out turning over ashes along the Malibu beach, helping their friends sift the charred sands for valuables. So the boy who wrote “Once .in a Lifetime” go. his first glimpse of the village without the chorus of boo- ing one might expect. There was the iuatter of $7,500 worth of De Sylva jewels to be hunted among | the sands of the seashore. (They were reported ranging at sums from $10,000 to $500,000. We do like nice, fat, round numbers here!) And while most of the sufferers were telling their stories to the insurance adjusters, Jack Warner, Hal Wallis, Darryl Zanuck and a group of merry huntsmen from that studio were tell- ing a deputy sheriff how it came they had more than the legal amount of ducks bagged. It seems they were short of the num- ber allowed when a fine flock passed overhead. One of the writers sug- ted they turn loose some gun dia- e, and more birds fell than they ever dreamed would fall.

The Siamese fighting fish has never claimed a foul, but it fights to the finish. The battlers, whose formal name is betta splendens regan, have caused for- tunes to be won and lost in Bangkok. Prominent Siamese keep stables of the fghters. Tips are whispered about town on likely winners of encounters.
