Answer to Yesterday's LETTER-OUT. (Copyrighi BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, January 30 (NAN.A). —More than the present heat wave has | the village in a dither these days. Three gentlemen who have made some | of the best pictures released hereabouts | closed their office doors behind them | and walked out of Pathe studios Wednesday, leaving the lot bossless. . C. Derr, chief executive, -and Charles Sullivan, general manager, took French leave following dissensions over | the Pathe-Radio merger. And inside the honeycomb of cffices sat a large staff of directors, Supervisors, sccnar- ists, dialoguists, assistants to all these named and assistants to assistants, | wondering just where they would get the next payment on the rolls in the event they were handed the blue slip. Mergers mean blue-slipping galore. Combines, with the ensuing economies involved, invariably do. And where heads fall in Hollywood and payments fall due at the same time there are tragedies of no small nature. Since the outgoing moguls have such pictures as Ann Harding in “Holiday"”; “Her Man,” with Helen Twelvetrees, and *Sin Takes a Holiday” to their credit during the year passed, they are not worrying about their futures in Hollywood. ¥ All three have been smash-hits: and one smash-hit makes a man in the gela- tine town. He can call his own tunes| after that. Add to all this the fact that the| racketeers have pretty well announced | their occupancy of the cinema kingdom with their printed lists of liquor prices and their delicately worded reminder that if local bootleggers do not accept their listings and conditions they will establish rivalry in the respective zon- ings of the city, and we are having a warm.

Aw, what's the use? He had a dia- mond belt, too, and a tall white hat, | and a neon sign, “T. M..,” on the roof of his Catalina Island bungalow. Designers will have to move fast to scoop Hollywood in fancy items. (Copyright, 1931. by North American News- paper Alliance,) Weasel “Came to Life.” Many animals will feign death in order to save their lives besides the opossum, which is famed for this bit of trickery. Zoologist Pike writes: “A cat of my acquaintance caught a weasel, and, as usual with her cap- tures, ‘brought it to the house. The weasel was picked up and examined, then put back on the grass; pussy played with it, as cats wiil do, throw- ing it into the air and tossing it from | side to side, and all this time the| weasel remained limp and motionless. The artful little creature was playing a waiting game; it knew that if it at- tempeted to struggle the cat would give it one bite and end its existence. “After a. time the cat tired of play- ing: she had no intention of eating it, for the srent of a weasel is not attrac- tive, and no cat, unless pressed by hun- ger, would make a meal of one. She left it to follow her mistress up the garden, and soon after the apparently | dead animal opened its eves, lifted its | head very slowly, saw its enemies Te- and a moment laler was lost in the undergrowth.” ! .
