JIMMY DURANTE, star comedian, whose last picture appearance was in Columbia’s “Carnival,” returns to the screen in a featured role in Co- lumbia’s “College Hero.” After years as a headliner on the vaudeville stage with his partners, Clayton and Jackson, Durante entered the legitimate field and appeared in “Show Girl,” “New Yorkers,” “Strike Me Pink,” and numerous other musical successes. His latest siage appear- ances were in “Jumbo” and “Red, Hot and Blue.” Between his theatrical engagements Durante made several pictures. Some of his later screen ve- hicles were “Palooka,” “Hollywood Party,” “Student Tour,” “Strictly Dynamite” and George White's “Scandals.” IMPERSONATES ITALIAN Henry Taylor, famous on the air and in night clubs as one of the rib- splitting Radio Rogues, has donned a handlebar mustache and an Italian | dialect, to play Myrna Loy's gardener in M-G-M's “Double Wedding.” PROBLEM IN FOCUSING. For just one of the sequences done by Eleanor Powell and George Mur- phy in their rain dance for “Broad- way Melody of 1938, the cameraman | had to change their focus 25 times. Wondering what to serve for dessert? Here's the answer! After Dark (Continued From Pn!e B-ll’_) Cahrd chunes for him until 5 of & recent dawning? ¢ * * The Hi Hat's Three Ms have some swell arrangements they'll sing for you quietly at your table ... if you don't blush easily, for they're sort of Dwight Fiske-ish. * * * Johnny (Madrillon) Shaw is a heck of a guy indeed .. . and his drummer, Al Spieldack, is worse . . . and a local news lad has learned that even friends can't be depended upon when a campaign of deliberate and malicious persecution gets under way 5 When the Roadside Theater named that cal after the lad, he shrugged it off as a gag, thought the whole thing would be forgotten, as it should have been . . . But he thought that without considering the du- plicity which makes up the soul of an associate who dug up a picture of the animal, turned it over to the rotogravure editor of The Star . . . So when the poor lad appeared at the Madrillon, Shaw had the picture stuck on the menu, awaiting him . . . and Al disappeared to retutn a mo- ment later and parade across the dance floor bearing high a saucer of milk . . . Then the victim of all this wailed about it in the office, and what happened . . . Next door neighbor, Washington Wayside, leered and shouted with glee and carried on the nefarious work . . . and Artist Davy Crockett added his little insult to injury . . . A guy isn't even safe in his own office. WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY. Cabot in Musical. BRUCE CABOT, who deserted “men- ace” roles for romantic leads, now goes into musical romance.

Al- though one line was adequate for the store, the proprietor, who spent considerable time in his office on a balcony in the store, had to make many trips downstairs to answer the tele- phone. This was not only in- convenient to him, but it kept customers waiting. For a small charge—about 3 cents a day— he was able to have an exten- sion telephone installed in his office upstairs. Legal Concern 25 foundation garments in medium- weight materials with swami and lace Often a simple change will make your telephone facilities more efficient. Notice how these pro- gressive firms have done this: A Printing Company The offices of a printing company were served by two lines and five telephones with pick-up switches at three telephones. This telephone lay- out, although practical for many businesses, was not suitable for this firm as the manager wished to be able to talk to people in the other offices and the plant without the aid of an operator. He a%o wished the employees to be able to handle both lines at the same time from certain tele- phones to avoid unnecessary movement in the office when alone. His problem was solved by installing simple key arrangements and an ex- tension in the plant. Anyone in the office may now handle an incoming call on both lines from his telephone and all telephones may com- municate directly with each other. This new arrangement provides a more satisfactory and efficient telephone service for the organization. nccupied two rooms in the same building. Telephone equip- ment consisted of a main line in one office and an extension telephone in the other. Since there was frequent occasion to communicate between the off- ices, employees had to go in person. A simple telephone ar- rangement was suggested and installed which permits direct telephone communication be- tween offices—without disturb- ing the outside line. A buzzer circuit signals one office when the other wishes to commun- icate. This efficient system saves much time and effort. of the hundreds, large and small, that are helped by means of simple, inex- pensive telephone arrangements and equipment.
