C., FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1940. Bob Liked His Mustache, Real One George Raft Refuses to Be Filmed Robbing a Bank, Because ‘Norma Wouldn’t Like It’ By SHEILAH GRAHAM. HOLLYWOOD. Errol Flynn almost didn't get away on his yachting race to Guadalupe, Mexica. Just as he was about to leave, a friend asked him facetiously, | “Are you going to look for mermaids’ ?" In the same spirit, Errol replied, A garbled account of this conversation reached Mrs. Flynn. She hh'ed a speed boat and raced after Errol< the worried director. George was finally induced to rob the bank. “But it will have to be a State bank, not a Federal!” said George. . . If, by the way, you are still interested in the romance of George and Norma, it is still going on, but the marriage date is apparently just as far off as ever. I asked “Killer” Mack Grey, Raft's closest male friend, whether there was any pos- sibility that George would get the divorce he wants from his wife, To which he replied, “One of these days —1I guess.” * ok ok X ‘When Lew Ayres heard the rumor that John Shelton would replace him in “To Own the World,” he didn’t wait for a change of mind at Merto, but left the same night for his six-week flying trip in South America . . . Shelton, by the way, is the publicity romance picked for Ruth Hussey by the studio. But Ruth is refusing to co-operate, pre- ferring to pick her own men with whom to fall in love. I should have sald “man.” * ok k% Frank Capra is trying to get either Carole Lombard, Jean Arthur or Claudette Colbert for his “Life of John Doe,” with Gary Cooper definitely set as the male star. It's rather funny to remember the first | film association of Miss Colbert and Capra. It was a silent thing called “For the Love of Mike” (in 1927) and was so awful that after Claud- ette had taken one peek at the finished mess, she said, “I want no part of it,” and wemt back to the | New York stage. The next time Claudette and Capra dared make a picture together was in 1934, when, as you know, they each won the academy award for “It Happened One Night.” * X % X Marlene Dietrich is suffering via the current shortage of male escorts. She has only one now—Erich Remarque. A few weeks ago she had three—Tim Durant, Remarque and Von Sternberg . . . Mickey Rooney stood outside Producer Zim- balist’s office and gave a loud—and | superb—imitation of Clark Gable. | The producer shouted, “Hey, Clerk— I thought you were working in | ‘Boom Town'” (Zimbalist’s picture). | “Not any more,” said the voice of Gable. Zimbalist rushed to the door, opened it—and saw the grin- | ning Rooney. Who says we don't | have fun in Hollywood? (Released by the North American Newspaper Alllance, Ine.) Again the Marxes Audience-Test .| Their Comedy If moviegoers in Emporia, Kans., | or New York City roll in the aisles | with laughter over the next Marx | Brothers picture, “Go West,” it/ will be because the citizens of | and Chicago made it possible. To large and small places, the Marx boys are journeying soon M. | to get lessons on how to make people laugh in other hamlets and big o, cities. Although the stars have been do- Tk | ing comedy for more than a quarter " | century, they still claim no man FL | can say for sure what is funny and | what is not. The public is the onlv | judge. Hence, they have taken | five big comedy sequences of their . | script, worked them into a stage act M. | which they will play four times a day for 25 days, in a number of cities. Those 100 performances, con- stantly being changed, will give them an audience-tested movie later on. The comedians always have made ‘When they concoct comedy, they try it — |on gardeners, taxi drivers, news- boys, policemen—any one who will listen. ‘They also say American humor today is national. People in the rural sections laugh at the same Jjokes the folks do in a metropolis .| Another joke will fall as flat one place as another. There just aren’t any more hicks and sticks, thanks Maybe Groucho has the right explanation. Asked if audiences laugh quicker cE | today than in the past, he answered “Sure, they’ve heard the jokes so often, they now know when to laugh.” Apartment Sale Authorized District Court records today dis- closed that Justice F.
