Hommel Fred Kohler promises to become one of the screen's most likable character actors. The heartiness of his laugh alone makes him well mirth remembering R. H. Louise An extra girl, such as Betty Morrissey recently was, with an extra share of beauty, such as Betty Morrissey has, soon ceases to be an extra girl Rooking *^hem ©ver Close-Up s From the West Coast THERE are any number of ways of getting in the movies, including perseverance and blackmail, but young Paul Guertzman is the first novice I've known to sass his way in.

Or an interviewer. Or a tax collector. But he wasn't Jack Gilbert. The High Cost of Friendship HE Ben Lyon-Marilyn Miller romance is supposed to be cold now. But the other night at Lina Basquette's party Ben got a telephone call from Marilyn m New York that lasted an hour. Oh, well, maybe she was trying to get a friend in the movies or somethmg. Lois in the Legitimate EDWARD EVERETT HORTON and Maude Fulton are sponsoring a stock company in Hollywood, and who should be playing opposite Eddie but his old friend from the movies, Lois Wilson. Everybody likes Lois on the stage. She's pretty and sincere and doing as well with lines as she dia with close-ups. Lois's good friend, Gloria Swanson, is usually in the audience applauding her. Everything Jake with Jimmy THE whole town has been all hepped up about entertaining Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York, who has been out here on a little informal visit. The Academy of
