Gossip! By Cal York nd Studios International Their night of nights! Amos and Andy before the new Mayfair Theater, New York, the night "Check and Double Check" opened on Broadway. Left to right, Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Correll (Andy) and Freeman Gosden (Amos). The boys are dressed up pretty high, what? star, cast as a street gamin, to be sent reeling by another girl's aptly placed boot. Director Sam Taylor picked one of the extras in the scene to do the kicking. "You kit k Miss Pickford," he said. "Where?" asked the girl. Taylor answered her. The girl and Mary rehearsed the scene. The girl was ti><> sparing of the royal anatomy. "Harder!!!" bellowed Taylor. Next time the girl followed instructions. Mary went staggering across a street. "Swell," said Taylor.

We present, with seemly blushes of pardonable pride, the first picture of Charles (Ex-Buddy Rogers smoking a cigarette. It's a scene from his recent "Heads Up ".

He strokes his grey hair and replies: "It's not true— BUT it's the highest compliment paid me in a long time." M \RV PICKFORD'S miniature golf course was held up and robbed of midget receipts v~: And they said those things threatened the talk: AND did you hear about the merry wag who played a s>'lo game on a Hollywood golf course for practically a whole evening, and tacked up this sign as he left: "Opened by mistake." \_X7E report that William Powell and Carole Lombard are "that way" about each other at the present time. It used to be plain Carol, but after a visit to a numerologist she added a vowel. It seems quite right to us for the sophisticated blonde to be attracted to one of Bill Powell's type. AND who'd ever have thought that Douglas Fairbanks, would play comedy under Charlie Chaplin's direction? It's truein one scene, anyway. That'll be in "Reaching for the Moon." wherein Fairbanks and Bebe Daniels are starred, with Edmund Goulding directing.
