20th Century Fox Close-Ups (Jun 1937 - Jun 1938)

CLOSE-UPS 23 During the last month a 1937 seven passenger Buick sedan, a thirty passenger bus and a new film car have been added to the fleet. By-the-way, the old film car which travels between the Hills and the Western Ave. Lab. turned up a mileage of over 242,500 miles. It is still in use with the Fire Dept, as a pickup truck. Which all goes to show what good care will do for a car. • Was Shorty Belcher’s face red the other day when he came out of a store and found some one had turned his truck over. After turning it right side up again he drove it back to the studio none the worse for the mishap • What executive upon seeing a large body of men coming from the Santa Monica gate the other night, stopped one and asked who he was and where the men were going. When he learned they were drivers going to the Cafeteria for -their monthly meeting he seemed quite relieved. • If you girls want to go out with a man that a certain Screen star saw driving along Sunset Blvd. the other day and mistook for Cary Grant, just get in touch with this department. This young man is tall, dresses in the latest fashion and drives a big foreign car, has his whiskey and soda at Armstrong-Shroeders etc. To see him off the lot you would at least think him an assistant director, but our story takes a different turn. Alas, Ace Clark, our hero, is only a poor driver. • Gather around boys, Frank Room has promised to tell us a short, short story. O.K. Frank we are all waiting. By SIDNEY D. MITCHELL THE illegitimate son of Gordon & Revel ■ (“What’s in a name” Pollack) is doing fine. The uppers are biting nicely. CONVENTION NOTES: Pollack & Mitchell are taking vocal lessons at ? place. They got word they might be called upon to entertain. (God forbid). Gordon & Revel resent the way Mitchell resents Pollack. Jack Haskell came back from his vacation all tanned and feeling much better.
