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

CLOSE-UPS 15 Braggins-SelvidgeWright combine building a road near their lots on Woodrow Wilson Drive which they say IS a battle. • Mert Strong raises registered saddle horses and has one cow pony he takes around to rodeos for calf roping contests. He also trains and boards horses. Gallant Boy, one of the Santa Anita winners, is now in his hands. The next big event he is looking forward to is the Northridge Horse Show. • Herman Richards regrets his inability to attend the Indianapolis races over Memorial Day. He has gone every year and the Burd piston ring racer he helped build two years ago has the pole position this time, with Floyd Roberts at the wheel — and we hope it wins. . . . All the boatmen will be on the briny deep — Joe Aiken and Ken Pier will be racing in the Spring series. “Skipper” Hansen will be found at the Isthmus, as well as Carl Faulkner. . . . Those who have visited Hobby’s Sabrina Camp say it is one grand place and many hope to get up there over Memorial Day. • Winnie Leverett plans to take his golf clubs along to Canada so he can play with Don (enthusiastic over the game) Flick and Bob Bertrand while they’re making “Five of a Kind.” Should take Jim Trucano and Von along to really live up to that title. • Carl Faulkner reports there’s no end to the things you find in carrots cooked with peas. • The entry list from the Sound Department for the Ladies’ Coif Tournament is surely slim. • Believe it or not! Bill Snyder, the Gene Fowler of the department, likes symphonies, and Cecil Bruner roses. CROUP INSURANCE By FRANK BEETSON The scrub bowling team of this department holds all honors for high point, high ball, and high-ho everybody. This is to tell you that amid the confusion of popping beer bottles and crackling popcorn, the ignoble second team of the department kicked the daylights out of a heretofore invincible team of bowlers, previously referred to as the cellar champs, and at present not referred to at all. • Marguerite Royce is happily displaying a diamond pin given to her by Sonja Henie. o Mr. Levy is back with us after an extended vacation which we are sure he enjoyed. He is proudly showing a diploma and medals from the Nnstitut Litteraire et Artistique da France, sent to him for supreme achievement in Style and Fashion, and incidentally, the only onewe know of to be received by anyone in this line of endeavor. CROUP INSURANCE By MAY STANHOPE PAINLESS PAYMENT . . You’ll be a paid-up member and never miss those Studio Club dues from now on! By a new method, effective at once, deductions can be made in five weekly installments from your pay check. All you have to do is sign a slip authorizing deduction in the sum of 25c, 50c or $1.00 per week. At the end of the period you receive a paid membership card for the next six months. Proposed by Dave Alleman, Studio Club Treasurer, this plan is a great victory for the Club and should add hundreds of new members to its roster. Sincere thanks to the Studio Management, Al De Weese, Dale Garrett, and all concerned for rendering this much needed assistance. • PICNIC PLANS . . Are in the hands of Jimmy Dinneen, Maintenance, Ed Mueller, Transportation, and Ray LeFrancois, Labor, W.A., who are looking for the PERFECT location. Looks like the big event will be held about the middle of August. • SWIMMING CROUP . . Club has tentative plans about a swimming group. If that’s your sport, or you want to learn, send your name to the Studio Club. • BENEFITS . . Birth gifts paid since last issue total $325 and death benefits of $100 each were paid to the beneficiaries of joe Barnum, Paint, and Clyde McCarty, Drapery. • MUSIC IN THE AIR . . Eddie Abdo has resumed his popular singing instruction for studio employees after a lapse of several weeks’ location with “Suez.” Class meets promptly at eight every Monday night in Music Rehearsal Hall. Come over and get acquainted with Eddie and his ambitious members, one of whom is now on radio. • WELL-KNOWN NAMES . . Recent additions to list of Club members include: Annabella, James O’Keefe and Don Bush — making a total of 1600! Drive is NOW ON for second half of 1938. • WHISPERINGS . . “Cap” Greer is saving again — this time it’s ladies! Ask Grace Lloyd to tell you about this latest crime thriller. And — no matter HOW MANY tickets you have on the Ford sedan, ALL the winning ones are for sale at the office of the Studio Club!
