THE EYES OF A NOTED FILM WRITER AND CRITIC
George Was Wary
GEORGE RAFT was wise in climbing out of the Mae West picture before it was too late. Any actor who plays in a West picture is due to be just furniture. Miss West may be an unselfish star — although I cannot say that I have ever seen such. But it would not alter the case. Her plays are built like her corsets to fit Mae.
Claudette Is Twins
Claudette Colbert is enjoying the experience unique of making fame in two lines at the same time. There is a comedy Colbert, as in It Happened One Night and a heavy drama Claudette as in Cleopatra. De Mille has ordered her to put seven or eight pounds of fat on her bones before playing Egypt's famous queen.
Joel Lassos Calves
JOEL McCREA tells me that the money he has made in the movies has enabled him to fill one of his life's ambitions. Which is to own a place where he can lasso calves.
That being one of the strongest hankerings of his soul — and he being a
talented expert with the riata — he and his wife, Frances Dee, have installed themselves in a fine ranch in Chatsworth Park in the Santa Suzanna Pass.
Joel is one of the finest boys I know in Hollywood. He saved his money as it came and when the time comes to retire, he will go out to the rancho and live the life of an old California ranchero.

Goat
The Delectable Marlene Dietrich went down to the United Artists Theatre to see the opening performance of Anna Sten in Nana. She hit it back to Hollywood on a dead run and attended the next performance with Josef von Sternberg.
After I saw the show it was easy to see what was afflicting the calm composure of Marlerte. In Nana, the Russian star sang a song that sounded like an exact echo of the one Marlene sang in Morocco. It was hard to think that it was not intentional. Accidents like that don't happen.
Rex The Lover
REX INGRAM came back to Hollywood with a picture shown at the Film Arts — Love In Morocco. It was
^OH>\^CraA/u
the first important work that has come from him for years.
Like all of Rex's old pictures, it had beauty and atmosphere; but the talk was so bad that it sounded as though they all wore false teeth. Rex took the leading role himself. As a passionate French lover following his Arab dream through the crooked alleys of the native quarter, Rex had all the fervor and fire of a remnant counter saleslady three minutes before closing time.
Morals In Delaware
A Crusader Is Preparing a law in •*»■ the State of Delaware that will prohibit the showing of any picture in whose cast is an actor or actress who has been divorced.
Well let's see; the only actors who will be seen in Delaware . . . well, darn it, there must be somebody!
