Hollywood JAN -5 1935 FEBRUARY 1935 ©C1B 2 49129 (AA Ed^'" Hollywood Vol. 24 No. 2 CODE W. H. FAWCETT, Publisher DOUGLAS LURTON, Managing Editor ® J. EUGENE CHRISMAN, Western Editor Notes from the Editor's Cuff THE already rich Warner Baxter is threatened with a new fortune that has nothing to do with his screen career. With A. B. Scott, a scientist, Baxter is listed as co-inventor of an automatic, night sight for rifles, pistols, machine guns and cannon, by which any of these weapons can be shot with deadly accuracy in the darkness . . . Successful tests made by Los Angeles police officers aroused the interest of Uncle Sam's war department to such an extent that they are now dickering for the rights to the patents . . . Paramount paid Joe Morrison $2,000 for singing one song, Home On The Range in the film by that name . . . The alfalfa crop on Joel McCrea's San Fernando valley ranch netted him $1,000 and now he's investing in a herd of blooded cattle . . . Faith Baldwin, the author, is doing her best to fill a large order from her sevenyear-old son . . . the youngster demands that she buy Tony, Tom Mix's famous screen pony, for him . . . and, of course, Tom won't sell at any price . . . Russ Columbo's body has finally been placed in a permanent crypt at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, but his aged mother, still seriously ill, has not yet been informed of his passing. Of Interest to All Fans Warner Baxter A> NN HARDING'S condition is far more serious than the press agents have been telling us . . . The nervous breakdown suffered by the blonde star was caused by dehydration — drying up of the water in the blood stream — a condition the medico's are blaming to the big lights under which screen players toil on the sound stages . . . Ann is going away for a several months' rest, but her hideaway will not be in the South Seas as previously announced . . . Plans for the ocean jaunt were cancelled on the ground that she would be out of touch with her physicians . . . Emil Jannings is emoting in British pictures, but craving a bid from Hollywood, where he won his greatest fame . . . When San Francisco feted Anna Sten for two days, the Russian actress attended breakfasts, luncheons and dinners in the same tailored suit she wore on her arrival . . . And all because the railroad erred in transporting two trunks full of smart new frocks. Ann Harding Who Are The Most Beautiful Women in Hollywood? HOLLYWOOD Magazine has arranged to have the studio cameramen vote on this question and their selections will appear in the March HOLLYWOOD. Watch for this interesting feature.
