Hollywood Filmograph (Jan-Dec 1933)

HOLLYWOOD FILMOGRAPH KIDDIES by JIMMY HAZLEWOOD = L Mays Victor in Main Event at Ascot— H. D. Provin Killed Starting in fourth position in the main event at the Legion Ascot Speedway last Wednesday night. Rex Mays (at the wheel of No. 24 formerly driven by Johnny Krieger) was held up for over half of the race trying to pass Mel Keneally and Al Gordon, who were fighting it out for second position. Mays passed Keneally on the 28th lap and 5 laps later passed Gordon and then started out to cut down Ernie Triplett's lead. Fortune seemed to smile on Mays for Triplett was forced into the pits on the 39th lap and Mays coasted in for an easy victory with Keneally second, Herb Balmer third, and Carl Ryder fourth. Mays' victory places him about 150 points behind Triplett in the race for the Pacific Coast Championship. Ted Horn annexed the I 5-lap Class "B" main event while Triplett nosed out Keneally by less than a half a car length in the Helmet Dash and came in for the Helmet and kiss which were presented by petite little Maree Marquis. H. D. Provin, one of the most consistant of the Class "B" drivers, lost control of his car in the South turn in a 5-lap heat race, and was thrown from the car, receiving injuries which proved fatal. Babe Stapp, who was injured at Ascot several weeks ago, was taken to the hospital last Monday for an appendix operation. The Babe seems to be having his share of bad breaks but he assures his friends that they can't keep a good man down and that he will soon be behind the wheel of his speedy No. 1 5. • • • • • Beverly Fairfax Kennel Club Closes Season July 29 After Very Successful Meet The Beverly-Fairfax Kennell Club twenty-eight day meet comes to a close Saturday, July 29, after one of the most successful of its kind staged in the Southland. Filmland stars and executives were very much in evidence during the run of the meet and will take advantage this week to attend all of the races slated for the last week. Many of the stars have been honored by the various events being run-off in their honor, and this will be followed out to the last day. Monday and Thursday nights have been set aside as free admission nights for the ladies, and it is expected that the grandstands will be taxed to capacity for every race and especially on LADIES, NIGHTS. HOLLYWOOD LEGION STADIUM Little Jo Teiken, Corean, had his second try at Speedy Dado to a packed Stadium last week and went down to defeat. It was a great main event and had some five thousand fans yelling throughout the ten hot rounds. Speedy nailed Teiken in the first flooring him for the nine count, and from then on held enough margin to give him a clear win. Teiken is a great little fighter, strong, game and aggressive, with a real fighting heart; but Dado holds the edge in experience. Teiken is coming and Dado is going, with enough left to handle most comers. The Filipino has checked two good boys, Baby Palmore and Teiken. Lou Daro Takes Over Olympic Arena Lou Daro through square shooting with the public has made a place for himself in Los Angeles. The latest reports have it that he has taken over the Olympic Club Stadium as lessee and that Tom Gallery is to stage the fistic events, while he and Jack Daro look after the staging of the wrestling shows. Jim Browning, world's heavy weight wrestling champion, having trimmed Gus Sonnenberg in fine fashion, is slated tc meet some worthy opponent next Wednesday night. "Gorilla" Jones, N.B.A., middleweight champion, was anything but gorillalike heading Tom Gallery's boxfest last Tuesday. His opponent ."Assassin" Wesley Ketchell, was very much like anything but an assassin as he obligingly stuck out his chin for "Gorilla" to poke at without interference. "Gorilla" is a sheikish-looking Ethiopian of very gentlemanly ring manners, as he frequently refrained from cuffing the "Assassin", seeming too much of a gentleman to inflict unnecessary punishment. If Mr. Ketchell continues to "take it" as he took it Tuesday — he'd better order his pneumatic heels at once, because it won't be long now. Ketchell is game beyond all cavil — and that's all. The "Gorilla", in a moment of excitement, nailed Ketchell with a perfect "pivot" smack; no damage being done, that great referee, George Blake, let the matter pass. "Gorilla" won from here to yonder. JACK CONWAY TO DIRECT MAX BAER Jack Conway, who recently directed "Hell Below," is to direct a battle picture of a different kind. He was yesterday announced to direct "The Prize Fighter and the Lady," which is to be the screen debut of Max Baer, ring giant and recent victor over Max Schmeling, at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. JOHNNY ABER and his clever roping tricks won special place in the DeMille picture "This Day and Age" now being made at Paramount. BILLY O'BRIEN and JERRY MADEN were the two newsboys who were talking about that haunted house in RKO's "Death Watch." The Board of Education congratulated CARMENCITA JOHNSON on winning first prize over 4000 school children for the best essay on the flag last week. CHUCK CANE is one of the busiest of our movie lads, scarcely finishing at Warners-First National before being signed by DeMille for "This Day and Age" and then going directly from that back to the new Warner picture, "Wild Boys of the Road," where he will again portray a tough boy. Those clever tap dancers, JEAN TAYLOR and JOHNNY ROBERTS, played miniature Weber and Fields down on the M-G-M lot the other day in an interesting sequence for Director Mack in "March of Time." GEORGE DUNNING and his tuneful harmonica had a nice bit on the New York street down at M-G-M recently in the Mack picture. VIOLET CANE and JAY BERGER had a wonderful view from Hollywood Hill where they went on location for "Deluge" for Tiffany. MARY ANN JACKSON and CARMENCITA JOHNSON enjoyed a sedate hoop-rolling game in "March of Time," with their small brothers, DICKIE and CULLEN as partners, all four looking quaint in their 1885 garb. Ever ride in a hansom cab? BABY SHIRLEY ANNE DIBISHER had a trip in one the other day, with no less a famous star than Alice Brady to hold her in her lap during the journey down at M-G-M lot. HORACE HAHN, fine young president of L. A. High student body, was initiated into the mysteries of the picture game on the DeMille feature at Paramount recently. DOROTHY FISHER and CAMMILLA JOHNSON, oldtimers, were among the L. A. High students in the schoolroom scenes. JACK DART is now in Chicago attending the World's Fair with the the Kiwanis Glee Club and is enjoying his tour immensely. He will sing in New York, Detroit, Buffalo, Baltimore, Atlantic City, Washington, D. C Cleveland and many other cities before returning to Hollywood. HACKNEY BECOMES A DIRECTOR With Warren Doane's announcement that W. P. Hackney will direct Louise Fazenda in her comedy screen return, "Nature In the Rough" at Universal, another Hollywood success story comes to light. Raymond Hatton, Bert Roach, Olive Cooper and Wally Howe are supporting Miss Fazenda in the film, her first since the recent birth of her son. PRODUCES AND CASTS The Lou Dorn Offices are being credited with some splendid talent for recent shows booked by this office which are now at the Foreign Club in Tiajuana, The Monte Carlo Shp, in Long Beach and also the Airport Gardens and Ship Cafe, Venice, which are produced by Carter De Haven. JOINS CINEMAS Michel Kelley, the Irish reporter whose friendly brogue brought the news of the day into the homes of thousands from KNX, has gone "screenie." No longer content to be merely a vocal personality "Mike" has listened to the siren and is about to consent to lend his material self as well as his tonal effects to enhance the Cimena. Kelley was "discovered" as a talkie possibility by Frances Bailie. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL Knde Grade !\d High School. Ho :30 12:30 :30 lo 12 ergarten, Oracles and nigh School.
