HOLLYWOOD FILMOGRAPH SPORTS KIDDIES Rex Mays Stars in Ascot Speedway Races — Wins Kiss from Mozelle Brittone Rex Mays proved a real auto racing star at the American Legion Ascot Speedway Wednesday night as 1 0,000 spectators were thrilled to see him win everything from the Italian Helmet dash in the opener and a kiss from Mozelle Brittone as she donned the Helmet on his head while cameramen clicked pictures, to the fifty lap race where he outgeneraled such race drivers as Kelly Petillo and Al Gordon. Mel Kenealy shared thrill honors with Messrs. Petillo and Gordon when all hands took a skid on the north turn. We regret to state that one of the sweetest boys on the track, Tom Newton, skidded his car which turned over and three hours later his life faded away. Earlier in the evening the judges had stopped young Tom and examined his car and found a loose connecting rod or something like that and had him have it adjusted and he went on his merry way, out to set new records. Too bad, the race was making 'em stand on their feet when the accident happened. Among those who cheered the loudest were Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt as they sat in a box the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hartz and Mr. and Mrs. Winfield. Ted Horn did some sensational driving and won from Art Boice in the three-lap class B run. Swede Smith, Everett B aimer and Al Reinke copped the honors in order named in the five-lap class B event. Jimmy Miller, Frenchy LaHogue and Frank Wearne came through in the second heat of the class B races, while Ted Horn, Jimmy Miller and Louie Tomei copped the high spots in the fifteen-lap class B event. NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT Elliott Roosevelt, son of President Roosevelt, will present the gold cup to the winner of the third annual 60-lap classic with many other thrilling features slated. The American Legion band helps to break the stillness between races and a beautiful moon caught our eye as it sneaked over the hill top. THAT WILL BE ALL TILL NEXT WEEK. HOLLYWOOD LEGION STADIUM Little Jo Tie Ken, Corean, pulls 'em in at Hollywood. Last ;k he took an awful walloping from Billy McLeod for five rounds, weathered the storm and came from far behind to win a draw. It was a grueling go. Frankie Van, a new referee hailing from Cleveland, established a record by calling five draws in six bouts. We thought McLeod won over Tie Ken. Red StephensBaby Manuel. 129 — draw. Vivencio Alicante-Johnny Baima, 155, — draw. Jose Fino, 1 1 8, got the nod over Tony Chavez. Joe Skube-Domingo Lopez, 147. — draw. Paul Medrano-Art Lopez, 128, — draw. With the exception of the main event, all the bouts were close enough for the draw decisions. Ch°r'es McDonald dishes up good cards every week. He has Tom Patrick and Wesley Ketchell booked for a return go. Hollywood's big business continues. OLYMPIC STADIUM Two world champions and four-bit gallery seats gladdened the heart of Colonel Jack Doyle last Tuesday by giving him a turnout of the faithful that kept the ticket sellers busy almost right up to the minute. "Slapsie Maxie" Rosenbloom, champion lightweight of all the world, outslapped Meyer (KO) Christner in the sixth of their bout. It was all lop-sided. Maxie was feeling very peppy. Hollywood was in his blood and maybe he could hear a party calling. When he rudely smacked KO helpless Benny Whitman just had to let Slapsie take the nod and run away to the gang. The late Carl Akely, the great naturalist, said the gorilla really is a gentleman ; never rude to strangers, living in amiability with all men. That's "Gorilla" Jones, middleweight champion of the entire earth. "Gorilla" is just a nice, mild-mannered colored boy boxing for a living. For this real reason, Vearl Whitehead, always trying, got a draw from the middleweight champion of all the whole world. It was a nice gathering and an acceptable card. Of course the retiring fans jammed the sidewalk to see Mae West leaving. That gal has 'em all rubberin'. CHRISTY WALSH RETURNS EAST Christy Walsh is no doubt by this time in the east where he will remain looking after his syndicate writings and business interests until Christmas time, when he hopes to return to the west coast. He came out here to supervise the football sequences of "Saturday's Millions" for Carl Laemmle, Jr., who produced the picture under the direction of Edward Sedgwick. 200 ROOMS EL Splendid Coffee HOLLYWOOD 200 BATHS CORTEZ HO TEL 5640 Sanla Monica Blvd.— HOIIy wood 5801 Shop Special Weekly and Monthly Rates by JIMMY ( HAZLEWOOD j J EDITH MARILYN FELLOWS IS BACK IN HOLLYWOOD After spending four months on a tour throughout the east and mid-west on the stage, radio and at the Chicago World's Fair, Little Edith Marilyn Fellows is back in Hollywood. Her last screen appearance was in Tom Mix's "Riders of Death Valley," a Universal feature. While east the cute little tot headlined over some of the biggest vaudeville names. She was a sensation in star radio interviews, she met up with Jack Hoxie and was feted on the circus grounds by the former screen star, and when she arrived in the Windy City she appeared at the Chicago World's Fair on the Enchanted Island where she sang and danced her way into the hearts of the great crowds. She had the extreme pleasure of seeing her name up in electric lights and for a mere tot this is some accomplishment. SHIRLEY JEAN RICKETT has been the busiest little girl in pictures the last four weeks. She is all signed to be Tomboy Taylor in the Mickey McGuire comedies for a year and on the day she finished the first of the series, there was a call waiting at home for some dramatic work (an understanding change from the usual comedy line) in the role of Maureen O'Sullivan at the age of five in "Stage Mothers" at M-G-M. Shirley and HELEN PARRISH modeled at the Biltmore Sala de Oro in a fashion show and were the only kids modeling. DON, Shirely Jean's big brother, worked with Benita Hume and Helen Chandler in "The Worst Woman in Paris?" at Fox. SHIRLEY JEAN TEMPLE has been doing some fine work in "To the Last Man," a Zane Grey story for Paramount. TOMMY HICKS will stand out in "Wild Boys of the Road" just like you would expect a boy only five feet tall and weighing 300 lbs. That's a lot of Tommy Hicks. TUCKO and WIMPO, those tiny acrobats, had a few days on the U. A. lot for that Twentieth Century production, "The Bowery." LEON HOLMES, JUNIOR DURKIN, GEORGE OFFERMAN and BABY PEGGY MONTGOMERY, all grown up now, have the leads in the Pasadena Playhouse play, "Growing Pains" to follow "Man of Wax," the current attraction. JUNE PITTNER, the little big whirlwind dancer, did her cane-acrobatic specialty at the West Adams theater last 8th and 9th and last Thursday and Friday played the Fairfax theater. BABY ALICE'S amazing Mae West characterization in the prologue to "Gold Diggers of '33" will last be seen at the Chinese theater Sunday, Aug. 1 2. Come up and see her sometime. BEVO and BAILEY have been busy, too. They have played Glendale, Long Beach, the Million Dollar theater in L. A. the last week and are now at the Mirror on Vine street in Hollywood. Strolling around KMTR we noticed Glendale's sweetheart. RUTH GRACE, going in for an audition. And a lot of good wishes went with her. CORA SUE COLLINS plays Claudette Colbert as a tot in "Torch Singer" for Paramount. "ALICEIN WONDERLAND" PEARL HAY, a cute HI' girl who came all the way from England, has had 1 2 years screen experience with British-Gaumont productions, which shows she is no amateur to picture work. Pearl has high hopes of being Alice in Wonderland in the American film and looks just the type — a sweet, demure little innocent girl with an^ English accent. She has had several interviews for the production and you can't ever tell what may happen to little Pearl — or is it Alice? PROFESSIONAL EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL Kindergarten, Grades and High School.
