"I had to remain with 'High Jinks,' because that is the only way I knew I could .satisfy dad — to get it over with." That was all musical ciimedy had of Miss Hammerstein. In the few years that have followed, the cinema has fared far luckier. And yet, managers are still clamoring fur her in their stellar roles. That is why she calls the Selznicks the best friends she has in the world. "Myron is my boss, you know, and he refuses to let me play any theatrical engagements while he's starring me on the screen." She laughs over the titles of her productions. "The Argyle Case," "The Madcap Lover," ".'\n Accidental Honeymoon." A few months ago she was billed all over the country as "Elaine Hammerstein — 'Wanted for Murder'," and this, her first Selznick jncture — "I'^laine Hammerstein ill 'The Country Cousin.' " Her second stellar piece is called "Love," and her mother, who had just entered the room, said she hoped it wouldn't be advertised as "l'",laiiie Hammerstein in Love."

He bought him a jihoney Los .Angeles farm. And stocked it with high-balls and white leghorn chickens; The latter, I flatter him, did him no harm. Being not of the species that raiseth the dickens. He bought and he bought; did this film Galahad sad, ■Who so nobly declaimed, with such sotilfulness utter, '■ Till i)l;iy-<lay, not iiay-day, was all that he had ; His credit — his job— took a spin to the gutter. "O, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?" l^lc has married an extra-girl — Garlictooth Rhoda. 'Tho he walks and he talks with his bead in a cloud.
