From Where I Sit {Continued from page lo) WTien Aimee calls into the microphone, er much-publicized miracles will mdeed 3me to pass. People who have been deaf )r years will sit up in their seats as if they ad been hit over the head with a chair. Will Alice Do It? ex 7"E are all wondering whether Alice : Vy White will take the fatal matrit'-ionial plunge or not. Alice has everybody : p in the air — "all of a flutter," as you light say — about it. One day she says she .ill; the next, it is "perhaps" or "yes and • •o." If you ask her boy-friend, Sidney riartlett, he seems just as undecided. They took a trip to Chicago to see Barttt's mother, and it seemed as though all . as practically over but the throwing of old hoes. At every station alone the route re•)orters questioned them. "We are not gong to be married," they said to one. The aext was told, "We may or may not." \nother, a few more hours up the line, elicited the statement that " marriage is a sort ■^f{ impulse, isn't it?" That left it as much a Iffnystery as ever. Then, a few days later, Jthey returned to Hollywood — still unwed. All right, Alice, say I. Take your time, t|)ld girl. But don't — oh, don't start doing •jji Harry Richman. My constitution won't ^itand it ; and I am not the only one. r' There's one thing you can say for Alice's }.romance. So far, she hasn't posed for any ;it)ictures biting "Si's" ear off. .jj. To the Music-Facers j|i'V yo longer are they expecting people who work in picture studios to get their tanspiration from within. Universal has Atarted a movement, and other studios are following suit, to placard the grounds with illustrated posters bearing messages of cheer EG one ancf all. Here, for example, is one thought that Universal employees are asked |to bear in mind: "Winners never pass the buck. When ^'ou're right you expect credit. When you're kTong, who should accept the blame? Face the music and go ahead." I am biting. Who should accept the blame im a movie studio? I have never heard yet lof anyone accepting blame for anything in IHollywood; and one thing nobody can say (about me is that I'm too proud to learn. Temperament Cure HOLLYWOOD has been trying for years to find a cure for that disease called I "temperament, " which is so rampant among movie stars. But I see that it has remained for the savages of darkest Africa to show us [the first really effective treatment. It was on a filming expedition to the SuIdan, headed by one Major Court Treatt; and the seven teen -year-old star of the picture, a native girl who performed practically in her birthday suit, suddenly contracted the disease. It developed that the young lady had been reading the fan magazmes — and she had decided that she had just as much right to throw temperamental fits as Jetta Goudal or anyone else. Major Treatt was a man of action. He sent her straight to the chief of her tribe, who proceeded to spank her ver>' hard at the point where it would do the most good. A complete and permanent cure, Major Treatt announces, was effected in a few minutes. The suggestion is there for any director who cares to make use of it. Believe It Or Not THE story about how Charlie Farrell averted a juicy new Hollywood scandal by just twelve minutes was passed off by our wiseacres as so much press-agent blah.
