star tips on tipping to ermine-trimmed Christmas trees! The hub of Hollywood but not because of the celebrities who go there Sidney Skolsky with his friend, Jimmy Cagney, picking up some valuable tips the wire,” walked to the front, looked across at the rival store, returned and said, “Yes, it’s still open. If you hurry you’ll make it.” “Thank you,” said the party at the other end. “That’s okay,’I * * 4 replied Leon. “It’s just part of the Schwabadero service.” • * * I never hear the name Tyrone Power without wondering what would have happened if Darryl Zanuck hadn’t imported Annabella to play a role in a picture . . .
