76 Screen land ate there, and daughter of a local real estate man. Worked her way through college for a year, anything but wealthy, wearing unassuming clothes and not able to afford any of the things that make college life joyous. She wanted to be a woman doctor, but it cost too much in days when Dad's real estate broking was painfully broke. So she did chores for the Pasadena Community Playhouse and worked for the chance to act. One of our most hard-working and ambitious young actresses — only twenty-one now — yet she manages to exude poise and serenity. Noticed how they are breaking out into song again? Pola Negri, Genevieve Tobin, Miriam Hopkins, Marian Nixon, Warner Baxter, Stanley Smith, Jeanette MacDonald, Janet Gaynor, Lupe Yelez all bursting into song in pictures. Billie Dove's singing in "Cock o' the Air" was done by a double. Chevalier, of course, always does his own. Ramon hasn't been singing so much for us lately, but the fans hope he will again soon. Charlie Farrell has discovered that he should not sing, but Janet Gaynor has apparently not yet succeeded in singing through her pretty little mouth rather than her pretty little nose. Perhaps they will let Bebe Daniels sing "Carmen"' for us yet. This is Bebe's most ardent ambition. It is also Pola Negri's. Funny if we had two "Carmens" in competition as when both Mary Pickford in "Rosita" and Negri in "The Spanish Dancer" gave us the identical story in a silent picture a couple of years ago. Pugilism is getting a new vogue too, now, since the success of "The Champ." Jackie Cooper is taking boxing lessons and will do his own punches in Shuffling around the deck. Dolores Del Rio beat all comers at shufHeboard during the trip to Hawaii to film "The Bird of Paradise." At the tropical island Dolores learned to toss a hectic hula-hula. "Limpy." Jimmy Dunn is a boxer, too, in a forthcoming picture. Oh, yes, did you know they were scheming for a picture to co-star Jackie with Marie Dressier? That ought to be a pippin if they can find a good story — and they usually manage. The world premiere of The Wet Parade" at the Here's a burning scene from "Sinners in the Sun," with Chester Morris and Carole Lombard. Looks like a "thrill" picture — the other kind!
