When I clicked I did make it up to them and they remained with me that first winter as my accompanists— at a pretty stylish salary Eddie was with me until his death. The day he died I had to go on and do a broadcast. That was the toughest assignment I've ever had. Here's something that has always struck me as funny. While I was in New York, before I had signed a contract, I used to hang out with all those musicians We d be somewhere and the orchestra would start playing It's the hardest thing in the world for me not to sing when I hear music. • I'd start hitting hot licks like I do now— you know what I mean? Instead of singing the words, I'd start my boo-boo-booing and making all those little noises I make fn tune to the music. Well the boys used without exception, to say. "You re not cut out for hot singing, B.ng. Just stick to the plain stuff and you'll be all right. After I'd been on the air a while the Columbia people told me I d clicked. They o-ot me a commercial broadcast, raised my salary, I began making personal appearances—and everything was_ going swell Dixie and I were still having occasional scraps, but her mother was three thousand miles away and that was too far to go running home every whipstitch, so our rows only added zest to living ! _ . We came back to California in the summer of '32 to make "The Big Broadcast and then returned to New York. Faramount took an option on me foi "two . more pictures. During the fall of 32 and the winter of '33, they took up the option We came back out here in the spring of 33 and I haven't been back to New York since ^"College Humor" was the first picture I made that vear and I still dont know to what to attribute its success— except, perhaps the presence of that sterling actor, Richard Arlen, and that inimitable comedian Jack Oakie. At any rate, after its SCREENLAND release Paramount gave me a new contract which called for more pictures and more dough. , More trouble ! They wanted to star me. I've never wanted to be starred. It entails too much responsibility. I much prefer the sort of arrangement I had in "Going Hollywood " Marion Davies was starred and I was merely featured. She's used to the responsibility of stardom. I'm not. Ana from all I've seen of it I don t care to get used to it. , People ask me if I ve ever got used to singing on the air or if it still makes me nervous. The only time I get nervous now is when I feel I'm not going over well. But, being lazy. I generally fail to do anything about it until the broadcast is over— and then it's too late! Dixie and I haven't had a good scrap in so long I wouldn't even know what course of action to pursue if we had another ! We have a nice home, the baby is healthy, we re expecting another one in August, my golt game is showing steady improvement, the peerless Carole Lombard is sharing honorsfat least, I hope she's not stealing them) —in "We're Not Dressing," and the piquant Arline Judge is to complicate the plot _ in my next picture, "She Loves Me Not — and the studio has promised me a good long vacation when that's finished. In addition to the foregoing, the same fans who put me over on the air have stuck by me loyally through this first trying year in pictures. Taken all in all, I guess I m a pretty lucky boy. If only I could catch a tuna-fish weighing over three hundred pounds so I could be admitted to the California Tuna Club, and lose some of my hips I'd have nothing left in the world to wish Having done nothing to merit all this I can only attribute my fortune to the Payers of my wife and mother with a little blind luck thrown in on the side.

C.Walter, 389 Fifth Ave., New York a restful, quiet, introspective person you should have a background that will set ort these qualities and give you the atmosphere of peace and harmony that you require. 11 vou are a restless, noisy, ebullient individual your background should perhaps be stimulating, unless you are the type that delights in contrast and needs calm to set you ° Mr Pogany selected a still of Art Director Hartley (Warner Brothers), a design of modern bedroom-sitting room to illustrate the setting for temperament. lnis room is for a writer and is for use by a person who loves beauty, but has no time for ornament. The telephone is not hampered with a fancy covering or container. The desk is very plain, yet beautiful, made of two kinds of wood that give a sufficiently decorative quality to justifv its place in a room of this kind. You could use paint to get much the same effect. " "You will note that Mr. Hartley has put a silvery wall-paper on the walls " said Mr. Poo-any "This gives an excellent photographic quality to the set, and for that reason is good in the picture. Personally, I do not care for wall-paper and believe you should take into consideration why it is used here. The alcove and draperies give the place an intimate touch. I think this is a good way to take advantage of an alcove off a bedroom. Note also the way the shelves are set into the room s wall. _ The householder who takes the time to o-o to see pictures is apt to become dissatisfied with his own surroundings, according to Mr. Pogany. "He comes back— or she comes back— from a picture wherein lovely sets were shown and looks around at the home. Oh, what's the matter with this dump of ours .'' she says. (It's more likely a woman who notices these things first. ) 'We could make the place over, if we used some of the ideas they've shown us tonight. It's trite and it s tawdry now, but why must it remain so? "'Kay Francis had a beautnul bedroom in that picture tonight. It set her off Why did she look so much better by that dressino-table than I do beside mine? ihats easy : because her dressing-table is modern. It matches her personality and it sets her off while I— also a modern— am smothered by 'my old-fashioned surroundings!' Mr Poo-any is convinced that the public as a whole is not satisfied with an obvious, mechanical, or trite arrangement of furniture and treatment of walls today Pictures not only have to improve the public s taste but must carry them forward. "Eighteen months ago," he remembered, "I did the interiors for Gloria Swanson s picture 'Tonight or Never/ and today the furniture I made for that film is in homes everywhere. If I showed it on the screen now, they would say: 'That isn t new ! 1 have some of that myself!' But I made it only eighteen months ago. "Eighteen months hence, the things you see on the screen now will be common. "I am a modern man. I am antagonistic to the stereotyped thing. I feel that no laws can or should be laid down as to what is o-ood and what should or should not be done with walls and floors and so on.
